Judge temporarily blocks DOE’s move to slash university research funding
A group of universities led by the American Association of Universities (AAU) acted swiftly to oppose a policy action by the Department of Energy that would cut the funds it pays to universities for the indirect costs of research under DOE grants. The group filed suit Monday, April 14, challenging a what it termed a “flagrantly unlawful action” that could “devastate scientific research at America’s universities.”
By Wednesday, the U.S. District Court judge hearing the case issued a temporary restraining order effective nationwide, preventing the DOE from implementing the policy or terminating any existing grants.

Particle discrimination and deceleration are studied with employing experimental devices which simulate direct energy converters used for D–3He reactor. A Cusp-DEC simulator with a slanted cusp field is constructed, and the preparative numerical simulation about it shows the better discrimination is expected for ions with a small pitch angle. Experimental results in a TWDEC simulator are presented. Due to the measurements of energy distribution, the effectiveness of spatially varied wavelength structure is demonstrated. The simple 1-D orbit calculation shows that the efficiency of the same extent as that of the 2-D numerical simulation would be achieved in the experimental device.
