Jay C Davis

From 9/11 Encyclopedia:

Military Scientist, who influenced the DoD, ANSER and Homeland Security during the late 90s. Davis is a National Security Fellow at the Center for Global Security Research at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. This is the laboratory, where he developed a weapon system, which was later made famous in Tora Bora, Afghanistan: Thermobarics. For the three years prior to rejoining Livermore in July of 2001, he served as the founding Director of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency of the United States Department of Defense, where he started to develop these weapons. 

Dr. Davis received his BA in Physics from the University of Texas in 1963, his MA in Physics from the University of Texas in 1964, and his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Wisconsin in 1969. From 1969 to 1971, he was an Atomic Energy Commission Postdoctoral Fellow in nuclear physics at the University of Wisconsin. 

At Livermore since 1971, he has worked as a research scientist and as an engineering manager, having led the design and construction of several unique accelerator facilities used for basic and applied research. In the 1970's, he was principal scientist and project manager for the design and construction of the Rotating Target Neutron Source-II Project, building the most intense 14 MeV neutron sources in existence, used for nine years by the US and Japan for fusion materials testing. 

In the 1980's he became the founding Director the Center for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (CAMS), building the most versatile and productive AMS lab in the world. CAMS is used by all nine campuses of the University of California and several hundred international users. He played a major role in the application of AMS to the biosciences, particularly in low-level toxicology and in dose reconstruction from events such as Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Chernobyl. In 1994, Davis was asked to merge several research organizations at Livermore to create the Earth and Environmental Sciences Directorate. 

In 1998, he became the first Director of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, integrating DoD's technical and operational activities to deal with Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs). Davis has numerous publications on research in nuclear physics, nuclear instrumentation, plasma physics, accelerator design and technology, nuclear analytical techniques and analytical methods, and treaty verification technologies. He holds patents on spectrometer technologies and methods for low-level dosimetry of carcinogens and mutagens, and for the study of metabolic processes. He has been a scientific advisor to the UN Secretariat, several US agencies, and has served on advisory committees for the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization, and the Institute for Nuclear and Geologic Sciences of New Zealand. Davis participated in two UN inspections of Iraq in the summer of 1991, and was selected as the only non-UN member of the team that briefed the UN Security Council after the confrontation at Fallujah on June 28, 1991 that produced the conclusive evidence of Iraqi evasion of the inspection process and violation of the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Davis was Phi Beta Kappa and a Junior Fellow of the College of Arts and Sciences at Texas.

He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and was one of its Centennial Lecturers in its Hundredth Anniversary Year. For his contributions to national security during his tenure at Dtra, he was twice awarded the Distinguished Public Service Medal, DoD's highest civilian award. 

His current interests are homeland defense, nuclear and biological forensics, applications of accelerator technologies to multi-disciplinary research, and strategic planning and management of change in organizations. Davis is on advisory bodies for the CIA and the National Nuclear Security Administration. He has served as a visiting professor at Texas A&M (-> chemistry) and Angelo State University (Government). He is on the Board of Directors of the Fannie and John Hertz Foundation. Jay C. Davis worked on future weapons. At the Center for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (CAMS) at LLNL he developed a wide range of isotopic and ion-beam analytical tools for use in basic research and technology development. Their research on Tokamak Plasma Spectroscopy at LLNL

helped to develop the thermobarics, whicH are able to destroy buried bio-and chemical weapon stocks. Basically these weapons work with a device which uses electric or magnetic fields to increase the speed (and thus the energy) of charged particles. In magnetic fusion, neutral beam heating is used on present tokamaks to heat the plasma to fusion-relevant temperatures http://fusioned.gat.com/Fusion%20Glossary.htm 

The third generation tokamak was developed a while ago by General Atomics in San Diego, California, the largest operational tokamak in the United States. In the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) they worked on a test reactor based on the tokamak concept. One method of producing nuclear fusion by compressing a pellet of fuel using a laser, particle beam, or other external driver. If the compression produces a high enough density rapidly enough while heating the fuel to a sufficiently high temperature, economically attractive amounts of fusion energy can be produced. The resulting confinement is called "inertial" because it depends on the inertia of the fuel itself to maintain the high densities and temperatures to burn the fuel before it rebounds and flies apart. Another method is containing a plasma or charged particles in a finite region using magnetic fields. This is called magnetic confinement. Basically the concept of beam weapons is very old. In the 50s the Russian scientists Sakharov and Tamm proposed an idea for a controlled thermonuclear fusion reactor, the TOKAMAK (abbreviated from the Russian phrase for Toroidal Chamber with Magnetic Coil). 

In the 90s the strategic Defense System Phase II ground-Based Laser (GBL) System Concept described "techniques of beam handling and emittance control for high current beams in advanced accelerators" http://library.nps.navy.mil/home/bibs/dewtrtz.htm 

During the 90s various laboratories worked on different concepts. In the scientific archives you can find "Laser Plasma Interactions" (Livermore National Laboratory, 95), "Megawatt-Class Free Electron Laser Concept for Shipboard Self-Defense" (97). In 1994 the Defense Technology Plan worked on 19different areas to use this technology for battlespace environments or electronic warfare and directed energy weapons.

In the same year Wright/Patterson in Dayton, Ohio started to develop directed-energy weapons which can be divided into three branches, namely: 

(1) laser weapons, which can destroy or destabilize targets by using electromagnetic radiation energy beams with a wavelength of less than 1 millimeter; 

(2) radio-frequency weapons, which can destroy or destabilize targets with radiated electromagnetic energy within the radio spectrum range (the wavelength is more than 1 millimeter and radio frequency less than 300 gigahertz);

(3) particle beam weapons, which are capable of destroying or destabilizing targets with neutral high-energy atomic particle beams (usually hydrogen, deuterium and tritium) or charged high-energy atomic or subatomic particle beams. In 1995, the USAF Scientific Advisory Board proclaimed that "directed energy weapons, both lasers and microwaves, will have widespread application over the next few decades" Thermobarics are part of the microwave weapons. Another definition can be find at http://www.dtic.mil/descriptivesum/Y2003/DTRA/0603160BR.pdf "..

.The Thermobaric Demonstration will develop a weapon concept that is based on a new class of thermobarics. 

Thermobarics include a broad range of high-energy density materials that are capable of producing high temperatures ("thermo") and high pressures ("barics") for extended periods of time. This technology develops the potential for producing sustained, distributed damage in hard targets. The weapon could be used against certain type of tunnel targets for a maximum functional kill of the tunnels. Prototype weapons will be tested under operational conditions for their performance, and leave-behinds will be delivered to the customer... Seven programs are currently planned for the future: the Second Counterproliferation (CP2) Counterforce ACTD, the Agent Denial Demonstration (a proposed ACTD), the Biological Characterization Testbed, a classified program, the Hard Target Defeat (HTD) C3I Demonstration, the Thermobaric Demonstration (a proposed ACTD), and the CP Analysis and Planning System (CAPS). Again, the USAF had no chance to use some of them, until September 11th, 2001!
