The high-temperature superconducting cuprate La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO(4) (LSCO) shows several phases ranging from antiferromagnetic insulator to metal with increasing hole doping. To understand how the nature of the hole state evolves with doping, we have carried out high-resolution Compton scattering measurements at room temperature together with first-principles electronic structure computations on a series of LSCO single crystals in which the hole doping level varies from the underdoped (UD) to the overdoped (OD) regime. Holes in the UD system are found to primarily populate the O 2p(x)/p(y) orbitals. In contrast, the character of holes in the OD system is very different in that these holes mostly enter Cu d orbitals. High-resolution Compton scattering provides a bulk-sensitive method for imaging the orbital character of dopants in complex materials.

Bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) and multispecific antibodies (msAbs) represent a promising frontier in therapeutic antibody development, offering unique capabilities not achievable with traditional monoclonal antibodies. Despite their potential, significant challenges remain due to their increased molecular complexity. One prominent challenge is the correct assembly of light and heavy chains, as improper pairing leads to mispaired or incompletely assembled species that lack therapeutic efficacy and possess undesired properties, impairing the developability, manufacturability, and safety.

The design and optimization of laser-Compton x-ray systems based on compact distributed charge accelerator structures can enable micron-scale imaging of disease and the concomitant production of beams of Very High Energy Electrons (VHEEs) capable of producing FLASH-relevant dose rates. The physics of laser-Compton x-ray scattering ensures that the scattered x-rays follow exactly the trajectory of the incident electrons, thus providing a route to image-guided, VHEE FLASH radiotherapy. The keys to a compact architecture capable of producing both laser-Compton x-rays and VHEEs are the use of X-band RF accelerator structures which have been demonstrated to operate with over 100 MeV/m acceleration gradients.

High-resolution positron emission tomography (PET) relies on the accurate positioning of annihilation photons impinging the crystal array. However, conventional positioning algorithms in light-sharing PET detectors are often limited due to edge effects and/or the absence of additional information for identifying and correcting scattering within the crystal array (known as inter-crystal scattering). This study explores the feasibility of deep neural network (DNN) techniques for more precise event positioning in finely segmented and highly multiplexed PET detectors with light-sharing.

Background: Good timing resolution in medical imaging applications such as TOF-CT or TOF-PET can boost image quality or patient comfort significantly by reducing the influence of background noise. However, the timing resolution of state-of-the-art detectors in CT and PET are limited by their light emission process. Core-valence cross-luminescence is an alternative, but well-known compounds (e.

The wire diameter must be designed thin enough, for example ∼ 10 µm in many published works, to comply a high spatial resolution. This results in a low laser-target interception, which limits the photon yield.
