Multiple self-emission x-ray images are used to measure tomographically target modes 1, 2, and 3 up to the end of the target acceleration in direct-drive implosions on OMEGA. Results show that the modes consist of two components: the first varies linearly with the laser beam-energy balance and the second is static and results from physical effects including beam mistiming, mispointing, and uncertainty in beam energies. This is used to reduce the target low modes of low-adiabat implosions from 2.2% to 0.8% by adjusting the beam-energy balance to compensate these static modes.

NEMS generated electromechanical frequency combs.

Department of Systems Design Engineering, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON, N2L 3G1, Canada.

This paper presents a novel technique for low-power generation of frequency combs (FC) over a wide frequency range. It leverages modal interactions between electrical and mechanical resonators in electrostatic NEMS operating in air to provide a simple architecture for FC generators. A biased voltage signal drives the electrical resonator at resonance which is set to match an integer submultiple of twice the mechanical resonator's resonance.

Deformable registration aims to achieve nonlinear alignment of image space by estimating a dense displacement field. It is commonly used as a preprocessing step in clinical and image analysis applications, such as surgical planning, diagnostic assistance, and surgical navigation. We aim to overcome these challenges: Deep learning-based registration methods often struggle with complex displacements and lack effective interaction between global and local feature information.

A low-frequency broadband ring transducer driven by the flextensional structure.

National Key Laboratory of Underwater Acoustic Technology, Harbin Engineering University, Harbin 150001, China.

The flextensional transducer (FT) is a typical low-frequency transmitting transducer that is capable of high-power operation due to its capacity for displacement amplification. This article uses the structural configuration of the class IV FT as the basis for designing a ring transducer, which is a circular structure comprising a multitude of class IV flextensional structures as well as circular acoustic radiation structures. The flextensional structure drives the circular acoustic radiation structure, which in turn generates sound waves at low frequencies.

Background: Dosimetric commissioning and quality assurance (QA) for linear accelerators (LINACs) present a significant challenge for clinical physicists due to the high measurement workload and stringent precision standards. This challenge is exacerbated for radiosurgery LINACs because of increased measurement uncertainty and more demanding setup accuracy for small-field beams. Optimizing physicists' effort during beam measurements while ensuring the quality of the measured data is crucial for clinical efficiency and patient safety.
