Biomass, though a major energy source, remains underutilized. Biochar from biomass pyrolysis, with its high porosity and surface area, is especially useful as catalyst support, enhancing catalytic activity and reducing electron recombination in photocatalysis. Indonesia, the world's top palm oil producer, generated around 12 million tons of empty fruit bunches (EFBs) in 2023, making EFBs a promising biochar source.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers investigated how high-intensity laser pulses propagate through a plasma channel by adjusting its length, successfully guiding 500 terawatt pulses over distances of 30 cm in hydrogen plasma.
- They observed the initial energy transfer involving higher-order modes and a transition to more efficient propagation, noting a depletion of laser energy that generates wakefields.
- Utilizing 21.3 joules of laser energy for localized electron injection, they achieved electron bunches with nearly monenergetic peaks reaching 9.2 GeV and total charge exceeding 10 GeV.

We developed a wideband RF cavity beam position monitor (CBPM) with a 217 MHz bandwidth centered at the 4.875 GHz dipole mode frequency as part of the preliminary research for a high-repetition-rate hard x-ray free electron laser project at the Chinese Academy of Engineering Physics. This paper presents new results demonstrating bunch-by-bunch position measurements on electron bunches spaced by 2.

Time-domain modeling of the thermal deformation of crystal optics can help define acceptable operational ranges across the pulse-energy repetition-rate phase space. In this paper, we have studied the transient thermal deformation of a water-cooled diamond crystal for a cavity-based X-ray free-electron laser (CBXFEL), either an X-ray free-electron laser oscillator (XFELO) or a regenerative amplifier X-ray free-electron laser (RAFEL), by numerical simulations including finite-element analysis and advanced data processing. Pulse-by-pulse transient thermal deformation of a 50 µm-thick diamond crystal has been performed with X-ray pulse repetition rates between 50 kHz and 1 MHz.

The combination of reversible angular dispersion-induced microbunching (ADM) and the rapid damping storage ring provides a storage-ring-based light source with the capability to produce longitudinal coherent radiation with a high repetition rate. This paper presents a prototype design for a test facility based on the study by Jiang et al. [Sci.
