In this paper we present a detailed discussion of the helical undulator system developed for high extraction efficiency experiments in the tapered-enhanced stimulated superradiant amplification regime. The design is based on permanent magnet technology and comprises two Halbach arrays orthogonally oriented and shifted by 90° with respect to each other. When used in low energy beamlines for THz generation, the electron beam trajectory and transport are particularly sensitive to the undulator off-axis fields so that it becomes important to complement on-axis field measurements with analysis and tuning of the higher-order field components. Here we describe how the pulsed wire measurement technique can be effectively used to retrieve on- and off-axis magnetic field characteristics of the undulator. A simple two-dipole model is developed to guide the final adjustments to the permanent magnet positions along the array to tune the quadrupole and sextupole components of the field.

A technological approach for direct glass structuring is presented by exploiting electron-beam-induced defect generation utilizing a conventional scanning electron microscope (SEM). The structuring process is assumed to be linked to electron-beam-induced ion migration and allows to create structures of several hundred nanometers in depth. It is demonstrated that the structuring can be realized in literally any SEM, which thus enables a comparatively simple implementation in support of a broad field of applications.

The influence of quantum mechanics on the dynamics of chemical reactions is unknown for many processes in chemistry. Chemical reaction dynamics are often well described by quasiclassical motion of the atoms on quantum mechanical Born-Oppenheimer potential energy surfaces. Here we present a dynamic isotope effect in a nucleophilic substitution reaction experiment that can only be explained by quasiclassical trajectory simulations for reactants containing deuterium atoms, but not when hydrogen atoms are involved.

We study the dynamics of space-time nondiffracting wave packets, commonly known as light bullets, in a spatiotemporally varying medium. We show that by spatiotemporal refraction, a monochromatic focused beam can be converted to a light bullet that propagates at a given velocity. By further designing the index profile of the spatiotemporal boundary, the group velocity and the propagation direction of the light bullet can be engineered in a programmable way.

IEEE Trans Biomed Eng
December 2024
Objective: Magnetic resonance imaging of the breast and the chest wall imaging was performed at ultra-low field (ULF) using optimal radiofrequency (RF) coil designs and, with an eye toward future application in MR-guided proton therapy (MRgPT), simulation studies of a pencil proton beam trajectory in low and ultra-low magnetic fields were performed.
Methods: The primary focus in this study is the RF coil design, which is approached as a multi-objective optimization (MOO) problem and effectively solved using a Pareto optimality formalism. Our coil winding pattern algorithm simultaneously optimizes the magnetic field homogeneity of the coil, the attainable MRI signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and the magnetic field drop-off into the chest wall for improved OAR imaging.
In this Letter, we propose an ultralong twisted optical needle array, derived from a circular hyperbolic umbilic beam (CHUB) array. When propagating within a parabolic potential, the CHUBs periodically focus on optical needles. By extending the Heisenberg equation from quantum mechanics to optics, we theoretically demonstrate that introducing a linear chirp phase and offset modulation causes the optical needles to propagate along spiral trajectories.
