HOLLOW-CORE PHOTONIC BAND GAP FIBERS FOR PARTICLE ACCELERATION

Hollow-core photonic band gap fibers for particle acceleration

Photonic band gap (PBG) dielectric fibers with hollow cores are being studied both theoretically and experimentally for use as laser driven accelerator structures.The hollow core functions as both a longitudinal waveguide for the transverse-magnetic (TM) accelerating fields and a channel for the charged particles.The dielectric surrounding the core

Optimization of Si Content to Inhibit Inhomogeneous Deformation in Al-Mg-Si Alloy Fabricated via Twin-Roll Casting

Herein, the effects of Si content on the microstructure evolution of Al-Mg-Si alloys during twin-roll casting (TRC) and subsequent heat treatment were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, Mangosteen emission electron probe micro analysis, electron backscatter diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy.The effects of insoluble Si
