Design of Stand-Alone Cryomodule Based on Superconducting Quarter-Wave Resonator

Adaptive-Passive Quarter-Wave Tube Resonator Silencer

An adaptive-passive quarter-wave tube resonator silencer was experimentally tested using recorded in-duct reciprocating engine exhaust noise. The exhaust noise was re-played through a loudspeaker attached to one end of a duct, and the adaptive passive system was able to track changes in engine speed and provide attenuation of the noise at the fundamental firing frequency of the engine and the t...

Ultrathin Terahertz Quarter-wave plate based on Split Ring Resonator and Wire Grating hybrid Metasurface

Planar metasurface based quarter-wave plates offer various advantages over conventional waveplates in terms of compactness, flexibility and simple fabrication; however they offer very narrow bandwidth of operation. Here, we demonstrate a planar terahertz (THz) metasurface capable of linear to circular polarization conversion and vice versa in a wide frequency range. The proposed metasurface is ...

Niobium Quarter-wave Resonator Development for the Rare Isotope Accelerator

There is a growing interest in the production of intense beams of exotic isotopes for research in nuclear physics and laboratory astrophysics [1]. The Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA) is one such project being pursued by the nuclear physics community in the USA [2]. RIA calls for a superconducting cavity linac to accelerate the CW beam of heavy ions to ≥ 400 MeV per nucleon, with a beam power of ...

Optimizing Design of Stand-alone Hybrid Solar Micro-CHP ‎Systems Using LUS Based Particle Swarm Optimization ‎Algorithm ‎

Utilizing the combined cooling, heating and power generation (CHP) systems to produce cooling, heat and electricity is growing rapidly due to their high efficiency and low emissions in commercial and industrial applications. In conventional CHP systems the deficit of the system power can be purchased from the grid. However, this system cannot be used as the standalone application. The hybrid so...
