Field size consistency of nominally matched linacs

Variable Field Bending Magnets for Recirculating Linacs

A lattice of single aperture superconducting variable field bending magnets is proposed as a cheap and practical way to recirculate the beams in recirculating linear accelerators. It is shown that the VFBM's can be configured to provide strong focusing in both transverse planes for the full range of beam momenta transported by the lattice.

Investigating the consistency of woodwind instrument manufacturing by comparing five nominally identical oboes RUNNING TITLE Consistency of oboe manufacturing AUTHORS

Size-Matched Radical Multivalency.

Persistent π-radicals such as MV+• (MV refers to methyl viologen, i.e., N,N'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinum) engage in weak radical-radical interactions. This phenomenon has been utilized recently in supramolecular chemistry with the discovery that MV+• and [cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene)]2(+•) (CBPQT2(+•)) form a strong 1:1 host-guest complex [CBPQT⊂MV]3(+•). In this full paper, we describe the ext...

Compressive Matched-Field Processing

Source localization by matched-field processing (MFP) generally involves solving a number of computationally intensive partial differential equations. This paper introduces a technique that mitigates this computational workload by "compressing" these computations. Drawing on key concepts from the recently developed field of compressed sensing, it shows how a low-dimensional proxy for the Green'...

Investigating the consistency of woodwind instrument manufacturing by comparing five nominally identical oboes.

For large-scale woodwind instrument makers, producing instruments with exactly the same playing characteristics is a constant aim. This paper explores manufacturing consistency by comparing five Howarth S10 student model oboes. Psychophysical testing involving nine musicians is carried out to investigate perceived differences in the playing properties of the two Howarth oboes believed to be mos...
