Scaling down Synchronous Acceleration: Recent Results, Current Status, and Future Plans of a Subrelativistic Dielectric Laser Acceleration Project
نویسندگان
چکیده
The current status of subrelativistic acceleration via optical-scale Dielectric Laser Accelerators (DLAs), with an emphasis on those developed and tested at FriedrichAlexander University in Erlangen, Germany, is reviewed. This promising field of accelerators has demonstrated proofof-principle results in multiple energy regimes and current efforts are moving towards developing miniaturized standalone relativistic electron sources. The near-term experiments necessary to reach this goal are detailed.

Effects of Far- and Near-Field Multiple Earthquakes on the RC SDOF Fragility Curves Using Different First Shock Scaling Methods
Typically, to study the effects of consecutive earthquakes, it is necessary to consider definite intensity levels of the first shock. Methods commonly used to define intensity involve scaling the first shock to a specified maximum interstorey drift. In this study the structure’s predefined elastic spectral acceleration caused by the first shock is also considered for scaling. This study aims to...

متن کاملElectromagnetic forces on the dielectric layers of the planar optical Bragg acceleration structure.
Optical Bragg acceleration structures are waveguides with a vacuum core and dielectric layers as a cladding, designed to guide laser light at the speed-of-light TM mode and accelerate charged particles. In this study, we analyze the electromagnetic forces exerted on the dielectric layers of a planar structure by both the guided laser light and the wake-field of moving charges. The distribution ...

متن کاملDown Syndrome: Current Status, Challenges and Future Perspectives
Down syndrome (DS) is a birth defect with huge medical and social costs, caused by trisomy of whole or part of chromosome 21. It is the most prevalent genetic disease worldwide and the common genetic cause of intellectual disabilities appearing in about 1 in 400-1500 newborns. Although the syndrome had been described thousands of years before, it was named after John Langdon Down who described ...
