As the turbine industries need to manufacture turbine blades made of martensitic stainless steel AISI 420 with high toughness and wear resistance, local laser hardening has become more and more important. In this research, surface of the samples was initially hardened by high-power pulsed laser beam; then, optimum parameters of hardening were calculated and wear resistance of surface hardened s...

Electron polarimetry at the International Linear Collider (ILC) will be based on Compton scattering using a laser colliding head-on with the incident lepton beam in the beam delivery system. The shape of the differential Compton cross section depends strongly on the helicity states of electron beam and laser. Asymmetries can then be determined from different helicity configurations, which scale...

The theory, design and experimental results of a wideband 140 GHz, 1 kW pulsed gyro-traveling wave amplifier are presented. The gyro-TWA operates in the HE(0,6) mode of an overmoded quasi-optical waveguide using a gyrating electron beam. The electromagnetic theory, interaction theory, design processes and experimental procedures are described in detail. At 37.7 kV and 2.7 A beam current, the ex...

The concept of large-radius multistage coaxial cyclotrons having separated orbits is described , to generate proton beams of 120-2000 MeV energy at tens of GW pulsed and hundreds of MW in continuous beam power operation. Accelerated beam losses must be less than 0.1 W/m for the intercepted average beam power linear density. The concept is inherently configured to actively compensate the longitu...
