There has been an increasing demand to understand the optical, electronic, and structure properties of materials at shorter wavelengths in the far ultraviolet (FUV) and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) range. This has pushed researchers to examine and outline new optical devices as quarter wave retarder (QWR) which, coupled with other techniques, can provide valuable information about physical and opt...

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 ...

The quality factor of superconducting radio-frequency niobium cavities decreases with the applied RF field in the medium field range. The medium field Q-slope effect has been investigated by many authors but models, most commonly including thermal feedback, do not fully explain experimental evidence. In this contribution we analyze medium field Q-slope data measured on ISAC-II low beta quarter ...

In this article, we analyze the dynamic characteristics of head wave in multi-layered half-space media models with high-velocity layer or low-velocity layer, and the model with a continuous transition-zone between the crust and the mantle by using synthetic seismogram. It is concluded that the dynamic characteristics of head wave are sensitive to the thickness and velocity of the high-velocity ...
