In light of the SPEAR3 upgrade project where the goal is to store up to 500 mA of beam current at 3.0 GeV beam energy, the injector RF gun and linac performance must be optimised in terms of reliability and injection rate. The basic linac system layout has not been changed for the last ten years of operation. A thermionic1.5-cell standing wave RF gun is the source of bunched beams at 10 Hz. An ...

Abstract Kinetic inductance travelling wave parametric amplifiers (KI-TWPAs) have been simulated using Keysight’s Advanced Design System. A lumped element representation of a superconducting transmission line has developed nonlinear inductor elements to represent the current dependency intrinsic kinetic inductance. This provides fast, simple and easily modifiable method for analysing processes ...

A reaction-diffusion model for the propagation of an idealized forest fire is revisited to include the effect of wind on the speed of propagation. We study the existence of one-dimensional travelling wave solutions. When the wind velocity is zero or when the wind blows from the burning region, the existence and uniqueness of the travelling wave is proved. In the case when the wind blows into th...

Communicated b y y. D. Cockcroft; MS. ABSTRACT. Acceleration of electrons by means of an electroma,onetiic wave travelling down a circular corrugated tube is considered. The relevint properties of corrugated tubes are derived and the factors influencing electron enxgies. Some numerical results are also quoted for a wavelength of 10 cm. The problems of high energy accelerators arc &scussed brief...

We present a method for the classification of all weak travelling-wave solutions for some dispersive nonlinear wave equations. When applied to the Camassa-Holm or the Degasperis-Procesi equation, the approach shows the existence of not only smooth, peaked and cusped travelling-wave solutions, but also more exotic solutions with fractal-like wave profiles.

Tissue interaction plays a major role in many morphogenetic processes, particularly those associated with skin organ primordia. We examine travelling wave solutions in a tissue interaction model for skin pattern formation which is firmly based on the known biology. From a phase space analysis we conjecture the existence of travelling waves with specific wave speeds. Subsequently, analytical app...

A travelling Lamb wave tactile display has been developed. To indicate smooth or braking sensation, the device is controlled in order to impose the relative speed between the finger and the wave, so that a variable shear force appears on the fingerpulp. Moreover, at low frequency, an amplitude modulation of the travelling Lamb wave is achieved so as to excite alternatively shear forces on the s...

In this paper, a generalized Camassa–Holm equation is studied by using the integral bifurcation method. Many travelling waves such as peaked compacton, compacton, peaked solitary wave, solitary wave and kink-like wave are found. In some parameter conditions, exact parametric representations of these travelling waves in explicit form and implicit form are obtained. 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights ...
