RF sources for accelerator applications are dominated by expensive klystron technologies. Life cycle costs require replacement of the entire microwave tube at the end of life. End-of-life for the RF source is a combination of the power supply design and microwave tube design with failures the result of a combination of these two expensive components where the microwave tube is the fuse. GENERAL ST ...

To reach high luminosity in a collider, its beam must be focused into a small-size spot at the interaction point (IP). Achieving such a small focal spot size requires expanding the beam to a rather large size at the final focusing quadrupoles. This is space consuming and leads to large chromaticity and chromatic beam smear at the IP. Compensating these chromatic effects proved challenging because ...

C55-22c-270318More stringent challenges, as required by future high energy physics experiments, require higher radiation tolerance and higher granularity to the silicon detectors. Recently developed precision timing detector technology based on silicon Low Gain Avalanche Diode (LGAD) although exhibits excellent timing performance, cannot attain 10 µm position resolution needed for advanced 4D det ...

Rapid increase in observational data, brought about by the development and availability of Internet-of-Thing devices and measurement technological advancements, is posing a Big Data challenge for many domains of science and engineering, both research and commercial. These types of Big Data, however, are fundamentally different from the Big Data that exist in the business intelligence community alt ...

With this potential application as photocathode injector in the Linac Coherent Light Source-II (LCLS-II), AdValue Photonics proposes to develop a compact, high-power, picosecond Yb-doped fiber-based laser at 1030nm and its 4th-harmonic generation at 257.5nm based on our well-commercialized fiber-based high-power picosecond green laser technology (50W average power at 515nm for glass cutting indust ...

The changing global nuclear security landscape requires new imaging tools for remote detection applications. Integrating multiple imaging applications into one sensor has that advantage of reducing unmanned aerial vehicle payloads which can result in enhanced, streamlined data collection with fewer flights. While gathering different optical field signatures such as intensity, wavelength, and polar ...

65233 A significant portion of U.S. oil reserves is made up of difficult-to-produce, viscous, heavy crude deposits. To produce this oil, steam injection is used to make the oil flow more readily. However, as the costs to produce steam rise (due to natural gas price increases and water availability) and as environmental regulations become more restrictive, new technology is needed that is ...
