The properties of ion orbits in the central region of a cyclotron
Creators: name: Louis, R.
Publisher: name: TRIUMF
Year: 2015

description: The behaviour of ion orbits in the magnetic and electric fields at the centre of a cyclotron is studied in detail. The objective is to optimize the phase acceptance and beam quality for a 500 MeV H⁻ isochronous cyclotron. Since accurate electric fields are necessary for orbit calculations, a numerical method for calculating those fields is examined in detail. The method is suitable for complicated electrode shapes and converges rapidly, yielding potentials in three dimensions with average errors of less than 0.01%. The magnetic fields used in the orbit calculations are measured on model magnets. The axial motions are examined using a thick lens approximation for the accelerating gaps. A method is demonstrated for calculating the axial acceptance of the cyclotron as a function of RF phase. This method is used to evaluate the merits of various central geometries and injection energies. This method is also used to examine the effects of flat-topping the RF voltage by adding some third harmonic to the fundamental waveform. It is found that addition of the optimum amount of third harmonic increases the phase acceptance by about 20 deg. Finally, the effects of field bumps on the axial motions are investigated. To allow accurate radial motion calculations to high energy, an approximate formula is developed which yields accurate (<1%) values for the changes in orbit properties of an ion crossing a dee gap. The geometry of the orbit on the first turn is discussed in detail. The radial centring is studied by tracking ions from injection to 20 MeV, and a method is described for choosing the starting conditions of the beam so as to minimize the radial betatron amplitude over a desired phase range. The problems associated with using a three-fold symmetric magnetic field with a two-fold symmetric electric field are also discussed. Besides the well-known gap-crossing resonance, a previously ignored phase-oscillation effect is found to be important for cyclotrons operating on a high harmonic of the ion rotation frequency.

description: The development of parametric instabilities in a large scale inhomogeneous plasma with an incident laser beam composed of multiple-frequency components is studied theoretically and numerically. Firstly, theoretical analyses of the coupling between two laser beamlets with certain frequency difference $δω_0$ for parametric instabilities is presented. It suggests that the two beamlets will be decoupled when $δω_0$ is larger than certain thresholds, which are derived for stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), and two plasmon decay (TPD), respectively. In this case, the parametric instabilities for the two beamlets develop independently and can be controlled at a low level provided the laser intensity for individual beamlet is low enough. Secondly, numerical simulations of parametric instabilities with two or more beamlets ($N\sim20$) have been carried out and the above theory model is validated. Simulations confirm that the development of parametric instabilities with multiple beamlets can be controlled at a low level, provided the threshold conditions for $δω_0$ is satisfied, even though the total laser intensity is as high as $\sim10^{15}$W/cm$^2$. With such a laser beam structure of multiple frequency components ($N\gtrsim20$) and total bandwidth of a few percentages ($\gtrsim4\%$), the parametric instabilities can be well-controlled.

description: We report the results of detailed thermodynamic investigations of the Sn$_{20}$ cluster using density-functional molecular dynamics. These simulations have been performed over a temperature range of 150 to 3000 K, with a total simulation time of order 1 ns. The prolate ground state and low-lying isomers consist of two tricapped trigonal prism (TTP) units stacked end to end. The ionic specific heat, calculated via a multihistogram fit, shows a small peak around 500 K and a shoulder around 850 K. The main peak occurs around 1200 K, about 700 K higher than the bulk melting temperature, but significantly lower than that for Sn$_{10}$. The main peak is accompanied by a sharp change in the prolate shape of the cluster due to the fusion of the two TTP units to form a compact, near spherical structure with a diffusive liquidlike ionic motion. The small peak at 500 K is associated with rearrangement processes within the TTP units, while the shoulder at 850 K corresponds to distortion of at least one TTP unit, preserving the overall prolate shape of the cluster. At all temperatures observed, the bonding remains covalent.

description: This is a study of the freezing/reheating behavior of aqueous solutions of mannitol with respect to lyophilization process development given the prevalent use of the excipient. Here, through-vial impedance spectroscopy (TVIS) was used to study the thermophysical kinetics of an aqueous solution of 5%w/v mannitol during a freezing and re-heating phase of a freeze-drying cycle. Temperature calibration of the TVIS parameter FPEAK enabled the determination of the ice nucleation temperature Tn at −13 oC while the ice solidification end point was observed based on the time profile of C' (0.2MHz), i.e. the real part capacitance at 0.2 MHz. A time difference of 20 min between the onset and end point then defines the ice solidification time ti. A later step in C' (0.2MHz) indicated that mannitol crystallized at -32 oC and 20 minutes from end of ice solidification. Upon reheating at 0.2 oC/min, a large increase in C' (0.2MHz) was seen at −32 oC indicating the onset of melting of mannitol crystals which then lasted 20 min.

description: We study the dynamical equations for extra-dimensional dependence of a warp factor and a bulk scalar in 5d brane world scenarios with induced brane metric of constant curvature. These equations are similar to those for the time dependence of the scale factor and a scalar field in 4d cosmology, but with the sign of the scalar field potential reversed. Based on this analogy, we introduce novel methods for studying the warped geometry. We construct the full phase portraits of the warp factor/scalar system for several examples of the bulk potential. This allows us to view the global properties of the warped geometry. For flat branes, the phase portrait is two dimensional. Moving along typical phase trajectories, the warp factor is initially increasing and finally decreasing. All trajectories have timelike gradient-dominated singularities at one or both of their ends, which are reachable in a finite distance and must be screened by the branes. For curved branes, the phase portrait is three dimensional. However, as the warp factor increases the phase trajectories tend towards the two dimensional surface corresponding to flat branes. We discuss this property as a mechanism that may stretch the curved brane to be almost flat, with a small cosmological constant. Finally, we describe the embedding of branes in the 5d bulk using the phase space geometric methods developed here. In this language the boundary conditions at the branes can be described as a 1d curve in the phase space. We discuss the naturalness of tuning the brane potential to stabilize the brane world system.

description: We present spectroscopic observations of the stellar motions in the disk of the superthin edge-on spiral galaxy IC 5249 and re-analyse synthesis observations of the HI. We find that the HI rotation curve rises initially to about 90-100 km/s, but contrary to the conclusion of Abe et al. (1999) flattens well before the edge of the optical disk. Over most part of the optical disk we have been able to establish that the (tangential) stellar velocity dispersion is 25-30 km/s. From earlier surface photometry we adopt a value for the radial scalelength of the disk of 7 +/- 1 kpc, a vertical scaleheight of 0.65 +/- 0.05 kpc and a disk truncation radius of 17 +/- 1 kpc. The very thin appearance of IC 5249 on the sky is the result of a combination of a low (face-on) surface brightness, a long scalelength and a a sharp truncation at only about 2.5 scalelengths. From various arguments we derive the stellar velocity dispersions at a position one radial scalelength as sigma_R about 35 km/s, sigma_{theta} about 30 km/s and sigma_z about 20 km/s. This is comparable to the values for the disk of our Galaxy in the solar neighborhood.

description: INTRODUCTION: The link between extracranial carotid artery disease and visual symptoms is well-established, with amaurosis fugax as a precursor to retinal transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). The presence of cholesterol emboli and fibrin-platelet aggregates in retinal circulation has shown carotid plaque embolization leading to TIAs and strokes. However, not all visual symptoms are embolism related. Ocular ischemic syndrome (OIS) due to hypoperfusion is another potential consequence. This can manifest as visual symptoms similar to classic amaurosis fugax, where severe occlusive carotid lesions may cause ocular hypoperfusion rather than emboli. We aim to study the potential improvement of visual symptoms post-carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in patients with carotid stenosis and hypoperfusion-related ocular issues.

METHODS: We conducted a systematic review of the literature through PubMed and Embase databases using PICO-based keywords: (ocular ischemia OR ocular hypoperfusion*) AND (carotid endarterectomy* OR carotid surgery*) AND (outcomes*). PRISMA guidelines were followed. After removing duplicates and screening, nine were selected for inclusion through meticulous review and reference list examination. The primary outcome assessed postoperative visual improvement, while the secondary outcome focused on ocular blood flow augmentation.

RESULTS: The impact of CEA on visual functions and ocular blood flow in patients with OIS has been investigated in nine studies with a total of 545 patients. Clouse et al. reported that patients with OIS and symptomatic eyes had worse ipsilateral internal carotid artery stenosis. Subjective visual improvement or stabilization following CEA was observed in 40-100% of the symptomatic patients across the studies. Regarding the impact of CEA on ocular blood flow (OBF) and visual function in patients with carotid disease, the peak systolic velocity (PSV) increased significantly in the orbital artery (OA) and central retinal artery (CRA), after CEA. Cohn et al. showed that patients with OIS had significantly lower preoperative PSVs in the CRA than those without visual symptoms. In a study comparing CEA and medical therapy for patients with OIS and significant carotid disease, Yan et al. found that CEA was significantly more effective.

CONCLUSIONS: CEA can improve visual function and alleviate ocular hypoperfusion-related symptoms in patients with carotid artery stenosis. The findings highlight CEA's potential as a therapeutic intervention for enhancing visual outcomes in these patients. Further research is needed to determine specific indications for CEA in patients with OIS.

description: Cognitive impairment is a core symptom frequently reported in schizophrenia and believed to be influenced by glutamatergic genes. It is believed that the symptoms of schizophrenia such as cognition lie on a continuum, known as schizotypy. This theory of schizotypy suggests that the characteristics of schizophrenia can be observed in the general population but at a sub-clinical level. This thesis investigates cognition across the schizotypy-schizophrenia continuum and demonstrates the role of the glutamatergic system. It is hoped that this research will reduce stigma surrounding mental illness and contribute to the development of targeted treatment for cognitive symptoms.

description: Background: Survivin is an important anti-apoptotic protein and is involved in increasing auto-reactivity during the autoimmune diseases like systemic sclerosis (SSc). Aims: In the current study, we investigate the expression level of total survivin (survivin-TS) and its three important variants alongside with evaluation of the expression level of important microRNAs (miRNAs) that are involved in survivin expression regulation. Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from 50 healthy controls, 25 diffuse cutaneous SSc (DcSSc), and 25 limited cutaneous SSc (LcSSc) patients. RNA was extracted and single-strand cDNA was synthesized. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to evaluate the expression level of survivin-TS and its variants as well the miRNAs. Results: Overexpression of survivin-2B and downregulation of survivin wild-type (survivin-WT) were found in total-SSc patients; however, expression level of survivin-TS had no significant difference. The expression levels of miR-335-5p, miR-485-5p, miR-16-5p, miR-150-5p, miR-34a-5p, miR-218-5p and miR-708-5p were higher in total-SSc patients. Significantly negative correlations were found between transcript levels of miR-150-5p, miR-16-5p, and miR-485-5p with survivin-TS mRNA expression. Conclusion: Survivin variants had altered expression in total-SSc patients. In addition, miRNAs might potentially and negatively regulate the survivin-TS expression. Altered expression of survivin, regulated by miRNAs, may result in apoptosis resistance and auto-reactivity in lymphocytes from patients and have important roles in SSc pathogenicity.

description: We examine the causality and degrees of freedom (DoF) problems encountered by charged, gravitating, massive higher spin fields. For spin s=3/2, making the metric dynamical yields improved causality bounds. These involve only the mass, the product eM_P of the charge and Planck mass and the cosmological constant Λ. The bounds are themselves related to a gauge invariance of the timelike component of the field equation at the onset of acausality. While propagation is causal in arbitrary E/M backgrounds, the allowed mass ranges of parameters are of Planck order. Generically, interacting spins s>3/2 are subject to DoF violations as well as to acausality; the former must be overcome before analysis of the latter can even begin. Here we review both difficulties for charged s=2 and show that while a g-factor of 1/2 solves the DoF problem, acausality persists for any g. Separately we establish that no s=2 theory --DoF preserving or otherwise -- can be tree unitary.

description: A growing number of generative statistical models do not permit the numerical evaluation of their likelihood functions. Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) has become a popular approach to overcome this issue, in which one simulates synthetic data sets given parameters and compares summaries of these data sets with the corresponding observed values. We propose to avoid the use of summaries and the ensuing loss of information by instead using the Wasserstein distance between the empirical distributions of the observed and synthetic data. This generalizes the well-known approach of using order statistics within ABC to arbitrary dimensions. We describe how recently developed approximations of the Wasserstein distance allow the method to scale to realistic data sizes, and propose a new distance based on the Hilbert space-filling curve. We provide a theoretical study of the proposed method, describing consistency as the threshold goes to zero while the observations are kept fixed, and concentration properties as the number of observations grows. Various extensions to time series data are discussed. The approach is illustrated on various examples, including univariate and multivariate g-and-k distributions, a toggle switch model from systems biology, a queueing model, and a Lévy-driven stochastic volatility model.

description: We study rare decays of hyperons involving di-neutrinos in the final state in the standard model and compare them with other models. It is claimed that the branching ratio calculated in this article are 2 times the values of 331 model and exceptionally large than the previously calculated values. We explore the nonstandard neutrino interactions (NSI) and constrain NSIs free parameter with these decays. We obtain stringent bounds on of O(0.01). We show that branching ratios (Br) could be in the range of BES III if constraints are O(0.3).

description: Dry lakebeds might constitute large volatile reservoirs on Mars. Hypervelocity impacts onto ancient dry lakebeds would have affected the volatile distribution on Mars. We developed a new experimental method to investigate the response of evaporitic minerals (halite and gypsum) to impact shocks in an open system. This technique does not result in chemical contamination from the operation of the gas gun. The technique is termed the two-valve method and the gun system is located in the Planetary Exploration Research Center, Chiba Institute of Technology, Japan. We detected the vaporization of halite at 31 GPa and devolatilization from gypsum at 11 GPa, suggesting that impact-induced volatile release from dry lakebeds has periodically occurred throughout Martian history. The vaporization of halite deposits might have enhanced the production of perchlorates, which are found globally on Mars. The water loss from gypsum possibly explains the coexisting types of Ca-sulfates found in Gale Crater.

description: MHD waves are ubiquitous in the solar corona where the highly structured magnetic fields provide efficient wave guides for their propagation. While MHD waves have been observed originating from lower layers of the solar atmosphere, recent studies have shown that some can be generated in-situ by the collision of dense counter propagating flows. In this theoretical study, we analyse the mechanism that triggers the propagation of kink and sausage modes in the solar corona, following the collision of counter-propagating flows and how the properties of the flows affect the properties of the generated waves. In order to study in detail such a mechanism we run a series of ideal 2D and 3D MHD simulations where we vary the properties of the counter-propagating flows and by means of a simple technique to estimate the amplitudes of the kink and sausage modes, we investigate their role on the generation and propagation of the MHD waves. We find that the amplitude of the waves is largely dependent on the kinetic energy of the flows and that the onset of kink or sausage modes depends on the asymmetries between the colliding blobs. Moreover, the initial wavelength of the MHD waves is associated with the magnetic configuration resulting from the collision of the flows. We also find that genuine 3D systems respond with smaller wave amplitudes. In this study, we present a parameter space description of the mechanism that leads to the generation of MHD waves from the collision of flows in the corona. Future observations of these waves can be used to understand the properties of the plasma and magnetic field of the solar corona.

description: The kinematical foundations of Schwinger's algebra of selective measurements were discussed in a previous paper (arXiv:1905.12274) and, as a consequence of this, a new picture of quantum mechanics based on groupoids was proposed. In this paper, the dynamical aspects of the theory are analysed. For that, the algebra generated by the observables, as well as the notion of state, are dicussed, and the structure of the transition functions, that plays an instrumental role in Schwinger's picture, is elucidated. A Hamiltonian picture of dynamical evolution emerges naturally, and the formalism offers a simple way to discuss the quantum-to-classical transition. Some basic examples, the qubit and the harmonic oscillator, are examined, and the relation with the standard Dirac-Schrödinger and Born-Jordan-Heisenberg pictures is discussed.

description: Momentum-conserving quasiparticle collisions in two-dimensional Fermi gases give rise to a large family of exceptionally long-lived excitation modes. The lifetimes of these modes exceed by a factor $(T_F/T)^2\gg 1$ the conventional Landau Fermi-liquid lifetimes $τ\sim T_F/T^2$. The long-lived modes have a distinct angular structure, taking the form of $\cos mθ$ and $\sin mθ$ with odd $m$ values for a circular Fermi surface, with relaxation rate dependence on $m$ of the form $m^4\log m$, valid at not-too-large $m$. In contrast, the even-$m$ harmonics feature conventional lifetimes with a weak $m$ dependence. The long-time dynamics, governed by the long-lived modes, takes the form of angular (super)diffusion over the Fermi surface. Altogether, this leads to unusual long-time memory effects, defining an intriguing transport regime that lies between the conventional ballistic and hydrodynamic regimes.

Systematic parameterization of heat-assisted magnetic recording switching probabilities and the consequences for the resulting SNR

description: The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a bit series written with heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) on granular media depends on a large number of different parameters. The choice of material properties is essential for the obtained switching probabilities of single grains and therefore for the written bits' quality in terms of SNR. Studies where the effects of different material compositions on transition jitter and the switching probability are evaluated were done, but it is not obvious, how significant those improvements will finally change the received SNR. To investigate that influence, we developed an analytical model of the switching probability phase diagram, which contains independent parameters for, inter alia, transition width, switching probability and curvature. Different values lead to corresponding bit patterns on granular media, where a reader model detects the resulting signal, which is finally converted to a parameter dependent SNR value. For grain diameters between 4 and 8nm, we show an increase of ~10dB for bit lengths between 4 and 12nm, an increase of ~9dB for maximum switching probabilities between 0.64 and 1.00, a decrease of ~5dB for down-track-jitter parameters between 0 and 4nm and an increase of ~1dB for reduced bit curvature. Those results are furthermore compared to the theoretical formulas for the SNR. We obtain a good agreement, even though we show slight deviations.

The 4-loop beta-function in the 2D Non-Abelian Thirring model, and comparison with its conjectured "exact" form

description: Recently, B. Gerganov, A. LeClair and M. Moriconi [Phys. Rev. Lett. 86 (2001) 4753] have proposed an "exact" (all orders) beta-function for 2-dimensional conformal field theories with Kac-Moody current-algebra symmetry at any level k, based on a Lie group G, which are perturbed by a current-current interaction. This theory is also known as the Non-Abelian Thirring model. We check this conjecture with an explicit calculation of the beta-function to 4-loop order, for the classical groups G= SU(N), SO(N) and SP(N). We find a contribution at 4-loop order, proportional to a higher-order group-theoretical invariant, which is incompatible with the proposed beta-function in all possible regularization schemes.
