book description
The development of coherent radiation sources for wavelengths below Angstrom, that is, in the range of X-rays and gamma rays, is a challenging goal of modern physics. The availability of such sources will have many applications in basic science, technology, and medicine, and in particular could have a revolutionary impact on solid-state and nuclear physics and the life sciences. Today's most advanced lasers are capable of emitting electromagnetic radiation from infrared to ultraviolet, while free electron lasers (X-FEL) are now moving into the soft X-ray region. A progress, d. H. in the X-ray and/or gamma band, but it is not possible without new approaches and technologies. In this book, we present and discuss one such new approach, radiation formed in a crystal undulator, in which electromagnetic radiation is generated by a beam of ultrarelativistic particles passing through a periodically curved crystal structure. Under certain conditions, such a device can spontaneously emit intense monochromatic radiation and even achieve coherence from laser light sources. Readers are introduced to the underlying physical principles and become familiar with the theoretical, experimental, and technological advances that have been made over the past decade and a half in investigating the various characteristics of crystal undulators. This research builds on findings from many research areas, such as materials science, beam physics, radiation physics, solid state physics, and acoustics, to name a few. Consequently, the authors have made every effort to make the book as comprehensive as possible in this regard, in order to provide a useful introduction to this emerging field for a wide audience of researchers and scholars from diverse backgrounds. This new edition has been revised and expanded to reflect recent developments in the field.

New light sources beyond free electron lasers

Languages:em
Pages :214
book description
This book discusses the possibilities and prospects for the design and practical realization of novel light sources based on intense gamma-ray crystals that can be constructed by exposing oriented (linear, bent, and periodically bent) crystals to ultrarelativistic electron and positron beams. The book shows case studies such as tunable light sources based on periodically bent crystals that can be designed with state-of-the-art beam machines. A particular focus is on the analysis of gamma ray generation, since current technologies based on the movement of particles in the magnetic field are inefficient or unable to achieve the desired gamma ray intensities. The radiation intensity of crystal-based light sources is shown to be comparable to or even higher than that achievable in conventional synchrotrons and undulators, which, however, operate in a much lower photon energy range. By examining coherence effects, the intensity can be increased by orders of magnitude. The practical realization of these new light sources will lead to significant technological advances and societal impacts similar to those previously created by the development of X-ray lasers, synchrotrons, and free-electron lasers. Readers will learn the underlying fundamental physics and become familiar with the theoretical, experimental, and technological advances that have been made in the research of various resources in the study of crystal-based light sources over the past two decades. This research builds on findings from many research areas, such as materials science, beam physics, radiation physics, solid state physics, and acoustics, to name a few. The authors provide a useful introduction to this emerging field for a wide audience of researchers and scholars from diverse backgrounds, thus making the book as original as possible.

book description
The 22nd International Free Electron Laser Conference and 7th FEL Users Workshop was held August 13-18, 2000 at the Washington Duke Inn and Golf Club in Durham, North Carolina, USA. and the workshop were organized by the Free Electron Laser (FEL) Laboratory at Duke University. Traditionally, the delivery of the FEL award was announced at the banquet. The 2000 FEL Prize was awarded to three scientists who pushed the boundaries of high-power FELs: Steven Benson, Eisuke Minehara, and George Neill. The conference program consisted of traditional oral sessions on laser first, FEL theory, storage ring FEL, linac and high power FEL, longwave FEL, FEL SASE, accelerator and FEL physics and technology, and new developments and proposals. Two sessions on accelerators and FEL physics and technology reflected the emphasis on high quality accelerators and components for modern FEL. The breadth of applications was showcased in workshop lectures on materials processing, biomedical and surgical applications, physics and chemistry, and instruments and methods for FEL applications. A special oral session was dedicated to the status reports from FEL centers so that users could learn more about the possibilities of FELs. As usual, the oral sessions were complemented by poster sessions with in-depth discussions and communications. Physicists and FEL users had excellent opportunities for interaction during the event, which culminated in joint sessions. The year 2000 was very successful, laser tagged with two SASE and FEL shortwave storage ring and the first human operation using FEL, to name a few. The International Program Committee and session chairs were faced with the challenging and exciting problem of selecting invited and contributed papers for conferences and workshops from the stream of abstracts that mention new discoveries and ideas. These contributions determined the success of the conference. Scientists from 15 countries gave 70 conferences, presented 176 posters and submitted 146 articles, which are published in the annals of this congress.

book description
This book introduces readers to MesoBioNano (MBN) Explorer, a multipurpose software package designed to model molecular systems of different sizes and complexity. In addition, it has a specially designed set of tools and a multitasking interface, MBN Studio, which allows you to create input files, perform simulations and support the visualization and subsequent analysis of the obtained results. The book provides a systematic overview of the capabilities of this universal and powerful software package in the context of computational molecular science, and guides the reader through its applications in numerous research areas from chemical and biological physics to the science of materials, starting with nanosciences, up to the mesoscale MBN Explorer is particularly useful for calculating system energy, optimizing molecular structure, and exploring different facets of molecular and random-walk dynamics. The package allows the use of a wide variety of interatomic potentials and can be configured, for example, to select any subset of a molecular system as rigid fragments whenever a significant reduction in the number of dynamic degrees of freedom is required for computational purposes. With MBN Studio, users can easily build initial geometries for molecular, liquid, crystalline, gas, and hybrid systems, which serve as input for subsequent simulations of their physical and chemical properties with MBN Explorer. Despite its universality, the computational efficiency of MBN Explorer is comparable to that of other more specialized software packages, making it a viable multipurpose alternative for computational modeling of complex molecular systems. A series of detailed case studies, presented in the second part of this book, demonstrate the usefulness and efficiency of the MBN Explorer in the areas of clusters of atoms and nanoparticles, biomolecular systems, nanostructured materials, composites and hybrid systems, crystals, liquids, and gases, and in providing modeling support for new and emerging technologies. Last but not least, with the release of MBN Explorer 3rd Edition in Spring 2017, a free trial version will be available on the MBN Research Center website (mbnresearch.com).
