LLE Review, Volume 115 113 Introduction The OMEGA EP chirped-pulse–amplification system at LLE requires two 1.5-m large-aperture grating compressors to achieve high-energy petawatt capability.1 The current state-ofthe-art multilayer dielectric (MLD) diffraction gratings cannot meet this size requirement.2 Several institutes have explored the possibility of tiling gratings.3–6 Kessler and Cotel ...

Since the discovery of a link between the malfunction of post-replicative mismatch correction and hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer, the study of this complex repair pathway has received a great deal of attention. Our understanding of the mammalian system was facilitated by conservation of the main protagonists of this process from microbes to humans. Thus, biochemical experiments carried o...

The Diagnostic Development Group at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics has endeavored to build a stand-alone, remotely operated streak camera with comprehensive autofocus and self-calibration capability. Designated as the Rochester Optical Streak System (ROSS), it is a generic streak camera platform, capable of accepting a variety of streak tubes. The system performance is limited by the insta...

We investigate the statistical properties of local Lyapunov exponents which characterize magnon localization in the one-dimensional Heisenberg-Mattis spin glass HMSG at zero temperature by means of a connection to a suitable version of the Fokker-Planck FP equation. We consider the local Lyapunov exponents LLEs , in particular, the case of instantaneous LLE. We establish a connection between th...

After the 2011 accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, nursing-home residents and staff were evacuated voluntarily from damaged areas to avoid radiation exposure. Unfortunately, the evacuation resulted in increased mortalities among nursing home residents. We assessed the risk trade-off between evacuation and radiation for 191 residents and 184 staff at three nursing homes by usi...
