Large KrF amplifiers use electron beams to excite the laser gas. By necessity, the diode and laser cavity must be isolated by a mechanical barrier; an electron beam diode operates in vacuum, while the laser cavity may be filled with amagats of gas. Isolation is typically accomplished by a metal foil of low mass density which is mechanically supported by a structure having multiple open slots se...

We analyze a multiserver queue with a discrete autoregressive process of order 1 (DAR(1)) as an input. DAR(1) is a good mathematical model for VBR-coded teleconference traffic. Based on matrix analytic methods and the theory of Markov regenerative processes, we obtain the stationary distributions of the system size and the waiting time of an arbitrary packet. Numerical examples illustrate the q...

This paper extends the semiparametric eÆcient treatment of panel data models pursued by Park and Simar (1994) and Park, Sickles, and Simar (1998, 2003) to a dynamic panel setting. We develop a semiparametric eÆcient estimator under minimal assumptions when the panel model contains a lagged dependent variable. We apply this new estimator to analyze the structure of demand between city pairs for ...

We report on the ablation and fabrication of optical waveguide using allyl-diglycol CR39 polymer. Pulse nanosecond (ns) laser (248 nm KrF) and continuous wave (CW) (244 nm argon-ion) irradiation are performed to observe surface modification on the polymer and potentially utilize it for channel waveguide. The pulsed UV laser creates craters with different depth as fluence increases to quantify t...

Green-Schwarz action of Type IIB string on AdS3 × S is constructed via coset superspace approach. The construction relies exclusively on symplectically Majorana-Weyl spinor formalism, thus permitting it easier to prove κ-symmetry for on-shell Type IIB supergravity backgrounds. 1 Work supported in part by the U.S. Department of Energy under Grant No. DE-FG02-90-ER40542, KOSEF Interdisciplinary R...

The SIRIUS-P commercial reactor design produces 1000 MWe and is driven by 60 KrF laser beams. The chamber has an inner radius of 6.5 m and consists of a first wall fabricated from a carbon/carbon composite and a blanket made of SiC. The chamber is cooled by a flowing granular bed of solid ceramic material, TiO2 for the first wall and Li2O for the blanket. The overall tritium breeding ratio is 1...
