We present detailed beam dynamic simulations in a compact X band accelerator. The accelerator must be capable of delivering an electron beam of 0.5 MW peak at 6 MeV, in order ot produce an X ray dose of 10 Gy/mn at 80 cm for medical applications. The use of a PARMELA like code (DYPAL [1]) allowed us to investigate radial and longitudinal beam dynamics. Important aspects of the calculation were ...

A supercontinuum bottle beam was successfully produced by focusing a supercontinuum laser beam after passing through an axicon. The supercontinuum radiation was generated from a microstructured fiber pumped by a self-kerr-lens mode-locked femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser. The cross-section intensity distributions of the generated bottle were recorded by a beam profiler. Using the line filters to s...

Acoustical and optical non-diffracting beams are potentially useful for manipulating particles and larger objects. An extended optical theorem for a non-diffracting beam was given recently in the context of acoustics. The theorem relates the extinction by an object to the scattering at the forward direction of the beam's plane wave components. Here we use this theorem to examine the extinction ...

With the increasing use of stainless steel elements in construction, need for comprehensive rules to enable their efficient structural design is clear. To date, fire behaviour I-section beam–columns has been subject relatively little research. In particular, there an absence experimental data. address this gap knowledge, full-scale anisothermal tests on six grade 1.4301 austenitic have carried ...

We discuss the dynamics of of a photoinjector beam in a hybrid traveling wavestanding wave photoinjector. With the field profile deduced from electromagnetic simulations, it is seen that the acceleration program induces strong velocity bunching. The beam dynamics in this scenario are explored using UCLA PARMELA. With a solenoid field overlaid on the TW section one may control emittance oscillat...

We consider sharp focusing of a linearly polarized light beam. Using the Richards-Wolf formalism, we show that before and after focal plane there are cross-section regions in which polarization is circular (elliptical). When passing through plane, direction rotation vector reversed. If focus left-hand at definite region beam cross-section, then exactly becomes linear this region, becoming right...
