We analyse the stochastic background of gravitational radiation emitted by a cosmological population of core-collapse supernovae. The supernova rate as a function of redshift is deduced from an observation-based determination of the star formation rate density evolution. We then restrict our analysis to the range of progenitor masses leading to black hole collapse. In this case, the main featur...

A laser's intensity can be stabilized by negative feedback from a conventional photodetector. I propose extraction of sub-shot-noise light from the feedback loop at a beam splitter by illuminating the back side of the beam splitter with squeezed-state light.

This paper gives an overview of how to predict the intensity of the shot peening process using currently available technology. Methodology, tools, and software are also discussed. Real life examples are presented in the areas of optimization, troubleshooting, and process modeling.

We show that a frequency-resolved optical gating device using (1) a thick nonlinear crystal to replace the usual thin crystal and spectrometer and (2) a Fresnel biprism to replace the beam splitter and delay line yields a remarkably simple single-shot ultrashort-pulse intensity-and-phase measurement device with no sensitive alignment parameters and significantly greater sensitivity.

Abstract Line-intensity mapping observations will find fluctuations of integrated line emission are attenuated by varying degrees at small scales due to the width profiles. This attenuation may significantly impact estimates astrophysical or cosmological quantities derived from measurements. We consider a theoretical treatment effect broadening on both clustering and shot-noise components power...

I review the temporal/spectral data of accreting black hole sources paying most attention to the properties of the temporal variability such as photon energy dependent autoand cross-correlation functions, average shot profiles and hardness ratios, and the Fourier frequency dependent time/phase lags. These statistics characterize spectral changes at short time scales that are otherwise impossibl...

A method of single-shot imaging via aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy equipped with high angle annular dark-field detector (STEM-HAADF) has been applied to size-selected gold model catalysts (Au(25) and Au(39) ) on hydroxyapatite. Through quantitative intensity analysis, the size, in terms of number of atoms as well as 3D shape of the clusters are obtained.
