Damage of the normal tissue is a serious concenrn in cancer treatment. Hyperthermia by laserhas been considered as a safe cancer treatments methods with lower harmful effects on normaltissues. Using nanoparticles in cancer treatment has improved laser therapy, which is based ona selective cell targeting method to localize cell damages. Metallic nanoparticles such as gold,silver, and copper have...

In heavy ion inertial fusion (HIF), the intense heavyion beam (HIB) is one of the influential candidates as the energy driver, and the physics of space-charge-dominated beams is crucial in the HIF and High Energy Density Physics studies. Required parameter values of HIB are several GeV particle energy, ∼100 kA total current, and ∼10 ns short pulse duration, and the beam parameters are far from ...

Aerodynamic lens inlets have revolutionized aerosol mass spectrometry by allowing the introduction of a very narrow particle beam into a vacuum chamber for subsequent analysis. The real-time measurement of particle beam width after an aerodynamic lens is of interest for two reasons: (1) it allows a correction to be made to the measured particle concentration if the beam is so broad, due to poor...

Test particle motion is analyzed for a matched intense charged-particle beam in a periodic focusing solenoidal magnetic field to assess the effects of beam intensity on inducing chaotic particle motion and halo formation.

We demonstrate the transfer of orbital angular momentum from a light beam to a trapped low-index particle. The particle is trapped in a dark annular region of a high-order Bessel beam and rotates around the beam axis due to scattering from the helical wave fronts of the light beam. A general theoretical geometrical optics model is developed that, applied to our specific situation, corroborates ...

Properties of the disrupted NLC beam at the Interaction Point (IP) and particle loss in the extraction line are analyzed as a function of beam-to-beam position and angular offset at IP. The simulations show that disruption and beam loss maximize when the vertical beam separation at IP is about 20 times the rms vertical beam size. The horizontal offset does not increase the disruption and the be...

Crack identification is a very important issue in mechanical systems, because it is a damage that if develops may cause catastrophic failure. In the first part of this research, modal analysis of a multi-cracked variable cross-section beam is done using finite element method. Then, the obtained results are validated usingthe results of experimental modal analysis tests. In the next part, a nove...

Particle beam therapy has been rapidly developed in these several decades. Proton and carbon ion beams are most frequently used in particle beam therapy. Proton and carbon ion beam radiotherapy have physical and biological advantage to the conventional photon radiotherapy. Cancers of the skull base, nasal cavity, and paranasal sinus are rare; however these diseases can receive the benefits of p...
