Particle acceleration in the presence of weak turbulence at an X-type neutral point [PDF]
We simulate the likely noisy situation near a reconnection region by superposing many 2D linear reconnection eigenmodes. The superposition of modes on the steady state X-type magnetic field creates multiple X- and O-type neutral points close to the ...

Latest results on Jovian disk X-rays from XMM-Newton [PDF]
We present the results of a spectral study of the soft X-ray emission (0.2–2.5 keV) from low-latitude (‘disk’) regions of Jupiter. The data were obtained during two observing campaigns with XMM-Newton in April and November 2003.

Investigation of gamma radiation shielding capability of two clay materials
The gamma radiation shielding capability (GRSC) of two clay-materials (Ball clay and Kaolin)of Southwestern Nigeria (7.49°N, 4.55°E) have been investigated by determine theoretically and experimentally the mass attenuation coefficient, μ/ρ (cm2g−1) of ...

STRAS: a new high-time-resolution aerosol sampler for particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) analysis [PDF]
The joint use of hourly resolution sampling and analyses with accelerated ion beams such as with the particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) technique has allowed the measurement of hourly temporal patterns of particulate matter (PM) composition at many ...

Combination of particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) spectrometry and proton-induced gamma-ray emission (PIGE) spectrometry for analysis of azure color in tile [PDF]
Ion beam analysis (IBA) has been widely used for fast, sensitive, multi-elemental and nondestructive analysis without any sampling, especially for the pigment analysis.

Particle-in-cell simulation of x-ray wakefield acceleration and betatron radiation in nanotubes
Though wakefield acceleration in crystal channels has been previously proposed, x-ray wakefield acceleration has only recently become a realistic possibility since the invention of the single-cycled optical laser compression technique. We investigate the

Demonstration of full-scale spatiotemporal diagnostics of solid-density plasmas driven by an ultra-short relativistic laser pulse using an X-ray free-electron laser [PDF]
Understanding the complex plasma dynamics in ultra-intense relativistic laser–solid interactions is of fundamental importance for applications of laser–plasma-based particle accelerators, the creation of high-energy-density matter, understanding ...
