Micro-Focusing of Broadband High-Order Harmonic Radiation by a Double Toroidal Mirror

Applied Sciences, 2017
We present an optical system based on two toroidal mirrors in a Wolter configuration to focus broadband extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation. Optimization of the focusing optics alignment is carried out with the aid of an XUV wavefront sensor.

Towards a power counting in nuclear energy–density–functional theories through a perturbative analysis

Physics Letters B, 2020
We illustrate a step towards the construction of a power counting in energy–density–functional (EDF) theories, by analyzing the equations of state (EOSs) of both symmetric and neutron matter.
