Design of a multi-channel photonic crystal dielectric laser accelerator

Kavli Affiliate: Robert L. Byer | First 5 Authors: Zhexin Zhao, Dylan S. Black, R. Joel England, Tyler W. Hughes, Yu Miao | Summary: To be useful for most scientific and medical applications, compact particle accelerators will require much higher average current than enabled by current architectures. For this purpose, we propose a photonic crystal […]

Design of a multi-channel photonic crystal dielectric laser accelerator

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Byer | Summary:To be useful for most scientific and medical applications, compact particle accelerators will require much higher average current than enabled by current architectures. For this purpose, we propose a photonic crystal architecture for a dielectric laser accelerator, referred to as a multi-input multi-output silicon accelerator (MIMOSA), that enables simultaneous acceleration […]

User-in-the-loop Adaptive Intent Detection for Instructable Digital Assistant

Kavli Affiliate: Peter Ford | Summary:People are becoming increasingly comfortable using Digital Assistants (DAs) to interact with services or connected objects. However, for non-programming users, the available possibilities for customizing their DA are limited and do not include the possibility of teaching the assistant new tasks. To make the most of the potential of DAs, […]

Modular Parametrization as Polyakov Path Integral: Cases with CM Elliptic Curves as Target Spaces

Kavli Affiliate: Taizan Watari | Summary:For an elliptic curve E over an abelian extension k/K with CM by K of Shimura type, the L-functions of its [k:K] Galois representations are Mellin transforms of Hecke theta functions; a modular parametrization (surjective map) from a modular curve to E pulls back the 1-forms on E to give […]

Spectral analysis on standard locally homogeneous spaces

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiyuki Kobayashi | Summary:Let $X=G/H$ be a reductive homogeneous space with $H$ noncompact, endowed with a $G$-invariant pseudo-Riemannian structure. Let $L$ be a reductive subgroup of $G$ acting properly on $X$ and $Γ$ a torsion-free discrete subgroup of $L$. Under the assumption that the complexification $X_mathbb C$ is $L_mathbb C$-spherical, we prove an […]

Optimizing neutron moderators for a spallation-driven ultracold-neutron source at TRIUMF

Kavli Affiliate: A. C. Davis | Summary:We report on our efforts to optimize the geometry of neutron moderators and converters for the TRIUMF UltraCold Advanced Neutron (TUCAN) source using MCNP simulations. It will use an existing spallation neutron source driven by a 19.3 kW proton beam delivered by TRIUMF’s 520 MeV cyclotron. Spallation neutrons will […]

Mitigating the impact of fiber assignment on clustering measurements from deep galaxy redshift surveys

Kavli Affiliate: Naoyuki Tamura | Summary:We examine the impact of fiber assignment on clustering measurements from fiber-fed spectroscopic galaxy surveys. We identify new effects which were absent in previous, relatively shallow galaxy surveys such as Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey . Specifically, we consider deep surveys covering a wide redshift range from z=0.6 to z=2.4, as […]

Measurement of Beam-Correlated Background Neutrons from the Fermilab Booster Neutrino Beam in ANNIE Phase-I

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vagins | First 5 Authors: Asheley R. Back, John F. Beacom, Tomaso Boschi, Daniel Carber, Erika Catano-Mur | Summary: The Accelerator Neutrino Neutron Interaction Experiment (ANNIE) aims to make a unique measurement of neutron yield from neutrino-nucleus interactions and to perform R&D for the next generation of water-based neutrino detectors. In this […]
