General formalism for describing dynamics of modulated beams along linear beamlines is developed. We describe modulated beams with spectral distribution function which represents Fourier transform of the conventional beam distribution function in the 6-dimensional phase space. The introduced spectral distribution function is localized in some region of the spectral domain for nearly monochromatic modulations. It can be characterized with a small number of typical parameters such as the lowest order moments of the spectral distribution. We study evolution of the modulated beams in linear beamlines and find that characteristic spectral parameters transform linearly. The developed approach significantly simplifies analysis of various schemes proposed for seeding X-ray free electron lasers. We use this approach to study several recently proposed schemes and find the bandwidth of the output bunching in each case.

Lattice dynamics in elemental modulated Sb ₂ Te ₃ films: Lattice dynamics in elemental modulated Sb ₂ Te ₃ films

Journal Article Bessas, D. ; Winkler, M. ; Sergueev, I. ; ... September 2015 - Physica Status Solidi. A, Applications and Materials Science

We investigate the crystallinity and the lattice dynamics in elemental modulated Sbinline imageTeinline image films microscopically using high energy synchrotron radiation diffraction combined with inline imageSb nuclear inelastic scattering. The correlation length is found to be finite but less than 100 . Moreover, the element specific density of phonon states is extracted. A comparison with the element specific density of phonon states in bulk Sbinline imageTeinline image confirms that the main features in the density of phonon states arise from the layered structure. The average speed of sound at inline image inline image, is almost the same compared to bulkmore »« less

Spatially modulated magnetic structure of EuS due to the tetragonal domain structure of ${SrTiO}_{3}$

Journal Article Rosenberg, Aaron J. ; Katmis, Ferhat ; Kirtley, John R. ; ... December 2017 - Physical Review Materials

The combination of ferromagnets with topological superconductors or insulators allows for new phases of matter that support excitations such as chiral edge modes and Majorana fermions. EuS, a wide-bandgap ferromagnetic insulator with a Curie temperature around 16K, and SrTiO ₃ (STO), an important substrate for engineering heterostructures, may support these phases. We present scanning superconducting quantum interference device measurements of EuS grown epitaxially on STO that reveal micron-scale variations in ferromagnetism and paramagnetism. These variations are oriented along the STO crystal axes and only change their configuration upon thermal cycling above the STO cubic-to-tetragonal structural transition temperature at 105 K,more »« less
Extending laser plasma accelerators into the mid-IR spectral domain with a next-generation ultra-fast CO ₂ laser

Journal Article Pogorelsky, I. V. ; Babzien, M. ; Ben-Zvi, I. ; ... January 2016 - Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion

Here we discuss how expanding the scope of relativistic plasma research to wavelengths longer than λ/≈0.8₋1.1μm covered by conventional mode-locked solid-state lasers would offer attractive opportunities due to the quadratic scaling of the ponderomotive electron energy and critical plasma density with λ. Answering this quest, a next-generation mid-IR laser project is being advanced at the BNL ATF as a part of the user facility upgrade. We discuss the technical approach to this conceptually new 100 TW, 100 fs, λ=9₋11 μm CO ₂ laser BESTIA (Brookhaven Experimental Supra-Terawatt Infrared at ATF) that encompasses several innovations applied for the first time tomore »« less

A spectral analysis of the domain decomposed Monte Carlo method for linear systems

Journal Article Slattery, Stuart R. ; Evans, Thomas M. ; Wilson, Paul P. H. September 2015 - Nuclear Engineering and Design

The domain decomposed behavior of the adjoint Neumann-Ulam Monte Carlo method for solving linear systems is analyzed using the spectral properties of the linear oper- ator. Relationships for the average length of the adjoint random walks, a measure of convergence speed and serial performance, are made with respect to the eigenvalues of the linear operator. In addition, relationships for the effective optical thickness of a domain in the decomposition are presented based on the spectral analysis and diffusion theory. Using the effective optical thickness, the Wigner rational approxi- mation and the mean chord approximation are applied to estimate the leakagemore »« less

Ponderomotive dynamics of waves in quasiperiodically modulated media

Journal Article Ruiz, D. E. ; Dodin, I. Y. March 2017 - Physical Review A

Similarly to how charged particles experience time-averaged ponderomotive forces in high-frequency fields, linear waves also experience time-averaged refraction in modulated media. We propose a covariant variational theory of this ponderomotive effect on waves for a general nondissipative linear medium. Using the Weyl calculus, our formulation accommodates waves with temporal and spatial period comparable to that of the modulation (provided that parametric resonances are avoided). This theory also shows that any wave is, in fact, a polarizable object that contributes to the linear dielectric tensor of the ambient medium. Furthermore, the dynamics of quantum particles is subsumed as a special case.more »« less
