机器学习在储存环轨道校正中的应用研究

X射线同步辐射光源,是现代科学研究中最强大的工具之一。位于中国上海的上海光源,是一台能量为3.5 GeV的先进的第三代中能同步辐射光源。第三代同步辐射光源要提供高亮度、高稳定性的同步辐射来满足实验条件要求苛刻的前沿研究,因此对束流的轨道稳定性有很高的要求。为此,采用机器学习算法进行电子束轨道的控制和反馈。这种基于神经网络的轨道校正方法不依赖于具体的响应矩阵,建立非线性映射关系,并且还可以进行连续的在线再训练,对上海光源的轨道校正和提高束流轨道稳定性有重要意义。

惯性约束聚变软X射线在线标定系统概念设计

长期以来，惯性约束聚变（ICF）研究软X射线诊断科学仪器设备的元器件标定工作主要依赖同步辐射光源X射线辐射计量站进行。该类装置通常与用于开展ICF研究的大型激光装置分处两地，难以满足ICF研究软X射线元器件实时实地的标定应用需求。另外，由于同步辐射和ICF激光等离子体产生的X射线辐射特性存在较大差异，同步辐射计量站的标定结果事实上也不能完全反映元器件在ICF实验应用中的计量响应特性。本文首先介绍一种基于单光学元件的软X射线紧凑型无谐波光源单色化技术，以此为基础提出研制基于ICF激光等离子体X射线源的同源、同几何位形、双束比较校准的多能量通道光源单色化系统，用于ICF应用软X射线元器件的在线标定。新系统一方面可望满足ICF软X射线元器件实时实地的标定应用需求；另一方面，其提供的标定光束的技术特征将最大可能地接近ICF激光等离子体X射线辐射本身。配备相应的X射线二极管（XRD）和标准探测器之后，该系统将形成一套具有在线自校准功能的新型多通道δ能量响应软X射线能谱仪。

High‐resolution spectral characterization of two photon states via classical measurements

Quantum optics plays a central role in the study of fundamental concepts in quantum mechanics, and in the development of new technological applications. Typical experiments employ sources of photon pairs generated by parametric processes such as spontaneous parametric down‐conversion and spontaneous four‐wave‐mixing. The standard characterization of these sources relies on detecting the pairs themselves and thus requires single photon detectors, which limit both measurement speed and accuracy. Here it is shown that the two‐photon quantum state that would be generated by parametric fluorescence can be characterised with unprecedented spectral resolution by performing a classical experiment. This streamlined technique gives access to hitherto unexplored features of two‐photon states and has the potential to speed up design and testing of massively parallel integrated nonlinear sources by providing a fast and reliable quality control procedure. Additionally, it allows for the engineering of quantum light states at a significantly higher level of spectral detail, powering future quantum optical applications based on time‐energy photon correlations.     

Transverse standing waves in a cylindrical duct with noise sources distributed along two generating lines

Tests were carried out to detect the transverse standing waves in a cylindrical duct with 24 noise sources regularly distributed along two generating lines. Pressure mappings were done and it was found that phase and force optimization of the noise sources would increase the pressure levels at cut-off frequencies. A splitter baffle installed along a pressure nodal plane would destroy the resonance.     

Exact solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations with closed timelike curves

We examine two electrovac spacetimes, the Kerr-Newman solution and another due to Perjes, which represent single charged, rotating, magnetic objects. Both contain regions with closed timelike curves (CTC), but these regions would be covered by the sources in any physical realisation of the spacetimes, so the CTC would not be detectable. We then study a stationary solution referring to two charged, rotating, magnetic objects. In general there is a region of CTC between the objects no matter how far apart they are. In this case the region would not be covered by the sources, and CTC would be detectable in principle. This paper is dedicated to the memory of Zoltan Perjes.     

无线电引信双源辐照效应研究

Coherent spectral enhancement of carrier-envelope-phase stable continua with dual-gas high harmonic generation

Attosecond science is enabled by the ability to convert femtosecond near-infrared laser light into coherent harmonics in the extreme ultraviolet spectral range. While attosecond sources have been utilized in experiments that have not demanded high intensities, substantially higher photon flux would provide a natural link to the next significant experimental breakthrough. Numerical simulations of dual-gas high harmonic generation indicate that the output in the cutoff spectral region can be selectively enhanced without disturbing the single-atom gating mechanism. Here, we summarize the results of these simulations and present first experimental findings to support these predictions.     

第四代ECR离子源的主要概念(摘要)

To go beyond the present and planned third generation ECR ion sources operating at microwave frequencies between 20 and 30GHz to a fourth generation of sources operating above 50GHz offers new oppor- tunities and challenges.Based on the experimentally demonstrated frequency scaling,a doubling in operating frequency could provide more intense high charge state beams with higher charge states.The technical chal- lenges include the development of magnetic structures capable of producing 8T solenoid field and 4T sextupole fields,production and coupling of high power microwave power to heat the plasma,extraction of intense mul- tiple charge ion beams from a region of strong magnetic field and shielding of bremstrahlung from the hot electrons.In this paper,the status of high field superconducting magnets now under development for acceler- ator applications,gyrotrons for microwave power and other technical aspects that would be incorporated into a fourth generation ECR ion source are explored and applied to a conceptual design.     

Seasonal variations in fish δ13C and δ15N in two West African reservoirs,Sélingué and Manantali (Mali): Modifications of trophic links in relation to water level§

Most regions in the tropics undergo high seasonal precipitation that produces cyclic patterns of riverine discharge, resulting in periods characterized by low and high water levels. Many chemical and bio-logical factors are affected by this hydrologic seasonality, and it therefore appeared to be very likely that aquatic food webs would also differ during the low and high water periods. Available carbon sources for fish are thought to be less varied during low water periods, but flooding during high water periods could bring fish into contact with a greater abundance and diversity of food sources such as terrestrial plants or the biofilms that grow on submerged terrestrial plants. At low water levels, higher fish densities may lead to more piscivory and less omnivory when compared with the high water periods. Therefore, trophic links within the fish communities may then be modified by water level changes in tropical reservoirs. To address this prediction, we performed stable isotope analyses of the most common species in Sélingué and Manantali, two large reservoirs in Mali (West Africa). Allochthonous and littoral carbon sources were shown to support fish production to a significant extent, even during low water periods. However, the allochthonous or littoral carbon contributions that sustained the top-predators production were indeed greater during the high water periods as expected. The expected higher omnivory in the high water period might have shortened the food chain when compared with the low water period. Some carnivorous fish species were shown to feed at lower trophic levels during high water periods in both reservoirs, but this was not a general pattern. Flooding did not, therefore, necessarily result in a shorter food chain when water levels were high.     

An X-ray Free Electron Laser Driven by an Ultimate Storage Ring

There is a worldwide interest in developing so-called ultimate storage ring (USR) light sources having electron emittances near the X-ray diffraction limit that would provide spectral brightness one or two orders of magnitude higher than present-day, third-generation sources and very large coherent flux in the multi-keV photon energy range [1 Hettel, R. and Qin, Q. 2013. Report on the Workshop on Accelerator R&D for Ultimate Storage Rings, Oct. 30–Nov. 1, 2012, Beijing, China, SLAC-PUB-15379, February [Google Scholar]]. At the same time, there is a growing scientific interest in X-ray FEL sources that can provide a continuous train of evenly spaced, low peak power, coherent photon pulses at repetition rates of above 1 kHz, unlike the bursts of much higher frequency pulses that can be provided by linac-based FELs pulsed with repetition rates of order 100 Hz or less. These CW sources would enable dynamic imaging of materials undergoing transitions in millisecond or less time scales and would open up the development of new non-line spectroscopic techniques that could lead to a better understanding of electronic and nuclear dynamics in materials.

Directivity improvement in acoustical arrays

The theoretical and experimental disposition and feeding of the sources in an array with the aim of obtaining a cardioid directivity pattern in a wide frequency range is described. Considerable agreement between theoretical and experimental results was observed.Due to the inequalities of the sources, a total cancellation of the back radiation was not obtained, as would be expected from theory. The attenuation of the rear radiation is about 20 dB lower than the main lobe but even so presents a great advantage, especially at low frequencies.
