封面故事

正等离子体尾波加速可简单用"光速冲浪"来形容:当超短超强激光或电子束在等离子体中传播时,会产生类似船划过水面的尾迹,即尾波,而在尾波中被加速的粒子就像冲浪者一样获得能量。这种尾波结构具有超出传统加速器千倍的加速强度,因而可以在很短的距离内获得极高的能量。2014年11月6日,Nature杂志以封面形式系统描述了美国SLAC实验室大型装置FACET上高效率尾波加速的实验结果,并以"Full     

锐真空-等离子体边界倾角对激光尾波场加速中电子注入的影响

超短超强激光脉冲在气体等离子体中激发的尾波场加速在过去40年里有了长足的发展,人们已经在厘米加速距离内获得了数GeV的准单能电子加速,激光尾波加速的最高电子能量已经达到8 GeV.为了进一步提升加速电子束的稳定性和品质,多种电子注入方式先后被提出.本文研究了基于锐真空-等离子体边界面的密度跃变注入,着重讨论了不同角度的倾斜边界面对注入电子品质的影响.二维粒子模拟研究表明,与倾角为0°的垂直边界面相比,在合适的倾斜边界角下,第二个尾波空泡内产生的注入电量可以有近三倍的提升,同时偏振方向与入射面平行的驱动激光可以增加第一个空泡内注入电子的电量.根据不同激光入射角度时尾波场中电子自注入的起始位置差异,分析了电子电量与横向振荡增强的原因.这些研究有利于提升基于Betatron运动的尾波场辐射及其应用.

高等离子体密度区域的光子加速现象（英文）

我们测量了激光尾波场加速实验的透射光谱.与之前实验所不同的是,我们所采用的等离子体密度偏高.透射光谱同样呈现出低密度等离子体中光子加速现象的的两个明显特征,光谱加宽和频谱分裂.为了解释该现象,我们利用粒子模拟程序作了模拟计算,计算结果同样证实了高密度等离子体中只要有尾波场激发,同样能产生光子加速现象.利用该现象,为我们优化激光尾波场加速提供了一种新的方法.

尾波场与相对论效应对激光脉冲自相位调制及频移影响的比较研究

对共振和非共振情形下尾波场效应与相对论效应对强激光脉冲在稀薄等离子体中传输的影响 作了详细比较.尾波场效应导致脉冲自相位调制的不对称性，其大小与初始脉冲形状和脉宽 大小有关.在长脉冲极限下，尾波场效应远小于相对论效应，从而可以忽略；在短脉冲极限 下，尾波场效应可以抵消相对论效应.在共振情况下，尾波场效应导致脉冲内大部分光子减 速. 关键词： 脉冲传输 等离子体 相对论效应 尾波场效应 自相位调制

基于激光等离子体尾波解析模型,分析了毛细管中激光与等离子体相互作用,数值计算了尾波中基本物理量。计算结果表明:毛细管等离子体尾波幅度与毛细管半径有关,在较小的毛细管中尾波幅度更大。在相同的激光与等离子体参数情况下,与无界等离子体尾波相比较,毛细管等离子体尾波中电子空泡纵向尺度、电场强度峰值、角向自生磁场强度峰值提高了60%,这些特征都表明毛细管等离子体尾波更有利于电子加速。     

Time domain finite volume method for the transient response and natural characteristics of structural-acoustic coupling in an enclosed cavity

A time domain finite volume method（TDFVM）based on wave theory is developed to analyze the transient response and natural characteristics of structural-acoustic coupling problems in an enclosed cavity.In the present method,the elastic dynamic equations and acoustic equation in heterogeneous medium are solved in solid domains and fluid domains respectively.The structural-acoustic coupling is implemented according to the continuity condition of the particle velocity along the normal direction and the normal traction equilibrium condition on the interface.Several numerical examples are presented to validate the effectiveness and accuracy of the present TDFVM.Then the effects of water depth on the acoustic and vibration characteristics and the natural characteristics of a structural-acoustic coupling system are analyzed.The numerical results show that the increase of water depth leads to a stronger coupling between the water and structure and the decrease of natural frequencies of coupling system,The computational cost and memory of this method are small and it can be applicable to structural-acoustic coupling problems in the heterogeneous fluid.     

Sound scattering from partially water-filled elastic spherical shell with an internal elastic plate

According to the equation of motion in the elastic medium and integral equation of target scattering, the sound scattering from the partially water-filled elastic spherical shells with and without an inner plate is studied using the finite element and boundary element method, and the scattering normalized form functions of the shell filled with different volume of water are computed and the mechanism of resonance scattering is analyzed. The results show that the resonance of the shell with partially water-filled and without the plate is mainly related to the volume of water, and the resonance is produced by inner water and the spherical shell. The resonance characteristics of partially water-filled elastic shell with the plate are similar to that of empty structured elastic spherical shell, and the sound field in inner water is weaker which indicates the main resonance characteristics are decided by spherical shell and the plate. In addition, the scattering characteristics of spherical shell with plate and one side full water-filled are greatly different from the partially water-filled ones.     

Power ultrasound in the meat industry (freezing,cooking and fermentation): Mechanisms,advances and challenges

High intensity ultrasound (HIUS) has a wide range of applications in different sectors of food processing. It is a promising and emerging technology demonstrating the potential to promote food processes without or at least damage to the quality of products. Among the processes of the meat industry, freezing, thawing, cooking and fermentation are very sensitive and important, because they have significant effects on product quality and are also very energy and time consuming. This review paper provides an interpretation of high intensity ultrasound (HIUS) applications, a summary of recent outstanding published research and an overview of the freezing/thawing, cooking/frying and fermentation processes in meat and its products assisted by HIUS. The effects, benefits and drawbacks as well as the challenges ahead in the commercialization of this technology in the meat industry are studied. The research results confirmed that the use of HIUS in the meat freezing/thawing, cooking/frying and fermentation in combination with the corresponding processing methods demonstrates a great potential to promote the process, improve the general quality of the final product and reduce the time and energy required. However, many issues remain that require further research to address these challenges. These challenges and subsequent research that is useful for developing and increasing the efficiency of this technology have been reviewed. After the literature review, it is concluded that HIUS may be a useful technology for meat processing because of its significant effects on the quality factors and related process variables that leads to the preservation of the initial nutritional and sensory properties of meat and its products. Of course, research must be continued to eliminate the disadvantages or minimize the undesirable effects of this technology on the final product and to remove barriers to commercialization and optimization of this method.     

Temperature Sensitivity Control and Mechanical Stress Effect of Boron-Doped Long-Period Fiber Gratings

We will present in this work the quantitative analysis of the relationship between the doping concentrations of GeO 2 and B 2 O 3 in the core and cladding regions and the temperature sensitivity of the resonance wavelength shift in long-period fiber gratings (LPFGs). Based on this analysis, the temperature sensitivity was suppressed and enhanced to 0.002 nm/°C and 0.28 nm/°C, respectively. We will also discuss the effect of the residual mechanical stress on the optical and mechanical properties of LPFGs. In particular, we will present the measurement results of the dependence of the refractive index change and mechanical strength on the residual mechanical stress in the boron-doped fibers with depressed clad and matched clad.     

Experimental study on SC RF cavities by using China large grain niobium for ILC

Large grain niobium has the potential of simplifying the production sequence and consequently reducing the cost of the superconducting RF cavities for ILC.To investigate the feasibility of fabrication and the possibility to achieve high gradient by large grain cavities,two 1.3 GHz cavities were made of China large grain niobium and a series of vertical tests were carried out following several different surfaces treatment procedures.Two cavities have both reached the high gradient of more than 43 MV/m repeatedly and the maximum accelerating field of 47.9 MV/m has been achieved by China large grain niobium.This paper introduces the features of the fabrication and surface treatments on the large grain cavities and presents the preliminary results of the research.     

2D-Mueller-matrix tomography of optically anisotropic polycrystalline networks of biological tissues histological sections

A new technique of Mueller-matrix mapping of the birefringent structure of biological preparations of human organs tissues is suggested. The algorithms of reconstruction of average values and magnitude of fluctuations of the phase (birefringence) and amplitude (dichroism) of optically anisotropic structure of myocardium and connective tissue component of the vaginal wall histological section are proposed. The magnitudes and ranges of changes in the statistical moments of the 1st-4th order that characterize the distribution of average values and magnitude of fluctuations of birefringence and dichroism of the myocardium and connective tissue of the vaginal tissues histological sections were determined. Joint studies of distributions of the characteristics of phase and amplitude of the anisotropy of myocardium and connective tissue component of the vaginal wall tissues of different states were performed. The cases of various necrotic changes in the myocardium and pathological conditions of the vagina wall (prolapse of the genitals) are examined. Balanced accuracy of the method of Mueller-matrix polarization-phase and diffuse tomography of optically anisotropic polycrystalline networks in the differentiation of necrotic and pathological changes in human organs is determined.     

Ultrasonic evaluation of the physical and mechanical properties of granites

Masonry is the oldest building material that survived until today, being used all over the world and being present in the most impressive historical structures as an evidence of spirit of enterprise of ancient cultures. Conservation, rehabilitation and strengthening of the built heritage and protection of human lives are clear demands of modern societies. In this process, the use of nondestructive methods has become much common in the diagnosis of structural integrity of masonry elements.With respect to the evaluation of the stone condition, the ultrasonic pulse velocity is a simple and economical tool. Thus, the central issue of the present paper concerns the evaluation of the suitability of the ultrasonic pulse velocity method for describing the mechanical and physical properties of granites (range size between 0.1-4.0 mm and 0.3-16.5 mm) and for the assessment of its weathering state. The mechanical properties encompass the compressive and tensile strength and modulus of elasticity, and the physical properties include the density and porosity. For this purpose, measurements of the longitudinal ultrasonic pulse velocity with distinct natural frequency of the transducers were carried out on specimens with different size and shape. A discussion of the factors that induce variations on the ultrasonic velocity is also provided.Additionally, statistical correlations between ultrasonic pulse velocity and mechanical and physical properties of granites are presented and discussed. The major output of the work is the confirmation that ultrasonic pulse velocity can be effectively used as a simple and economical nondestructive method for a preliminary prediction of mechanical and physical properties, as well as a tool for the assessment of the weathering changes of granites that occur during the serviceable life. This is of much interest due to the usual difficulties in removing specimens for mechanical characterization.

橄榄油的聚集荧光猝灭及吸收光谱特性的研究

素有“液体黄金”之称的橄榄油已成为健康食用油的代名词,不仅身价陡增,而且在非产地市场也已成为一种畅销油。在橄榄油检测技术中光谱法与其他技术相比具有快速、无损、无样品处理等优势而备受关注,而不同的光谱检测方法在检测的物质成分上各有侧重,例如红外光谱法侧重于脂肪酸含量的检测、拉曼光谱法侧重于分子的检测、荧光光谱法侧重于光敏物质的检测以及吸收光谱法侧重于光敏物质和不饱和脂肪酸的检测等。荧光及吸收光谱对光敏物质反应极其灵敏,而橄榄油富含叶绿素等光敏物质,因此荧光及吸收光谱成为一种鉴别橄榄油的有效技术手段。叶绿素是一种含有环卟啉结构的有机分子,该类分子结构具有吸光特性,且不同的叶绿素吸收光谱各异,其中绿色植物的叶绿素a含量最多。为深入研究叶绿素的吸收光谱及荧光特性在橄榄油鉴别中的应用,将特级初榨橄榄油中掺入不同比例的玉米油,已达到间接调控橄榄油中叶绿素含量的目的,测量不同掺伪比例橄榄油的荧光及吸收光谱并研究与叶绿素浓度的相关性,以此来研究叶绿素浓度与掺伪量对橄榄油吸收光谱及荧光特性的影响。取10份同批次的特级初榨橄榄油,将其中9份按照等比例稀释,并对10份样品按照掺伪量依次排序;依次采集这10份样品的荧光及吸收光谱,比较叶绿素浓度与掺伪量的相关性及对这两种光谱技术在橄榄油鉴别中的影响。随着叶绿素浓度的上升,荧光强度由弱变强,并在某一时刻后会出现荧光强度急剧减弱的现象,即聚集荧光猝灭。这种现象主要是由于叶绿素的环卟啉分子结构引起的分子间π-π作用,使未被激发的低能分子与高能分子堆叠在一起,能量的辐射跃迁（荧光）也转变为分子间的能量转移（热能交换）。对于吸收光谱,随着叶绿素浓度的上升,吸收光谱的强度也逐渐增强。橄榄油中叶绿素吸收的能量主要去向包括镁电子辐射跃迁产生荧光以及分子间热能交换两部分,而橄榄油的吸收光谱并未出现类似于聚集荧光猝灭的现象,且吸收光谱强度与掺伪浓度间存在近似线性相关的关系。结果表明：当聚集荧光猝灭出现时,叶绿素吸收的能量仍然与浓度呈线性相关,此时高、低能分子堆叠引起的热能交换效率提高。
