New designed helical resonator to improve measurement accuracy of magic radio frequency

Based upon the new designed helical resonator, the resonant radio frequency (RF) for trapping ions can be consecutively adjusted in a large range (about 12 MHz to 29 MHz) with high Q-factors (above 300). We analyze the helical resonator with a lumped element circuit model and find that the theoretical results fit well with the experimental data. With our resonator system, the resonant frequency near magic RF frequency (where the scalar Stark shift and the second-order Doppler shift due to excess micromotion cancel each other) can be continuously changed at kHz level. For ⁸⁸Sr⁺ ion, compared to earlier results, the measurement accuracy of magic RF frequency can be improved by an order of magnitude upon rough calculation, and therefore the net micromotion frequency shifts can be further reduced. Also, the differential static scalar polarizability Δα₀ of clock transition can be experimentally measured more accurately.     

用于磁共振图像灰度校正的CLIC改进模型

针对磁共振图像中存在的灰度不均匀问题,该文在灰度校正的连贯局部灰度聚类（coherent local intensityclustering,CLIC）模型的基础上,提出一种新的灰度校正算法．该算法通过引入图像边缘信息来更快寻找到组织边界,在CLIC模型中采用较大的高斯窗函数以保证偏场的光滑性,并结合分裂布雷格曼迭代来加速算法．将改进后的算法用于处理模拟和真实的磁共振图像,实验结果表明,使用该算法能够获得比使用CLIC模型更好的效果．
