      <title>Fabrication and test of a 6-tesla-class high-temperature superconducting dipole magnet at 4.2 K</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4m432655</link>
      <description>Superconducting magnets enable energy-frontier accelerators by generating strong magnetic fields to steer and focus the particles. Although high-temperature superconductors such as REBa2Cu3Ox (rebco, RE = rare earth) hold a strong potential for generating a higher magnetic field than Nb-Ti and Nb3Sn, the associated magnet and conductor technology for accelerator applications is still in its infancy. The U.S. Magnet Development Program is developing rebco magnet technology in collaboration with industry. Here we report an experiment of making a dipole magnet called C3 using commercial high-temperature superconducting corc&lt;sup&gt;®&lt;/sup&gt; wires. The magnet, following a canted cos θ design, generated a dipole field of 5.99 T at 4.2 K in its clear aperture of 65 mm at 6.795 kA when a resistive voltage of 105 µV appeared across one of the coils in the magnet. The stored energy was 53 kJ at the peak field. The magnet showed no degradation in the current-carrying capability at 4.2 K after...</description>

      <title>Fabrication of 8-Strand Rutherford Cables Using Roped Strands Made from Ultrafine Wires</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8bd0f90m</link>
      <description>Conventional Rutherford cables are typically made from solid round wire. While multi-stage cables have been made elsewhere, the purpose was usually to achieve a higher strand count and therefore a higher current carrying capability. In this work, we attempt to use two-stage roped strands made from ultrafine wires to fabricate Rutherford cables. The ultimate goal of this work is to obtain a very flexible cable that can wind accelerator magnet coils with a very tight bend radius in both the “easy way” (along the broad face of the cable) and the “hard way” (along the edge of the cable) in the wind-and-react manner, or wind coils with a radius typically used today but in the react and-wind manner with a much reduced degradation in critical current. We report our experience fabricating such Rutherford cables at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and the initial findings from the analysis of the experimental cables made. We will discuss how the conventional wisdom and some rules...</description>

      <title>Exact Spin and Orbit Maps in a Uniform Longitudinal Magnetic and Electric Field</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7mv4n6v0</link>
      <description>In this note, we develop in closed form the dynamical $SO(3)$ spin map determined by the Thomas-BMT equation for a charged particle with general gyromagnetic ratio in a uniform longitudinal magnetic and electric field.  This field configuration provides an idealized model of uniform particle acceleration with transverse (solenoidal) confinement.  The spin map is expressed in a factorized Lie-algebraic (axis-angle) form, making it straightforward to determine the corresponding $SU(2)$ or quaternion representation.  To facilitate numerical implementation, the Lie generators are expressed as functions of the six phase space variables commonly used for charged particle transport in $s$-based tracking codes.  The dynamical evolution of these phase space variables is also described.  This  allows exact transport of both phase space and spin variables over long distances in such a field region, without the need for numerical integration.</description>

      <title>The Memory Scaling of Reverse-Mode Differentiation in Particle Accelerator Simulations with Space Charge</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/23c2k8dq</link>
      <description>The recent development of differentiable simulation codes for particle accelerators has enabled gradient-based workflows that promise finer control and more realistic modeling of accelerator facilities. However, when using reverse-mode automatic differentiation, the memory usage continuously increases during the simulation, and can potentially exceed the available hardware memory - especially when costly space charge computation is included. To study the memory requirements for differentiable simulations, we have implemented space charge in Cheetah, a PyTorch-based beam tracking code that supports reverse-mode differentiation. We find that the memory usage for reverse-mode differentiation grows linearly with the number of macroparticles and cells, and that it is proportional to the number of space charge kicks involved in the simulation. This general scaling can be used to evaluate whether a given differentiable simulation is feasible given hardware memory constraints.</description>

      <title>Mechanism and current balance of unipolar arcs and implications for vacuum arcs</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/08f2n9qz</link>
      <description>A unipolar arc is a form of an arc discharge that ignites and burns between the surface of a conducting, but floating, plasma-facing component and the plasma. Phenomenological similarities between unipolar arcs and vacuum arcs suggest that the spots are cathode spots, which, in the case of unipolar arcs, require a ring-like area around the spot that acts as an anode. All models of unipolar arcs seek to explain how a sufficiently high electron return current can be achieved. Building on elements of various existing models, it is shown that the combination of high density of expanding spot plasma and high electron temperature in the spot vicinity enables high return current. Taking the traveling double layer of an expanding plasma into account, it follows that the electron return current may be even larger than the net arc current in the case of the vacuum arc, while the ion current to the surface plays only a minor role. The similarity between vacuum arcs and unipolar arcs suggests...</description>

      <title>Bayesian Optimization of Laser-Wakefield Acceleration via Spectral Pulse Shaping</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5n225747</link>
      <description>In this paper, we investigate the effect of spectral pulse shaping of the laser driver on the performance of channel-guided, laser-plasma accelerators. The study was carried out with the assistance of Bayesian optimization using particle-in-cell simulations. We used a realistic plasma profile based on a novel optical-field-ionized channel technique with ionization injection and low, on-axis plasma densities to maximize the energy gain of the electron bunch trailing the laser. Spectral shaping allows us to modify the temporal profile of the laser driver while keeping the laser energy constant, affecting the acceleration and injection processes. In addition we consider how modifying the plasma channel parameters may affect the target outputs. Given the complexity and breadth of the parameter space in question, we used numerical optimization to identify high performers. In particular, we found laser profiles with additional spectral content that, when used with optimal plasma channel...</description>

      <title>Photon accelerator in magnetized electron-ion plasma</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/986744wh</link>
      <description>Abstract Strong magnetic fields and plasmas are intrinsically linked in both terrestrial laboratory experiments and in space phenomena. One of the most profound consequences of that is the change in relationship between the frequency and the wave number of electromagnetic waves propagating in plasma in the presence of such magnetic fields when compared to the case without these fields. Furthermore, magnetic fields alter electromagnetic wave interaction with relativistic plasma waves, resulting in different outcomes for particle and radiation generation. For a relativistic plasma wave-based photon acceleration this leads to an increased frequency gain and, thus, potentially to higher efficiency. The influence of a magnetic field leads to quantitative and qualitative change in the properties of photon acceleration, amplifying the increase in the electromagnetic wave frequency.</description>

      <title>Identifying predictive hematological biomarkers for radiation exposure by machine learning in mouse models</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8z12199k</link>
      <description>BackgroundPopulation-scale radiation exposure assessment during radiological emergencies is hindered by the slow and costly nature of current methods, creating a need for rapid, affordable screening tools. Radiation biodosimetry using peripheral blood counts is a promising approach, but estimating low-dose exposures and exposure at extended time points remains challenging, especially when accounting for inter-individual differences in radiation sensitivity.MethodsWe analyze complete blood count (CBC) profiles from a retrospective cohort of 1151 male and female BALB/cJ and C57BL/6 J mice exposed to total-body X-ray radiation at doses ranging from 0.05 to 4 Gy. CBCs are collected 1 to 150 days post exposure. We develop a predictive model of radiation exposure using a sparse representation learning strategy to identify the most informative CBC parameters. Model performance is evaluated through exhaustive cross-validation and validated in a double-blind prospective cohort of 431 animals....</description>

      <title>Fabrication of a Nb-Ti Superconducting Closed-Loop Coil for the Next-Generation 45 GHz ECR Ion Source MARS-D</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3jw844j1</link>
      <description>Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Sources (ECRISs) that utilize Nb-Ti superconducting coils for 28 GHz frequencies have been operating effectively for over twenty years. However, transitioning to higher frequencies demands stronger magnetic fields, and the conventional racetrack-and-solenoid ECRIS structures have reached their maximum capability with Nb-Ti. To address this, a Mixed Axial and Radial field System Demonstrator (MARS-D) is being developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). This system features an innovative Closed-Loop Coil (CLC) design that optimizes the use of the conductor fields, enabling the application of Nb-Ti in the next-generation 45 GHz ECRISs. The fabrication of the hexagonal CLC is particularly challenging due to its complex winding path and shape, the stiffness of the Nb-Ti superconducting wire, and the small bending radius. To address these challenges, a series of unique fixtures and tools, as well as a pre-over-bending method, were developed...</description>

      <title>Fast chaos indicator from auto-differentiation for dynamic aperture optimization</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0ts87408</link>
      <description>Automatic differentiation provides an efficient means of computing derivatives of complex functions with machine precision, thereby enabling differentiable simulation. In this work, we propose the use of the norm of the tangent map, obtained from differentiable tracking of particle trajectories, as a computationally efficient indicator of chaotic behavior in phase space. In many cases, a one-turn or few-turn tangent map is sufficient for this purpose, significantly reducing the computational cost associated with dynamic aperture optimization. As an illustrative application, the proposed indicator is employed in the dynamic aperture optimization of an ALS-U lattice design.</description>

      <title>Optical and spin properties of nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond formed along high-energy heavy ion tracks</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8fx6n4t8</link>
      <description>Exposure of matter to high-energy heavy ions induces defects along the ion trajectories through electronic and nuclear energy loss processes. Defects, including color centers, can recombine or form along latent damage tracks in semiconductors. Latent tracks in diamond were only recently observed. Here we report on color center formation in nitrogen-doped diamond along the latent tracks of 1 GeV gold and uranium ions. We optically observe direct formation of single vacancy related color centers (GR1-centers) along the tracks. Mobile vacancies can form NV-centers with native nitrogen atoms during thermal annealing. Molecular dynamics simulations show that isolated vacancies and vacancy clusters form through electronic stopping processes along ion trajectories. Moreover, by using 1 GeV Au ions with a dilute fluence, we create individually isolated quasi-1D chains of NV-centers, which appear as isolated bright luminescence strings and present competitive electron spin properties compared...</description>

      <title>Strong-field QED limitations on TeV-class plasma wakefield accelerators</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/307288sk</link>
      <description>We demonstrate that quantum and classical radiation effects can become non-negligible for TeV-class beams propagating through plasma channels typical of staged plasma accelerators. Although the quantum nonlinearity parameter χe remains small under currently envisioned experimental conditions, the cumulative influence of radiation over long acceleration distances can lead to significant modifications to the beam’s energy spread, emittance, and polarization. Our analytic models, validated by particle-in-cell simulations, highlight that for standard Gaussian beams, the orbit-induced energy spread dominates over quantum stochastic effects but can be mitigated by tailoring the beam profile, for example, through ring-shaped transverse distributions. In regimes where the radiation reaction approaches the accelerating force, the emittance may be cooled, forming distinctive ring-shaped phase-space structures. Finally, we analyze the influence of the radiation effect on spin transport inside...</description>

      <title>Exact Spin Map in a Uniform Magnetic Field with Application to Sector Bend Dipoles</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3qj7v13n</link>
      <description>In this note, we develop in closed form the time-evolution $SO(3)$ spin map determined by the Thomas-BMT equation for a charged particle with general gyromagnetic ratio in a uniform magnetic field.  This result is then applied to determine the corresponding $s$-evolution spin map in the curvilinear Frenet-Serret coordinate frame associated with the transport of a charged-particle beam through an ideal sector dipole (bending magnet).  The map is expressed in a factorized Lie-algebraic (axis-angle) form, making it straightforward to determine the corresponding $SU(2)$ or quaternion representation.  To facilitate numerical implementation, the Lie generators are expressed as functions of the six phase space variables commonly used for charged particle transport in $s$-based tracking codes.  This capability allows exact transport of both phase space and spin variables over an entire ideal sector dipole, without the need for numerical integration.  The results can also help to validate...</description>

      <title>Future Circular Collider Feasibility Study Report</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/86w380qt</link>
      <description>Volume 1 of the FCC Feasibility Report presents an overview of the physics case, experimental programme, and detector concepts for the Future Circular Collider (FCC). This volume outlines how FCC would address some of the most profound open questions in particle physics, from precision studies of the Higgs and EW bosons and of the top quark, to the exploration of physics beyond the Standard Model. The report reviews the experimental opportunities offered by the staged implementation of FCC, beginning with an electron-positron collider (FCC-ee), operating at several centre-of-mass energies, followed by a hadron collider (FCC-hh). Benchmark  examples are given of the expected physics performance, in terms of precision and sensitivity to new phenomena, of each collider stage. Detector requirements and conceptual designs for FCC-ee experiments are discussed, as are the specific demands that the physics programme imposes on the accelerator in the domains of the calibration of the collision...</description>

      <title>Design and commissioning of a new synchrotron beamline dedicated to X‐ray footprinting mass spectrometry</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5f61q0gf</link>
      <description>The structural biology method of X-ray footprinting mass spectrometry (XFMS) is available at two national synchrotron beamlines in the USA: one at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) on the West Coast and the other at the National Synchrotron Light Source II on the East Coast. XFMS is a solution-state technique that utilizes oxidative modifications of proteins at micromolar concentrations in aqueous buffer to extract structural information. X-rays are employed to generate hydroxyl radicals in situ, which covalently modify specific protein side chains. These modifications are subsequently quantified using liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Ratiometric changes in modification levels between two protein states (e.g. with and without ligand) generate a relative solvent accessibility map of the protein pairs, which serves to reveal structural features. Up until recently, the XFMS capability was available as part of a shared program at the ALS without a dedicated beamline. In...</description>

      <title>A linear collider vision for the future of particle physics</title>

      <description>In this paper we review the physics opportunities at linear e+e−$$\mathrm{e}^{+}\mathrm{e}^{-} $$ colliders with a special focus on high centre-of-mass energies and beam polarisation, take a fresh look at the various accelerator technologies available or under development and, for the first time, discuss how a facility first equipped with a technology that is mature today could be upgraded with technologies of tomorrow to reach much higher energies and/or luminosities. In addition, we discuss detectors, alternative collider modes, as well as opportunities for beyond-collider experiments and R&amp;amp;D facilities as part of a linear collider facility (LCF). The material of this paper supports all plans for e+e−$$\mathrm{e}^{+}\mathrm{e}^{-} $$ linear colliders and the additional opportunities they offer, independently of technology choice or proposed site, as well as R&amp;amp;D for advanced accelerator technologies. This joint perspective on the physics goals, early technologies and...</description>

      <title>Equilibrium and non-equilibrium heating in plasma-based deposition of thin films and coatings</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3fh1j9gv</link>
      <description>The involvement of plasmas in deposition processes opens the possibility for non-equilibrium processes including atomic scale heating by ions and electrons. This can be very beneficial from several points of view, including, but not limited to, a reduction of the requirements for conventional substrate heating, the possibility to deposit films on temperature-sensitive substrates, the formation of metastable or otherwise unattainable phases, and the combination of deposition and etching effects. Non-equilibrium heating implies transient (sub-picosecond to picoseconds) and highly localized (nanometer-squared) events associated with the arrival of energetic particles from the plasma. These particles carry kinetic and potential energies to the substrate or film surface. While conventional heating drives the system always toward equilibrium, non-equilibrium heating events involve competing effects of defect generation (affected by momentum transfer) and annealing (by localized heating)....</description>

      <title>A critical analysis of electron-beam evaporation of arc-produced macroparticles using an analytical model</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/24p4q664</link>
      <description>This work provides a quantitative analysis of what it would take to fully evaporate copper macroparticles embedded in a cathodic arc plasma flow. This analysis is important for the justification of efforts to develop an evaporation scheme based on adding an electron beam. We want to explore if this approach could be an alternative to conventional plasma filtering to obtain macroparticle-free plasma from a cathodic arc plasma source. If successful, cathodic arc plasma deposition could be extended from a popular technology for hard and decorative coatings to much more demanding coatings applications, for example in microelectronics. Here, we study the feasibility and economical implication of evaporating micrometer-sized macroparticles on length and time scales typical for cathodic arc deposition systems. We show by analytical modeling that macroparticles with a radius ⩽1 µm can be completely evaporated in a plasma of density 1016 m−3 when using an electron beam of at least 3 keV...</description>

      <title>Characterization of Oxidative Modifications to Short Peptides Using Low Dose Rate X-Rays</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8rj5z96z</link>
      <description>The method of X-ray footprinting and mass spectrometry (XFMS) using high flux synchrotron X-ray sources has become an established method in structural biology and is based on the radiolytic production of hydroxyl radicals, which oxidatively modify protein sidechains. While other methods of producing hydroxyl radicals are available, one benefit of using high flux density sources is that hydroxyl radical scavenging reactions can be minimized, and exposure times kept short to minimize secondary reactions. Here we present an application of the XFMS method using low dose rate X-rays from a commercial instrument. We demonstrate the feasibility of the approach using short peptides, characterizing the oxidative modifications +14, +16, and +32 Da under both aerobic and low oxygen conditions, and we additionally quantify the hydrogen peroxide production for various doses using the low dose rate source. These results provide fundamental information on the oxidative damage to peptides due...</description>

      <title>Effects of Rolling Reduction on Critical Current Density and Microstructure of Bi-2212 Wires</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5vx384hq</link>
      <description>Bi-2212 Rutherford cables have been fabricated into flat racetrack coils and canted-cosine-theta dipole magnets. The performance gap between the magnets made with Rutherford cables and the short-sample-limit is about 30. To better understand the influence of Rutherford cable processing on the strand performance, we studied three Bi-2212 wires with filament architectures of 37 18 and 55 18 and diameters of 0.8 and 1.0 mm. To simulate the deformation caused by cabling process, the three wires were rolled with thickness reductions ranging from 10 to 30. The aspect ratios of rolled strands are between 1.29 and 2.05. The low aspect-ratio wire is also an interesting form for fabricating solenoid coils with higher packing density. The round and rolled strands were heat-treated under 50 bar and with maximum heat treatment temperatures of 885.5 C and 890.5 C. The rolling deformation reduced filament size uniformity, resulting in filament merging in fully heat-treated wires. It was found...</description>

      <title>Over 8 hours of continuous operation of a free-electron laser driven by a laser-plasma accelerator</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9jw307fh</link>
      <description>Since the emergence of laser-plasma accelerators (LPAs), substantial work has been dedicated to using LPAs to drive free-electron lasers (FELs) for a broad range of applications. Despite recent breakthroughs, which have proven the fundamental feasibility of operating FELs with an LPA source, stable FEL operation over multiple hours without operator input had yet to be achieved. In this work, we report significant improvements to the stability of a hundred terawatt laser system, resulting in successful demonstration of reliable, long-term operation of an LPA-driven FEL in the self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) regime at 420&amp;nbsp;nm. The LPA source delivered 100&amp;nbsp;MeV electron beams at 1&amp;nbsp;Hz with high stability over more than 10&amp;nbsp;h, enabling over 8&amp;nbsp;h of continuous FEL operation without operator input. The acquired data were subsequently used to investigate correlations between the measured undulator radiation and parameters of the drive laser, plasma source,...</description>

      <title>Lie Algebraic Spin Maps and the Dynamics of Beam Polarization</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7jb946k0</link>
      <description>This note describes a Lie-algebraic map formalism to study the (semi-)classical transport of charged particle spin through regions of magnetic field typical of those encountered in the modeling of accelerator beamlines.  The approach relies on perturbative expansion of the Thomas-BMT equation about the nominal phase space trajectory through the element, together with a Mangus expansion \cite{BMAD, Dragt}.  The Lie-algebraic representation has the advantage that it exploits well-known results from the symplectic map formalism in the accelerator literature.  While we represent spin maps as elements of $SO(3)$, knowledge of the Lie generators allows for direct, straightforward translation into $SU(2)$ or the group of unit quaternions.  For a beam of charged particles, we explore the dynamics of the beam polarization vector under transport by such a Lie-algebraic spin map.</description>

      <title>Study of fully coupled three-dimensional envelope instability using automatic differentiation</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6fm4z9gf</link>
      <description>Automatic differentiation is a powerful tool for computing derivatives of simulation results with respect to given parameters. In this Letter, we have applied this tool to investigate the instability of a dynamical system governed by 21 ordinary differential equations. This second-order instability (named envelope instability) is driven by space-charge effects and has a significant impact on the operational regimes of particle accelerators. Our study delves into the three-dimensional envelope instability, incorporating both transverse and longitudinal coupling. Conventionally, analyzing this complex system would necessitate solving 441 ordinary differential equations, which is computationally intractable. However, by employing automatic differentiation, we were able to track only 21 equations. This approach allowed us to uncover an additional instability stopband, which arises from space-charge-induced coupling and has not been reported in previous studies. This research highlights...</description>

      <title>Real-Time GPU-Accelerated OFDR With an Integrated Auxiliary Interferometer</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6pt1229d</link>
      <description>A GPU-accelerated optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR) system with an improved integrated auxiliary interferometer is proposed. Unlike conventional approaches that require separate auxiliary interferometers and multiple detection channels, the proposed OFDR system embeds this functionality directly into the signal via an intentional beat component. This enables self-calibration of laser nonlinearity while maintaining a cost-effective hardware configuration. Building on this simplified configuration, the system leverages GPU acceleration with an NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti to achieve real-time performance, delivering high-throughput signal processing for continuous OFDR interrogation. The signal processing pipeline comprises signal capture, resampling for nonlinearity compensation, and frequency shift computation, all optimized for parallel execution. Hardware benchmarking demonstrates substantial acceleration over CPU implementations, achieving up to a $45\times $ speedup for...</description>

      <title>Elliptic Aperture CCT Coils for HTS Dipole Magnets</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/29k195dm</link>
      <description>High-temperature REBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{7-x}$ (REBCO) superconductors are a route to increase the field of accelerator magnets beyond the 15-16T practical limit of Nb$_{3}$Sn. REBCO cabled in a CORC geometry is a promising fit for this application, enabling the design of low inductance magnets with conductor transposition. However, the use of CORC in coils with the tight conductor bending radii typical of accelerator magnets remains a key challenge, with on-going research both on the conductor development and coil design fronts seeking to address this issue. In this work we explore the tradeoffs between circular and elliptic aperture canted-cosine-theta (CCT) coils when the conductor minimum bending radius is a key consideration, concluding that aperture ellipticity is an important free parameter in the optimization of magnetically efficient CORC dipole magnets. In particular, we show that elliptic bore designs enable a regime of smaller aperture HTS coils, an important result...</description>

      <title>Improved laser-plasma accelerator stability via high-bandwidth longitudinal focal position stabilization of a 100 TW-class laser system</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/14s8g7xq</link>
      <description>Laser-plasma accelerators (LPAs) offer an attractive alternative to conventional accelerators for the development of compact electron sources and next-generation light sources. Due to orders-of-magnitude larger accelerating gradients, LPAs enable the acceleration of high-brightness electron beams to ultrarelativistic energies in millimeter- to centimeter-scale distances. However, LPA stability is limited by shot-to-shot fluctuations of the driving laser system. Specifically, fluctuations in the final-focus longitudinal position result in correlated instability in LPA electron beam qualities, including total beam charge, average beam energy, and energy spread. We demonstrate active stabilization of the longitudinal focal position for a 100&amp;nbsp;TW-class laser system. This repetition-rate scalable stabilization system leverages noninvasive wave front monitoring of a copropagating, unamplified kHz pulse train to guide corrective adjustments to the focal position of a 1&amp;nbsp;Hz amplified...</description>

      <title>Symplectic machine learning model for fast simulation of space-charge effects</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5sh6x1pr</link>
      <description>Symplectic simulation of space-charge effects is crucial for the design and operation of high-intensity particle accelerators. Traditional methods for simulating these effects are often computationally expensive, resulting in significant overhead. In this work, we introduce a generative model based on a U-Net architecture within a generative adversarial network framework to efficiently simulate space-charge effects. The model is trained to predict the transverse multiparticle space-charge Hamiltonian, which can be physically computed using a gridless spectral method. The one-step symplectic transverse transfer map for the particles is then obtained by differentiating the predicted Hamiltonian. Benchmarking results demonstrate that this generative model achieves an order of magnitude higher computational efficiency compared to the spectral method, providing a highly efficient alternative for simulating space-charge effects with a large number of particles. By maintaining symplecticity,...</description>

      <title>A Beamdump facility at Jefferson Lab</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3pw8h3ft</link>
      <description>The potential of the intense secondary muon, neutrino, and (hypothetical) light dark matter beams at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) is explored. These are produced in the high-power dumps with high-current electron beams. Light dark matter searches with the approved Beam Dump eXperiment (BDX) are driving the realization of a new underground vault behind Hall&amp;nbsp;A that could be extended to a Beamdump Facility with little additional installations. High-energy muons created via the Bethe–Heitler process uniquely do not proceed through the more common pion production and decay channels. Several possible muon physics applications are highlighted. Neutrino detector technologies and experiments suitable for a beamdump facility are outlined.</description>

      <title>Cooling Design and Thermal Analysis for Thermal Shields of a Cryocooler-Cooled Superconducting ECR Ion Source MARS-D Magnet</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1kc9d803</link>
      <description>A demonstrative NbTi based Mixed Axial and Radial field System (MARS-D) is being developed for a next-Generation Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source (ECRIS) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBL), which employs a novel closed-loop coil design scheme that more efficiently utilizes conductor fields and extend the application of NbTi for high frequency (up to 45 GHz) ECR operation. The NbTi MARS-D magnet consists of a single hexagonally shaped closed-loop coil and a set of auxiliary solenoids. A cryostat for cooling the MARS-D magnet is under design at LBL. The MARS-D magnet working around 4.2 K will be bath-cooled in liquid helium using multiple two-stage cryocoolers. An intermediate temperature thermal radiation shield is adopted to reduce the heat leakage imposed on 4.2 K coil cold mass from room temperature. The thermal shield is conduction-cooled by the first-stage cold heads of four two-stage cryocoolers and the cold head of a single-stage cryocooler shared with...</description>

      <title>Analysis of Screening Current Effects in a Hybrid Nb$_{3}$Sn/REBCO Superconducting Accelerator Magnet Using a T-A Formulation</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/14b2b9wx</link>
      <description>To explore the feasibility of using high-temperature superconducting (HTS) REBCO coated conductors in future accelerator magnets, two REBCO flat racetrack coils were fabricated using 4-mm wide EuBCO tapes at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK). These coils were tested as an insert inside a Nb$_{3}$Sn common-coil dipole magnet, which provides a background field of up to $\sim$ 9.5T, at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). REBCO tapes offer exceptionally high critical current density under strong magnetic fields; however, they also exhibit significant magnetization due to screening currents, leading to magnetic field errors. This study presents a 2D finite element model of screening current-induced fields (SCIF) in REBCO coils using the T-A formulation, along with the results obtained. Simulations were then performed for two KEK test cases: one where the REBCO conductors were oriented with the HTS tapes parallel to the background field, and another where...</description>

      <title>Thermal Performance of a Conduction-Cooled CCT Dipole ReBCO Magnet: Several Cycles of Cool-Down and Thermal Gradient Measurements</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/13p1z31h</link>
      <description>This paper presents experimental results from conduction-cooled thermal testing of a ReBCO canted cosine theta (CCT) magnet (C2), originally designed and fabricated at LBNL using CORC cables. While the performance of the coil under liquid helium and nitrogen environments has been previously established, this study explores its behavior under conduction cooling using a large test cryostat at The Ohio State University. The magnet, measuring 613 mm in length and weighing 75 kg, consists of four helical layers wound with ReBCO-based CORC wire and was thermally anchored to a copper cold ring supported by a G-10 strongback. Cooling was provided by two Sumitomo RDK-415D cryocoolers, offering a combined 3 W at 4.2 K and 150 W at 77 K. Multiple thermal cycles were performed, with cooldown durations of up to 45 hours. Final base temperatures of approximately 10.8 K (at the coil edge) and 12.0 K (at the coil center) were achieved, with an axial temperature difference of approximately 1.2...</description>

      <title>Design of a Structure for Assembly and Cooling the Magnet of the Next-Generation 45 GHz ECR Ion Source MARS-D</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0zd8109d</link>
      <description>The current Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Sources (ECRISs), constructed with Nb-Ti wires and the conventional racetrack-and-solenoid structure, have achieved operating frequencies up to 28 GHz and utilized about 90% of the critical current of the Nb-Ti wire. A Mixed Axial and Radial field System Demonstrator (MARS-D) is being developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). This system, which consists of an innovative hexagonal Closed-Loop Coil (CLC) and a set of solenoids, can generate higher magnetic fields (up to 150% ) while requiring only about 50% of the superconducting wire, enabling Nb-Ti wires to be used in the next-generation 45 GHz ECRIS. However, the assembly and cooling of such an efficient and compact magnet are particularly challenging due to the small radial gap between the CLC and solenoids, as well as the tight operating temperature margin. To address these challenges, a structure was developed that combines a three-section radially split solenoid...</description>

      <title>Modeling of evaporation of macroparticles of vacuum arcs by an electron beam</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8xh5v73w</link>
      <description>The evaporation of droplets in an arc plasma flow under the action of an electron beam injected into the arc plasma and the condition of direct heating of microdroplets by beam electrons are considered. Analytical modeling shows that droplets ≤1 μm in size can be completely evaporated over time scales typical for cathodic arc deposition systems. It is shown that small microdroplets evaporate more intensively. The lower limit working points in terms of plasma electron density, and the electron energy and density of the injected energetic electrons required for droplet evaporation are found.</description>

      <title>Plasma gradient effect on direct laser acceleration</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/67f6g090</link>
      <description>The transfer of a high-intensity laser pulse energy to a high-energy electron beam via the direct laser acceleration mechanism is shown to be significantly enhanced through control of the plasma density gradient. Experiments performed using the OMEGA EP facility's high-intensity beams altered the plasma density and gradients by changing the Mach number and the angle of the gas-jet nozzle to the laser axis. When a long density gradient at the rear of the target is used, the total high-energy electron number measured was enhanced by 4.5 times compared to a shorter rear gradient. Complementary two-dimensional simulations, which follow the laser field evolution and the corresponding electron dynamics, strongly support the key trends observed in the experiment. The effect is twofold, the long density gradient provides the longest acceleration distance while it minimizes the formation of the sheath field as the electron beam exits into the vacuum. This study shows the importance of...</description>

      <title>Hydrodynamic modeling of plasma channel systems for laser plasma accelerators</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4xg129k9</link>
      <description>Structured plasma channels are an essential technology for driving high-gradient, plasma-based acceleration and control of electron and positron beams for advanced concepts accelerators. Laser and gas technologies can permit the generation of long plasma columns known as hydrodynamic, optically-field-ionized (HOFI) channels, which feature low on-axis densities and steep walls. By carefully selecting the background gas and laser properties, one can generate narrow, tunable plasma channels for guiding high intensity laser pulses. We present on the development of simulations of HOFI channels using the FLASH code, a publicly available radiation hydrodynamics code. We explore sensitivities of the channel evolution to laser profile, intensity, and background gas conditions, and identify relevant scalings with laser intensity through a range of practical channel delays.</description>

      <title>Bright electron bunches from a plasma-wakefield accelerator with a steep density down-ramp.</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/33484041</link>
      <description>High-brightness electron bunches drive fundamental research in particle physics and photon science. Key to achieving a high brightness is to have a low transverse emittance, which ensures that the bunch can be tightly focussed. In radiofrequency accelerators a low initial emittance can be rapidly degraded due to space charge forces, which are greatly diminished once the electron bunch attains a relativistic velocity. A plasma accelerator can maintain orders-of-magnitude higher accelerating fields than radiofrequency accelerators, while multiple techniques exist to create a low emittance electron bunch directly inside the plasma accelerator structure. Plasma accelerators therefore offer a possibility to create high-brightness bunches in wakefields driven even by low-quality drive bunches. Here we demonstrate the injection and gigavolt-per-metre acceleration of electron bunches with mm-mrad normalised emittance, O (10 pC/MeV) spectral density and per-cent-level energy spread, all...</description>

      <title>Multi-messenger dynamic imaging of laser-driven shocks in water using a plasma wakefield accelerator</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6v96v16q</link>
      <description>Understanding dense matter hydrodynamics is critical for predicting plasma behavior in environments relevant to laser-driven inertial confinement fusion. Traditional diagnostic sources face limitations in brightness, spatiotemporal resolution, and in their ability to detect relevant electromagnetic fields. In this work, we present a dual-probe, multi-messenger laser wakefield accelerator platform combining ultrafast X-rays and relativistic electron beams at 1 Hz, to interrogate a free-flowing water target in vacuum, heated by an intense 200 ps laser pulse. This scheme enables high-repetition-rate tracking the evolution of the&amp;nbsp;interaction using both particle types. Betatron X-rays reveal a cylindrically symmetric shock compression morphology assisted by low-density vapor, resembling foam-layer-assisted fusion targets. The synchronized electron beam detects time-evolving electromagnetic fields, uncovering charge separation and ion species differentiation during plasma expansion...</description>

      <title>Burning voltage dynamics of cathodic arcs: Theory and experiment</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4s62v281</link>
      <description>Abstract The burning voltage of cathodic arcs is a key indicator of plasma–cathode interactions, yet its dependence on material, gas environment, and transient surface pro cesses remains is not fully understood and well described. In this work, we invest gated the burning voltage dynamics of cathodic arcs on titanium, aluminum, copper, and graphite cathodes in vacuum, argon, oxygen, and nitrogen atmospheres. We addressed how the burning voltage dynamics can be analyzed through the dynamics in the burning voltage amplitude and the power spectrum. We proposed the use of the Poisson point process to interpret burning voltage power spectrum dynamics. Argon reduces burning voltage through gas-enhanced ion bombardment nearby the operating spot, while reactive gases promote dielectric-covered surfaces that increase the prevalence short-lived type 1 spots. The presence of short-lived type 1 spots is reflected in the increasing decay rate γmax of the Poisson point process model. In aluminum–oxygen...</description>

      <title>Entanglement of a nuclear spin qubit register in silicon photonics</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7xv6s730</link>
      <description>Colour centres provide an optical interface to quantum registers based on electron and nuclear spin qubits in solids. The T centre in silicon is an emerging spin–photon interface that combines telecom O-band optical transitions and an electron spin in a scalable photonics platform. Here we integrate T centres into single-mode photonic waveguides in a silicon-on-insulator platform. We demonstrate the initialization, coherent control and state read-out of a three-qubit register based on the electron spin of a T centre coupled to a hydrogen and a silicon nuclear spin. The spin register exhibits spin echo coherence times of 0.41(2) ms for the electron spin, 112(12) ms for the hydrogen nuclear spin and 67(7) ms for the silicon nuclear spin. We use nuclear–nuclear two-qubit gates to generate entanglement between the two nuclear spins with a fidelity of F = 0.77(3) and a coherence time of T2*=2.60(8)$${T}_{2}^{* }=2.60(8)$$ ms. Our results show that a T centre in silicon photonics can...</description>

      <title>Agentic artificial intelligence for multistage physics experiments at a large-scale user facility particle accelerator</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/40p887vr</link>
      <description>We present a language-model-driven agentic artificial intelligence (AI) system to autonomously execute multistage physics experiments on a production synchrotron light source. Implemented at the Advanced Light Source particle accelerator, the system translates natural language user prompts into structured execution plans that combine archive data retrieval, control-system channel resolution, automated script generation, controlled machine interaction, and analysis. In a representative machine physics task, we show that preparation time was reduced by 2 orders of magnitude relative to manual scripting even for a system expert, while operator-standard safety constraints were strictly upheld. Core architectural features, plan-first orchestration, bounded tool access, and dynamic capability selection, enable transparent, auditable execution with fully reproducible artifacts. These results establish a blueprint for the safe integration of agentic AI into accelerator experiments and...</description>

      <title>Input to the European strategy for particle physics: strong-field quantum electrodynamics</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3f88t562</link>
      <description>This document sets out the intention of the strong-field QED community to carry out, both experimentally and numerically, high-statistics parametric studies of quantum electrodynamics in the non-perturbative regime, at fields approaching and exceeding the critical or ‘Schwinger’ field of QED (Fqed=m2c3/eħ≈1.3×1018$$F_{\textsf {qed}}= m^2c^3/e\hbar \approx 1.3 \times 10^{18}$$ V/m) in the rest frame of a charged particle. In this regime, several exotic and fascinating phenomena are predicted to occur that have never been directly observed in the laboratory. These include Breit–Wheeler pair production, vacuum birefringence, and quantum radiation reaction. This experimental programme will also serve as a stepping stone towards studies of elusive phenomena such as elastic scattering of real photons and the conjectured perturbative breakdown of QED at extreme fields. State-of-the-art high-power laser facilities in Europe and beyond are starting to offer unique opportunities to study...</description>

      <title>The High Rigidity Spectrometer at the FRIB: Magnet Development Status</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7j84z97k</link>
      <description>This paper presents the 2025 progress of the High Rigidity Spectrometer (HRS) project at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). We report on the construction and testing of the first-article HRS-High Transmission BeamLine (HTBL) magnets. An HTBL dipole magnet has successfully completed cold testing, achieving full magnetic performance without quenching, and is now ready for field mapping at FRIBs offline test bench. HTBL quadrupole triplet coils have been fabricated and tested, with all coils reaching their design currents, some following initial training quenches. Furthermore, the preliminary design of the large-scale, large-aperture SPectrometer Section (SPS) magnets has progressed to determine the baseline of the downstream HRS-SPS subproject in 2025. This includes the introduction of novel magnet designs, such as the sweeper dipole magnet, the sector dipole magnet, and iron-free coil-dominated quadrupole magnets, representing a significant scale breakthrough and a first...</description>

      <title>A Computational Procedure for Assessing Ic(ε) in Nb3Sn/Bi-2212 Hybrid Magnets</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0d23920s</link>
      <description>The critical current of superconductors is commonly measured by testing unloaded wires under an external magnetic field. While stressed by intense Lorentz forces, the existing HTS/LTS superconductors are prone to a reduction in critical current before reaching their structural mechanical limit. In this work, the magnetic and mechanical analysis of the FNAL 4-layer Bi-2212/Nb_{3}Sn hybrid dipole magnet is reported, aimed at predicting the critical current degradation for both the superconductors during powering at 16T. All the Rutherford cables in the coils of the hybrid magnet were modeled at the strand level in Ansys APDL with the heterogeneous cable model. Utilizing this detailed geometry, it was possible to evaluate the effects of strain on the critical current degradation for both the Nb3 Sn and Bi-2212 superconductors under the intense Lorentz forces. The analysis presented in this paper integrates strain-dependent critical current laws, with parameters derived from experimental...</description>

      <description>is an experimental search for dark matter axions. It uses a solenoidal dc magnetic field to convert an axion dark-matter signal to an ac electromagnetic response in a coaxial copper pickup. The current induced by this axion signal is measured by dc SQUIDs.  is designed to be sensitive to Kim-Shifman-Vainshtein-Zakharov (KSVZ) and Dine-Fischler-Srednicki-Zhitnisky (DFSZ) QCD axion models in the 10–200&amp;nbsp;MHz (  ) range, and to axions with  over 5–30&amp;nbsp;MHz as an extended goal. In this work, we present the electromagnetic modeling of the response of the experiment to an axion signal over the full frequency range of  , which extends from the low-frequency, lumped-element limit to a regime where the axion Compton wavelength is only a factor of 2 larger than the detector size. With these results, we determine the live time and sensitivity of the experiment. The primary science goal of sensitivity to DFSZ axions across 30–200&amp;nbsp;MHz can be achieved with a  live scan time of 2.9&amp;nbsp;ye...</description>

      <title>Enhanced energy gain through higher-order resonances during direct laser acceleration with superluminal phase velocity</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1r23k429</link>
      <description>Ultra-high intensity laser–plasma interactions can produce ultra-relativistic electrons via direct laser acceleration, assisted by quasi-static plasma magnetic and electric fields. These fields transversely confine electron motion and induce betatron oscillations. The net energy gain is strongly influenced by the interplay between two frequencies: the betatron frequency and the frequency of laser field oscillations experienced by the electron. Prior work has shown that energy gain is enabled by a resonance between the betatron oscillations and the oscillations of the laser field. In particular, higher-order resonances occur when the laser field completes multiple cycles during one betatron oscillation, allowing additional regimes of energy transfer beyond the fundamental (betatron) resonance. In this work, we demonstrate that such resonances become particularly effective when the laser's phase velocity is superluminal. Although the two frequencies generally evolve differently...</description>

      <title>Mechanical power generation using Earth’s ambient radiation</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4gn5j1s0</link>
      <description>Radiative cooling can be used to passively cool objects below ambient temperature by exhausting heat toward the sky. The emitted power flux may be used to generate electricity, but devices often require low-bandgap or rare-earth materials that are difficult to scale. Here, we demonstrate an alternative approach that generates mechanical power from Earth's ambient radiation using a Stirling engine. Outdoor experiments performed throughout the year show that temperature differences &amp;gt;10°C are sustained during most months, resulting in the generation of &amp;gt;400 milliwatts per square meter of mechanical power with a potential for &amp;gt;6 watts per square meter. We further apply this technique for air circulation, achieving &amp;gt;0.3 meters per second with a potential volumetric flow rate that exceeds 5 cubic feet per minute (cfm), which is sufficient for CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; circulation in greenhouses and for thermal comfort inside residential buildings.</description>

      <title>Analytical expression of a finite, long, conical canted-cosine-theta coil for particle collider interaction regions</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0d243371</link>
      <description>Magnets in the accelerator interaction region (IR) present significant challenges because of high field requirements and limited available space. Conical-shaped magnets offer advantages in these environments by allowing closer placement to the interaction point while maintaining clearance from synchrotron radiation. Interestingly, numerical studies have shown that conical canted-cosine-theta (CCT) designs produce a constant field distribution along the axial direction in the IR quadrupoles for the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. However, the field harmonics generated by conical CCT windings are not yet fully understood. This paper presents an analytical approach to describe the magnetic field produced by a conical surface current and proposes a method for designing conical CCT magnets for accelerator applications. First, we begin with a surface current sheet having a general cosine-theta distribution in spherical coordinates and solve the vector...</description>

      <title>A two-and-a-half dimensional symplectic space-charge solver</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4wj2k486</link>
      <description>The nonlinear space-charge effect plays a significant role in high-intensity accelerators and has
been extensively studied using multi-particle tracking methods. In this paper, we present a novel 2.5-
dimensional symplectic space-charge solver specifically designed for long beam bunches. We begin
by detailing its application to a transverse Gaussian density distribution under open boundary
conditions in a straight system, where a semi-analytical expression is derived. We then demonstrate
the solver’s adaptation to arbitrary distributions in open space, as well as within rectangular and
round conducting pipes. Finally, we discuss the extension of this solver to circular accelerator
systems. This study shows that the fast 2.5-dimensional solver can be a good approximation to the
fully three-dimensional solver for long bunches in large circular accelerators.</description>

      <title>Magnetic Field Mapping of a 2.5 T Fixed-Field HTS Gantry Magnet for Proton Therapy</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1780m37r</link>
      <description>We present results from testing a high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet prototype for proton therapy. This magnet is specifically designed for a novel rotating gantry capable of delivering the entire proton beam energy range (70225 MeV) while maintaining a fixed magnetic field in the superconducting magnets. The gantry layout simplifies the magnet design, enabling the use of straight, flat racetrack Bi-2223 (DI-BSCCO) coil technology and operation at higher temperatures (1015 K). The magnet has a non-linear field distribution for bending and focusing the proton beams. To validate this feature, we developed a system for measuring the magnetic field distribution in the magnet aperture. We present the design of this hall probe array and experimental results from two different magnet tests at 4.2 K in a liquid helium bath. These results are compared with the simulated field distribution and discussed in the context of the required field quality for the application.</description>

      <title>Measurement of directional muon beams generated at the Berkeley Lab Laser Accelerator</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/26k333hg</link>
      <description>We present the detection of directional muon beams produced using a PW laser facility at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The muon source is a multi-GeV electron beam generated in a  laser-plasma accelerator interacting with a high-  converter target. The GeV photons resulting from the interaction are converted into a high-flux, directional muon beam via pair production. By employing scintillators to capture delayed events, we were able to identify the produced muons and characterize the source. Using theoretical knowledge of the muon production process combined with simulations that are in excellent agreement with the experiments, we demonstrate that laser-plasma accelerators have the capability of generating electron beams with characteristics suitable to produce GeV-scale muons that offer unique advantages with respect to the cosmic background. Laser-plasma-accelerator-based muon sources can therefore enhance muon imaging applications thanks to their compactness,...</description>

      <title>Nanoscale detection of metastable states in porous and granular media</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5zb4c7b8</link>
      <description>Microseismicity in subsurface geologic environments, such as sandstone gas reservoirs, is expected in the presence of liquid or gas injection. Although difficult to predict, the potential for microseismic events is important to field-scale projects, such as geologic storage of CO2, whereby the gas is injected into natural sandstone formations. We conjecture that a primary factor causing microseismicity is the existence of metastable states in a granular porous medium and provide experimental evidence for its validity. External perturbation triggers abrupt relaxation events which, with a certain probability, can grow into macroscopic microseismic events. Here, the triggering perturbation is produced by cooling to a cryogenic temperature. As the "sensor" for the abrupt relaxation events, we use thin Al films deposited on the sandstone surface. We show that as the temperature is varied, the films' resistance exhibits sharp jumps, which we attribute to mechanical restructuring or...</description>

      <title>Noise limits for dc SQUID readout of high-Q resonators below 300 MHz</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0569n02q</link>
      <description>We present the limits on noise for the readout of cryogenic high-Q resonators using dc Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs) below 300 MHz. This analysis uses realized first-stage SQUIDs (previously published), whose performance is well described by Tesche–Clarke (TC) theory, coupled directly to the resonators. We also present data from a prototype second-stage dc SQUID array designed to couple to this first-stage SQUID as a follow-on amplifier with high system bandwidth. This analysis is the first full consideration of dc SQUID noise performance referred to a high-Q resonator over this frequency range and is presented relative to the standard quantum limit. We include imprecision, backaction, and backaction–imprecision noise correlations from TC theory, the noise contributed by the second-stage SQUIDs, wiring, and preamplifiers, and optimizations for both on-resonance measurements and off-resonance scan sensitivity. This architecture has modern relevance due to...</description>

      <title>Energy recovery proton linear accelerator</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8211x3vg</link>
      <description>High-power proton linear accelerators have important applications in both scientific research and industry. However, the operation of such accelerators with megawatt-level beam power is expensive and limits the broad availability of these facilities. In this Letter, we propose a novel energy recovery proton linear accelerator in which the final GeV-level proton beam is reinjected into the linear accelerator from the accelerator exit and is decelerated in the same accelerator down to about 2&amp;nbsp;MeV, close to the initial beam energy. This substantially reduces the power consumption of the proton linear accelerator and also avoids the need for a high-power beam dump. We demonstrate this concept through self-consistent simulations and show that the beam-beam effect between the forward-accelerating beam and the backward-decelerating beam would not be a limiting factor for the proposed concept. A potential application of this concept to an electron-ion collider based on energy recovery...</description>

      <title>Laser-Induced Spectral Diffusion of T Centers in Silicon Nanophotonic Devices</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4qh484sx</link>
      <description>Color centers in silicon are emerging as spin-photon interfaces operating at telecommunication wavelengths. The nanophotonic device integration of silicon color centers via ion implantation leads to significant optical-linewidth broadening, which makes indistinguishable photon generation challenging. Here, we study the optical spectral diffusion of T centers in a silicon photonic crystal cavity. We investigate the linewidth-broadening timescales and origins by measuring the temporal correlations of the resonance frequency under different conditions. Spectral hole-burning measurements reveal no spectral broadening at short timescales from 102 ns to 725 ns. We probe broadening at longer timescales using a check pulse to herald the T-center frequency and a probe pulse to measure the frequency after a wait time. The optical resonance frequency is stable up to 3 ms in the dark. Laser pulses below the silicon band gap applied during the wait time lead to linewidth broadening. Our observations...</description>

      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3m35g364</link>
      <description>Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) has an ongoing research program for characterization of superconducting wires. This includes expertise and special equipment to measure critical current of virgin and extracted strands over a broad range of current, magnetic field and temperature. These capabilities are required as part of comprehensive conductor characterization program for the Test Facility Dipole, a large bore, high field magnet under development to support future testing of large current cables and insert coils for Fusion Energy and High Energy Physics applications. The Test Facility Dipole is being developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) for installation in a newly commissioned High Field Vertical Magnet Test Facility (HFVMTF) at FNAL.</description>

      <title>Electrochemical loading enhances deuterium fusion rates in a metal target</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5hr619s6</link>
      <description>Nuclear fusion research for energy applications aims to create conditions that release more energy than required to initiate the fusion process1. To generate meaningful amounts of energy, fuels such as deuterium need to be spatially confined to increase the collision probability of particles2-4. We therefore set out to investigate whether electrochemically loading a metal lattice with deuterium fuel could increase the probability of nuclear fusion events. Here we report a benchtop fusion reactor that enabled us to bombard a palladium metal target with deuterium ions. These deuterium ions undergo deuterium-deuterium fusion reactions within the palladium metal. We showed that the in situ electrochemical loading of deuterium into the palladium target resulted in a 15(2)% increase in deuterium-deuterium fusion rates. This experiment shows how the electrochemical loading of a metal target at the electronvolt energy scale can affect nuclear reactions at the megaelectronvolt energy scale.</description>

      <title>Generalized random walk model of cathode spot motion</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9jp8p2nq</link>
      <description>Cathode spots in a cathodic arc discharge exhibit complex dynamical motion. Traditionally, this motion has been modeled as a simple random walk with fixed-step size and time, but this approach fails to reconcile the large variations in experimental measurements of step size and time and it also fails to explain the temporal self-similarity of the cathode spot process in the burning voltage noise. We propose a generalized random walk model based on a diffusive continuous time random walk, allowing step size and time to be governed by evolving probability distributions. The proposed model resolves the inconsistencies in earlier models and successfully reproduces the fractal features seen in experiments, namely, the Brownian noise in the spectral power density of the burning voltage and in light emission.</description>

      <title>Elliptic multipoles and the modeling of narrow-gap bend magnets in accelerators</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9p11p2nz</link>
      <description>We highlight the virtues of 2D elliptic-multipole field expansions in modeling the magnetic fields of narrow-aperture, straight-axis bending magnets with parallel faces, addressing the limitations of the conventional circular multipole series when the beam-orbit sagitta exceeds the magnet's vertical half-gap. The elliptic multipoles provide a convenient way to represent the field in all aspects of the magnet development (design, particle-tracking simulations, measurements). We propose a numerically robust method of data analysis to determine the elliptic (or circular) multipoles from stretched-wire measurements with the wire moving on an arbitrary path.</description>

      <title>Tape-in-tape-out (TITO): a new approach for in-situ contact resistance measurements in high temperature superconducting CORC® cables</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9gc9n8m4</link>
      <description>One of the ongoing development challenges with ReBCO high-temperature superconducting (HTS) cables is normal zone initiation and local heating, which is associated with over-critical current flowing through and around local performance reductions in individual tapes. Although inter-tape contact resistances are well-reported for individual tapes and HTS cables, these measurements are a challenge in CORC® cables as current percolates through much of the cable. In this work, developments in tape-in-tape-out (TITO) automated individual tape powering experiments are presented, and a simplified modeling approach for current percolation in CORC® cables is developed. An optimization is formulated to fit the model parameters to a large set of TITO experiments on a single cable, allowing the layer-dependent inter-tape contact resistance to be extracted. Measurements are presented and discussed for a straight CORC® cable and a cable bent to a 152 mm and 76 mm radius. The approach provides...</description>

      <title>A renewable double plasma mirror for Petawatt-class lasers</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/95m0v79f</link>
      <description>Exceptional pulse contrast can be critical for ultraintense laser experiments, particularly when using solid density targets, and their use is becoming widespread. However, current plasma mirror technology is becoming inadequate for the new generation of high repetition rate, high power lasers now available. We describe a novel double plasma mirror configuration based on renewable, free standing, ultrathin liquid crystal films tested at the BELLA Petawatt Laser Center. Although operating at a repetition rate of several shots per minute, this system can be scaled to a high repetition rate exceeding 1 Hz and represents an important step towards enabling sustained, continuous operation of plasma mirrors. We demonstrate an improvement of two to three orders of magnitude in contrast and a total throughput of 80%. We present the first measurements of a beam reflected from a single or double plasma mirror system using a wavefront sensor, showing a well preserved wavefront and spatial...</description>

      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3gh2j4tb</link>
      <description>Laser plasma accelerators, typically operating at 1–10 Hz repetition rates, have the ability to produce high-quality electron beams in compact, all-optical-driven configurations, with the electron beams uniquely suited for a wide variety of accelerator-based applications. However, fluctuations and drifts in the laser delivery to the meter-scaled and below plasma target (the electron beam source) will translate into electron beam source variations that can limit their utility for demanding applications like light sources or linear colliders. Commercially available active feedback laser stabilization systems are intrinsically bandwidth limited due to their integration with multi-inch corrective mirror mounts which minimizes their effectiveness. In this manuscript, we present a Neural Network time series forecaster that can predict laser position fluctuations of the laser delivery to the final target well ahead of a future laser shot. The Root-Mean-Square-Error (RMSE) of the prediction...</description>

      <title>A round bobbin critical current measurement and thermal runaway simulation of REBCO coated conductors</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0gc2q7g5</link>
      <description>A round bobbin test has been widely used to measure critical current Ic of practical superconductors including Nb–Ti, Nb3Sn, and Bi-2212 round strands at 4.2 K and in high magnetic fields but rarely used for rare earth-barium-copper-oxide (REBCO) coated conductor tapes. Here, we applies this method to REBCO tapes and test their Ic at 77 K, self-field, and 4.2 K with a magnetic field of 14 T applied parallel to the tape. The sample carries very high current densities; it is 1.3 m long and has a dense array of voltage taps that allows probing localized thermal runaways and correlation with Ic variations along the length. At 77 K, the Ic values of all sections were measured and found to be rather uniform. However, at 4.2 K, we found that a 3 cm section has 90% of the overall voltage drop and it went into thermal runaways upon further increasing current. Thus, at 4.2 K, we were prevented by localized thermal runaways and unable to determine Ic of most of the REBCO conductor sections;...</description>

      <title>Distributed fiber-optic sensing in a subscale high-temperature superconducting dipole magnet</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5vz3h9b5</link>
      <description>High-temperature superconductors, such as REBa2Cu3O7−x (REBCO, RE = rare earth), are becoming pivotal for high-field magnet technology for future circular colliders and compact fusion reactors. The U.S. Magnet Development Program, in collaboration with industry, is developing REBCO magnet technology using round conductors consisting of multiple REBCO tapes. For these multi-tape cables, traditional instrumentation, such as voltage taps and resistive strain gauges, become insufficient to help measure and understand the performance-limiting factors in these model magnets. Distributed fiber-optic sensing (DFOS) is a potential solution to address this challenge. Although DFOS is well established for various applications, measuring temperature and strain in high-temperature superconducting magnets is in its infancy. Here we report the detailed implementation and test results of DFOS based on Rayleigh scattering in a subscale canted cosθ (CCT) dipole magnet using high-temperature superconducting...</description>

      <title>Laser based 100 GeV electron acceleration scheme for muon production</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/83j3s0zk</link>
      <description>High energy muons, due to their unique ability to penetrate deeply into matter, can enable radiography of structures that cannot be probed by other forms of radiation. Current terrestrial sources of muons require conventional GeV-TeV particle accelerators which are hundreds to thousands of meters in size. Laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) can achieve acceleration gradients of two-to-three orders of magnitude greater than conventional accelerators, thus shrinking the accelerator to a number of meters. We propose a concept for a compact muon source based on the first self-consistent PIC simulations of an all optical LWFA that uses a guiding channel to achieve electron energies of 100 GeV in a distance of 6&amp;nbsp;m with a driving laser energy of 300 J in a single stage. From the resulting electron energy spectrum we estimate muon production for this source. We show that this accelerator, coupled with high average power laser driver technology, provides the basis for a high energy...</description>

      <title>Poisson Equation for a (General) Homogeneous d-Dimensional Ellipsoid with Applications to Beam Envelope Tracking</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/23z2q2d4</link>
      <description>This note describes the solution of the free-space Poisson equation in the interior of a $d$-dimensional homogeneous ellipsoid, and the associated space charge fields.  An explicit formula (\ref{Sformula}) is provided that relates the $d\times d$ matrix describing the space charge (quadratic) potential to the $d\times d$ covariance matrix of the ellipsoid.  For the cases $d=2$ and $d=3$, this result is used to determine the linear map corresponding to a space charge kick, that may be used to push the beam $6\times 6$ covariance matrix during envelope tracking.  The treatment of upright ellipsoids for $d=2$ and $d=3$ is well-represented in the literature.  However, the approach taken here emphasizes a general ellipsoid with arbitrary correlations in any dimension.  The Appendix provides a general solution of the free-space Poisson equation in dimension $d$ for a source distribution with ellipsoidal symmetry.</description>

      <title>Pointing stabilization of a 1 Hz high-power laser via machine learning</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7vh5p5wc</link>
      <description>Abstract  High-power lasers are vital for particle acceleration, imaging, fusion and materials processing, requiring precise control and high-energy delivery. Laser plasma accelerators (LPAs) demand laser positional stability at focus to ensure consistent electron beams in applications such as X-ray free-electron lasers and high-energy colliders. Achieving this stability is especially challenging for the low-repetition-rate lasers in current LPAs. We present a machine learning method that predicts and corrects laser pointing instabilities in real-time using a high-frequency pilot beam. By preemptively adjusting a correction mirror, this approach overcomes traditional feedback limits. Demonstrated on the BELLA petawatt laser operating at the terawatt level (30 mJ amplification), our method achieved root mean square pointing stabilization of 0.34 and 0.59    $\unicode{x3bc} \mathrm{rad}$   in the x and y directions, reducing jitter by 65% and 47%, respectively. This is the first...</description>

      <title>NeutralNet: an application of deep neural networks to pulse shape discrimination for use with accelerator-based neutron sources</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4kx791f1</link>
      <description>Recent works have implemented machine learning based solutions for many complex classification tasks including pulse shape discrimination in radiation detection. The present work aims to advance the application of machine learning to pulse shape discrimination in neutron detection. A machine learning based neutron-gamma discrimination technique is investigated for various neutron energy distributions produced from DD, DT, (α,n), and spontaneous fission neutron sources. Comprehensive investigations on the training data generation techniques, the impact of the PMT bias, and the discrimination performance are conducted. With the increase of the PMT bias voltage, the neutron classification performance peaked at 1500 V with 81&amp;nbsp;% of validation neutrons being identified at a false positive rate of 1E-6 while the further bias increase led to a notable degradation in performance. The unsatisfactory classification performance encountered when training off of one neutron source type...</description>

      <title>Greater than 1000-fold Gain in a Free-Electron Laser Driven by a Laser-Plasma Accelerator with High Reliability</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5cm394g7</link>
      <description>Compact free-electron lasers (FELs) based on plasma-based accelerators have been envisioned for many years. While recent milestone experiments have demonstrated feasibility, further progress is needed to establish laser-plasma-accelerator-driven FELs as reliable light sources. Demonstrating both full FEL saturation and reliable operation commensurate with conventional FEL facilities is critical. We report progress on both of these fronts. FEL gain exceeding 1000 at a wavelength of 420&amp;nbsp;nm in the self-amplified spontaneous emission regime has been measured. Lower and upper bounds for the characteristic exponential gain length were measured at 16.7-22.5&amp;nbsp;cm. Additionally, reliability of the laser-plasma-accelerator-driven FEL, defined here as the percentage of shots displaying FEL gain, reached an unprecedented level of greater than 90% over the course of an hour while operating at 1&amp;nbsp;Hz repetition rate.</description>

      <title>Domain-specific text embedding model for accelerator physics</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7qz0f2jw</link>
      <description>Accelerator physics presents unique challenges for natural language processing (NLP) due to its specialized terminology and complex concepts. A key component in overcoming these challenges is the development of robust text embedding models that transform textual data into dense vector representations, facilitating efficient information retrieval and semantic understanding. In this work, we introduce AccPhysBERT, a sentence embedding model fine-tuned specifically for accelerator physics. Our model demonstrates superior performance across a range of downstream NLP tasks, surpassing existing models in capturing the domain-specific nuances of the field. We further showcase its practical applications, including semantic paper-reviewer matching and integration into retrieval-augmented generation systems, highlighting its potential to enhance information retrieval and knowledge discovery in accelerator physics.</description>

      <title>Modeling laser-wakefield accelerators using the time-averaged ponderomotive approximation in a Lorentz boosted frame</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/076761pc</link>
      <description>Future, high-fidelity simulations of multi-GeV-class laser Wakefield accelerators (LWFAs) will need to model the propagation of high-intensity laser drivers over meter-scale plasmas with high spatial and temporal resolutions, thus requiring high amounts of computational resources. Various techniques have been devised over the years to reduce the computational cost of such simulations, including the time-averaged ponderomotive approximation, and the use of the Lorentz boosted frame technique. In this paper we discuss the combination of these two computational techniques, highlighting the resulting significant reduction in the computational cost of LWFA simulations and the limitations of this approach. The combination of the two techniques can potentially become essential for the modeling of a multi-TeV, LWFA-based collider.</description>

      <title>Longitudinal tapering in gas jets for increased efficiency of 10-GeV class laser plasma accelerators</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9gt3k403</link>
      <description>Modern laser plasma accelerators often require plasma waveguides tens of centimeters long to propagate a high-intensity drive laser pulse. Tapering the longitudinal gas density profile in 10&amp;nbsp;cm scale gas jets could allow for single stage laser plasma acceleration well beyond 10 GeV with current petawatt-class laser systems. Via simulation and interferometry measurements, we show density control by longitudinally adjusting the throat width and jet angle. Density profiles appropriate for tapering were calculated analytically and via particle-in-cell simulations and were matched experimentally. These simulations show that tapering can increase electron beam energy using 19&amp;nbsp;J laser energy from ∼9 GeV to &amp;gt;12 GeV in a 30&amp;nbsp;cm plasma and the accelerated charge by an order of magnitude.</description>

      <title>Fabrication and Test of C3a: A Six-Layer Subscale Canted $\cos \theta$ Dipole Magnet Using High-Temperature Superconducting corc Wires</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/44q234z2</link>
      <description>rebco coated conductors have a strong potential for high-field magnet applications. The rebco technology, however, is still in its infancy for accelerator magnet applications. As part of the U.S. Magnet Development Program, we developed a six-layer canted $\cos \theta$ dipole magnet, C3a, using corc wires developed by Advanced Conductor Technologies LLC. All the layers were wound using a semiautomated winding machine. Three layers of the magnet used corc wires containing the SuperPower AP rebco tapes and the remaining layers used the wires containing the HM tapes. At 77 K, both kinds of corc wires showed 5% to 10% degradation, after bending to a minimum bend radius of 30 or 35 mm, with respect to the self-field critical current measured before winding. At 4.2 K, the magnet reached 9.5 kA at a ramp rate of 9 A s$^{-1}$ and generated a dipole field of 1.4 T. The critical current of one layer degraded by 4% after a current transient up to 10.5 kA ramped in an averaged rate of 175...</description>

      <title>A procedural solution for determining the temperature dependence of transport critical current in Nb3Sn superconducting wires using magnetization measurements</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8962f55x</link>
      <description>Using magnetization techniques to determine the temperature dependence of critical current in Nb3Sn wires is attractive because of the relative ease compared with using variable-temperature transport measurements. However, there is a known mismatch in the temperature scaling characterizations when using magnetization data compared to transport data. From a practical standpoint, it is the transport properties that matter, as performance prediction, margin calculations, and other aspects of magnet designs rely on the knowledge of the amount of transport current the superconductor can carry in a magnetic field. In this paper, we will identify the underlying issues and propose a procedural solution for determining the temperature dependence of transport critical current in Nb3Sn superconducting wires using magnetization measurements. By using one standard transport measurement at 4.2 K as an ‘anchor’, with this procedural solution it becomes possible to combine the simplicity and...</description>

      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3z34q2s1</link>
      <description>We report on experimental activities on HiRES, a novel ultrafast electron diffraction beamline under development at LBNL. The instrument provides high-flux of relativistic electron pulses with sub-picosecond duration, which are then shaped in transverse and longitudinal phase space producing small spot sizes with femtosecond resolution. Alternatively beam shaping can be used to achieve large lateral coherence lengths for chemical and biological applications.</description>

      <title>Application of mesh refinement to relativistic magnetic reconnection</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/18w1n94f</link>
      <description>During relativistic magnetic reconnection, antiparallel magnetic fields undergo a rapid change in topology, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of non-thermal particle acceleration. This work explores the application of mesh refinement to 2D reconnection simulations to efficiently model the inherent disparity in length-scales. We have systematically investigated the effects of mesh refinement and determined necessary modifications to the algorithm required to mitigate non-physical artifacts at the coarse–fine interface. We have used the ultrahigh-order pseudo-spectral analytical time-domain Maxwell solver to analyze how its use can mitigate the numerical dispersion that occurs with the finite-difference time-domain (or “Yee”) method. Absorbing layers are introduced at the coarse–fine interface to eliminate spurious effects that occur with mesh refinement. We also study how damping the electromagnetic fields and current density in the absorbing layer can help prevent...</description>

      <title>Energy-preserving coupling of explicit particle-in-cell with Monte Carlo collisions</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/03t9544n</link>
      <description>The particle-in-cell (PIC) and Monte Carlo collisions (MCC) methods are workhorses of many numerical simulations of physical systems. Recently, it was pointed out that, while the two methods can be exactly-or nearly-energy-conserving independently, combining the two leads to anomalous numerical heating. This paper reviews the standard explicit PIC-MCC algorithm, elucidates the origins of the anomalous numerical heating, and explains how to couple the two methods such that the anomalous numerical heating is avoided.</description>

      <title>Generating spokes in direct current magnetron sputtering discharges by an azimuthal strong-to-weak magnetic field strength transition</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2711985n</link>
      <description>Spokes are regions of enhanced ionization in magnetron sputtering discharges that are interesting because of their role for magnetron operation and their potential effect on deposition processes. Here, we show that spokes can intentionally be generated by introducing a strong-to-weak magnetic field strength transition along the racetrack. Spokes are triggered at the transition point from an accelerating electron drift when weakening the magnetic field strength. The spokes are then propagating against the electron drift into the strong magnetic field strength section of the racetrack. At the weak-to-strong magnetic field transition, we observe the inverse effect. The electron drift is decelerated at this point, creating a region of enhanced optical emission. From rectangular racetracks this is known as the cross-corner effect. Here, we show that a corner is not necessary for observing that effect. Pronounced spokes at low working gas pressure of 0.2 Pa exhibit a substructure that...</description>

      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0ph8f1c2</link>
      <description>I regret to state that there is a printing mistake in the equation defining [Formula presented], the normalized temperature enhancement due to the supply of potential energy by particles arriving at the surface, namely, the corresponding equation after equation (3) of the original publication misses the melting temperature symbol [Formula presented]. The correct equation reads [Formula presented] As one can easily see from equation (3) of the original publication, [Formula presented] is a normalized temperature and thus dimensionless (no unit), while the melting temperature [Formula presented] has the unit Kelvin. By using the melting temperature, the normalization of [Formula presented] is the same as the normalization of the conventional film growth temperature [Formula presented], which led to the dimensionless homologous temperature [Formula presented] given in equation (1) of the original publication. Unfortunately, the omission of the melting temperature symbol [Formula...</description>

      <title>Microstructure Characterization of Nb3Sn Wires With Nanoprecipitate Artificial Pinning Centers Using Synchrotron High-Energy X-Rays</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9635t5fq</link>
      <description>Synchrotron high-energy X-rays were used in an attempt to estimate nanoprecipitate size and size distribution in Nb3Sn powder-in-tube wires with ZrO2 or HfO2 artificial pinning centers via small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The effect of sample preparation was studied but measurements for as-received and for partially etched wires were not successful. Extracted sub-elements appeared to show more scattering contrast due to the lower number of phases, but no particle size could be extracted in this first attempt. Analysis of TEM data from the literature showed large particle size distribution (PSD) for different heat treatment conditions, suggesting that PSD could likely never be measured with SAXS due to a smeared signal. Experimental challenges with in-situ measurements revealed the sensitivity of infra-red furnaces and to changes in sample emissivity. The use of in-situ wide angle X-ray scattering data was successful in estimating the wire temperatures from the lattice parameter...</description>

      <title>Crack Identification and Characterization in Deformed Nb3Sn Rutherford Cable Stacks Using Machine Learning</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1df7z10n</link>
      <description>An investigation of instance segmentation of cracks in Nb3Sn 4-stack 40-strand Rutherford cables using machine learning is presented. Three samples were uniaxially and biaxially loaded before metallographic inspections were performed. The Mask R-CNN model was used in the Detectron2 framework with pre-trained weights but fine-tuned to detect and segment cracks. The model detected cracks with bounding box and mask average precisions (AP) of 42.8 and 27.9, respectively, and was used for instance segmentation of all cracks in the three samples. More cracks were found in the sample pre-loaded along the z-axis (i.e., along the cable length). Pre-loading along the x-axis (i.e., on the cables edges) reduced the number of cracks and changed the crack orientation distribution, away from being highly aligned with the y-axis (i.e., normal to the cables broad faces), i.e., the direction with the highest applied load. Fine-tuning of the Segment Anything Model (SAM) was also studied but performed...</description>

      <title>Modeling and design of compact, permanent-magnet transport systems for highly divergent, broad energy spread laser-driven proton beams</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0w86d72g</link>
      <description>Laser-driven (LD) ion acceleration has been explored in a newly constructed short focal length laser beamline at the BELLA petawatt facility (interaction point 2, iP2). For applications utilizing such LD ion beams, a beam transport system is required, which for reasons of compactness be ideally contained within 3&amp;nbsp;m. While they are generated from a micron-scale source, large divergence and energy spread of LD ion beams present a unique challenge to transporting them compared to beams from conventional accelerators. This study gives an overview of proposed compact transport designs using permanent magnets satisfying different requirements depending on the application for the iP2 laser beamline such as radiation biology, material science, and high-energy density science. These designs are optimized for different parameters such as energy spread and peak proton density according to the application’s need. The various designs consist solely of permanent magnet elements, which...</description>

      <title>Factors influencing quantum evaporation of helium from polar semiconductors from first principles</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3nt994rv</link>
      <description>While there is much indirect evidence for the existence of dark matter (DM), to date it has evaded detection. Current efforts focus on DM masses over  —to push the sensitivity of DM searches to lower masses, new DM targets and detection schemes are needed. In this work, we focus on the latter—a novel detection scheme recently proposed to detect 10–100&amp;nbsp;meV phonons in polar target materials. Previous work showed that well-motivated models of DM can interact with polar semiconductors to produce an athermal population of phonons. This new sensing scheme proposes that these phonons then facilitate quantum evaporation of  from a van der Waals film deposited on the target material. However, a fundamental understanding of the underlying process is still unclear, with several uncertainties related to the precise rate of evaporation and how it can be controlled. In this work, we use density functional theory calculations to compare the adsorption energies of helium atoms on a polar...</description>

      <title>Matched Guiding and Controlled Injection in Dark-Current-Free, 10-GeV-Class, Channel-Guided Laser-Plasma Accelerators</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8465g5b1</link>
      <description>We measure the high-intensity laser propagation throughout meter-scale, channel-guided laser-plasma accelerators by adjusting the length of the plasma channel on a shot-by-shot basis, showing high-quality guiding of 500&amp;nbsp;TW laser pulses over 30&amp;nbsp;cm in a hydrogen plasma of density n_{0}≈1×10^{17}  cm^{-3}. We observed transverse energy transport of higher-order modes in the first ≈12  cm of the plasma channel, followed by quasimatched propagation, and the gradual, dark-current-free depletion of laser energy to the wake. We quantify the laser-to-wake transfer efficiency limitations of currently available petawatt-class lasers and demonstrate via simulation how control over the laser mode can significantly improve beam parameters. Using 21.3&amp;nbsp;J of laser energy, and triggering localized electron injection, we observed electron bunches with single, quasimonoenergetic peaks up to 9.2&amp;nbsp;GeV with charge extending beyond 10&amp;nbsp;GeV.</description>

      <title>Quasiprobabilistic Readout Correction of Midcircuit Measurements for Adaptive Feedback via Measurement Randomized Compiling</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4s5656bs</link>
      <description>Quantum measurements are a fundamental component of quantum computing. However, on present-day quantum computers, measurements can be more error prone than quantum gates and are susceptible to nonunital errors as well as nonlocal correlations due to measurement crosstalk. While readout errors can be mitigated in postprocessing, this is inefficient in the number of qubits due to a combinatorially large number of possible states that need to be characterized. In this work, we show that measurement errors can be tailored into a simple stochastic error model using randomized compiling, enabling the efficient mitigation of readout errors via quasiprobability distributions reconstructed from the measurement of a single preparation state in an exponentially large confusion matrix. We demonstrate the scalability and power of this approach by correcting readout errors without matrix inversion on a large number of different preparation states applied to a register of eight superconducting...</description>

      <title>JuTrack: A Julia package for auto-differentiable accelerator modeling and particle tracking</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/88h8x2nx</link>
      <description>Efficient accelerator modeling and particle tracking are key for the design and configuration of modern particle accelerators. In this work, we present JuTrack, a nested accelerator modeling package developed in the Julia programming language and enhanced with compiler-level automatic differentiation (AD). With the aid of AD, JuTrack enables rapid derivative calculations in accelerator modeling, facilitating sensitivity analyses and optimization tasks. We demonstrate the effectiveness of AD-derived derivatives through several practical applications, including sensitivity analysis of space-charge-induced emittance growth, nonlinear beam dynamics analysis for a synchrotron light source, and lattice parameter tuning of the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). Through the incorporation of automatic differentiation, this package opens up new possibilities for accelerator physicists in beam physics studies and accelerator design optimization.

      <title>Enhanced Isomer Population via Direct Irradiation of Solid-Density Targets Using a Compact Laser-Plasma Accelerator</title>
      <link>https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0tc9r96f</link>
      <description>Excitation of long-lived states in bromine nuclei using a tabletop laser-plasma accelerator providing pulsed (&amp;lt;100  fs) electron beams provided a sensitive probe of γ strength and level densities in the nuclear quasicontinuum and may indicate angular momentum coupling through electron-nuclear interactions. Solid-density active LaBr_{3} targets absorb real and virtual photons up to 35±2.5  MeV and deexcite through γ cascade into different states. A factor of 4.354±0.932 enhancement of the ^{80}Br^{m}/^{80}Br^{g} isomeric ratio was observed following electron irradiation, as compared to bremsstrahlung. Additional angular momentum transfer could possibly occur through nuclear-plasma or electron-nuclear interactions enabled by the ultrashort electron beam. Further investigation of these mechanisms could have far-reaching impact including decreased storage of long-term nuclear waste and an improved understanding of heavy element formation in astrophysical settings.</description>
