A hard X-ray free-electron laser (FEL), as a state-of-the-art light source, was optimized using evolutionary algorithms for dedicated user applications such as X-ray Raman scattering (XRS), resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS), and X-ray emission spectroscopies (XES). Optimal parameter sets were obtained for an in-vacuum planar undulator driven by an 8 GeV electron beam. Performance parameters of self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) operation (i.e. optimized SASE performance parameters through evolutionary algorithms) were found to be consistent with operating X-ray FEL facilities around the world. It is shown that FEL characteristics for specific user experiments can be optimized by finding several evolutionary algorithm solutions within the range of 5 keV to 10 keV.","PeriodicalId":46003,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Journal of Physics","volume":"43 1","pages":"551-555"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43768243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The calculated results agree with the accessible experiment in some cases, while some are closer in agreement with the experiment. The minimum formation enthalpies observed are -17.80, -15.20, -13.10, -11.50, and -0.90 eV for Cr-Mo, Cr-V, Fe-V, V-Fe, and Mo-Cr, respectively. The Cr-Mo alloy is the most stable of all the selected alloys with the least formation enthalpy. For the alloy structure, bcc phases were observed for $V_{0.50}{Cr}_{0.50}{,, , V}_{0.01}{Mo}_{0.99}$, $V_{0.50}{Fe}_{0.50},, , $and ${Cr}_{0.01}{Mo}_{0.99}$ alloys with values of VEC of textless 6.87.

The new CMS forward pixel detector must survive an integrated luminosity of 300 fb$^{-1}$ before being replaced again prior to the High-Luminosity LHC era. Just as in the original construction, the Phase-1 forward pixel sensors were made of n$^{+}$-in-n Diffusion Oxygenated Float Zone silicon.

Results of the plug-in for the fluence rate distributions are in very good agreement with the ones from MCML for both of the wavelengths.
