However, it remains challenging to realize a closed-cycle cryostat for cooling a relatively long cavity to very low temperatures. Here we report on the design and experimental realization of a cryostat operating continuously at 3.1 K for an ultrastable 10-cm silicon cavity. Based on a combination of active temperature control and passive thermal damping, we realize at 3.1 K a two-second temperature instability of 6 × 10−8 K for the cavity. By implementing separate supporting structures for the cryocooler and the sample chamber, we realize vibration control on the 1 × 10−7 g level at one second in each spatial direction, where g is the gravitational acceleration. With all these features, our cryostat can support an ultrastable silicon cavity with instability near its fundamental thermal noise floor at averaging time of 1–50 s. With proper upgrading, our platform holds promise for realizing ultrastable lasers with 3 × 10−17 or better frequency stability, which will in turn enable numerous studies on precision metrology and quantum many-body physics.","PeriodicalId":573,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Physics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42338963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The European X-Ray Free-Electron Laser Facility (XFEL) plans to demonstrate the operation of SCUs in X-ray free-electron lasers (FELs). For the same geometry, SCUs can reach a higher peak field on the axis with respect to all other available technologies, offering a larger photon energy tunability range. The application of short-period SCUs in a high electron beam energy FEL > 11 GeV will enable lasing at very hard X-rays > 40 keV. The large tunability range of SCUs will allow covering the complete photon energy range of the soft X-ray experiments at the European XFEL without changing electron beam energy, as currently needed with the installed permanent magnet undulators. For a possible continuous-wave (CW) upgrade under discussion at the European XFEL with a lower electron beam energy of approximately 7–8 GeV, SCUs can provide the same photon energy range as available at present with the permanent magnet undulators and electron energies. This paper will describe the potential of SCUs for X-ray FELs. In particular, it will focus on the different activities ongoing at the European XFEL and in collaboration with DESY to allow the implementation of SCUs in the European XFEL in the upcoming years.","PeriodicalId":573,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Physics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43688322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first example we give is a designed electron waveguide (EWG) on 2DEG with special periodic confinement potential. Numerical calculations show that, with proper confinement geometry, electrons can be completely localized in an open waveguide. We interpret this flat band localization (FBL) phenomenon by introducing the concept of self-localized orbitals. Essentially, each unit cell of the waveguide is equivalent to an artificial atom, where the self-localized orbital is a special eigenstate with unique spatial distribution. These self-localized orbitals form the flat bands in the waveguide. Such self-localized orbital induced FBL is a general phenomenon of wave motion, which can arise in any wave systems with carefully engineered boundary conditions. We then design a metallic waveguide (MWG) array to illustrate that similar FBL can be readily realized and observed with electromagnetic waves.\u0000</p><figure><div><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></div></figure></div>","PeriodicalId":573,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Physics","volume":"18 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4827518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To implement this upgrade, the loaded quality factor (Q L ) of the superconducting cavities will increase by more than one order of magnitude. This will result in shrinking the cavity bandwidth to values as low as a few Hertz. Since the Lorentz Force Detuning (LFD) experienced during the accelerating field buildup is of hundreds of Hertz, the Low-Level RF (LLRF) system has to accurately track and control the cavity resonance frequency to obtain the desired accelerating gradient. Moreover, ponderomotive instabilities have to be suppressed to achieve stability during beam acceleration. Since LFD is a repetitive disturbance in cavity frequency, the correction to its effects can be implemented as a feedforward compensation on the piezoelectric tuners of the cavity. Initial results on the simulation of feedforward resonance control in the HDC regime are discussed in this proceeding.","PeriodicalId":573,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Physics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41417888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, multiband polarimetric imaging is presented to address the deficiencies of the previous single-band study. Polarization imaging experiments of sea fog and non-sea fog in an indoor simulated environment are carried out and compared and analyzed by establishing an artificial simulation system to characterize the sea fog concentration by optical thickness with different concentrations of sea fog environment as the medium. The polarization information of each waveband converted by Stokes parametric is then brought into the two-dimensional discrete wavelet algorithm for image fusion processing. The findings indicate that when the optical thickness of sea fog increases, the polarized light in the chaotic medium recedes and the effect of the image blurs. Finally, after the image fusion process, the contrast of the image is improved and the detail of the target contour is obvious, which proves that the method has good robustness under the low signal-to-noise ratio of the sea fog environment. This provides a solid platform for targeted surveys and civic operations under dense marine fog conditions.","PeriodicalId":573,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Physics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47889833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the aspect of digital image processing, detection tasks mainly focus on data processing and transformation to identify valuable features, which make the algorithms more effective. The consistent requirement for speed and accuracy in X-ray prohibited item detection is still not fully satisfied, especially in pictures obtained under special imaging conditions. For noisy X-ray images with heavy occlusion, a direct and suitable approach of representation learning is the optimal solution. According to our study, we realized that heterogeneous information fusion from different extraction approaches can be applied effectively to overcome this issue. We proposed two innovative algorithms to extract effective features of X-ray objects to significantly improve the efficiency of X-ray prohibited item detection. The brief model we proposed fuses the representations learned from the noisy X-ray images and outperforms the best model (DOAM-O) so far on OPIXray. Furthermore, the attention module we designed to select information on deep learning and representation strengthens the model; considering this, the model utilizes lesser time for both training and inference, which makes it easier to be trained on a lightweight computing device.","PeriodicalId":573,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Physics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46230817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For lateral PIN junction detectors, we determined that setting the length of the n-type slab region to be 2.8 times that of the p-type slab region, based on the carrier saturation drift rate ratio, does not compromise the bandwidth.

Therefore, it is important to accurately determine the critical nodes in the network to enhance the network’s resistance to destruction. Combining the characteristic attributes of the communication network, a node contribution evaluation matrix is proposed based on the efficiency matrix, from the perspective of node receiving information; a node value evaluation matrix is proposed from the perspective of a node providing information to neighboring nodes, and node importance is calculated by integrating the evaluation results of the two matrices and the node’s own attributes. The algorithm is suitable for directed-weighted network node value evaluation, and the effectiveness and accuracy of the algorithm are verified by comparing other algorithms for a small-scale network. In further experimental validation, a hybrid weighted communication network evolution model based on organizational structured networks is proposed, and networks of different sizes are generated for experimental simulation. The results show that when nodes with high importance are removed from the network, they can cause a rapid decrease in the network efficiency and maximum connectivity, confirming the accuracy of the algorithm in evaluating the importance of nodes and identifying critical nodes in the network.","PeriodicalId":573,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Physics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44773779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
