Detective quantum efficiency (DQE)-oriented design of a transparent scintillator tandem x-ray/optical microscope for photon-starved 7.2-keV radiography at the National Ignition Facility (NIF)
X-ray radiography at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) must simultaneously achieve micron-scale spatial resolution and adequate signal-to-noise ratio with a limited number of 7.2-keV photons. To address this coupled resolution-through...

Conceptual design of the electron-optics of the magnetic electron recoil gamma-ray spectrometer
In nuclear fusion reactors, deuterium and tritium are fused together. Most reactions produce a 4He ion and a 14 MeV neutron, while about 2 × 10−5 of them produce a 5He ion and a gamma photon. One of the most important measurements from a...

Reconfigurable Bitter-type electromagnet for Zeeman slowing
Many Zeeman slower magnets are geometrically captured by a vacuum chamber, preventing modification or repair without breaking the vacuum. We describe a Bitter-type electromagnet coil design that can be easily disassembled, reconfigured, ...
