Time harmonic inverse scattering using accurate forward models is often computationally expensive. On the other hand, the use of computationally efficient solvers, such as the Born approximation, may fail if the targets do not satisfy the…
The measurement of beam emittances by extracting the quadrupole mode signal from a 4 plate beam position monitor (BPM) was published at least 40 years ago. Unfortunately, in practice, this method suffers from poor signal to noise ratio and…
