Laser propulsion has been proposed for relativistic interstellar flights, but it faces the significant challenge of requiring extremely powerful laser radiation due to the inherently low momentum transfer between the beam and the sail. The…

We present a method to compressed the 2D transverse phase space projections from a hadron accelerator and use that information to predict the beam transmission. This method assumes that it is possible to obtain at least three projections of…
Imaging biological molecules in the gas-phase requires novel sample delivery methods, which generally have to be characterized and optimized to produce high-density particle beams. A non-destructive characterization method of the transverse…
The generation of quantum entanglement of macroscopic or mesoscopic bodies in mechanical motion is generally bounded by the thermal fluctuation exerted by their environments. Here we propose a scheme to establish stationary entanglement…

The Hefei Advanced Light Facility (HALF) will be a VUV and soft X-ray diffraction-limited storage ring (DLSR), and its high density of electron bunches makes the intra-beam scattering (IBS) effect very serious. In this paper, an IBS module…

In this paper, we present a fully local second-order upwind scheme, applicable on generic meshes. This is done by hybridisation, which is achieved by introducing unknowns on each edge of the mesh. By doing so, fluxes only depend on values…
