When characterising beam-sensitive materials in the scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM), low-dose techniques are essential for the reliable observation of samples in their true state. A simple route to minimise both the total…
X-ray scattering has been an indispensable tool in advancing our understanding of matter, from the first evidence of the crystal lattice to recent discoveries of nuclei's fastest dynamics. In addition to the lattice, ultrafast resonant…
We describe a pulsed rotating supersonic beam source, evolved from an ancestral device [M. Gupta and D. Herschbach, J. Phys. Chem. A 105, 1626 (2001)]. The beam emerges from a nozzle near the tip of a hollow rotor which can be spun at…
We present an algorithm for the simultaneous measurement of a pulse time-of-arrival (TOA) and dispersion measure (DM) from folded wideband pulsar data. We extend the prescription from Taylor (1992) to accommodate a general two-dimensional…
FLASH-RT has proven beneficial in preclinical studies. However, the lack of accurate real time 2D dosimetry is a limiting factor. In this work, an innovative solution for 2D real time dosimetry in UHDR electron beams is presented. The…
We study an inverse initial source problem that models Photoacoustic tomography measurements with array detectors, and introduce a method that can be viewed as a modification of the so called back and forth nudging method. We show that the…
Precise knowledge of the behaviour of the phase of light in a focused beam is fundamental to understanding and controlling laser-driven processes. More than a hundred years ago an axial phase anomaly for focused monochromatic light beams…
We investigate the impact of noise processes on high-precision pulsar timing. Our analysis focuses on the measurability of the second spin frequency derivative $\ddot{\nu}$. This $\ddot{\nu}$ can be induced by several factors including the…
Previous studies determining which astronomical photometry software is best suited for a particular dataset are usually focused on speed, source classification, and/or meeting a sensitivity requirement. For faint objects in particular, the…
Ultrafast optical imaging has enabled direct observation of femtosecond-nanosecond dynamics, yet three-dimensional (3D) dynamic measurements at high numerical aperture (NA) remain hindered by the intrinsically shallow depth of field (DoF)…

Optical fibres constitute an exceptional sensing platform. However, standard fibres present an inherent sensing challenge: they confine light by design to an inner core. Consequently, nearly all distributed fibre sensors are restricted to…
A two-step shape reconstruction method for diffuse optical tomography (DOT) is presented which uses adjoint fields and level sets. The propagation of near-infrared photons in tissue is modeled by the time-dependent linear transport…
