Laser-plasma acceleration in a conical plasma channel with longitudinally inhomogeneous plasma profile
Laser-plasma acceleration is considered as a modern method of accelerating bunches using a wakefield excited by a laser pulse. This paper demonstrates the use of a longitudinally inhomogeneous increasing plasma density gradient in a conical channel to increase of the energy of a self-injected bunch. Comparison of a conical channels with homogeneous and inhomogeneous plasma and also conical and cylindrical homogeneous channels, shows a clear advantage of an inhomogeneous conical channel. The lon…

After the murders of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky in D.C.,
the Zionist organization JewBelong put up billboards stating,
“Make no mistake: if you screamed ‘Free Palestine’ you helped pull the trigger”
and “When will you learn? ‘Free Palestine’ is a death chant.”
The Republican-led congressional resolution condemning the Boulder attack labeled “Free Palestine” an
“antisemitic slogan that calls for the destruction of the state of Israel and the Jewish peopl…

Contrast-Invariant Self-supervised Segmentation for Quantitative Placental MRI
Accurate placental segmentation is essential for quantitative analysis of the placenta. However, this task is particularly challenging in T2*-weighted placental imaging due to: (1) weak and inconsistent boundary contrast across individual echoes; (2) the absence of manual ground truth annotations for all echo times; and (3) motion artifacts across echoes caused by fetal and maternal movement. In this work, we propose a contrast-augmented segmentation framework that leverages complementary infor…

Oh my goodness! You can enable login and logout sounds in KDE Plasma! 🎶
The Oxygen sound theme has such a nice jingle, too. It reminds me of the good old days. I'm keeping that.
You can enable it in Settings − Apps & Windows − Notifications − Login − Play a sound (See screenshot)
You can set a custom sound file, but a file from your current sound theme should already be default if there is one.

Tungsten erosion and scrape-off layer transport modelling in L-mode helium plasma discharges in ASDEX Upgrade
Due to its unavoidable presence in thermonuclear DT plasmas and to its peculiar effects on materials, investigating the role of helium (He) in plasma-wall interaction (PWI) in current tokamaks is fundamental. In this work, PWI in L-mode He plasma discharges in ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) is modelled by exploiting simplified analytical approaches and two state-of-the-art codes. SOLPS-ITER is employed both to provide a suitable background plasma for erosion simulations and to interpret diagnostics measur…

Plasma sheath physics: A circuital description, amelioration, and application
A synoptic review of the electrical circuital model-based analysis of laboratory plasma sheaths, alongside their stability features in a realistic broader horizon, is systematically presented herein. It explains the basic physics responsible for the inductive (L_sh), capacitive (C_sh), and resistive (R_sh) properties simultaneously, exhibited by plasma sheaths. The analyzed model sheath behaviors are judiciously described in the light of the state-of-the-art sheath scenarios, illustratively. Th…
