    Background/Purpose: End-window X-ray tubes, despite their growing application in energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF), remain less studied than side-window designs. This work focuses on using Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the effect of Palladium (Pd) target thickness and beam energy on X-ray spectra. The goal is to optimize these parameters to enhance spectral quality and...

    Abstract:

    Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) is a remarkable phenomenon where quantum effects manifest on a macroscopic scale. It has been observed in various systems, including ultracold atoms, and has recently been extended to non-equilibrium systems comprising photons and quasiparticles such as excitons, polaritons, and magnons. In this work, we focus on magnon Bose-Einstein Condensates...

Zr-based chalcogenides AZrS3 (A=Ba, Ca, or Sr) are the most studied family of chalcogenide perovskites for optoelectronic properties, due to their...

    In this work, a theoretical framework for the spectroscopy of the $6\text{P}_{3/2}$ state in $^{85}Rb$ is demonstrated using a triple resonance spectroscopy technique implemented in the V-type plus a two-level system addressed by 780 nm, 420 nm and 421 nm lasers. This has been achieved using the density matrix formalism under electric dipole and rotating wave approximations and simulated using...

    Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S, with fatalities increasing from 928,741 in 2023 to 931,578 in 2024. Moreover, there has been immense pressures on the healthcare system due to delayed or inaccurate diagnosis for heart-related issues and deaths. To bridge this gap between high heart-related deaths and low treatment plans, EASyExam is an Al-driven diagnostic...

    In high-energy particle collisions, protons emit quarks and gluons, which are modelled to interact with the surrounding vacuum to produce more quarks and gluons in a cascading process known as a parton shower. Eventually, these particles combine to form hadrons, collectively moving in the same direction to create what we observe as a jet. The Lund Jet Plane (LJP), mapping the momentum and...

    Building on the results of [Faye et al., Phys. Rev. B 97, 235151 (2018)], which identified an antiferromagnetic (AFM) and Kondo singlet phases on the Kondo-Hubbard square lattice, we use the variational cluster approximation to investigate the competition between these phases on a two-dimensional triangular lattice with 120 degree spin orientation. In addition to the AFM exchange interaction...

    The 25Mg nucleus plays a critical role in nucleosynthesis processes, particularly in slow neutron capture process (s-process). The (α,n) reaction on 22Ne producing 25Mg is the main neutron source in massive stars. In addition, 25Mg is the origin of the formation of two other nuclei in stellar environments, the proton capture on 25Mg, forms 26Al and the neutron capture on 25Mg, forms 26Mg. The...

    The SU(1,1) interferometer, a nonlinear analog of the traditional Mach-Zehnder interferometer, has emerged as a powerful tool for achieving phase sensitivity beyond the standard quantum limit (SQL). In this work, we propose the using of a superposition of even and odd coherent states as input states to enhance the phase sensitivity of an SU(1,1) interferometer. These non-classical states...
