Article Abstract
Seeking for a high-gain fusion scheme is a hot issue in inertial confinement fusion community, especially after the successful fusion ignition at National Ignition Facility. Fast ignition provides an alternative due to its potential to reduce the energy of driven lasers and achieve higher target gain, whose key step is efficiently generating fast electron beam using picosecond lasers. The properties of the electron beam, such as energy spectra, determine heating efficiency and neutron yield. In this paper, with two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations, we studied how the dual-color lasers affect the fast electron generation. We find that the energy transfer ratio from laser to fast electrons would significantly increase, and the fast electron energy spectra would be adjusted in the dual-color injecting scheme, where an extra weak low-frequency laser is injected with the main pulse. These phenomena are attributed to the longitudinal electric field modulation in the relatively low-density region and relativistic electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) process in microchannels formed in the over-dense region. Our results can be applied to fast ignition schemes and applications based on relativistic electron generation with different pulses.

The calibration of the JET x-ray spectrometer is presented. The absolute throughput, diffractor focusing, and instrument function of the spectrometer are presented, and the quality of the ion temperature measurement is re-assessed, particularly at the lower end. The addition of a second diffractor enables the simultaneous measurements of the spectra from H- and He-like nickel, which widens the spatial coverage of the core-ion temperature measurements for high-performance plasmas at a fixed Bragg angle range.

We model Auger spectra using second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation (MP2) theory combined with complex-scaled basis functions. For this purpose, we decompose the complex MP2 energy of the core-hole state into contributions from specific decay channels and propose a corresponding equation-of-motion (EOM) method for computing the doubly ionized final states of Auger decay. These methods lead to significant savings in computational cost compared to our recently developed approaches based on coupled-cluster theory [F.

Molecules that exhibit excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) have demonstrated great promise in fluorescent probes. The electronic effect of substituents has an important influence on the ESIPT process. In this study, we investigated the effects of substituents on the ESIPT mechanism and the photophysical behavior of single-benzene fluorophore (SBF) derivatives with computational chemistry methods.

Mordenite ((Ca,Na,K)AlSiO·7HO) is a natural and synthetic nanoporous zeolite containing several channels of different sizes in its structure. Because of this, its structure provides an important opportunity to study the relationship between confined and ultraconfined water as these channels have sizes between those typical of these water environments. In this study, the properties of water molecules in these environments were analyzed using inelastic and quasielastic neutron spectroscopy of a natural mordenite.

Rationale: Electrospray (ESI), the most popular desorption/ionization technique used in mass spectrometry-based metabolomics, generates both protonated and deprotonated molecules, as well as adduct ions, sodium being the most frequent monoatomic cation entering their composition. With the spread and generalization of untargeted data-dependent and independent tandem mass spectrometry experiments, considering product ion spectra of sodium-containing entities appears relevant to complement fragmentation information of their protonated and deprotonated counterparts.
Methods: Solutions of pure standards, mainly amino and organic acids, were prepared at 1 μg/mL and injected either by direct infusion or by flow-injection prior to ESI-MS/MS analysis.
