Ultra-high-gain water-window X-ray laser driven by plasma photocathode wakefield acceleration
Lily H. A. Berman, David Campbell, Edgar Hartmann +4
X-ray free-electron lasers are large and complex machines, limited by electron beam brightness. Here we show through start-to-end simulations how to realise compact, robust and tun…
Discovering New Variable Stars at Key Stage 3
Katy Chubb, Rosie Hood, Thomas Wilson +2
Details of the London pilot of the `Discovery Project' are presented, where university-based astronomers were given the chance to pass on some real and applied knowledge of astrono…
The PLATO Mission
Heike Rauer, Conny Aerts, Juan Cabrera +842
PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is ESA's M3 mission designed to detect and characterise extrasolar planets and perform asteroseismic monitoring of a large numb…
Functional Requirements-Based Automated Testing for Avionics
Youcheng Sun, Martin Brain, Daniel Kroening +7
We propose and demonstrate a method for the reduction of testing effort in safety-critical software development using DO-178 guidance. We achieve this through the application of Bo…
Ionospheric observations of Underground Nuclear Explosions (UNE) using GPS and the Very Large Array
Jihye Park, Joseph Helmboldt, Dorota A. Grejner-Brzezinska +2
Observations from GPS receivers and the Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope recorded traveling ionospheric disturbances (TID) from underground nuclear explosions (UNEs), detonat…
THYME XIII: Two young Neptunes orbiting a 75-Myr star in the Alpha Persei Cluster
Anne Dattilo, Andrew M. Vanderburg, Madyson G. Barber +28
Young planets with mass measurements are particularly valuable in studying atmospheric mass-loss processes, but these planets are rare and their masses difficult to measure due to…
Proton-Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration for Future HEP Colliders
Allen Caldwell, John Farmer, Nelson Lopes +3
We discuss the main elements of a collider facility based on proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration. We show that very competitive luminosities could be reached for high energ…
Validation of ERMES 20.0 finite element code for MAST Upgrade O-X mode conversion
Ruben Otin, Ying Hao Matthew Liang, Thomas Wilson +2
This study presents the validation of the frequency-domain finite element code ERMES 20.0, benchmarked against Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) solvers. The simulations focus o…
Guided propagation of extremely intense lasers in plasma via ion motion
Wei-Min Wang, Zheng-Ming Sheng, Thomas Wilson +2
The upcoming petawatt laser facilities may deliver laser pulses with unprecedented intensity of , which can trigger various nonlinear quantum…
Understanding population fluctuations through volunteered geographic information and novel indicators: The experience of Rakiura, Stewart Island, New Zealand
Mathew Darling, Benjamin Adams, Caroline Orchiston +2
In an era of heterogeneous data, novel methods and volunteered geographic information provide opportunities to understand how people interact with a place. However, it is not enoug…
