Bridge Scaling in Conditioned Henyey-Greenstein Random Walks

Claude Zeller

We study fixed-length bridge paths -- half-space excursions that start and end at a planar boundary -- for three-dimensional random walks with Henyey-Greenstein scattering angles a…

Geometric Realism Without Angular Resolution Structural Classification of Multilayer Kubelka-Munk Theory within Radiative Transport

Claude Zeller

Kubelka-Munk (KM) theory provides a two-flux description of radiative transport in layered scattering and absorbing media. Despite its wide use in the coatings, paper, paint, and t…

First-return statistics in bounded radiative transport: A Motzkin polynomial framework

Claude Zeller, Robert Cordery

A photon entering a scattering medium executes a three-dimensional random walk determined by the Henyey-Greenstein phase function. The photon either reaches the boundary for a firs…

Automatic characterization of boulders on planetary surfaces from high-resolution satellite images

Nils C. Prieur, Brian Amaro, Emiliano Gonzalez +7

Boulders form from a variety of geological processes, which their size, shape, and orientation may help us better understand. Furthermore, they represent potential hazards to space…

Fabrication of a Monolithic 5-Meter Aluminum Reflector for Millimeter-Wavelength Observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background

Tyler Natoli, Bradford Benson, John Carlstrom +9

We have demonstrated the fabrication of a monolithic, 5-meter diameter, aluminum reflector with 17.4 m RMS surface error. The reflector was designed to avoid the problem of pick…
