Coherent Rayleigh Scattering

Author(s)
J H. Grinstead, P F. Barker
Nonresonant four-wave mixing in rarefied gases in which the nonlinearity arises from microscopic velocity perturbations induced by electrostriction has been

Standards for Intravascular Brachytherapy Dosimetry

Author(s)
Christopher G. Soares
The dosimetry of intravascular brachytherapy sources is quite difficult due to the small size of the sources and the close proximity at which measurements are

Polycapillary X-Ray Optics for X-Ray Astronomy

Author(s)
C H. Russell, Andrey Guber, K Kolodziejczak, M Joy, C A. MacDonald, W M. Gibson
High-energy x-ray spectrometry from astronomical sources is difficult due to low flux rates and high background. Polycapillary X-ray optics can be used to

Quantum Teleportation Between Nanomechanical Modes

Author(s)
Lin Tian, Stephen Carr
We study a quantum teleportation scheme between two nanomechanical modes without local interaction. The nanomechanical modes are linearly coupled to and

Accurate Determination of High Energy Gamma-Ray Standards

Author(s)
Ernest G. Kessler Jr., Maynard S. Dewey, R Deslattes, Albert Henins, H G. Borner, M Jentschel, H Lehmann
The extension of accurate crystal diffraction spectroscopy to the 2 to 6 MeV region is described. Gamma-ray standards with a relative uncertainty of (2 to 5)x10

Quantized Rotation of Atoms From Photons With Orbital Angular Momentum

Author(s)
Mikkel Andersen, Changhyun Ryu, Pierre Clade, Vasant Natarajan, A Vaziri, Kristian Helmerson, William D. Phillips
Light can carry two kinds of angular momentum: Spin angular momentum (SAM) associated with its polarization and orbital angular momentum (OAM) associated with
