Design of gridded sheet beam electron gun
A sheet beam gun with spoke grid is designed with EOS [1][2]. The results between with spoke grid and without spoke grid have been compared under the same wiggler magnetic field. When there is spoke grid, the electron beam will have a strong fluctuation in the narrow planar, but will not have great impact in the broad planar.
Theory and Design of Microwave-Tube Simulator Suite
The development of microwave-tube simulator suite (MTSS) is reported. MTSS is an integrated full-featured software package for microwave-tube analysis and design. It includes a friendly user-interface module and three physics simulators. Microwave-tube design environment is the user-interface module, which provides a powerful solid-modeling front end and graphical and computational postprocessing functionality. Electron optics simulator (EOS) is a fully 3-D finite-element design tool for microwave-tube electron guns and collectors. An EOS is used to design gridded guns, multibeam guns, and anisotropic collectors. A high-frequency circuit simulator is an advanced 3-D electromagnetic (EM) simulation tool for RF components, which has two solution methods based on a finite-integration technique and a finite-element method. Beam-wave interaction simulator (BWIS) is a design tool for electron beam and EM-wave interaction in microwave tubes. The 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D multifrequency nonlinear beam-wave interactions for helix traveling-wave tubes have been implemented in BWIS. The architecture, features, theory, and design of MTSS are presented.
Facies and microfacies of slope deposits
Abstract This paper reviews the facies and microfacies of the main types of slope deposits. Lamination and sorting, when preserved, are good evidence for overland flow. Features due to deformation (folds, boudins, coatings and tails due to the rotation of clasts) are associated with the early stages of deformation in earth slides. Other mass-movements such as debris flows, rock avalanches, earth flows, and to a certain extent, dry grain flows may be characterised by similar microscopic facies, typically a poorly sorted, porphyric material. Porosity gives evidence for both liquefaction (debris flows) and frost-induced mass-movement (solifluction). However, this criterion is thought to be irrelevant for fossil deposits owing to the rapidity and scale of post-depositional changes (wetting and drying, freezing and thawing, bioturbation). At present, only a detailed analysis of both the macro- and micromorphological characteristics of the deposits allows an accurate identification of past slope dynamics.
