Radiation from an axial electric dipole with prolate spheroidal metamaterial cloak cover
Exact analytical expressions for the electromagnetic field due to a dipole source located inside and along the axis of symmetry of a prolate spheroid are provided.
Symmetry Properties of Spheroidal Functions With Respect to Their Parameter
Spheroidal wave functions depend on a parameter <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$c$ </tex-math></inline-formula>. Their behavior with respect to changes of sign of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$c$ </tex-math></inline-formula> is investigated, and explicit formulas are provided. Sample applications of the resulting symmetry rules are provided for some electromagnetic scattering problems.
The REX-ISOLDE project
The Radioactive Beam Experiment REX-ISOLDE [1–3] is a pilot experiment at ISOLDE (CERN) testing the new concept of post acceleration of radioactive ion beams by using charge breeding of the ions in a high charge state ion source and the efficient acceleration of the highly charged ions in a short LINAC using modern ion accelerator structures. In order to prepare the ions for the experiments singly charged radioactive ions from the on-line mass separator ISOLDE will be cooled and bunched in a Penning trap, charge bred in an electron beam ion source (EBIS) and finally accelerated in the LINAC. The LINAC consists of a radiofrequency quadrupole (RFQ) accelerator, which accelerates the ions up to 0.3 MeV/u, an interdigital H-type (IH) structure with a final energy between 1.1 and 1.2 MeV/u and three seven gap resonators, which allow the variation of the final energy. With an energy of the radioactive beams between 0.8 MeV/u and 2.2 MeV/u a wide range of experiments in the field of nuclear spectroscopy, astrophysics and solid state physics will be addressed by REX-ISOLDE.
