The SeaQuest spectrometer at Fermilab was designed to detect oppositely-charged pairs of muons

This paper presents the first experimental results of an extended interaction oscillator (EIO) based on a pseudospark-sourced electron beam, which produced a peak output power over 38 W at W-band. The advantages of the newly developed device are: 1) transport of the electron beam by the positive-ion focusing channel without the need of an external magnetic field and 2) high interaction impedance and high gain per unit length of the EIO circuit. The experimental results agree well with the 3-D particle-in-cell simulations.

One direct way to identify a gene and its function is a forward genetic approach based on mutation analyses. To accumulate genetic resources for breeding and functional genomics in the tomato, we generated 6,347 lines of an M 2 population with 300 Gy of gamma-ray irradiation in the inbred miniature dwarf variety 'Micro-Tom.' In total, 6,301 M 2 lines were screened based on morphological alteration and brix-aberration, and 237 lines were selected as mutant candidates at the first screening. Subsequent screening of the self-fertilized M 3 and M 4 progeny yielded 24 lines of morphological mutants and 11 lines of aberrant brix mutants. Segregation data suggested that most of the mutant lines had single recessive mutations, with the exception of two lines. The chlorophyll mutation ratio in germinated M 2 seedlings was 0.37% and the actual mutant frequency was 0.5%. The selected mutant lines exhibited a wide range of mutations, including whole plant properties with a severe phenotype, which allowed for more efficient screening of knockout mutants. Three characterized mutants, pale leaf, pink, and short root are also described.

It has been developed to disseminate open access research outputs, expose data about those outputs, and enable the management and persistent access to Strathclyde's intellectual output. The design and simulation of a G-band extended interaction oscillator (EIO) driven by pseudospark-sourced electron beam is presented. The characteristic of the EIO and the pseudospark-based electron beam are studied to enhance the performance of the newly proposed device. The beam-wave interaction of the EIO can be optimized by choosing a suitable pseudospark discharging voltage and by widening the operating voltage region of the EIO circuit. Simulation results show that a peak power over 240W can be achieved at G-band using a pseudospark discharging voltage of 41kV.
