Stochastic Maxwell-Bloch equations for modeling amplified spontaneous emission

An approach for studying atom-radiation interaction has been developed, associating quantum operators with stochastic variables governed by discrete Heisenberg equations. This framework models general multilevel atomic systems using the paraxial approximation in both single- and multipass configurations. Simulation results for x-ray laser oscillators with parameters of interest are presented. Finally, the stochastic model is efficient to solve, as the required computational resources scale linearly with the number of emitters, and it may be applicable to various other quantum systems.

Fringe field maps for symplectic models of general Cartesian dipoles

We present a framework with which to analyze the effects of magnetic fringe fields. The theory defines the fringe field to be the transition between two regions of nearly constant field, and can incorporate constant multipoles in the magnet body. We then analyze Cartesian dipoles and derive symplectic fringe field maps that are applicable to longitudinal and/or transverse gradient dipoles. We verify the fringe maps with tracking, and show how we incorporated the theory into the tracking code ELEGANT. The resulting elements and several supporting scripts are now available for users, and we conclude with several predictions relevant to the APS Upgrade project.
