Design Studies and Optimization of High-Field Nb$_3$Sn Dipole Magnets for a Future Very High Energy PP Collider

High filed accelerator magnets with operating fields of 15-16 T based on the $Nb_3Sn$ superconductor are being considered for the LHC energy upgrade or a future Very High Energy pp Collider. Magnet design studies are being conducted in the U.S., Europe and Asia to explore the limits of the $Nb_3Sn$ accelerator magnet technology while optimizing the magnet design and performance parame-ters, and reducing magnet cost. The first results of these studies performed at Fermilab in the framework of the US-MDP are reported in this paper.

Energy levels, lifetimes and radiative rates for transitions in the bromine isoelectronic sequence La XXIII-Dy XXXII, W XL

Using the multiconfiguration Dirac–Fock method, calculations for the lowest 62 levels of the ([Ar] 3d{sup 10})4s{sup 2}4p{sup 5}, ([Ar] 3d{sup 10})4s{sup 2}4p{sup 3}4d{sup 2}, ([Ar] 3d{sup 10})4s{sup 2}4p{sup 4}4d, ([Ar] 3d{sup 10})4s4p{sup 6}, and ([Ar] 3d{sup 10})4s4p{sup 5}4d configurations are performed for the bromine isoelectronic sequence La XXIII-Dy XXXII, W XL. Results of energy levels, lifetimes, wavelengths, and electric dipole, magnetic dipole, electric quadrupole, and magnetic quadrupole radiative rates are presented. In order to assess the accuracy of results, independent calculations for W XL have been carried out using the many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) method. Comparisons are made with available theoretical results from other calculations and the observed values of the Atomic Spectra Database of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Energy levels are estimated to be accurate to better than 1%, and radiative rates (and lifetimes) are accurate to better than 20% for a majority of strong transitions. These results should be useful in many applications of lanthanide ions related to broad area of research such as applied physics, laser physics and fusion science.

Tip-Enhanced Multipolar Raman Scattering

We record nanoscale chemical images of thiobenzonitrile (TBN)-functionalized plasmonic gold nanocubes via tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS). The spatially averaged optical response is dominated by conventional (dipolar) TERS scattering from TBN but also contains weaker spectral signatures in the 1225-1500 cm-1 region. The weak optical signatures dominate some of the recorded single pixel spectra. We can uniquely assign these Raman forbidden transitions to multipolar Raman scattering, which implicates spatially varying enhanced electric field gradients at plasmonic tip-sample nanojunctions. Specifically, we can assign observations of tip-enhanced electric dipole-magnetic dipole as well as electric dipole-electric quadrupole driven transitions. These signals need to be understood and accounted for in the interpretation of TERS spectral images, particularly in on-going quests aimed at chemical reaction mapping via TERS.

Time-Evolving Chirality Loss in Molecular Photodissociation Monitored by X-ray Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy

In this work, the ultrafast photoinduced chirality loss of 2-iodobutane is studied theoretically by time- and frequency-resolved X-ray circular dichroism (TRXCD) spectroscopy. Following an optical excitation, the iodine atom dissociates from the chiral center, which we capture by quantum non-adiabatic molecular dynamics simulations. At variable time delays after the pump, the resonant X-ray pulse selectively probes the iodine and carbon atom involved in the chiral dissociation through a selected core-to-valence transition. The TRXCD signal at the iodine L 1 edge accurately captures the timing of C–I photodissociation and thereby chirality loss, c.a 70 fs. The strong electric dipole–electric quadrupole (ED–EQ) response makes this signal particularly sensitive to vibronic coherence at the high X-ray regime. At the carbon K-edges, the signals monitor the molecular chirality of the 2-butyl radical photoproduct and the spin state of the iodine atom. The ED–EQ response is masked under the strong electric dipole-magnetic dipole response, making this signal intuitive for the electronic population. The evolution of the core electronic states and its chiral sensitivity is discussed. Overall, the element-specific TRXCD signal provides a detailed picture of molecular dynamics and offers a unique sensitive window into the time-dependent chirality of molecules.

Transversely driven coherent beam oscillations and specifications for high-frequency ESR dipole power supply current ripple

We study coherent transverse beam oscillations in the EIC electron storage ring (ESR), to specify the tolerance for high-frequency ripple of the dipole magnet power supplies. To avoid unacceptable proton emittance growth from the oscillating beam-beam kick from the electrons, the amplitude of these oscillations at the proton betatron frequency needs to be limited to about 1e-4 fraction of the beam size at the interaction point. We show that the oscillations potentially caused by the ESR magnet dipole power supply ripple could be substantial, but still tolerable, if we account for the eddy current shielding in the vacuum chamber.

Non-resonant Raman optical activity from phase-space electronic structure theory

In order to model experimental non-resonant Raman optical activity, chemists must compute a host of second-order response tensors (e.g., the electric-dipole–magnetic-dipole polarizability) and their nuclear derivatives along a set of vibrational modes. While these response functions are almost always computed within a Born–Oppenheimer (BO) framework, here we provide a natural interpretation of the electric-dipole–magnetic-dipole polarizability within phase space electronic structure theory, a beyond-BO model whereby the electronic structure depends on nuclear momentum (P) in addition to nuclear position (R). By coupling to nuclear momentum, phase space electronic structure theory is able to capture the asymmetric response of the electronic properties to an external field, in so far as for a vibrating (non-stationary) molecule, $\frac{∂μ}{∂B}$≠$\frac{∂m}{∂F}$, where μ and m are the electrical linear and magnetic dipoles, and F and B are electric and magnetic fields. As an example, for a prototypical methyloxirane molecule, we show that phase space electronic structure theory is able to deliver a reasonably good match with experimental results in a manner that is formally invariant to gauge origin G 0 —provided that one uses a complete basis or, alternatively, gauge invariant atomic orbitals.

Measuring Magnets Transfer Functions in the NSRL Transport Line

The beamline at the NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL) is equipped with a range of magnets, including dipole magnets, dipole corrector magnets, quadrupole magnets, sextupole magnets, and octupole magnets. The magnet transfer function defines the relationship between the power supply currents and the corresponding magnet strengths. This note presents the measurements of the transfer functions for the dipole correctors and quadrupole magnet in the NSRL beamline.

The High Rigidity Spectrometer at the FRIB: Magnet Development Status

This paper presents the 2025 progress of the High Rigidity Spectrometer (HRS) project at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). We report on the construction and testing of the first-article HRS-High Transmission BeamLine (HTBL) magnets. An HTBL dipole magnet has successfully completed cold testing, achieving full magnetic performance without quenching, and is now ready for field mapping at FRIBs offline test bench. HTBL quadrupole triplet coils have been fabricated and tested, with all coils reaching their design currents, some following initial training quenches. Furthermore, the preliminary design of the large-scale, large-aperture SPectrometer Section (SPS) magnets has progressed to determine the baseline of the downstream HRS-SPS subproject in 2025. This includes the introduction of novel magnet designs, such as the sweeper dipole magnet, the sector dipole magnet, and iron-free coil-dominated quadrupole magnets, representing a significant scale breakthrough and a first for FRIB.

Optically Induced Static Magnetization in Metal Halide Perovskite for Spin‐Related Optoelectronics

Abstract Understanding the feasibility to couple semiconducting and magnetic properties in metal halide perovskites through interface design opens new opportunities for creating the next generation spin‐related optoelectronics. In this work, a fundamentally new phenomenon of optically induced magnetization achieved by coupling photoexcited orbital magnetic dipoles with magnetic spins at perovskite/ferromagnetic interface is discovered. The depth‐sensitive polarized neutron reflectometry combined with in situ photoexcitation setup, constitutes key evidence of this novel effect. It is demonstrated that a circularly polarized photoexcitation induces a stable magnetization signal within the depth up to 7.5 nm into the surface of high‐quality perovskite (MAPbBr 3 ) film underneath a ferromagnetic cobalt layer at room temperature. In contrast, a linearly polarized light does not induce any detectable magnetization in the MAPbBr 3 . The observation reveals that photoexcited orbital magnetic dipoles at the surface of perovskite are coupled with the spins of the ferromagnetic atoms at the interface, leading to an optically induced magnetization within the perovskite’s surface. The finding demonstrates that perovskite semiconductor can be bridged with magnetism through optically controllable method at room temperature in this heterojunction design. This provides the new concept of utilizing spin and orbital degrees of freedom in new‐generation spin‐related optoelectronic devices.
