Spectrographs have traditionally suffered from the inability to obtain line intensities, widths, and Doppler shifts over large spatial regions of the Sun quickly because of their narrow instantaneous field of view. This has limited the spectroscopic analysis of rapidly varying solar features like, flares, CME eruptions, coronal jets, and reconnection regions. Imagers, on the other hand, have provided high time resolution images of the full Sun with limited spectral resolution.In this paper we present recent advances in deconvolving spectrally dispersed images obtained through broad slits. We use this new theoretical formulation to examine the effectiveness of various potential observing scenarios, spatial and spectral resolutions, signal to noise ratio, and other instrument characteristics. We test this method on two specific observing scenarios.With the original method developed for the single spectral line case, we first analyze the effect of overlapping spectral lines on the resulting spectral parameters. Second, we determine how well the method performs when given dispersed image input with either three orders (0, +1, -1), or with two orders (0, +1). In both cases a more accurate Gauss error function calculation is employed on the dispersed images. This information will lay the foundation for a new generation of spectral imagers optimized for slitless spectral operation, enabling us to obtain spectral information in transient solar events.

Spectrometers provide our most detailed diagnostics of the solar coronal plasma, and spectral data is routinely used to measure the temperature, density, and flow velocity in coronal features. However, spectrographs suffer from a limited instantaneous field of view (IFOV). Conversely, imaging instruments can provide a relatively large IFOV, but extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) multilayer imaging offers very limited spectral resolution. In this paper, we suggest an instrument concept that combines the large IFOV of...
Measurement of the Polarization of W Bosons with Large Transverse Momenta in W plus jets Events at the LHC
Chatrchyan, S.; et. al. (2011-07-01)
A first measurement of the polarization of W bosons with large transverse momenta in pp collisions is presented. The measurement is based on 36 pb(-1) of data recorded at root s = 7 TeV by the CMS detector at the LHC. The left-handed, right-handed, and longitudinal polarization fractions (f(L), f(R), and f(0), respectively) of W bosons with transverse momenta larger than 50 GeV are determined by using decays to both electrons and muons. The muon final state yields the most precise measurement: (f(L) - f(R))...
Search for nonpointing photons in the diphoton and E-T(miss) final state in root s=7 TeV proton-proton collisions using the ATLAS detector
Aad, G.; et. al. (American Physical Society (APS), 2013-07-01)
A search has been performed for photons originating in the decay of a neutral long-lived particle, exploiting the capabilities of the ATLAS electromagnetic calorimeter to make precise measurements of the flight direction of photons, as well as the calorimeter's excellent time resolution. The search has been made in the diphoton plus missing transverse energy final state, using the full data sample of 4.8 fb(-1) of 7 TeV proton-proton collisions collected in 2011 with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. No excess...
FREQUENCY-DOMAIN MECHANISM EXTRACTION
Sayan, Gönül (1990-10-01)
A time-domain analysis is applied to a frequency-domain technique which recovers the individual frequency characteristics of localized scattering mechanisms from a composite signature with two scattering mechanisms. This technique constructs a matrix which has filter characteristics with similar properties to a physically realizable filter based upon convolution concepts. This similarity is expanded to evaluate the rows of the matrix as filters, as demonstrated in the time domain to provide an alternate int...
Astigmatism correction with an adaptive quadrupole and an expander lens for electron accelerators
Durna, Emre; Sanal, Mustafa Golchan; Yayla, Mahmut Sinan (2019-12-01)
Astigmatism is a type of aberration in beam optics which causes asymmetry in transverse coordinates. This asymmetric beam often shows an elliptical profile instead of circular, which may cause differences between the major and minor ellipse axes diameters and ellipse azimuth angle. In this research work, a novel astigmatism correction system is proposed for electron accelerators with a minimum number of electromagnetic lenses. An adaptive quadrupole lens is designed by coaxially locating two quadrupoles 45 ...
