1. 1. Prospects for a Free Electron Laser at the FemtoMAX Beamline

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Johan Holmberg; [2024]
   Keywords : Free Electron Lasers; FEL; synchrotron radiation; MAX IV; FemtoMAX; GENESIS 1.3; XFEL; X-rays; soft X-rays; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : A Free Electron Laser (FEL), is a device that generates extremely coherent and brilliant radiation using electrons accelerated to relativistic velocities in a particle accelerator. The process utilises similar equipment to what is used at a synchrotron source like MAX IV, but in addition there is an interaction between the relativistic electron beam and the generated radiation to achieve an exponential growth in radiation intensity.

3. 2. Quantum Optical Description of High-order Harmonic Generation

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Isabel Moreno; [2024]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : High-order Harmonic Generation (HHG) is a highly non-linear process in which an atom interacts with a strong laser field. The laser field lowers the atomic potential barrier allowing bound electrons to escape into the continuum through tunnel ionization, propagate, and, with some probability, recombine with the parent ion.

4. 3. An anthem for Europe: Comparing historical appropriations of Beethoven's Ode to Joy

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Europastudier

   Author : Dominic Tscherny; [2023]
   Keywords : Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony; political appropriation of music; Žižek’s empty container; historical narrative; political symbolism; European Studies; Languages and Literatures;

   Abstract : Since its composition two centuries ago in 1824, Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony (Ode to Joy) has been heralded the world over not only as a great work of art, but also as a symbol of political importance. In Germany, it was lionised as the embodiment of a national spirit, first during the Franco-Prussian war, then as a prize of the Nazi repertoire; in Rhodesia, it became the national anthem of a far-right white ethno-state, while on the far-left, it occupied a rare position of Western revolutionary music in China.

5. 4. The Overstory: A Blueprint for Cultural Change in the Anthropocene

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för engelska

   Author : Isak Sköld; [2023]
   Keywords : the Anthropocene; Cultural Change; Richard Powers; The Overstory; Trees; Literature; Climate Change Literature; Ecocriticism; Activism; Languages and Literatures;

   Abstract : Within the field of ecocriticism, there is an ongoing discussion about climate change fiction and the capacity for literature to inspire cultural change in relation to the climate crisis of the Anthropocene. Relatively new novels explore the inherent conflict between consumerist features of contemporary human culture and scientific facts regarding human impact on life on Earth. READ MORE

6. 5. Introducing Quantum Computation in Education

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

   Author : Amadeus Hedenskog; [2023]
   Keywords : Quantum computation; Quantum computing; Education;

   Abstract : Quantum Computation is the quest for more efficient technologies. It can in principal be applied to Complex quantum systems, Quantum chemical systems, Cyber-security, Finance and AI. However, the introductory course in Quantum Mechanics at the Luleå University of Technology (F0047T) does not provide an introduction to Quantum Computation. READ MORE
