invited

Since the early 60s, with the advent of LASERs, it was understood how they could be used to create pulsed X-ray sources of extraordinary brightness. The peculiar characteristics of these sources have progressively been implemented hand in hand with the evolution of laser technologies. In fact, as the duration of the laser pulses became shorter and consequently higher intensities were reached,...

The report discusses the possibility of effective spatially selective and spatially scanning nuclear fusion based on the interaction of low-energy (several keV) channeling particles with the nuclei of crystall planes or axes.
The physical basis for such a fusion is the formation of a coherent correlated state of these particles at a given location into crystal with the optimal ratio of the...

oral

The report discusses a method for optimizing controlled nuclear fusion in an unstructured target using low-energy particles. The essence of the method is the use of quasi-channeling of such particles in a thin single-crystal film of the graphene type located on the polished surface of this target. Such a motion at an optimum particle energy of 500 eV leads to the formation in this film and in...

Electron linear accelerators are the primary equipment of a modern radiotherapy department. Current research aimed at investigating the possibility of using ultrashort low emittance electron beam pulses for radiation therapy produced by linear electron accelerator at CANDLE, Armenia. High-energy radiation damages genetic material - DNA of cells and thus killing the cancer cells. The study and...

We propose and demonstrate a strategy for the design of highly antimicrobial surfaces with vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VA-CNTs), also known as CNT forests, synthesized by means of an easy, low-cost and fast (~15 min) chemical vapor deposition process (CVD). The resulting VA-CNTs, uniformly covering the underlying growth substrate, are characterized by a high packing density forcing...
