The new physics case for beam-dump experiments with accelerated muon beams by Cesarotti, Cari, Gambhir, Rikab

“…We demonstrate the utility of muon beam-dump experiments for new physics searches at energies from 10 GeV to 5 TeV. We find that, even at low energies like those accessible at staging or demonstrator facilities, it is possible to probe new regions of parameter space for a variety of generic BSM models, including muonphilic, leptophilic, Lμ − Lτ, and dark photon scenarios. …”

Low-profile and end-fire antennas for airborne applications by Chen, Zhuozhu

“…In addition, an H-plane horn antenna exhibiting an ultra-wide bandwidth from 3.4-18 GHz with an antenna thickness of only 5.508 mm is presented. A wideband coaxial-to-waveguide transition is proposed by employing a tapered ridge and metallic posts in order to enhance the bandwidth and to effectively suppress higher-order modes in the waveguide. …”
