An alternate and fonnally very powerfiil approach to resonance extraction is complex scaling [7, 101. 102. 103. 104. 105. 106 and 107] whereby a new Hamiltonian is solved. In this Hamiltonian, tlie grid s multidimensional coordinate (e.g., x) is multiplied by a complex constant a. The kinetic energy gains a constant complex factor > (1/a )(d /dx )), while the potential needs to be evaluated at points with a complex... 

The process works as follows. From the solution at all grid points the Fourier transform is obtained using FFT, [yi]. Then this is multiplied by 2 Kik/L to obtain the Fourier transform of the derivative. 

This subject has received little attention in the context of pressure vessel bursts. Pittman (1976) studied it using a two-dimensional numerical code. However, his results are inconclusive, because the number of cases he studied was small and because the grid he used was coarse. Baker et al. (1975) recommend, on the basis of experimental results with high explosives, the use of a method described in detail in Section 6.3.3. That is, multiply the volume of the explosion by 2, read the overpressure and impulse from graphs for firee-air bursts, and multiply them by a factor depending on the range. 

Let us obtain this a priori estimate by multiplying equation (51) by and summing over all grid nodes ofw ,. In terms of the inner products the resulting expression can be written as... 

The step that has just been outlined in detail is the most difficult step in the propagation of the wave function. The action with the operator exp —iV R,t)6t/2h) is straightforward as this operator is a local operator in the grid representation and we just multiply the grid representation of the wave function at grid point i by the value of the operator at the same grid point. 

A second major source of computational difficulties associated with uniform prior-prejudice distributions is connected with the extremely fine sampling grids that are needed to avoid aliasing effects in the numerical Fourier synthesis of the modulating factor in (8). To predict the dependence of aliasing effects upon the prior prejudice, we need to examine more closely the way the MaxEnt distribution of scatterers is actually synthesised from the values of the Lagrange multipliers X.

The bottom figure shows a reflectron, which is essentially an electrostatic mirror that is used to time-focus ions of the same mass, but which have different initial energies. This device increases resolution, which can attain several thousand.

The ideal high-throughput analytical technique would be efficient in terms of required resources and would be scalable to accommodate an arbitrarily large number of samples. In addition, this scalability would be such that the dependence of the cost of the equipment to perform the experiments would scale in a less than linear manner as a function of the number of samples that could be studied. The only way to accomplish this is to have one or more aspects of the experimental setup utilize an array-based approach. Array detectors are massively multiplexed versions of single-element detectors composed of a rectangular grid of small detectors. The most commonly encountered examples are CCD cameras, which are used to acquire ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared (IR) photons in a parallel manner. Other examples include IR focal plane arrays (FPAs) for the collection of IR photons and channel electron multipliers for the collection of electrons. 

The detector may be a simple electrometer when using a cylindrical or spherical grid analyser. With the other types, fewer electrons are being collected and an electron multiplier, having much greater sensitivity, is necessary. This consists of a number of dynodes, each of which produces more electrons than it receives. For a measurable current, about 10 to 20 dynodes are required. Alternatively, a multichannel electron multiplier in the focal plane of the analyser can be used to collect simultaneously electrons with a range of energies.
