Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Compact Proton Accelerator in Uhf Band at Kahvelab(JACoW Publishing, 2022) Esen, S.; Adıgüzel, A.; Koçer, O.; Çağlar, A.; Çelebi, E.; Öz, S.; Özcan, V.E.; Karatay, Anıl; Yaman, Fatih; Yılmaz, Hasan ÖnderProton Test Beam at KAHVELab (Kandilli Detector, Accelerator and Instrumentation Laboratory) project aims to design and produce a radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) operating at 800 MHz in Istanbul, Turkey using the local resources. The beamline consists of a proton source, a low energy beam transport (LEBT) line including the beam diagnostic section and the RFQ cavity itself. This RFQ is 4-vane, 1-meter-long cavity to accelerate the 20 keV beam extracted from plasma ion source to 2 MeV. Its engineering prototype is already produced and subjected to mechanical, low power RF and vacuum tests. In this study, the results of the first test production, especially the bead-pull test setup will be discussed. © 2022 Proceedings - Linear Accelerator Conference, LINAC.

E.; Kaya, U.; Türemen, G.; Ünel, N. G.; Yaman, FatihThe 800 MHz RFQ (radio-frequency quadrupole), developed and built at KAHVElab (Kandilli Detector, Accelerator and Instrumentation Laboratory) at Bogazici University in Istanbul, Turkey, has been designed to provide protons that have an energy of 2 MeV within only 1 m length. The RFQ consists of two modules and the test module of RFQ was constructed. The algorithm developed by CERN, based on the measurements generated by the tuner settings estimated through the response matrix [1, 2, 3], has been optimized for a single module and 16 tuners. The desired field consistent with the simulation was obtained by bead-pull measurements. In this study, we present low-power rf measurements and field tuning of the test module. © 2022 Proceedings - Linear Accelerator Conference, LINAC.

A special emphasis is given to the interrogation of fiber Bragg grating arrays for vibration sensing application. Results obtained by different research groups are compared in terms of performance characteristics and future perspectives. Recent progress obtained through our research collaboration are also presented. In particular, the detrimental spectral shadowing effect and multiple reflection crosstalk are analysed and mitigation techniques are proposed. © 2020 IEEE.Conference Object Index Modulation of Transient Grating in Nonlinear Medium(SPIE, 2016) Karakılınç, Özgür Önder; Dinleyici, Mehmet SalihA transient chirped grating structure is formed by beam interferences in nonlinear photonic crystal waveguide. Pulse propagation in nonlinear transient grating media is investigated and its impact on the transmission dynamics is explored. The grating may not be stationary propagating but anharmonically oscillating. Thus, effective modification of the refractive index needs to be evaluated in detail.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Temperature and Pressure Dependence of the Raman Intensity and Frequency of a Soft Mode Near the Tricritical Point in the Ferroelectric Sbsi(Taylor & Francis, 2016) Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit; Duman, SinemWe analyze the pressure dependence of the intensity and the frequency of a soft mode from the Raman and elastic light scattering experiments as reported in the literature close to the ferroelectric - paraelectric transition in SbSI crystal. The Raman intensity of this mode is analyzed as a function of pressure at constant temperatures of 272K (first order transition) and 234K (tricritical or second order transition) according to a power-law formula. Our analysis of the Raman intensity gives closely the mean field values for the order parameter. From our analysis, we also obtain that the Raman frequency (squared) of the soft mode varies linearly with the pressure at constant temperatures close to the ferroelectric - paraelectric transition in SbSI as obtained experimentally.Conference Object Kahve Laboratory Rf Circulator and Transmission Line Project(American Institute of Physics, 2018) Çetinkaya, Hakan; Çağlar, Aslıhan; Çicek, Cihan; Özbey, Aydın; Sunar, Ezgi; Türemen, Görkem; Yıldız, Hüseyin; Yüncü, Alperen; Özcan, Erkcan; Ünel, Gökhan; Yaman, FatihAn 800 MHz RF circulator and transmission line project has recently started at the newly commissioned Kandilli Detector, Accelerator and Instrumentation (KAHVE) Laboratory at the Boǧaziçi University. The aims are to design, build and construct an RF circulator and transmission line in Turkey for high power and high frequency applications. The project consists of 8 transmission line elements: 800 MHz RF generator with 60 kW power (klystron), klystron to waveguide converter, waveguides, E and H bends, 3-port circulator and waveguide to coaxial converter to transmit RF power to a pillbox RF cavity. Design studies and details of the ongoing project will be presented.Conference Object Approximate Best Linear Unbiased Channel Estimation for Multi-Antenna Frequency Selective Channels With Applications To Digital Tv Systems(SPIE, 2004) Özen, Serdar; Pladdy, Christopher; Nerayanuru, Sreenivasa M.; Fimoff, Mark J.; Zoltowski, Michael D.We provide an iterative and a non-iterative channel impulse response (CIR) estimation algorithm for communication receivers with multiple-antenna. Our algorithm is best suited for communication systems which utilize a periodically transmitted training sequence within a continuous stream of information symbols, and the receivers for this particular system are expected work in a severe frequency selective multipath environment with long delay spreads relative to the length of the training sequence. The iterative procedure calculates the (semi-blind) Best Linear Unbiased Estimate (BLUE) of the CIR. The non-iterative version is an approximation to the BLUE CIR estimate, denoted by a-BLUE, achieving almost similar performance, with much lower complexity. Indeed we show that, with reasonable assumptions, a-BLUE channel estimate can be obtained by using a stored copy of a pre-computed matrix in the receiver which enables the use of the initial CIR estimate by the subsequent equalizer tap weight calculator. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the performance of the novel algorithms for 8-VSB ATSC Digital TV system. We also provide a simulation study of the robustness of the a-BLUE algorithm to timing and carrier phase offsets.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Texture Analysis of Polymer Modified Bitumen Images(Carl Hanser Verlag GmbH & Co. KG, 2011) Gümüştekin, Şevket; Topal, Ali; Şengöz, BurakThis study aims to analyze the textural features extracted from microscopic images of elastomeric and plastomeric type polymer modified bitumen (PMB) including five different types and contents of polymers. Fluorescence microscopy was used to capture microscopic images from thin films of PMB samples at different magnification scales (400×, 100×, and 40×). Gabor filters were utilized to extract the textural features of bitumen images. The features were used in three different query tests to quantify their representation capacity. The K nearest neighbor classifier was tested using leave-one-out cross validation. Textural analysis on the captured images provided numerical results that are in compliance with subjective visual tests. © 2011 Carl Hanser Verlag, Munich, Germany.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 10On the Helmholtz Theorem and Its Generalization for Multi-Layers(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2016) Kuştepeli, AlpThe decomposition of a vector field to its curl-free and divergence-free components in terms of a scalar and a vector potential function, which is also considered as the fundamental theorem of vector analysis, is known as the Helmholtz theorem or decomposition. In the literature, it is mentioned that the theorem was previously presented by Stokes, but it is also mentioned that Stokes did not introduce any scalar and vector potentials in his expressions, which causes a contradiction. Therefore, in this article, Stokess and Helmholtzs representations are examined in detail to reveal and emphasize their differences, similarities and important points. The Helmholtz theorem is obtained for all kinds of spaces by using the theory of distributions in a comprehensive and rigorous manner with detailed explanations, which also leads to a new surface version of the Helmholtz theorem or a new surface decomposition, resulting in the canonical form; hence, it is different than the one suggested previously in terms of two scalar functions. The generalized form of the Helmholtz theorem is also presented by employing the same approach when there is a multi-layer on the surface of discontinuity, which also corresponds to the extension of the theorem to fields with singularities of higher order.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Fisher's Linear Discriminant Analysis Based Prediction Using Transient Features of Seismic Events in Coal Mines(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016) Köktürk Güzel, Başak Esin; Karaçalı, BilgeIdentification of seismic activity levels in coal mines is important to avoid accidents such as rockburst. Creating an early warning system that can save lives requires an automated way of predicting. This study proposes a prediction algorithm for the AAIA'16 Data Mining Challenge: Predicting Dangerous Seismic Events in Active Coal Mines that is based on transient activity features along with average indicators evaluated by a Fisher's linear discriminant analysis. Performance evaluation experiments on the training datasets revealed an accuracy level of around 0.9438 while the performance on the test dataset was at a level of 0.9297. These results suggest that the proposed approach achieves high accuracy in predicting danger seismic events while maintaining low complexity.
