[A] refractive x-ray optics (lenses that transmit and focus x-rays over a particular energy range) offers an inexpensive and much simpler alternative. Our project investigates using refractive lenses to focus soft x-rays in the few kiloelectronvolt to few tens of kiloelectronvolt energy range. Because the x-ray refraction effect is quite weak in a single lens, a series of elements — a compound refractive lens (CRL) — focuses soft x-rays over practical focal lengths, typically 1 m to 2 m. 1, record 1, English, - compound%20refractive%20lens

En optique des rayons X, divers systèmes sont utilisés pour la collimation et la focalisation, tels que miroirs, cristaux courbes et multicouches. Récemment, des lentilles analogues à celles de l'optique visible, appelées CRL(compound refractive lenses) ont été introduites dans le domaine des rayons X. Pour la ligne de faisceau de résonance nucléaire, de telles lentilles servent de collimateurs pour le monochromateur haute résolution jusqu'à une divergence de l'ordre de 1, 5 [microradians]. De plus, les CRL, cristaux courbes et multicouches, peuvent être utilisées pour la focalisation. 2, record 1, French, - lentille%20CRL

The characteristic that distinguishes the particle-beam weapon from other directed energy weapons is the form of energy it propagates. While there are several operating concepts for particle-beam weapons, all such devices generate their destructive power by accelerating sufficient quantities of subatomic particles or atoms to velocities near the speed of light and focusing these particles into a very high-energy beam. The total energy within the beam is the aggregate energy of the rapidly moving particles, each particle having kinetic energy due to its own mass and motion. 5, record 3, English, - particle%20beam%20weapon
