I have question… why would anyone for any good reason even put a limit on how far back you look into grooming gang cases? Why not twenty or thirty years to be absolutely sure regardless and to be thorough?

My first thought is someone wants something covered up that happened over fifteen years ago.

WGM (Whispering Gallery Mode) and photonic jet (PNJ) coupling describes how an evanescent wave, which is a non-propagating electromagnetic field that decays exponentially from a surface, can be used to excite and manipulate light within a microsphere. This coupling allows for highly sensitive optical manipulation and detection of nanoparticles, as demonstrated in technologies like the "Carousel trap" where particles orbit in the evanescent sensing ring •Evanescent wave generation:An evanescent wave is generated at the interface between two materials when light undergoes total internal reflection at the boundary between a high and low refractive index medium. 




•Coupling to WGM: This evanescent field can be focused and directed to a microsphere, exciting its WGM. The microsphere acts as a resonant cavity, where light circulates within it. 




•Photonic Jet (PNJ) creation:The light that exits the microsphere forms a PNJ—a narrow beam of light with a high-intensity focal spot. When the WGM and PNJ are coupled, the PNJ's properties are enhanced by the resonant whispering gallery modes. 




•Particle manipulation and detection: This WGM-coupled PNJ can then be used to optically manipulate and detect tiny objects like nanoparticles or single molecules. 

◦The intense light of the PNJ can trap particles in a potential well. 

◦Changes in a trapped particle's size, shape, or refractive index shift the WGM resonance, which can be measured to analyze the particle's properties. 




•Applications: This technique is a powerful tool for biosensing and molecular analysis, with potential applications in medical diagnostics, drug discovery, and environmental monitoring. 




Key features
•High sensitivity: The coupling between the evanescent wave and the WGM amplifies the interaction between light and the object, leading to extremely sensitive detection. 




•Carousel Trap: This is a specific application where nanoparticles are attracted to and trapped in the evanescent ring, allowing for efficient transport to the sensing region. 




•Single-molecule manipulation:The technique can be refined to optically trap and detect single molecules, providing detailed information about their physical and chemical properties

Do you really want to be controlled by technology that you can just about grasp the understanding of it? And in saying this it is clear now there is a huge intentional knowledge gap meant to keep you unaware whilst this was all planned in secret for years.

An OAM (orbital angular momentum) beam splitter is an optical device that manipulates light beams based on their OAM properties, often used in optical communication and quantum information. Unlike a standard beam splitter that separates light based on polarization or intensity, an OAM beam splitter can split a beam into multiple beams, each carrying a different OAM state, or it can act as a "parity sorter," directing beams to different outputs based on their OAM "topology". A common implementation uses a Mach–Zehnder interferometer with two Dove prisms, which can be configured to sort OAM beams. Sorting this out

The density functional Kohn–Sham method for semiconductor quantum dots usually assumes that (i) the system is 2D, (ii) only the conduction electrons are considered, with an effective mass m* and their Coulomb interaction screened by the static dielectric function ε of the material in question, and (iii) they move in a harmonic confinement mω02r2. A local approximation is used for the spin-dependent exchange-correlation energy, derived from the functionals for the 2D electron gas [77]. For details see Ref. [4].
Shell structure with main shell fillings (magic numbers) at N = 2, 6, 12, and 20 appears very clearly in the addition energy differences Δ2(N) (see Figure 8). Furthermore, like in free atoms, because of Hund's rule at mid-shell the total spin is maximal. This means that (just like for the spherical jellium model discussed above), any half-filled shell shows as a weak “magic” number, with increased stability. This is clearly seen in Figure 8 where the second derivative of the total energy shows maxima at N = 4 and 9 in addition to the clear peaks at the filled shells, N = 2, 6, and 12. Figure 8 also shows the calculated total spin as a function of the number of electrons in the dot. The self-consistent data appear to agree very nicely with the experimental data. However, we notice that this agreement becomes worse with increasing N, showing very clear deviations between theory and experiment after the third shell, that is, around N = 20. Another series of experimental data was later published by the same group in 2001. In Ref. [78], addition energies for 14 different quantum dot structures, all similar to the device used in the earlier work by Tarucha et al. [3], were analyzed. Strong variations in the spectra were reported, very clearly differing from device to device and seemingly indicating that each of these vertical quantum dots indeed has its own properties: a comparison to the theoretically expected shell structures needs to be made with care. Progress with vertical quantum dots was achieved more recently, where few-electron phenomena could be studied by tunnelingspectroscopy through quantum dots in nanowires [79,80].
The self-consistent electronic structure calculations for quantum dots for some electron numbers showed internal symmetry-breaking of the spin-density [81], leading to a static “spin-density wave” (SDW). Figure 9shows, as an example, the intriguing ground-state spin polarization for a quantum dot with six electrons. For not too small densities of the electron gas, that is, rs ≤ 6a0∗, this quantum dot still has a closed-shell configuration, with S = Sz = 0. This result is obtained from spin-density functional theory (SDFT). The total density obtained by the SDFT method is circularly symmetric, with zero netpolarization (S = 0). However, the spin polarization (which equals the difference between the spin densities n↑ + n↓ normalized by the total density, n↑ + n↓), in standard SDFT breaks the azimuthal symmetry of the confinement, showing a regular spin structure. Figure 9 shows this very clearly for the example of a six-electron quantum dot at rs = 4a0. Both spin-up and spin-down densities exhibit three clear bumps, which are twisted against one another by an angle of π/3. This resembles very much an antiferromagnet-like structure, with alternating up- and down spins, on a ring. Such states were obtained both with the Tanatar–Ceperley [77] and the more recent Attaccalite–Moroni–Gori-Giorgi–Bachelet (AMGB) [83] functionals for exchange-correlation. As the AMGB functional depends explicitly on the spin polarization, there is left no doubt that the SDW states are not simply an artifact of the ad hocapproximation to the correlation energy, which is usually interpolated following the polarization-dependence of the exchange energy [81]. In quasi-1D quantum rings (see Section VII.B), these SDW states become more distinctive, as shown in Figure 10.Image showing antiferromagnetic spin-ordering along the ring. The maximum electron density in the 12-electron ring is at nmax = 0.157a0∗ − 2. From Ref. [84]. Image

The diagram illustrates the process of using laser beams with orbital angular momentum (OAM) to study the photoionization of a gas jet and the resulting photoelectron momentum distribution. The core components and their roles in the experiment are as follows: 
•Input OAM beam (circularly polarized): This is an intense, twisted laser pulse that carries OAM and is used to ionize the atoms in the gas jet. Its spiral phase front is a key characteristic.
•Gas jet: This is the target material, typically an inert gas like argon, which is ionized by the OAM beam.
•Probing diffracted beam (circularly co-polarized): A second, weaker laser beam is used to probe the interaction and alter the momentum of the ionized electrons, which helps to distinguish between different OAM states.
•Photoelectron momentum distribution: The ionized electrons (e-) are ejected and their momentum distribution is measured. This distribution, which appears as a ring or a more complex pattern, provides information about the interaction of the OAM beam with the atoms.
•Output OAM beam (unaffected): The primary OAM beam continues on its path after interacting with the gas jet. The method is considered "nondestructive" to the original pulse, meaning the pulse itself is not significantly altered. 
The experiment is a theoretical and computational approach to study strong-field ionization. It aims to develop a method for determining the magnitude of the OAM carried by a laser beam by analyzing the momentum of the photoelectrons.Image Intense laser ionization expands Einstein's photoelectric effect rules giving a wealth of phenomena widely studied over the last decades. In all cases, so far, photons were assumed to carry one unit of angular momentum. However it is now clear that photons can possess extra angular momentum, the orbital angular momentum (OAM), related to their spatial profile. We show a complete description of photoionization by OAM photons, including new selection rules involving more than one unit of angular momentum. We explore theoretically the interaction of a single electron atom located at the center of an intense ultraviolet beam bearing OAM, envisaging new scenarios for quantum optics.

•Neutral atoms: have an equal number of protons and electrons, making them electrically neutral. 

•To become a cation, an atom must lose one or more electrons, typically from its outermost shell. 

•The loss of these negatively charged electrons leaves the atom with an imbalance of charges, where the number of positive protons is greater than the number of negative electrons. 

•This imbalance creates a net positive charge on the ion, which is then called a cation @Martha_Sheshan @Allibab97431613 @loganrunagain @Shannon21599100 @MikeM2014 @BJamaste @missj75 @realSaltySeaDog @chargeadem @thundertanking @HannqverF @TanngrisnirGoat @treeninja390 @many_oneof @realsnozilla @falsely_flagged @pocketonashirt @SusanGrant60501 @TheDonallegedly @OlgaStaysTuned @BelonTuthk @RealCraigSawyer @bnd2024 @Ghostrider768 @vrotocol @JOSHGOLF77 @DontCallMeDuke @hillbe12 @BLarge @HeartSynthesis @realDevian @JeepAJoJo @ultragish52 @truestormyjoe @Gypsysoulwildh1 @PatriotPraetori @Rofiko00Aulia @cons @pSadButTrueq @Amy445393681 @realDonaldTrump @POTUS @Shorty56167141 @Fred_cpo @kurtcaz1 @DJEMEDIA_ The number of electrons lost determines the magnitude of the positive charge
