We present an experimental and theoretical investigation of two-photon direct frequency-comb spectroscopy performed through velocity-selective excitation. In particular, we explore the effect of repetition rate on the [formula] two-photon transitions excited in a rubidium atomic vapor cell. The transitions occur via stepwise excitation through the [formula] states by use of the direct output of an optical frequency comb. Experiments were performed with two different frequency combs, one with a repetition rate of [formula] MHz and one with a repetition rate of [formula] MHz. The experimental spectra are compared to each other and to a theoretical model.

Polarization-analyzed small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is a powerful tool for the study of magnetic morphology with directional sensitivity. Building upon polarized scattering theory, this article presents simplified procedures for the reduction of longitudinally polarized SANS into terms of the three mutually orthogonal magnetic scattering contributions plus a structural contribution. Special emphasis is given to the treatment of anisotropic systems. The meaning and significance of scattering interferences between nuclear and magnetic scattering and between the scattering from magnetic moments projected onto distinct orthogonal axes are discussed in detail. Concise tables summarize the algorithms derived for the most commonly encountered conditions. These …
