My work happens to be related to accelerator physics, though I don't know much about free-electron lasers (the subject of the paper). But here's the thing: The paper looks pretty normal, though I don't understand chunks of it. It only has one author, which is a bit weird, but nothing jumps out at me as bunk.
Gosh. I hope she's OK.
- T-A 6y agoThat's an applied physics (aka engineering) paper. It is perfectly possible to be an expert on some narrow applied topic, yet have no understanding at all of the theoretical foundations.
