Beam Cross Sections Create Mixtures: Improving Feature Localization in Secondary Electron Imaging

This paper demonstrates that modeling secondary electron counts as a mixture distribution, rather than a simple convolution, enables a maximum likelihood estimator that achieves significant sub-pixel edge localization accuracy—reducing root mean-squared error by approximately five-fold compared to conventional methods in both simulations and real helium ion microscopy datasets.

Distortion Is Not Noise: On the Limits of the Kappa Model for Monostatic ISAC

This paper argues that the aggregate κ\kappa distortion model is overly pessimistic for monostatic ISAC sensing because the transmitter can monitor its own waveform, and it derives new PA-aware and PN-aware Cramér–Rao bounds to demonstrate that this approach reveals an irreducible velocity-error floor while significantly overestimating sensing degradation compared to practical scenarios.
