Weak-field expansion for processes in a homogeneous background magnetic field
The weak-field expansion of the charged fermion propagator under a uniform magnetic field is studied. Starting from Schwinger's proper-time representation, we express the charged fermion propagator as an infinite series corresponding to different Landau levels. This infinite series is then reorganized according to the powers of the external field strength B. For illustration, we apply this expansion to $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\ensuremath{\gamma}}\ensuremath{\nu}\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}$ and $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\ensuremath{\nu}}\ensuremath{\nu}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ decays, which involve charged fermions in the internal loop. The leading and subleading magnetic-field effects to the above processes are computed.

Model-independent analysis for determining mass splittings of heavy baryons
We study the hyperfine mass differences of heavy hadrons in the heavy quark effect theory. The effects of one-gluon exchange interaction are considered for the heavy mesons and baryons. Based on the known experimental data, we predict the masses of some heavy baryons in a model-independent way.

Mesonic form factors and the Isgur-Wise function on the light front
Within the light-front framework, form factors for P{r_arrow}P and P{r_arrow}V transitions (P denotes a pseudoscalar meson, V a vector meson) due to the valence-quark configuration are calculated directly in the entire physical range of momentum transfer. The behavior of the form factors in the infinite quark mass limit are examined to see if the requirements of heavy-quark symmetry are satisfied. We find that the Bauer-Stech-Wirbel-type light-front wave function fails to give a correct normalization for the Isgur-Wise function at zero recoil in P{r_arrow}V transition. Some of the P{r_arrow}V form factors are found to depend on the recoiling direction of the daughter mesons relative to their parents. Thus the inclusion of the nonvalence contribution arising from quark-pair creation is mandatory in order to ensure that the physical form factors are independent of the recoiling direction. The main feature of the nonvalence contribution is discussed. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}

Charge radii of light and heavy mesons
Abstract. We calculate the electromagnetic (EM) form factors of the pseudoscalar mesons in the light-front framework. Specifically, these form factors are directly extracted from the relevant matrix elements, instead of choosing the Breit frame. The results show that the charge radius of the meson is related to both the first and second longitudinal momentum square derivatives of the momentum distribution function. The static properties of the EM form factors and the heavy quark symmetry of the charge radii are checked analytically in the heavy quark limit. In addition, we use the Gaussian-type wavefunction to obtain the numerical results.

MAGNETIC FIELD MEASUREMENT AND FINE-TUNING OF KICKERS
We have demonstrated an algorithm which promisingly can tune the pulse shape of current and magnetic field of kicker systems in-situ. This algorithm includes gap shimming of the ferrite magnets to adjust the pulse width of the excitation current and changing the resistance of the secondary coils to modify the pulse curvatures of each kicker. With the empirical formula derived from the systematic measurement on the magnetic field and the pulse current in laboratory, we can reduce the pulse-shape difference among the kicker magnets in the injection section of the storage ring, with no need to do anything on the pulsers and high voltage power suppliers. This approach can efficiently increase the injection efficiency which is demanding in the top-up injection mode adopted by many new facilities of synchrotron radiation.

The TBA Prototype Dipole Magnet of SRRC
A rectangular TBA (Triple Bending Achromat) combined function dipole magnet has been designed for the SRRC (Synchrotron Radiation Research Center) storage ring. The magnet design was calculated using the “MAGNET” program and measured by our Hall probe automatic mapping system. The effective lengths with and without shims have been measured. The ΔB/B and ΔG/G have been measured to be comparable with 2-D calculations and the measured effective lengths are checked with a 3-D calculation.

Superconducting wiggler with semi-cold beam duct at Taiwan light source
Abstract A 3.2 T superconducting wiggler with a periodic length of 6 cm and 32 poles was designed and fabricated as an X-ray source. The beam duct of this magnet is a semi-cold, ultra-high vacuum chamber that consists of an aluminum and stainless steel taper. The number of poles in this magnet design is even, to minimize the integral strengths of the multipole components. Two measurement systems—involving room-temperature and cryogenic Hall probes—were set up to measure the field of the superconducting wiggler. A cryogenic plant that supplied liquid helium and nitrogen to the superconducting wiggler has already been established. The performance of magnet construction is good and the commissioning of the superconducting wiggler in the storage ring has been successful. No trim coil compensation on the magnet is required to adjust the electron beam orbit. Furthermore, the electron beams exhibit no loss and remain highly stable after the superconducting wiggler has been quenched.

Experience of the Cryogenic System for Taiwan Light Source
In Taiwan light source a superconductive cavity and five superconductive magnets are installed in the storage ring. The cryogenic system provides liquid helium and liquid nitrogen with stable pressure. Failure events occurred on the components such as expansion turbine, compressor, and frequency inverter during the past years. A supervision system was developed to monitor the status of the cryogenic system and an automatic call out system was built to notify the operators when abnormal condition appears. To shorten the interruption period of liquid helium supply, the dewar keeps stable and continuous supply of liquid helium and the recovery compressor collets the evaporated helium gas from the cryostat for cases of several hours shutdown of the cryogenic system. Humidity, cleanness and helium leak tightness are items necessary to be well controlled before connecting new components or application devices to the cryogenic system. The matching between system cooling capacity and heat load is achieved via adjustment of turbine speed, precooling temperature, compressor speed, and heater power.
