Proposal for a one GeV plasma wakefield acceleration experiment at SLAC
Abstract A plasma-based wakefield acceleration experiment E-157 has been approved at SLAC to study acceleration of parts of an SLC bunch by up to 1 GeV/m over a length of 1 m. A single SLC bunch is used to both induce wakefields in the 1 m long plasma and to witness the resulting beam acceleration. The experiment will explore and further develop the techniques that are needed to apply high-gradient plasma wakefield acceleration to large-scale accelerators. The 1 m length of the experiment is about two orders of magnitude larger than for other high gradient plasma wakefield acceleration experiments and the 1 GeV/m accelerating gradient is roughly ten times larger than that achieved with conventional metallic structures. Using existing SLAC facilities, the experiment will study high gradient acceleration at the forefront of advanced accelerator research.

CEBAF-ER: Extending the Frontier of Energy Recovery at Jefferson Lab
A successful GeV scale energy recovery demonstration with a high ratio of peak-to-injection energies (50:1) was recently carried out on the CEBAF (Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility) recirculating superconducting linear accelerator in an effort to address issues related to beam quality preservation in a large scale energy recovery system. To gain a quantitative understanding of the beam behavior through the machine, an intense effort was made to characterize the 6D phase space during the CEBAF-ER (CEBAF with Energy Recovery) experimental run. A scheme was implemented to measure the transverse emittance of the energy recovered beam prior to being sent to the dump, as well as in the injector and in each arc. The emittance provides a figure of merit in this context inasmuch as it characterizes the extent to which beam quality is preserved during energy recovery. In addition to describing the transverse phase space, the momentum spread was measured in the injector and arcs to characterize the longitudinal phase space. Measurements also included the RF system's response to the energy recovery process. And by using a novel technique employing wire scans in conjunction with PMTs (Photomultiplier Tubes) to accurately measure the beam profile at the dump, we can qualitativelymore » characterize beam preservation through the recirculator. One of the salient conclusions from the experiment is that the energy recovery process does not contribute to the emittance degradation since the emittance of the recirculating pass is consistent with that of the accelerating pass.« less

Optimization of the Parameters of a Storage Ring for a High Power XUV Free Electron Laser
In this paper we describe the operation of an XUV high gain FEL operating within a bypass of an electron storage ring, and discuss the implications on storage ring optimization imposed by FEL requirements. It transpires that, in the parameter regime of interest, collective effects within the beam play an important role. For example, intrabeam scattering dilutes the transverse emittance of the beam and the microwave instability increases the momentum spread. Both phenomena reduce the effectiveness of the FEL. A computer code, ZAP, has been written which, for a given lattice design, takes all such effects into consideration and produces a figure of merit for FEL operation for that machine. We show the results of ZAP for several storage ring designs, all optimized for FEL operation, and present a design example of a facility capable of producing coherent radiation at 400 Å with tens of megawatts of peak power.

A Study on Some Special Forms of Holographic Ricci Dark Energy in Fractal Universe
We have considered the modified and the extended holographic Ricci 
dark energy models (MHRDE and EHRDE) in fractal universe. We have assumed a time-like 
fractal profile , where . We have reconstructed the Hubble parameter 
, the energy density, the equations of state parameter and the deceleration parameter for both MHRDE and EHRDE.

Study of Thermodynamic Quantities in Generalized Gravity Theories
In this work, we have studied the thermodynamic quantities like temperature of the universe, heat capacity and squared speed of sound in generalized gravity theories like Brans-Dicke, Hořava-Lifshitz and f(R) gravities. We have considered the universe filled with dark matter and dark energy. Also we have considered the equation of state parameters for open, closed and flat models. We have observed that in all cases the equation of state behaves like quintessence. The temperature and heat capacity of the universe are found to decrease with the expansion of the universe in all cases. In Brans-Dicke and f(R) gravity theories the squared speed of sound is found to exhibit increasing behavior for open, closed and flat models and in Hořava-Lifshitz gravity theory it is found to exhibit decreasing behavior for open and closed models with the evolution of the universe. However, for flat universe, the squared speed of sound remains constant in Hořava-Lifshitz gravity.

Density evolution in the new modified Chaplygin gas model
In this paper, we have considered a new modified Chaplygin gas (NMCG) model which interpolates between radiation at an early stage and ΛCDM at a late stage. This model is regarded a unification of dark energy and dark matter (with a general form of matter). We have derived the density parameters from the equation of motion for interaction between dark energy and dark matter. Also, we have studied the evolution of various components of the density parameters.

High voltage characteristic of large area cathode pad chambers for muon spectrometer of ALICE
AbstractLarge area Cathode Pad Chambers (CPC) with inner and outer radii of 23.7 cm and 117 cm respectively have been fabricated and tested for 2nd Tracking station of Muon Spectrometer of ALICE.The active area of this detector has a radiation length of less than 2 % and the frames are fabricated with Peek GF-30. The anode wire plane consists of 474 anode wires of which 53 % have lengths greater than 1 meter. The separation between the wire plane and the grounded cathode plane is 2.5 mm. The high voltage behaviour of the chamber have been tested under two situations.
With no support below the wires to reduce sagging of long wires.With a G10 strip-support whose dimension is 950 mm × 2 mm × 2.4 mm.
 The High Voltage (HV) tests show that a better stability is achieved when the strip support is implemented. Therefore this solution has been adopted for operation in ALICE.

On the various aspects of interacting Ricci dark energy and tachyonic field
In this letter we considered an interaction between Ricci dark energy and tachyonic field. We investigated the equation of state parameters in presence of the interaction and revealed a quintessence like behavior. Also, we investigated the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics in presence of this interaction and observed that it is broken down under this interaction.
