Study of light-cone distribution amplitudes for p-wave heavy mesons
In this paper, a study of light-cone distribution amplitudes for $p$-wave heavy mesons is presented in both general and heavy quark frameworks. Within the light-front approach, the leading twist light-cone distribution amplitudes, ${\ensuremath{\phi}}_{M}(u)$ and their relevant decay constants of heavy scalar, axial-vector, and tensor mesons, ${f}_{M}$, are formulated. The relations of some decay constants can be simplified when the heavy quark limit is taken into account. After fixing the parameters which appear in a Gaussian wave function, the corresponding decay constants are calculated and compared with those of other theoretical approaches. The curves and the first six $\ensuremath{\xi}$ moments of ${\ensuremath{\phi}}_{M}(u)$ are plotted and estimated. These results all endorse the requirements of heavy quark symmetry.

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.

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.

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.

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}

STABILITY STUDY OF SUPERCONDUCTOR MAGNET POWER SUPPLIES AT TLS
In this paper, performance of three power supplies schemes driving the newly-developed Superconducting Wave Length Shifter Magnet at TLS is investigated. Due to the inherent structure of the Superconducting Magnet, the main and two accessory trimming power supplies are physically correlated with each others. Due to the inherent structure, in order to achieve high performance control of the magnet, slew rate control of the main power supply and the proper operation sequence have to be properly managed, otherwise, small current disturbance can occurs, which may degrade the stability of the performance of Superconducting Magnet.

Design, construction and measurement of the SRRC sextupole magnets
The field computation and fabrication of sextupole magnets have been made in this present work for the SRRC storage ring. In addition to the basic sextupole coil, the magnet also provides either a horizontal or vertical dipole correcting coil for steering the beam towards the closed orbit. The two dimensional field distributions of the sextupole and the dipole fields are calculated by the program "MAGNET". The magnetic core is assembled by six stacked sections. The mechanical features of the magnet required to achieve the field requirement are described. Field measurement results reveal that the deviation of the integrated sextupole field is within /spl plusmn/2/spl times/10/sup -3/ in a 30 mm bore radius region. >

Design of mechanical structure and cryostat for IASW superconducting wiggler at NSRRC
An in-achromatic superconducting wiggler (IASW) was successfully constructed and installed at the Taiwan Light Source (TLS) in January 2006. The cryostat with a 30 L liquid nitrogen aluminum reservoir shielding surrounds the helium vessel, which comprises the cold mass and 100 L liquid helium. The helium vessel is suspended by eight suspension links, which are thermally intercepted at 80 K and can be adjusted by applying tension, such that the center of the cold mass does not move during cooled to 4.2 K. A three-layered stainless tube was designed to prevent the transfer port from freezing and the steam- electricity separation system is designed to supply electricity and return the helium gas to prevent freezing of the power feedthrough.

Design and Development of an Elliptically Polarized Undulator of Length 3.5 m for TPS
An elliptically polarized undulator of length 3.5 m and period length 48 mm (EPU48) is designed to fulfil experiments on spin-polarized PES and inelastic scattering at the Taiwan Photon Source (TPS). EPU48 would be used to produce variously polarized light in the soft X-ray spectral domain 0.4-1.5 keV. To achieve efficient mechanical performance and a high quality of photon source, a new manufacturing method by casting is adopted to fabricate a key component of the carriage of the undulator at National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC). We expect this approach to bestow advantages of decreased assembly error, increased rigidity and highly precise properties. Here we describe details of the design of the magnetic circuit and the mechanical design of the EPU48 based on this new concept of engineering construction. INTRODUCTION With electron energy 3 GeV and beam current 500 mA, Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) is a third-generation experimental facility for synchrotron radiation that is undergoing civil-engineering construction. Various insertion devices, including in vacuum undulators (IU), cryogenic permanent magnet undulators (CPMU), elliptically polarized undulators (EPU) and superconducting undulators (SU) that are being considered for installation into the new storage ring in the TPS commission stage, are being discussed and planned so as to equip the machine to produce great brilliance and intense light to fulfil multidisciplinary experimental requirements. For the undulators adopted at TPS, table 1 and figure 1 show the key parameters and spectral performance estimated with Spectra code [1]. Two EPU of Apple-II type providing all polarized modes for radiation in the soft X-ray spectral range will be built internally [2]. To achieve a high quality and a brilliant light source, the demands of a robust and highly precise mechanical carriage become the most significant subject. For the implementation of this device, various aspects include magnetic-force behaviour, the layout of the structural configuration, the assembly and component selection that require thorough consideration. The entire control instrumentation must otherwise be compatible with the EPCIS system. Here we discuss the recent development and design status of two sets of EPU48.

Control system for the superconducting insertion devices of NSRRC
To enhance hard X-ray production in the 1.5 GeV storage ring of NSRRC to serve the rapidly growing X-ray user community in Taiwan, the storage ring are planed to install up to five superconducting insertion devices. A 6 Tesla superconducting wavelength shifter was installed in mid-2002. A 3.2 Tesla superconducting multipole wiggler will be installed in the fall of 2003. The project for the other three multipole wigglers is launched. The control system had been implemented to support the operation of the superconducting insertion devices. The control system play a role to coordinate the operation of the main power supply and the trimming power supplies to charge/discharge the magnet and provide interlock protection for the magnet coils and vacuum ducts. A friendly user interface and various application programs are used to support routine operation. Design considerations and details of the implementation are also presented.
