Electron Injection in a Young Supernova & Evolution Towards a Supernova Remnant
The blast wave shock in SN 1993J has high sonic and Alfvenic Mach numbers ‐ ideal for ion plasma instabilities which generate plasma waves that energize electrons upon interaction. Plasma in the shock‐circumstellar interface is strongly magnetized, with the field energy density far exceeding that of the relativistic particles. This small “equipartition” for a young type IIb SN contrasts those of older Supernova remnants. Evolution of the radio spectrum of young supernovae can determine the change of the shock compression ratio as the SN ages and through comparison with models of particle acceleration coupled with hydrodynamics, can indicate the injection factor: the fraction of the total electrons that end up in the superthermal tail.

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

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.

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.

Correspondence between f(G) gravity and holographic dark energy via power-law solution
In this paper, we discuss cosmological application of holographic Dark Energy (HDE) in the framework of f(G) modified gravity. For this purpose, we construct f(G) model with the inclusion of HDE and a well-known power law form of the scale factor a(t). The reconstructed f(G) is found to satisfy a sufficient condition for a realistic modified gravity model. We find quintessence behavior of effective equation of state (EoS) parameter ωDE through energy conditions in this context. Moreover, we observe that the squared speed of sound $v_{s}^{2}$ remains negative, which indicates the instability of HDE f(G) model.

New Agegraphic Dark Energy model in chameleon Brans-Dicke cosmology for different forms of the scale factor
In this work, we study the New Agegraphic Dark Energy (NADE) model (which contains the conformal time η as infrared cut-off) in the framework of Brans-Dicke cosmology with chameleon scalar field which is non-minimally coupled to the matter field. Considering interacting Dark Energy and Dark Matter (DM), we calculate some relevant cosmological parameters, i.e. the equation of state (EoS) parameter, the deceleration parameter q and the evolution of the energy density parameter $\varOmega_{D}'$ for different forms of scale factors, i.e. the power-law, the emergent, the intermediate and the logamediate ones, which leads to different expressions of η.

Propagation of Fluctuations in Au+Au Collisions at FAIR energy
Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre, Kolkata India(Dated: August 25, 2014)Event by event ﬂuctuations of particle multiplicities and their ratios are considered to be sensitiveprobes to the exotic phenomena in high energy heavy ion collisions like phase transtion or theoccurence of critical point. These phenomena might take place at diﬀerent time after the collisionbased on fulﬁlling the required conditions at a particular time. Fluctuations are therefore expectedto show non-monotonic behaviour at the of time of occurence of these phenomena. Experimentally,ﬂuctuations are measured at freezeout. In this work, using the hybrid version of the UrQMD eventgenerator, we have investigated the propagation of ﬂuctuations of particle multiplicities, their ratiosand the ratio of total positive and negative charges in AuAu collisions at E

Power-law solution of new agegraphic modified f(R) Horava-Lifshitz gravity
We study the reconstruction scenario of modified gravity with a dynamical dark-energy model filling the universe. In this context, we consider the Modified f(R) Horava-Lifshitz Gravity with a new agegraphic dark-energy model using the power-law form of the scale factor. We construct a modified f(R) Horava-Lifshitz model and check its behavior along its argument. To discuss the accelerated expansion of the universe, some cosmological parameters are discussed as well. The equation-of-state parameter represents the phantom behavior of the universe as well as the statefinder diagnostic pair gives the phantom and quintessence regions. Also, the stability analysis is carried out through squared speed of sound which points out the stable modified f(R) Horava-Lifshitz model except in a small time interval.

Stability of Non-asymptotically Flat Thin-Shell Wormholes in Generalized Dilaton-Axion Gravity
We construct a new type of thin-shell wormhole for non-asymptotically flat charged black holes in generalized dilaton-axion gravity inspired by low-energy string theory using cut-and-paste technique. We have shown that this thin shell wormhole is stable. The most striking feature of our model is that the total amount of exotic matter needed to support the wormhole can be reduced as desired with the suitable choice of the value of a parameter. Various other aspects of thin-shell wormhole are also analyzed.
