MURA 50-MeV Electron AcceleratorGeneral Description and Review. I
General descriptions of the history, construction, and operation of the MURA 50‐MeV electron accelerator are given. In its operation, this accelerator has been used to stack large circulating currents of accelerated particles and to investigate multiturn injection, acceleration processes, resonant effects, and collective instabilities.

Low energy improvements to the Fermilab 400-MeV linear accelerator
Improvements in the Fermilab operating 400-MeV linear accelerator injector are required to achieve the beam intensity and emittance requirement of the Proton Driver design study. It has been determined that these requirements can be achieved by replacing the components in the linac below 10 MeV. An improved H/sup -/ ion source with an electrostatic transport to a two-section radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) accelerator, with the RFQ sections separated by a magnetic five-dimensional phase-space imaging system as used in an earlier Fermilab/SAIC PET Project, and a new 10-MeV drift-tube linac cavity have been studied. It appears possible that an H/sup -/ intensity of 4.5/spl times/10/sup 13/ ions per pulse with an improvement in beam emittance from the present system can be achieved with the proposed changes.

DESIGN OF PROTON LINEAR ACCELERATORS FOR ENERGIES UP TO 300 Mev
Extension of the conventional 2 pi structure for particle acceleration to 200 Mev or higher requires minimization of power losses by optimizing cavity and drift-tube parameters. Using a previously developed method, an optimization of the cavity drift-tube dimensions was made at 200 Mc and at energies of 50, 100, 150, and 200 Mev to give minimum power losses for cylindrical tubes. Drift tubes of other shapes may reduce observed high-energy power losses due to currents in the drift-tube surface. Ellipsoidal tubes appear more efficient than the cylindrical tubes. (D.C.W.)

Holographic dual of the Eguchi-Kawai mechanism
A bstractThe holographic dual of $ \mathcal{N} $ = 2*, D = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory has many features common to 5d CFT. We interpret this as a manifestation of Eguchi-Kawai mechanism.

Manifest SO(N) invariance and S-matrices of three-dimensional N=2,4,8 SYM
An on-shell formalism for the computation of S-matrices of SYM theories in three spacetime dimensions is presented. The framework is a generalization of the spinor-helicity formalism in four dimensions. The formalism is applied to establish the manifest SO(N) covariance of the on-shell superalgebra relevant to N =2,4 and 8 SYM theories in d=3. The results are then used to argue for the SO(N) invariance of the S-matrices of these theories: a claim which is proved explicitly for the four-particle scattering amplitudes. Recursion relations relating tree amplitudes of three-dimensional SYM theories are shown to follow from their four-dimensional counterparts. The results for the four-particle amplitudes are verified by tree-level perturbative computations and a unitarity based construction of the integrand corresponding to the leading perturbative correction is also presented for the N=8 theory. For N=8 SYM, the manifest SO(8) symmetry is used to develop a map between the color-ordered amplitudes of the SYM and superconformal Chern-Simons theories, providing a direct connection between on-shell observables of D2 and M2-brane theories.

Form factors of chiral primary operators at two loops in ABJ(M)
A bstractWe calculate the colour-ordered form factor for chiral primary operators built from J scalar fields of ABJ(M) theory to J scalar final states. We work in the ’t Hooft limit and show that the leading quantum correction is $ \mathcal{O}\left( {{\lambda^2}} \right) $, where λ is the ’t Hooft coupling. We evaluate this leading correction using standard Feynman diagrams and dimensional regularization, and find that the leading divergence is 1/ϵ2 where the spacetime dimension is d = 3 − 2ϵ. We further find that the result respects maximal transcendentality.

Supersymmetric Wilson loops in diverse dimensions
We consider supersymmetric Wilson loopsla Zarembo in planar supersym- metric Yang-Mills theories in diverse dimensions. Using perturbation theory we show that these loops have trivial vacuum expectation values to second order in the 't Hooft coupling. We review the known superspace results which, for specific dimensions, extend this triviality to all orders in the 't Hooft coupling. Using the gauge/gravity correspondence, we construct the explicit dual fun- damental string solutions corresponding to these Wilson loops for the case of circular geometry. We find that the regularized action of these string solutions vanishes. We also generalize the framework of calibrated surfaces to prove the vanishing of the regularized action for loops of general geometry. We propose a possible string-side manifestation of the gauge theory generalized Konishi anomaly in seven dimensions.
