Lepton pair decays of the K L meson in the light-front model
We analyze ${K}_{L}$ lepton pair decays of ${K}_{L}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{l}^{+}{l}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ and ${K}_{L}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{l}^{+}{l}^{\ensuremath{-}}{l}^{\ensuremath{'}+}{l}^{\ensuremath{'}\ensuremath{-}}(l,{l}^{\ensuremath{'}}=e,\ensuremath{\mu})$ within the framework of the light-front QCD approach (LFQA). With the ${K}_{L}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\gamma}}^{*}{\ensuremath{\gamma}}^{*}$ form factors evaluated in a model with the LFQA, we calculate the decay branching ratios and find that our results are all consistent with the experimental data. In addition, we study ${K}_{L}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{l}^{+}{l}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ decays. We point out that our prediction for ${K}_{L}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ is about $20%$ smaller than that in chiral perturbation theory. We also discuss whether one could extract the short-distance physics from ${K}_{L}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{\ensuremath{-}}.$

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.

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}

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.

The construction of a 9-pole prototype for SRRC U-10 undulator
A 9-pole undulator prototype with a magnetic period length of 10 cm was designed and constructed to examine the mechanical and magnetic field performance. The hybrid permanent magnet structure was optimized by using 2D "PANDIRA" and 3D "TOSCA" magnetostatic codes. A half period magnet model was also fabricated to verify the magnetic field strength on-axis and the transverse field roll-off within 0.1 % in the good field region of /spl plusmn/10 mm at a minimum gap minimum gap of 22 mm. The end pole configurations, as equipped with either two tunable permanent magnetic rotators or steering coil correctors were designed for minimizing the deviation of the magnetic field strength integrals. The magnet structures were mounted on a 2 meter long C-frame support structure in which the gap could be moved in parallel and phase motion. The field characteristics and measurement results between the adjustable gap undulator (AGU) and the hybrid adjustable phase undulator (APU) were also presented.

Construction and Performance of Superconducting Magnets for Synchrotron Radiation
Two superconducting magnets, one wavelength shifter with a field of 6 T and one wiggler with a field of 3.2 T, were constructed and routinely operated at Taiwan Light Source to generate synchrotron X-rays. Additionally, three short multipole wigglers with the same field of 3.1 T are under construction and will be installed in the three achromatic short straight sections. A warm beam duct with an inner gap of 20 mm and a 1.5 W GM type cryo-cooler were used in the wavelength shifter to achieve cryogen-free operation. For the 3.2 T wiggler, a cold beam duct with an inner gap of 11 mm was kept at 100 K temperature and no trim coil compensation is necessary for its operation. Meanwhile, no beam loss was observed when it was quenched. The design concept, magnetic field quality, and the commissioning results of these magnets will be presented.
