Beam Loss Due To The Aperture Limitation Resulting From Intrabeam Scattering
Diffusion equation is used to evaluate the beam loss in the presence of aperture limitation resulting from the intrabeam scattering. We discuss the effect of different boundary conditions. Satisfactory beam intensity can be maintained within the proposed RHIC operation time.

FIRST OBSERVATION OF A SNAKE DEPOLARIZING RESONANCE
Using a 104MeV stored polarized proton beam and a full Siberian snake, we recently found evidence for a so-called {open_quotes}snake{close_quotes} depolarizing resonance. A full Siberian snake forces the spin tune {nu}{sub s} to be a half integer. Thus, if the vertical betatron tune {nu}{sub y} is set near a quarter integer, then the {nu}{sub s}=n{plus_minus}2{nu}{sub y} second-order snake resonance can depolarize the beam. Indeed, with a full Siberian snake, we found a deep depolarization dip when {nu}{sub y} was equal to 4.756; moreover, when {nu}{sub y} was changed to 4.781, the deep dip disappeared and the polarization was preserved. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}

Comparison of multipole expansion and exact form of the eddy current field of the AGS Booster
Studies are made on magnetic field representation using a multipole expansion as well as the exact form to calculate the magnetic field produced by eddy currents in the vacuum chamber of the AGS Booster as well as the field produced by three turn correction coils attached to the top and bottom of the vacuum chamber. The multiple representation of the chamber field does not converge to the next field when X > 30mm and limits the particle motion. When the exact form of the chamber field is used, initial amplitudes in the horizontal plane (measured at QF) can be nearly as large as the chamber half aperture. Use of three turn correction coils to compensate the eddy current fields seems to reduce rather than increase the acceptance. 6 figs., 3 tabs.

Snakes and spin rotators for high energy accelerators
Abstract A modification to the continuous family of snake and spin rotators, discovered by Steffen, is discussed. A compact snake configuration is found to have the advantages of requiring a smaller total integrated dipole magnet strength and a smaller transverse displacement for circulating particles. A split snake configuration has the advantage of allowing an entire experimental insertion region to be located between the two halves of the snake. Such configurations could serve as both a snake and a 90° spin rotator for experiments requiring different helicity states. General properties of these snake configurations are discussed.

Design and fabrication of a multi-purpose Panofsky magnet
A fast, flexible magnet system, consisting of a Panofsky style ferrite picture-frame magnet and pulsed power supply, has been developed. Magnet specifications are: 8 cm /spl times/8 cm aperture, 23 cm length, 500 A pulsed/l60 A DC, and 1 /spl mu/s risetime. Designed for general accelerator physics studies, the magnet may be quickly converted from dipole to quadrupole or sextupole and higher multipole configurations by easily changing winding end terminations. In the quadrupole configuration a field gradient of 0.5 T/m is achieved at 500 A. This magnet has become an important tool for nonlinear beam dynamics experiments at the IUCF Cooler Ring.<<ETX>>

Nucleon magnetic form factors in the cloudy bag model
Abstract The nucleon magnetic moments and magnetic form factors have been calculated in the cloudy bag model. The π NN, π N Δ , γπ form factors and the CM corrections have been taken into account. We obtained very good results for these quantities.

Effect on cosmic microwave background polarization of coupling of quintessence to pseudoscalar formed from the electromagnetic field and its dual.
We present the full set of power spectra of cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization anisotropies due to the coupling between quintessence and pseudoscalar of electromagnetism. This coupling induces a rotation of the polarization plane of the CMB, thus resulting in a nonvanishing B mode and parity-violating TB and EB modes. Using the BOOMERANG data from the flight of 2003, we derive the most stringent constraint on the coupling strength. We find that in some cases the rotation-induced B mode can confuse the hunting for the gravitational lensing-induced B mode.

Nuclear Density-Dependent Effective Coupling Constants in the Mean-Field Theory
It is shown that the equation of state of nuclear matter can be determined within the mean-field theory of $\sigma \omega$ model provided only that the nucleon effective mass curve is given. We use a family of the possible nucleon effective mass curves that reproduce the empirical saturation point in the calculation of the nuclear binding energy curves in order to obtain density-dependent effective coupling constants. The resulting density-dependent coupling constants may be used to study a possible equation of state of nuclear system at high density or neutron matter. Within the constraints used in this paper to $M^*$ of nuclear matter at saturation point and zero density, neutron matter of large incompressibility is strongly bound at high density while soft neutron matter is weakly bound at low density. The study also exhibits the importance of surface vibration modes in the study of nuclear equation of state.

Lagrangian perturbation theory: exact one-loop power spectrum in general dark energy models
Recently, we found that the correction for the Einstein–de Sitter (EdS) assumption on the one-loop matter power spectrum for general dark energy models using the standard perturbation theory is not negligible (Lee et al., arXiv:1407.7325, 2014). Thus, we investigate the same problem by obtaining the exact displacement vector and kernels up to the third order for the general dark energy models in the Lagrangian perturbation theory (LPT). Using these exact solutions, we investigate the present one-loop matter power spectrum in the $$\Lambda $$ΛCDM model with $$\Omega _{m0} = 0.25 (0.3)$$Ωm0=0.25(0.3) to obtain a $$0.2 (0.18)$$0.2(0.18) % error correction compared to that obtained from the EdS assumption for the $$k = 0.1\,\mathrm{h\, Mpc}^{-1}$$k=0.1hMpc-1 mode. If we consider the total matter power spectrum, the correction is only $$0.05 (0.03)$$0.05(0.03) % for the same mode. It means that the EdS assumption is a good approximation for the $$\Lambda $$ΛCDM model in LPT theory. However, one can use this method for general models where the EdS assumption is improper.

Cluster number counts in quintessence models
Abstract Even though the abundance and evolution of clusters have been used to study the cosmologicalparameters includingthe propertiesof darkenergy owing to their puredependenceon the geometryof the Universe and the power spectrum, it is necessary to pay particular attention to the eﬀectsof dark energy on the analysis. We obtain the explicit dark energy dependent rms linear massﬂuctuation σ 8 which is consistent with the CMB normalization with less than 2 % errors for generalconstant dark energy equation of state, ω Q . Thus, we do not have any degeneracy between σ 8 and the matter energy density contrast Ω 0m . When we use the correct value of the critical densitythreshold δ c = 1.58 obtained recently [30, 31] into the cluster number density n calculation in thePress-Schechter (PS) formalism, n increases as compared to the one obtained by using δ c = 1.69by about 60, 80, and 110 % at z = 0, 0.5, and 1, respectively. Thus, PS formalism predictsthe cluster number consistent with both simulation and observed data at the high mass region.We also introduce the improved coeﬃcients of Sheth-Tormen (ST) formalism, which is consistentwith the recently suggested mass function [36]. We found that changing ω
