Measurements of radiation near an atomic spectral line from the interaction of a 30 GeV electron beam and a long plasma.
Emissions produced or initiated by a 30-GeV electron beam propagating through a approximately 1-m long heat pipe oven containing neutral and partially ionized vapor have been measured near atomic spectral lines in a beam-plasma wakefield experiment. The Cerenkov spatial profile has been studied as a function of oven temperature and pressure, observation wavelength, and ionizing laser intensity and delay. The Cerenkov peak angle is affected by the creation of plasma, and estimates of neutral and plasma density have been extracted. Increases in visible background radiation, consistent with increased plasma recombination emissions due to dissipation of wakefields, were simultaneously measured.

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

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.

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.

Generalized Ricci dark energy in Horava-Lifshitz gravity
In this work, we have considered generalized Ricci dark energy in the Horava-Lifshitz gravity. We have reconstructed Hubble’s parameter in terms of fractional densities. We have viewed the equation-of-state parameter in this situation. Also, we have examined the behavior of the deceleration parameter and investigated the nature of the statefinder diagnostics. The equation-of-state parameter has exhibited quintom-like behavior and from the plot of the deceleration parameter we have observed a transition from decelerating to accelerating phase of the universe.

Density evolution in the new modified Chaplygin gas model
In this paper, we have considered a new modified Chaplygin gas (NMCG) model which interpolates between radiation at an early stage and ΛCDM at a late stage. This model is regarded a unification of dark energy and dark matter (with a general form of matter). We have derived the density parameters from the equation of motion for interaction between dark energy and dark matter. Also, we have studied the evolution of various components of the density parameters.

A study on the role of f(G) gravity on the emergent universe
Motivated by the recent work of Rastkar et al. (in Astrophys. Space Sci. 337:487, 2012) the present study has attempted to study the role of f(G) gravity in the emergent universe. Different energy conditions are examined for the effective energy density and violation of strong energy condition is observed. Also, the behavior of the equation of state parameter is studied for the effective energy density and dark energy density. It is found that the equation of state parameter behaves like phantom in both of the cases.

GENERALIZED SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS IN PRESENCE OF INTERACTING DBI ESSENCE AND OTHER DARK ENERGIES
In the present work we investigated the validity of the generalized second law (GSL) of thermodynamics in the presence of interaction between DBI-essence and other four candidates of dark energy, namely the modified Chaplygin gas, hessence, tachyonic field and new agegraphic dark energy. It has been observed that the GSL breaks down in the presence of the interactions. However, the event horizon remains to be an increasing function of time.

A study on the modified holographic Ricci dark energy in logarithmic f(T) gravity
In this paper, we have studied and investigated the behavior of a modified holographic Ricci dark energy (DE) model interacting with pressureless dark matter (DM) under the theory of modified gravity, dubbed logarithmic f(T) gravity. We have chosen the interaction term between DE and DM in the form Q = 3γHρm and investigated the behavior of the torsion, T, the Hubble parameter, H, the equation of state parameter, ωDE, the energy density of DE, ρDE, and the energy density contribution due to torsion, ρT, as functions of the redshift, z. We have found that T increases with the redshift, z, H increases with the evolution of the universe, ωDE has a quintessence-like behavior, and both energy densities increase going from higher to lower redshifts.
