Interaction Between DBI-Essence and Other Dark Energies
The present work considers interaction between DBI-essence and other candidates of dark energies like modified Chaplygin gas, hessence, tachyonic field, and new agegraphic dark energy. The potentials of the fields have been reconstructed under interaction and their evolutions have been viewed against cosmic time t and scalar field φ. Equation of state parameters have also been obtained. The nature of potentials and the equation of state parameters of the dark energies have been found graphically in presence of interaction (both small and large interaction).

Reciprocal NUT spacetimes
In this paper, we study the Ehlers' transformation (sometimes called gravitational duality rotation) for reciprocal static metrics. First, we introduce the concept of reciprocal metric. We prove a theorem which shows how we can construct a certain new static solution of Einstein field equations using a seed metric. Later, we investigate the family of stationary spacetimes of such reciprocal metrics. The key here is a theorem from Ehlers', which relates any static vacuum solution to a unique stationary metric. The stationary metric has a magnetic charge. The spacetime represents Newman-Unti-Tamburino (NUT) solutions. Since any stationary spacetime can be decomposed into a 1 + 3 time-space decomposition, Einstein field equations for any stationary spacetime can be written in the form of Maxwell's equations for gravitoelectromagnetic fields. Further, we show that this set of equations is invariant under reciprocal transformations. An additional point is that the NUT charge changes the sign. As an instructive example, by starting from the reciprocal Schwarzschild as a spherically symmetric solution and reciprocal Morgan–Morgan disk model as seed metrics we find their corresponding stationary spacetimes. Starting from any static seed metric, performing the reciprocal transformation and by applying an additional Ehlers' transformation we obtain a family of NUT spaces with negative NUT factor (reciprocal NUT factors).

Theoretical constraints on kinetic k-essence dark energy model in El-Nabulsi fractional action cosmology
In this work, we considered an effective scalar field theory described by a Lagrangian with a noncanonical kinetic term, which leads to accelerated expansion in the present Universe and is known as k-essence in the framework of the fractional action cosmology recently introduced by El-Nabulsi. We have chosen a particular ansatz for the scale factor and the scalar field, in which both are described as a power-law of the time, t. We have studied the behavior of some cosmological quantities in other models to obtain some useful information about the model considered. We observed that the equation of state parameter, w, has decreasing behavior and it never crosses the phantom divide line (i.e., w = –1). Studying the statefinder pair {r, s} and {w, w′}, we observed that the model considered is able to obtain the ΛCDM phase of the Universe.

A Dark Energy Model with Higher Order Derivatives of $H$ in the $f(R,T)$ Modified Gravity Model
We consider a model of dark energy (DE) which contains three terms (one proportional to the squared Hubble parameter, one to the first derivative, and one to the second derivative with respect to the cosmic time of the Hubble parameter) in the light of the modified gravity model, with and being two constant parameters. and represent the curvature and torsion scalars, respectively. We found that the Hubble parameter exhibits a decaying behavior until redshifts (when it starts to increase) and the time derivative of the Hubble parameter goes from negative to positive values for different redshifts. The equation of state (EoS) parameter of DE and the effective EoS parameter exhibit a transition from to (showing a quintom-like behavior). We also found that the model considered can attain the late-time accelerated phase of the universe. Using the statefinder parameters and , we derived that the studied model can attain the phase of the universe and can interpolate between dust and phase of the universe. Finally, studying the squared speed of sound , we found that the considered model is classically stable in the earlier stage of the universe but classically unstable in the current stage.

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.

Behaviour of interacting Ricci dark energy in logarithmic f(T) gravity
In the present work we have considered a modified gravity dubbed as "logarithmic $f(T)$ gravity" and investigated the behavior of Ricci dark energy interacting with pressureless dark matter. We have chosen the interaction term in the form $Q\propto H\delta\rho_{m}$ and investigated the behavior of the Hubble parameter $H$ as a function of the redshift $z$. For this reconstructed $H$ we have investigated the behavior of the density of the Ricci dark energy $\rho_{RDE}$ and density contribution due to torsion $\rho_{T}$. All of the said cosmological parameters are seen to have increasing behavior from higher to lower redshifts for all values of $c^{2}$ pertaining to the Ricci dark energy. Subsequently, we observed the equation of state parameter $w_{RDE}$ in this situation. The equation of state parameter is found to behave like phantom for all choices of $c^{2}$ in the Ricci dark energy.

Plasma lens experiments at the final focus test beam
We intend to carry out a series of plasma lens experiments at the Final Focus Test Beam facility at SLAC. These experiments will be the first to study the focusing of particle beams by plasma focusing devices in the parameter regime of interest for high energy colliders, and is expected to lead to plasma lens designs capable of unprecedented spot sizes. Plasma focusing of positron beams will be attempted for the first time. We will study the effects of lens aberrations due to various lens imperfections. Several approaches will be applied to create the plasma required including laser ionization and beam induced tunneling ionization of a working gas—the latter which has never been observed before. The compactness of our device should prove to be of interest for applications at the SLC and the next generation linear colliders.

A Formulation of Transversely Coupled Betatron Stochastic Cooling of Coasting Beams
A formulation of stochastic cooling with coupled degrees of freedom, with emphasis on the tensorial signal suppression phenomenon for transversely coupled betatron stochastic cooling of coasting beams, is provided. The relevant expressions for the damping and diffusion coefficients and the elements of the signal suppression tensor are given in terms of the general cooling interaction harmonics. The formulation is necessarily abstract in order to provide a general framework of quantitative analysis and demands exact knowledge of the nature of the coupling interaction for it to be useful in any particular case.

Design concepts of a storage ring for a high power XUV free electron laser
Abstract We report on the study of a storage ring capable of sustaining an electron beam of the quality required for a high-gain free electron laser in the vacuum ultraviolet and X-ray region. We describe a method for the optimization of the design of the storage ring where several competing and often conflicting requirements come into play. We present an example design of a ring that satisfies the required conditions of beam quality and is able to produce coherent radiation at 400 A with tens of megawatts of peak power.

Role of Lasers in Linear Accelerators
While time-dependent electromagnetic fields using microwave technology have been exploited for decades in acceleration and manipulation of charged particle beams, modern lasers stand poised to be exploited for these purposes with great promise. The advent of compact sub-picosecond terawatt lasers has renewed the interest in phenomena that involve scattering or collective interaction of lasers with relativistic particles for various purposes such as diagnostics and control of beams, ultra-high gradient particle acceleration, laser-driven high brightness particle sources, etc. We will give examples of laser-linac interaction already in use or being contemplated in such areas as TeV-scale gamma-gamma colliders, laser monitoring of beams, laser injectors and prospects for laser acceleration of particles.

On stochastic cooling of bunched beams from fluctuation and kinetic theory
A theoretical formalism for stochastic phase-space cooling of bunched beams in storage rings is developed on the dual basis of classical fluctuation theory and kinetic theory of many-body systems in phase-space. The physics is that of a collection of three-dimensional oscillators coupled via retarded nonconservative interactions determined by an electronic feedback loop. At the heart of the formulation is the existence of several disparate time-scales characterizing the cooling process. Both theoretical approaches describe the cooling process in the form of a Fokker-Planck transport equation in phase-space valid up to second order in the strength and first order in the auto-correlation of the cooling signal. With neglect of the collective correlations induced by the feedback loop, identical expressions are obtained in both cases for the coherent damping and Schottky noise diffusion coefficients. These are expressed in terms of Fourier coefficients in a harmonic decomposition in angle of the generalized nonconservative cooling force written in canonical action-angle variables of the particles in six-dimensional phase-space. The formulation includes nonlinear pick-ups and kickers, multi-dimensional cooling with coupled degrees of freedom and instrinsic electronic noise of the feedback system. The effect of dynamic signal suppression arising from feedback loop induced collective correlations manifests naturally n a consistent solution of kinetic theoretic hierarchy for simple cases. For general situations, the existence of disparate time-scales allows one to use simple fluctuation theoretic results but with transport coefficients dynamically suppressed by factors determined independently from the well-known Vlasov theory. The general coupled-mode matrix for the longitudinal and transverse signal suppression for bunched beams is derived and solved in the limit of no synchrotron band overlap. The distinctive feature of synchrotron band overlap in the bunched beam Schottky signal for a higher bandwidth-system is discussed. The signal suppression matrix describing the tensorial collective response of a coasting beam with coupled transverse cooling is also derived. Comparison of analytic results to a numerical simulation study with 90 pseudo-particles in a model cooling system is presented. Estimates of transverse cooling rates for bunches in a prototype high-energy storage ring with typical large bandwidth feedback systems are provided.
