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 ionization of a working gas. At an increased bunch population of 2.5/spl times/10/sup 10/, tunneling ionization of a gas target by an electron beam-an effect which has never been observed before-should be significant. The compactness of our device should prove to be of interest for applications at the SLC and the next generation linear colliders.<<ETX>>

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.

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

A Study on the Interacting Ricci Dark Energy in f(R, T) Gravity
The present work reports study on the interacting Ricci dark energy in a modified gravity theory named f(R, T) gravity. In the specific model f(R, T) = μR + νT we have observed a quintom-like behavior of the equation of state parameter and a transition from matter dominated to dark energy density has been observed through fraction density evolution. The statefinder parameters reveal that the model interpolates between dust and $$\Uplambda\hbox{CDM}$$ΛCDM phases of the universe.

Various aspects of interacting modified holographic Ricci dark energy
The present paper reports various aspects of modified holographic Ricci dark energy interacting with pressureless dark matter in a flat Friedman-Robertson-Walker universe. The cosmological parameters, namely, Hubble parameter, equation of state parameter and deceleration parameter have been studied under this interaction. Statfinder diagnostics has also been studied, where attainment of $$\Uplambda$$ΛCDM phase of the universe under this interaction has been observed. A study on fractional densities has prominently shown the transition from matter dominated to dark energy dominated universe.

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.

Logarithmic Entropy-Corrected Holographic Dark Energy in Hořava-Lifshitz cosmology with Granda-Oliveros cut-off
In this work, we studied the Logarithmic Entropy-Corrected Holographic Dark Energy (LECHDE) model in a spatially non-flat universe and in the framework of Hořava-Lifshitz cosmology. As infrared cutoff of the system we considered the cut-off recently proposed by Granda and Oliveros which contains two terms, one proportional to H2 and one to $\dot{H}$. For the two cases containing non-interacting and interacting Dark Energy (DE) and Dark Matter (DM), we obtained the exact differential equation that determines the evolution of the density parameter. Moreover, we derived the expressions of the deceleration parameter q and, using a parametrization of the equation of state (EoS) parameter ωD of our model as ωD(z)=ω0+ω1z, we derived both the expressions of ω0 and ω1 for both non-interacting and interacting cases. All derivations made in this work are done in small redshift approximation and for low redshift expansion of the equation of state (EoS) parameter.

Interaction Between Tachyon and Hessence (or Hantom) Dark Energies
In this work, we have considered that the universe is filled with tachyon and hessence (or hantom) dark energies. Subsequently we have investigated the interactions between tachyon and hessence (hantom) dark energies and calculated the potentials considering the power law form of the scale factor. It has been revealed that the tachyonic potential always decreases and hessence (or hantom) potential increases with corresponding fields. Furthermore, we have considered a correspondence between the hessence (or hantom) dark energy density and variable modified Chaplygin gas energy density. From this, we have found the expressions of the arbitrary positive constants B0 and C of variable modified Chaplygin gas.
