Holographic DBI-Essence Dark Energy via Power-Law Solution of the Scale Factor
The present work reports a Holographic reconstruction of Dirac–Born–Infeld (DBI)-essence Dark Energy (DE) in a flat FRW universe. The scale factor a(t) is chosen in power law form. We have reconstructed the scalar field and potential and subsequently the equation of state (EoS) parameter ω of the DBI-essence DE. The corresponding plots show increasing scalar field, decaying tension and decaying potential. The reconstructed EoS parameter stays below −1, showing a phantom-like behavior. The stability of the reconstructed DBI-essence DE is investigated through squared speed of sound $v_{s}^{2}$: its negative sign reveals that the holographically reconstructed DBI-essence is classically unstable.

Power Law and Logarithmic Ricci Dark Energy Models in Hořava-Lifshitz Cosmology
In this work, we studied the Power Law and the Logarithmic Entropy Corrected versions of the Ricci Dark Energy (RDE) model in a spatially non-flat universe and in the framework of Hořava-Lifshitz cosmology. For the two cases containing non-interacting and interacting RDE and Dark Matter (DM), we obtained the exact differential equation that determines the evolutionary form of the RDE energy density. Moreover, we obtained the expressions of the deceleration parameter q and, using a parametrization of the equation of state (EoS) parameter ωD given by the relation ωD(z) = ω0+ω1z, we derived the expressions of both ω0 and ω1. We interestingly found that the expression of ω0 is the same for both non-interacting and interacting case. The expression of ω1 for the interacting case has strong dependence from the interacting parameter b2. The parameters derived in this work are done in small redshift approximation and for low redshift expansion of the EoS parameter.

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.

Correspondence between f(G) gravity and holographic dark energy via power-law solution
In this paper, we discuss cosmological application of holographic Dark Energy (HDE) in the framework of f(G) modified gravity. For this purpose, we construct f(G) model with the inclusion of HDE and a well-known power law form of the scale factor a(t). The reconstructed f(G) is found to satisfy a sufficient condition for a realistic modified gravity model. We find quintessence behavior of effective equation of state (EoS) parameter ωDE through energy conditions in this context. Moreover, we observe that the squared speed of sound $v_{s}^{2}$ remains negative, which indicates the instability of HDE f(G) model.

Interacting Ricci dark energy in scalar Gauss-Bonnet gravity
Abstract.This paper reports a study on the cosmological application of interacting Ricci Dark Energy (RDE) density in the scalar Gauss-Bonnet framework. The interacting holographic RDE model has been employed to obtain the equation of state (EoS) in a spatially flat universe. The main results of this paper are that the reconstructed potential of scalar Gauss-Bonnet gravity for the interacting RDE model decays with the evolution of the universe. However, it is an increasing function of the scalar field $ \phi$ . Both the strong and weak energy conditions are violated. A phantom-like behavior of the EoS parameter has been obtained. The effective EoS parameter $ \omega_{eff}$ stays below -1 but tends to -1 with the evolution of the universe. However, it cannot cross the phantom boundary. Finally, the interacting RDE model in Gauss-Bonnet gravity gives accelerated expansion of the universe.

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).

PERFORMANCES OF HIGH PURITY NIOBIUM CAVITIES WITH DIFFERENT GRAIN SIZES
Grain boundaries have for some time been suspected of influencing the performance of RF cavities made from high purity niobium by limiting the temperature dependent BCS surface resistance to a residual resistance because of impurity segregation and by causing field limitations due to flux penetration. We have carried out a comparative study of the RF behavior of 2.2 GHz TM010 cavities of identical shape, fabricated from single crystal niobium, niobium of grain sizes of the order of several cm2 and standard poly-crystalline material. All the cavities were treated with buffered chemical polishing (BCP), post-purified at 1250 C and ''in-situ'' baked at 120 C. This contribution reports about the results of the measurements of the temperature dependence of the surface resistance Rs(T) and the Q0 vs. Eacc behavior at 2 K. From the analysis of the Rs(T) data at low RF fields material parameters such as gap value, mean free path and residual resistance could be extracted. The dependence of the Q-value on RF field was analyzed with respect to the medium field Q-slope, ''Q-drop'' at high fields and the ''quench'' fields. The best performance resulted in a breakdown field of {approx} 165 mT, corresponding to an accelerating gradient of Eaccmore » {approx} 38 MV/m.« less

Hurricane Isabel gives accelerators a severe test
Hurricane Isabel was at category five--the most violent on the Saffir-Simpson scale of hurricane strength--when it began threatening the central Atlantic seaboard of the US. Over the course of several days, precautions against the extreme weather conditions were taken across the Jefferson Lab site in south-east Virginia. On 18 September 2003, when Isabel struck North Carolina's Outer Banks and moved northward, directly across the region around the laboratory, the storm was still quite destructive, albeit considerably reduced in strength. The flood surge and trees felled by wind substantially damaged or even devastated buildings and homes, including many belonging to Jefferson Lab staff members. For the laboratory itself, Isabel delivered an unplanned and severe challenge in another form: a power outage that lasted nearly three-and-a-half days, and which severely tested the robustness of Jefferson Lab's two superconducting machines, the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) and the superconducting radiofrequency ''driver'' accelerator of the laboratory's free-electron laser. Robustness matters greatly for science at a time when microwave superconducting linear accelerators (linacs) are not only being considered, but in some cases already being built for projects such as neutron sources, rare-isotope accelerators, innovative light sources and TeV-scale electron-positron linear colliders. Hurricane Isabel interruptedmore » a several-week-long maintenance shutdown of CEBAF, which serves nuclear and particle physics and represents the world's pioneering large-scale implementation of superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) technology. The racetrack-shaped machine is actually a pair of 500-600 MeV SRF linacs interconnected by recirculation arc beamlines. CEBAF delivers simultaneous beams at up to 6 GeV to three experimental halls. An imminent upgrade will double the energy to 12 GeV and add an extra hall for ''quark confinement'' studies. On a smaller scale, Jefferson Lab's original kilowatt-scale infrared free-electron laser (FEL) is ''driven'' by a high-current cousin of CEBAF, a 70 MeV SRF linac with a high-current injector. The FEL serves multidisciplinary science and technology as the world's highest-average-power source of tunable coherent infrared light. An upgrade to 10 kW is in commissioning--as it was when Isabel began threatening.« less

THE CEBAF ENERGY RECOVERY EXPERIMENT: UPDATE AND FUTURE PLANS ∗
A successful GeV scale energy recovery demonstration with a high ratio of peak-to-injection energies (50:1) was carried out on the CEBAF (Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility) recirculating superconducting linear accelerator in the spring of 2003. To gain a quantitative understanding of the beam behavior through the machine, data was taken to characterize the 6D phase space during the CEBAF-ER (CEBAF with Energy Recovery) experimental run. The transverse emittance of the accelerating and energy recovered beams was measured in several locations to ascertain the beam quality preservation during energy recovery. Measurements also included the RF system’s response to the energy recovery process and transverse beam profile of the energy recovered beam. One of the salient conclusions from the experiment is that the energy recovery process does not contribute significantly to the emittance degradation. The current status of the data analysis will be presented as well as plans for a GeV scale energy recovery experimental run with current doubling.

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.
