Holographic reconstruction of f(G) gravity for scale factors pertaining to emergent, logamediate and intermediate scenarios
In this paper, we reconstruct the holographic dark energy in the framework of the f (G) modified theory of gravity, where G is the Gauss-Bonnet invariant. In this context, we choose the infrared cut-off as the Granda-Oliveros cut-off, which is proportional to the Hubble parameter H and its first derivative with respect to the cosmic time t . We reconstruct the f (G) model with the inclusion of HDE and the three well-known forms of the scale factor a(t) , i.e. the emergent, the logamediate and the intermediate scale factors. The reconstructed model as well as equation of state parameter are discussed numerically with the help of graphical representations to explore the accelerated expansion of the universe. Moreover, the stability of the models incorporating all the scale factors is checked through squared speed of sound vs2.

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).

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.

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.

Study of the Beam Breakup Mode in Linear Induction Accelerators for Heavy Ions
A simple theoretical study and numerical estimate is presented for the transverse amplitude growth of a nonrelativistic heavy ion beam in an induction linac, as envisaged for use in commercial power plants, due to the nonregenerative coherent beam breakup mode. An equivalent electrical circuit has been used to represent the accelerating induction modules. Our calculation shows that for the parameters of interest, the beam breakup amplitude for a heavy ion beam grows extremely slowly in the time scales of interest, to magnitudes insignificant for transport purposes. It is concluded that the coherent beam breakup mode does not pose any serious threat to the stability of a high current (kA) heavy ion beam in an induction linac.

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.

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.

Small quadrupole deformation for the dipole bands in 112 In
High spin states in 112 In were investigated using the 100 Mo( 16 O ,p 3n) reaction at 80 MeV. The excited level has been observed up to 5.6 MeV excitation energy and spin ∼20¯ h with the level scheme showing three dipole bands. Polarization and lifetime measurements were carried out for the dipole bands. Tilted axis cranking model calculations were performed for different quasiparticle configurations of this doubly odd nucleus. Comparison of the calculations of the model with the B(M1) transition strengths of the positive- and negative-parity bands firmly established their configurations.

Mechanical prototype of tracking chamber in station 2 in dimuon spectrometer of ALICE
To explore the physics of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collision, a large ion collider experiment (ALICE) [1] is proposed to carry out at large hadron collider (LHC). Forward muon spectrometer (FMS) [2] is included in ALICE to look for the signals of quark gluon plasma (QGP) using dileptonic decay of heavy quarkonia (J=ψ , γ) produced in the collision as a probe. The production of these states will be suppressed in a deconfined medium of QGP which can be estimated from the invariant mass spectrum of dimuonic decay channel. The spectrometer is designed to track down the flight path of the dimuons with the help of five tracking stations from which the opening angle of the pair can be known by reconstruction and extrapolation of their tracks. The momenta of the pairs can be obtained from the deviation of the tracks in a dipole magnetic field. The invariant mass of the pair can be determined from the opening angle and momenta of dimuon pairs. Each of the five tracking stations is equipped with two planes of cathode pad chamber each divided into four quadrants to detect the position of the dimuon passing through them and reconstruct their tracks from their positions. The tracking chambers are designed following the basic feature of a position sensitive multi-wire proportional counter (MWPC) where an anode wire plane is interposed between two cathode planes and a high electric field is maintained near the anode with respect to the cathodes. The chambers are capable of providing X, Y position readout of an event from the charge distribution induced over the cathode planes equipped with pad matrices due to the avalanche produced in the gaseous medium. However, the mechanical design of the large chamber (diameter 2 m) for the second tracking station is a challenging task as it concerns good surface planarity to achieve position resolution better than 100 μm (necessary to meet mass resolution about 100 MeV) as well as minimum usage of material to keep radiation length low (2–3% of X0) in order to minimise the energy loss and scattering of the incident lepton. The calculation was carried out at IPN, Orsay to simulate a full scale quadrant with different design parameters and materials to study its mechanical characteristics [3,4]. In the simulation, various options in material and design aspects were studied to seek an optimum design for the chamber to enhance its mechanical
