Eigenmode Simulations of Third Harmonic Superconducting Accelerating Cavities for FLASH and the European XFEL
The third harmonic nine-cell cavity (3.9 GHz) for FLASH and the European XFEL has been investigated using simulations performed with the computer code CST Microwave Studio. The band structure of monopole, dipole, quadrupole and sextupole modes for an ideal cavity has been studied. The higher order modes for the nine-cell structure are compared with that of the cavity mid-cell. The R/Q of these eigenmodes are calculated.

Higher Order Modes for Beam Diagnostics in Third Harmonic 3.9 GHz Accelerating Module
An international team is currently investigating the best way to use Higher Order Modes (HOM) for beam diagnostics in 3.9 GHz cavities. HOMs are excited by charged particles when passing through an accelerating structure. Third harmonic cavities working at 3.9 GHz have been installed in FLASH to linearize the bunch energy profile. A proof-of-principle of using HOMs for beam monitoring has been made at FLASH in the TESLA 1.3 GHz cavities. Since the wakefields generated in the 3.9 GHz cavities are significantly larger, their impact on the beam should be carefully minimized. Therefore our target is to monitor HOMs and minimize them by aligning the beam on the cavity axis. The difficulty is that, in comparison to the 1.3 GHz cavities, the HOM-spectrum is dense, making it difficult to identify individual modes. Also, most modes propagate through the whole cryomodule containing several cavities, making it difficult to measure local beam properties. In this paper the options for the HOM-based beam position monitors are discussed.

BEAM-BASED HOM STUDY IN THIRD HARMONIC SC CAVITIES FOR BEAM ALIGNMENT AT FLASH*
An electron beam entering an accelerator cavity excites higher order modes (HOM). These are radiated to HOM couplers and subsequently damped. They can also be used to facilitate beam position monitoring. The modes excited by off-axis beams are the focus of this study. Results are presented on the first analysis of HOM dependency on the beam position for the third harmonic cavities at FLASH. The analysis is based on the beampipe and cavity dipole modes. Various analysis methods are used and compared to satisfy the needs emerging from the characteristics of those modes. The electric center of each mode is observed by looking for the minima of the HOM signals of different beam positions. A single electron bunch per RF pulse is used.

Higher order mode spectra and the dependence of localized dipole modes on the transverse beam position in third harmonic superconducting cavities at FLASH
An electron beam entering an accelerating cavity excites a wakefield. This wakefield can be decomposed into a series of multi-poles or modes. The dominant component of the transverse wakefield is dipole. This report summarizes the higher order mode (HOM) signals of the third harmonic cavities of FLASH measured at various stages: transmission measurements in the single cavity test stand at Fermilab, at CMTB (Cryo-Module Test Bench) and at FLASH, and beam-excited measurements at FLASH. Modes in the first two dipole bands and the fifth dipole band have been identified using a global Lorentzian fit technique. The beam-pipe modes at approximately 4 GHz and some modes in the fifth dipole band have been observed as localized modes, while the first two dipole bands, containing some strong coupling cavity modes, propagate. This report also presents the dependence of the localized dipole modes on the transverse beam position. Linear dependence for various modes has been observed. This makes them suitable for beam position diagnostics. These modes, together with some propagating, strong coupling modes, have been considered in the design of a dedicated electronics for beam diagnostics with HOMs for the third harmonic cavities.

Study of Beam Diagnostics with Trapped Modes in Third Harmonic Superconducting Cavities at FLASH
Off-axis beams passing through an accelerating cavity excite dipole modes among other higher order modes (HOMs). These modes have linear dependence on the transverse beam offset from the cavity axis. Therefore they can be used to monitor the beam position within the cavity. The fifth dipole passband of the third harmonic superconducting cavities at FLASH has modes trapped within each cavity and do not propagate through the adjacent beam pipes, while most other cavity modes do. This could enable the beam position measurement in individual cavities. This paper investigates the possibility to use the fifth dipole band for beam alignment in the third harmonic cavity module. Simulations and measurements both with and without beam-excitations are presented. Various analysis methods are used and compared. A good correlation of HOM signals to the beam position is observed.

Higher order modes in third harmonic cavities for XFEL/FLASH
We analyse higher order modes in the 3.9 GHz bunch shaping cavities recently installed in the FLASH facility at DESY. We report on recent experimental results on the frequency spectrum from probe based measurements made at CMTB at DESY. These are compared to those predicted by finite difference and finite element computer codes. This study is focused mainly on the dipole component of the multi-pole expansion of the wakefield. The modes are readily identifiable as single-cavity modes provided the frequencies of these modes are below the cut-off of the inter-connecting beam pipes. The modes above cut-off are coupled to the 4 cavities and are distinct from single cavity modes.

DECOMPOSITION OF THE SEMI-SIMPLE GROUP CONNECTION AND COSMIC STRINGS IN THE LORENTZ SPACETIME
In a previous paper, we addressed the method of Abelian decomposition to the case of SU(N) Yang–Mills theory. Here, we extend the decomposition method further to the general case. With the Cartan–Weyl basis we decompose semisimple group connection and discuss the SO(3,1) group in particular. In terms of the vierbein projection, we propose two two-forms as the U(1) gauge fields in the SO(3,1) gauge theory and show that these two-forms are just the different cosmic string tensors. Meanwhile, these two-forms indicate that the cosmic strings appear naturally in the Lorentz spacetime, i.e. the torsion in the Riemann–Cartan spacetime is not necessary for the cosmic strings.

Inner structure of Gauss-Bonnet-Chern Theorem and the Morse theory
We define a new one-form HA based on the second fundamental tensor , the Gauss–Bonnet–Chern form can be novelly expressed with this one-form. Using the ϕ-mapping theory we find that the Gauss–Bonnet–Chern density can be expressed in terms of the δ-function δ(ϕ) and the relationship between the Gauss–Bonnet–Chern theorem and Hopf–Poincare theorem is given straightforwardly. The topological current of the Gauss–Bonnet–Chern theorem and its topological structure are discussed in details. At last, the Morse theory formula of the Euler characteristic is generalized.

The effect of cluster magnetic field on the Sunyaev–Zel'dovich power spectrum
Precision measurements of the Sunyaev–Zel'dovich (SZ) effect in upcoming blank sky surveys require theoretical understanding of all physical processes with ≳10 per cent effects on the SZ power spectrum. We show that the observed cluster magnetic field could reduce the SZ power spectrum by ∼20 per cent at l∼ 4000, where the SZ power spectrum will be precisely measured by the Sunyaev–Zel'dovich array (SZA) and the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). At smaller scale, this effect is larger and could reach a factor of several. Such an effect must be considered for an unbiased interpretation of the SZ data. Although the magnetic effect on the SZ power spectrum is very similar to that of radiative cooling, it is measurable by multiband cosmic microwave background polarization measurement.

Knots in the non-Abelian Chern-Simons theory
We employ a spinor decomposition of SU(2) connection to study the Chern–Simons form. Our results show that the SU(2) Chern–Simons action yields the link invariants. Then the structure of the knots is discussed with the ϕ-mapping theory.

THE TOPOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF SINGLE VORTEX IN THE FF STATE
In this paper, we study the coexistence of the vortex and the FF state by using the generalized Ginzburg–Landau (GL) functional with the applied magnetic field, and obtain the numeric solutions. Furthermore, we investigate the topological structure of the vortex and find that the property of vortices relies heavily on the modulation q along z-axis. There is no topological vortex when q < qp, and the value is more favorable for the topological vortex. Moreover the magnetic field at the core of the vortex is obtained for the topological vortex.
