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.

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

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.

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.

On the various aspects of interacting Ricci dark energy and tachyonic field
In this letter we considered an interaction between Ricci dark energy and tachyonic field. We investigated the equation of state parameters in presence of the interaction and revealed a quintessence like behavior. Also, we investigated the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics in presence of this interaction and observed that it is broken down under this interaction.

On the Dynamics of Dark Energy with Higher Time Derivatives of Hubble Parameter in El-Nabulsi Fractional Action Cosmology
In this work, we discussed a new dark energy density model which contains one term proportional to the Hubble parameter H squared, one to the first and one to second time derivative of the Hubble parameter H based on El-Nabulsi fractional action cosmology (FAC). Some cosmological parameters, like the Hubble parameter, the Equation of State (EoS) parameter ωDE and the deceleration parameter q have been reconstructed and studied. Finally, through a test made using the squared speed of sound $v_{s}^{2}$, the proposed reconstruction model results to be classically unstable.

Interaction between phantom field and modified Chaplygin gas
In this letter, we have considered a flat FRW universe. Instead of considering only one candidate for the dark energy, we have considered the interaction between phantom field and modified Chaplygin gas. It has been shown that the potential of the phantom field increases from a lower value with evolution of the universe. It has been observed that the field has an increasing tendency and the potential has also an increasing tendency with passage of cosmic time. In the evolution of the universe the crossing of w=−1 has been realized by this interacting model.

Systematics of antimagnetic rotation in even–even Cd isotopes
Abstract A model based on classical particle plus rotor has been used to explore the underlying systematics of even–even Cd isotopes and a self consistent picture for the observed behaviors of 106, 108, 110 Cd has been reported. This systematic study also helps to estimate the strengths of particle–hole and hole–hole interactions of this mass region.

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.
