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.

ALL OPTICAL ACCELERATOR EXPERIMENTS AT LBNL
An overview is presented of the status of laser wakefield acceleration research at the l’OASIS laboratory of the Center for Beam Physics at LBNL. Experiments have been performed on laser driven production of relativistic electron beams from plasmas using a high repetition rate (10 Hz), high power (10 TW) Ti:sapphire (0.8 „m ) laser system. Large amplitude plasma waves have been excited in the self-modulated laser wakefield acceleration regime by tightly focusing (spot diameter 8 „m ) a single high power (up to 10 TW), ultra-short (‚ 50 fs) laser pulse onto a high density (> 1019 cmi 3) pulsed gasjet of length 1.2 mm. Nuclear activation measurements in lead and copper targets indicate the production of electrons with energy in excess of 25 MeV. This result was confirmed by electron distribution measurements using a bending magnet spectrometer. Progress on implementing the colliding pulse laser injection method is also presented. This method is expected to produce low emittance (< 1... mm-mrad), low energy spread (< 1% ), 40 MeV femtosecond duration electron bunches containing 107 electrons/bunch.

Chapter 12: Beam Instabilities
A method and a related electronic device for selecting, from a plurality of candidate video frame sets, a candidate video frame set to be inserted in a video frame slot of a given video content. It comprises obtaining the plurality of candidate video frame sets according to ranking values of a sorting parameter associated with each of the candidate video frame sets, thereby obtaining a list of candidate video frame sets and for each candidate video frame set of the list, determining a processing cost for inserting the candidate video frame set and applying the processing cost for obtaining an updated candidate video frame set ranking value according to the sorting parameter. The list is then sorted according to the updated ranking values of the sorting parameter and a selection of a candidate video frame set of the sorted list according to the updated ranking value.

Hydrogen in materials and vacuum systems : First International wordshop on hydrogen in materials and vacuum systems, Newport News, Virginia 11-13 November 2002
All papers were peer-reviewed. Hydrogen plays a key role in materials, beneficial in some cases, problematic in others. In all such systems a detailed understanding of the hydrogen-based interaction is necessary for control, improvements, and for possible new applications. This hydrogen workshop proceeding incorporates contributions from semi-conducting, normal conducting (metals) and superconducting materials, as well as vacuum communities who deal with the hydrogen-materials issue. The technical areas covered in these proceedings include hydrogen in materials, hydrogen interactions and dynamics in semiconductors, hydrogen adsorption-storage-generation and distribution, hydrogen in niobium, hydrogen in vacuum systems, gaseous hydrogen accelerator structures, and magnetically suspended liquid hydrogen transfer lines.

Validity of the Generalized Second Law of Thermodynamics in the Logamediate and Intermediate Scenarios of the Universe
In this work, we have investigated the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics in logamediate and intermediate scenarios of the universe bounded by the Hubble, apparent, particle and event horizons using and without using first law of thermodynamics. We have observed that the GSL is valid for Hubble, apparent, particle and event horizons of the universe in the logamediate scenario of the universe using first law and without using first law. Similarly the GSL is valid for all horizons in the intermediate scenario of the universe using first law. Also in the intermediate scenario of the universe, the GSL is valid for Hubble, apparent and particle horizons but it breaks down whenever we consider the universe enveloped by the event horizon.

EMERGENT UNIVERSE IN THE CHAMELEON, f(R) AND f(T) GRAVITY THEORIES
In this work, we consider an emergent Universe in generalized gravity theories like the chameleon, f(R) and f(T) gravities. We reconstruct the potential of the chameleon field under the emergent scenario of the Universe and observe its increasing nature with the evolution of the Universe. We reveal that in the emergent Universe scenario, the equation-of-state parameter behaves like quintessence in the case of f(R) gravity and like phantom in the case of f(T) gravity.

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.

Time of flight (TOF) spectrometer for accurate measurement of mass and angular distribution of fission fragments in heavy ion induced fission reactions
Abstract The performance of a dual time of flight (TOF) spectrometer using two 24 cm×10 cm area X – Y position sensitive Multi-Wire Proportional Counters (MWPC) is reported. Good separation of compound nuclear fission channel from elastic, quasi-elastic and non-compound fission channels have been achieved. Time calibration of the spectrometer using a technique, dependent on the detector independence of the mass or kinetic energy distributions gave a three times better mass resolutions compared to the conventional calibration technique using elastically scattered projectiles in a heavy ion induced fission reaction. Detail experimental methods in determining fission fragment mass and angular distribution have been presented and discussed.
