Generalized second law of thermodynamics in QCD ghost f(G) gravity
Considering power-law for of scale factor in a flat FRW universe we reported a reconstruction scheme for f(G) gravity based on QCD ghost dark energy. We reconstructed the effective equation of state parameter and observed “quintessence” behavior of the equation of state parameter. Furthermore, considering dynamical apparent horizon as the enveloping horizon of the universe we have observed that the generalized second law of thermodynamics is valid for this reconstructed f(G) gravity.

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).

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.

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.

Abrupt change of rotation axis inAg109
The electromagnetic transition rates for all the high spin levels of the yrast sequence of 109 Ag have been measured. The observed behavior of the magnetic dipole transition rates as a function of angular momentum establishes that there is a sudden change in rotation axis associated with rotational alignment of two neutrons. The projected shell model calculations give a consistent picture of the observed phenomena in 109 Ag.

High voltage characteristic of large area cathode pad chambers for muon spectrometer of ALICE
AbstractLarge area Cathode Pad Chambers (CPC) with inner and outer radii of 23.7 cm and 117 cm respectively have been fabricated and tested for 2nd Tracking station of Muon Spectrometer of ALICE.The active area of this detector has a radiation length of less than 2 % and the frames are fabricated with Peek GF-30. The anode wire plane consists of 474 anode wires of which 53 % have lengths greater than 1 meter. The separation between the wire plane and the grounded cathode plane is 2.5 mm. The high voltage behaviour of the chamber have been tested under two situations.
With no support below the wires to reduce sagging of long wires.With a G10 strip-support whose dimension is 950 mm × 2 mm × 2.4 mm.
 The High Voltage (HV) tests show that a better stability is achieved when the strip support is implemented. Therefore this solution has been adopted for operation in ALICE.

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.

Plasma production for the 50 MeV plasma lens experiment at LBL
The Center for Beam Physics at LBL has constructed a Beam Test Facility (BTF) housing a 50 MeV electron beam transport line, which uses the linac injector from the Advanced Light Source, and a terawatt Ti:Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} laser system. The linac operates at 50 MeV and generates 15 ps long electron bunches containing a charge of up to 2 nC. The measured unnormalized beam emittance is 0.33 mm-mrad. These parameters allow for a comprehensive study of focusing of relativistic electron beams with plasma columns, in both the overdense and underdense regime (adiabatic and tapered lenses). A study of adiabatic and/or tapered lenses requires careful control of plasma density and scale lengths of the plasma. We present experimental results on the production of plasmas through resonant two-photon ionization, with parameters relevant to an upcoming plasma lens experiment.

Transverse envelope dynamics of a 28.5-GeV electron beam in a long plasma.
The transverse dynamics of a 28.5-GeV electron beam propagating in a 1.4 m long, (0-2)x10(14) cm(-3) plasma are studied experimentally in the underdense or blowout regime. The transverse component of the wake field excited by the short electron bunch focuses the bunch, which experiences multiple betatron oscillations as the plasma density is increased. The spot-size variations are observed using optical transition radiation and Cherenkov radiation. In this regime, the behavior of the spot size as a function of the plasma density is well described by a simple beam-envelope model. Dynamic changes of the beam envelope are observed by time resolving the Cherenkov light.
