A PEPPER-POT BASED DEVICE FOR DIAGNOSTICS OF THE SINGLE-SHOT BEAM
In order to measure the peak current and the beam transversal distribution of an ampere-scale microsecond single-pulse ion beam, a novel single shot beam diagnostic device based on pepper-pot technique, which is a combination of Faraday cup and pepper-pot measurement facility, was developed at Peking University (PKU) [1]. It consists of a main Faraday cup with a pepper-pot mask at its bottom, and a Faraday cup array locating 3 mm away from the pepper-pot mask. This device has been tested at the PKU LEBT test bench and the measurement results are consistent with the results acquired by the Allison scanner. By replacing the Faraday cup array with a fluorescent screen and a CCD camera, this device becomes a facility that not only has the ability to measure the total beam current and the beam profile, but also has the capability to measure the beam emittance for CW or pulsed ion beams. Details will be presented in this paper.

DESIGN OF THE TUNING SYSTEM FOR THE HE+ COUPLED RFQ-SFRFQ CAVITY
The CRS (coupled RFQ-SFRFQ) cavity is a new type linac that couples traditional RFQ (radio frequency quadrupole) and SFRFQ (separated function RFQ) electrodes into a single cavity. The overall design of the CRS cavity has been completed and the linac is being manufactured currently. In this paper, we aimed to design a frequency tuning system for the CRS cavity, which will be used to explore the electromagnetic field distribution between RFQ and SFRFQ sections in the cavity. The frequency range, variation of Q value, power consumption and electric field distribution were investigated. Based on the beam dynamic program SFRFQDYNv1.0, we analysed the beam transmission properties of the cavity under the unbalanced electric field distribution. The optimized parameters of the tuning system were obtained.

Potential energy surfaces of actinide and transfermium nuclei from multi-dimensional constraint covariant density functional theories
Multi-dimensional constrained covariant density functional theories were developed recently. In these theories, all shape degrees of freedom β λμ deformations with even μ are allowed, e.g., β 20 , β 22 , β 30 , β 32 , β 40 , β 42 , β 44 , and so on and the CDFT functional can be one of the following four forms: the meson exchange or point-coupling nucleon interactions combined with the non-linear or density-dependent couplings. In this contribution, some applications of these theories are presented. The potential energy surfaces of actinide nuclei in the ( β 20 , β 22 , β 30 ) deformation space are investigated. It is found that besides the octupole deformation, the triaxiality also plays an important role upon the second fission barriers. The non-axial reflection-asymmetric β 32 shape in some transfermium nuclei with N = 150, namely 246 Cm, 248 Cf, 250 Fm, and 252 No are studied.

Study of the Energy Modulated Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source for the Coupled RFQ-SFRFQ Cavity
The coupled RFQ and SFRFQ cavity has been manufactured and tested recently. According to the beam dynamic design, the input He beam within 120° phase width is designed for the cavity to achieve over 98% transmission efficiency. An energy modulated electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source was proposed and simulated. To achieve the 1% energy modulation on the 30keV direct current (DC) beam, two simplified RF power feeding structures for beam bunching were studied. The simulations show positive results as well as the bunched beam is achieved by the energy modulated ECR ion source.

DESIGN OF A NON-INTERCEPTING BEAM DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE USING NEUTRAL BEAM FLUORESCENCE METHOD
The forward neutral beam from deflecting magntic field carries some characteristic properties of high intensity particle beams, such as profile, emittance etc. Therefore a reliable measurement of neutral beam fluorescence can be used to develop a fast and non-interceptive beam diagnostic tool. A non-intercepting beam emittance (profile) monitor using neutral beam fluorescence method has being constructed at Peking University. The monitor is designed to measure the transverse emittance in both directions on a low energy intense proton beams at the ion source (IS) test bench. The neutral particles are produced in the space charge compensation (SCC) zone. The mechanical design has been completed. The implementation, measurement, and comparison to multi-slit singlewire type emittance monitor will be carried out in the near future. The details of design and some preliminary results of measurement will be presented in this paper.

Test of non point‐like behavior of Fermions
We search in measurements from LEP, TRISTAN, CDF, D0 and UA1 for those phenomena beyond the Standard Model where the fundamental particles can exhibit non point‐like behavior. The total and differential cross sections for the reaction e+e− → γγ(γ) measured at center‐of‐mass energies from 55 GeV to 207 GeV are used for a global fit to test the hypothesis of an excited electron and contact interaction induced terms. The best value for the fit exhibits an approximately 5 σ effect for the scale factor of an excited electron of (1/Λ±4)best = −(1.11 ± 0.20) × 10−10 GeV−4 and the scale of contact interaction of (1/Λ4)best = −(4.05 ± 0.73) × 10−13 GeV−4 but with the opposite to the expected in the modified cross section sign. An empirical scheme is discussed to encompass all fermions and bosons in one framework, if these particles would be geometrically extended objects.

Multi-dimensional potential energy surfaces and non-axial octupole correlations in actinide and transfermium nuclei from relativistic mean field models
We have developed multi-dimensional constrained covariant density functional theories (MDC-CDFT) for finite nuclei in which the shape degrees of freedom βλμ with even μ, e.g., β20, β22, β30, β32, β40, etc., can be described simultaneously. The functional can be one of the following four forms: the meson exchange or point-coupling nucleon interactions combined with the non-linear or density-dependent couplings. For the pp channel, either the BCS approach or the Bogoliubov transformation is implemented. The MDC-CDFTs with the BCS approach for the pairing (in the following labelled as MDC-RMF models with RMF standing for "relativistic mean field") have been applied to investigate multi-dimensional potential energy surfaces and the non-axial octupole Y32-correlations in N = 150 isotones. In this contribution we present briefly the formalism of MDC-RMF models and some results from these models. The potential energy surfaces with and without triaxial deformations are compared and it is found that the triaxiality plays an important role upon the second fission barriers of actinide nuclei. In the study of Y32-correlations in N = 150 isotones, it is found that, for 248Cf and 260Fm, β32 > 0.03 and the energy is lowered by the β32 distortion by more than 300 keV; while for 246Cm and 252No, the pocket with respect to β32 is quite shallow.

Putting non Point-like Behavior of Fundamental Particles to Test
We review the experimental limits on those hypothetical interactions where the fundamental particles could exhibit non point-like behavior. In particular we have focused on the QED reaction measuring the differential cross sections for the process $ \EEGG $ at energies around 91 GeV and 209 GeV with data collected from the L3 detector from 1991 to 2001. With a global fit L3 set lower limits at $ 95 % $ CL on a contact interaction energy scale parameter $\Lambda > 1.6 $ TeV, which restricts the characteristic QED size of the interaction region to $ R_{e} < 1.2 \times 10^{-17} $ cm. All the interaction regions are found to be smaller than the Compton wavelength of the fundamental particles. This constraint we use to estimate a lower limit on the internal density of particle-like structure with the de Sitter vacuum core. Some applications of obtained limits to the string and quantum gravity scales are also discussed.

A quantum oscillator model for entropic gravity
In Verlinde's theory of entropic gravity, the internal degrees of freedom are marked by "bits", but the microscopic origin of "bits" is unknown hitherto. To this direction, we adopt the quantum harmonic oscillators to naively model the internal degrees of freedom. In this model, the equipartition relation is modified at the low temperature. The Newton's law and Poisson's equation of gravity are reproduced at small distances, but they receive appreciable corrections at large distances. Geometrization of gravity for this model is explored, resulting in modifications to Einstein equations.

Orbifold Vortex and Super Liouville Theory
We study the nonabelian vortex counting problem on $\mathbb{C}/\mathbb{Z}_p$. At first we calculate vortex partition functions on the orbifold space using localization techniques, then we find how to extract orbifold vortex partitions function from orbifold linear quiver instanton partition functions. Finally, we study the AGT like relation between orbifold SU(2) vortices and $\mathcal{N} = 1$ super Liouville theory in the mixed R/NS sector by fixing the dictionary among parameters in the common hypergeometric functions system.
