Hamiltonian formalism for space charge dominated beams in a uniform focusing channel
Halo formation for a test particle in a mismatched KV beam is studied. Parametric resonances of the particle Hamiltonian due to envelope modulation are studied with particular emphasis on period 2 resonance which plays dominant role in halo formation. It is shown that the onset of global chaos exhibits a sharp transition when the amplitude of modulation is larger than a critical value which is a function of a single parameter, /spl kappa/, i.e., the ratio of the space charge perveance to the focusing strength.

Design and fabrication of a multi-purpose Panofsky magnet
A fast, flexible magnet system, consisting of a Panofsky style ferrite picture-frame magnet and pulsed power supply, has been developed. Magnet specifications are: 8 cm /spl times/8 cm aperture, 23 cm length, 500 A pulsed/l60 A DC, and 1 /spl mu/s risetime. Designed for general accelerator physics studies, the magnet may be quickly converted from dipole to quadrupole or sextupole and higher multipole configurations by easily changing winding end terminations. In the quadrupole configuration a field gradient of 0.5 T/m is achieved at 500 A. This magnet has become an important tool for nonlinear beam dynamics experiments at the IUCF Cooler Ring.<<ETX>>

FIRST OBSERVATION OF A SNAKE DEPOLARIZING RESONANCE
Using a 104MeV stored polarized proton beam and a full Siberian snake, we recently found evidence for a so-called {open_quotes}snake{close_quotes} depolarizing resonance. A full Siberian snake forces the spin tune {nu}{sub s} to be a half integer. Thus, if the vertical betatron tune {nu}{sub y} is set near a quarter integer, then the {nu}{sub s}=n{plus_minus}2{nu}{sub y} second-order snake resonance can depolarize the beam. Indeed, with a full Siberian snake, we found a deep depolarization dip when {nu}{sub y} was equal to 4.756; moreover, when {nu}{sub y} was changed to 4.781, the deep dip disappeared and the polarization was preserved. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}

Snakes and spin rotators for high energy accelerators
Abstract A modification to the continuous family of snake and spin rotators, discovered by Steffen, is discussed. A compact snake configuration is found to have the advantages of requiring a smaller total integrated dipole magnet strength and a smaller transverse displacement for circulating particles. A split snake configuration has the advantage of allowing an entire experimental insertion region to be located between the two halves of the snake. Such configurations could serve as both a snake and a 90° spin rotator for experiments requiring different helicity states. General properties of these snake configurations are discussed.

Comparison of multipole expansion and exact form of the eddy current field of the AGS Booster
Studies are made on magnetic field representation using a multipole expansion as well as the exact form to calculate the magnetic field produced by eddy currents in the vacuum chamber of the AGS Booster as well as the field produced by three turn correction coils attached to the top and bottom of the vacuum chamber. The multiple representation of the chamber field does not converge to the next field when X > 30mm and limits the particle motion. When the exact form of the chamber field is used, initial amplitudes in the horizontal plane (measured at QF) can be nearly as large as the chamber half aperture. Use of three turn correction coils to compensate the eddy current fields seems to reduce rather than increase the acceptance. 6 figs., 3 tabs.

Mass-Deformed Bagger-Lambert Theory and its BPS Objects
We find a 16-supersymmetric mass-deformed Bagger-Lambert theory with SO(4)xSO(4) global R symmetry. The R charge plays the role of the noncentral term in the superalgebra. This theory has one symmetric vacuum and two inequivalent broken sectors of vacua. Each sector of the broken symmetry has SO(4) geometry. We find the 1/2 BPS domain walls connecting the symmetric phase and any broken phase, and 1/4 BPS supertubelike objects, which may appear as anyonic q-balls in the symmetric phase or vortices in the broken phase. We also discuss mass deformations, which reduce the number of supersymmetries.

On instantons as Kaluza-Klein modes of M5-branes
A bstractInstantons and W-bosons in 5d maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory arise from a circle compactification of the 6d (2,0) theory as Kaluza-Klein modes and winding self-dual strings, respectively. We study an index which counts BPS instantons with electric charges in Coulomb and symmetric phases. We first prove the existence of unique threshold bound state of (noncommutative) U(1) instantons for any instanton number, and also show that charged instantons in the Coulomb phase correctly give the degeneracy of SU(2) self-dual strings. By studying SU(N) self-dual strings in the Coulomb phase, we find novel momentum-carrying degrees on the worldsheet. The total number of these degrees equals the anomaly coefficient of SU(N) (2,0) theory. We finally show that our index can be used to study the symmetric phase of this theory, and provide an interpretation as the superconformal index of the sigma model on instanton moduli space.

Strings and D-branes at high temperature
Abstract The thermodynamics of a gas of strings and D-branes near the Hagedorn transition is described by a coupled set of Boltzmann equations for weakly interacting open and closed long strings. The resulting distributions are dominated by the open string sector, indicating that D-branes grow to fill space at high temperature.

Dark matter growth and baryon bias in an accelerating universe
We investigate the exact analytic solutions for the growths of the dark matter and the baryon in sub-horizon scale. The growth of the dark matter $\delta_{\DM}$ is related to that of the halos. Thus, the exact solution for the growth of the dark matter is important to obtain the proper properties of dark matter halos. However, the dark energy model dependence of $\delta_{\DM}$ is confused with the $\delta_{\DM}$ dependence on $\Omega_{m}^{0}$. Thus, the careful investigation is necessary for the $\delta_{\DM}$ dependence on dark energy models. We also obtain the exact solution of the growth of the baryon $\delta_{\B}$ which can be used to obtain the baryon bias factor $b(a)$. This might be able to be observed in intracluster gas or in Lyman-$\alpha$ clouds. However, $b(a)$ is quite model independent. Recently, we obtained the exact analytic solution for the growing mode solution of the matter linear density perturbation $\delta$ on sub-horizon scale for general dark energy model \cite{SK}. This solution is not same as the well known approximate analytic solution \cite{Waga}. The exact analytic solution shows the same evolution behavior of the growth factor obtained numerically. However, the exact solution is simple and useful for the extension to other models including modified gravity theories. Furthermore, it guides to the fact that the growth index parameter depends on both models $\omega_{\de}$ and $\Omega_{m}^{0}$ and thus we need to be careful for applying the fitting formulae to the general models \cite{WS}. The exact analytic solutions for the growth factor will provide the more accurate tools for the weak lensing, the number density of clusters, their mass and etc.
