Halo particle confinement in the VLHC using optical stochastic cooling
Beam halo particles following the extreme trajectories near the physical aperture limit radiate Smith-Purcell radiation when moving over a diffraction grating. This grating can be used as a pick-up and a kicker for optical stochastic cooling of the halo particles. In this application cooling would have the effect of slowing down the halo particle diffusion onto the aperture. Cooling efficiency would quickly diminish with the distance from the aperture and would only affect the halo particles. A preliminary analysis of this system is considered.

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.

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.

Propagation of Fluctuations in Au+Au Collisions at FAIR energy
Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre, Kolkata India(Dated: August 25, 2014)Event by event ﬂuctuations of particle multiplicities and their ratios are considered to be sensitiveprobes to the exotic phenomena in high energy heavy ion collisions like phase transtion or theoccurence of critical point. These phenomena might take place at diﬀerent time after the collisionbased on fulﬁlling the required conditions at a particular time. Fluctuations are therefore expectedto show non-monotonic behaviour at the of time of occurence of these phenomena. Experimentally,ﬂuctuations are measured at freezeout. In this work, using the hybrid version of the UrQMD eventgenerator, we have investigated the propagation of ﬂuctuations of particle multiplicities, their ratiosand the ratio of total positive and negative charges in AuAu collisions at E

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.

Tachyonic field interacting with scalar (phantom) field
In this letter, we have considered the universe is filled with the mixture of tachyonic field and scalar or phantom field. If the tachyonic field interacts with scalar or phantom field, the interaction term decays with time and the energy for scalar field is transferred to tachyonic field or the energy for phantom field is transferred to tachyonic field. The tachyonic field and scalar field potentials always decrease, but phantom field potential always increases.

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.
