Designs and measurements of gradient dipole magnets for the upgrade of Pohang Light Source
Abstract The compact size of the upgrade of Pohang Light Source (PLS-II) ring implies the use of gradient dipole magnets, with high field quality requirements. The PLS-II ring contains 24 such dipoles. Detailed 2D and 3D physical designs are reported; they include conformal mapping, equivalent 2D compact factor, residues fitting technique and end chamfer in a concise straight line style. According to the field measurement results, a beam based alignment technique for the rms variation reduction was employed. With that, the uniformities for these dipoles can be reduced to less than 2.0E−04, and the rms variation from dipole to dipole can reach 5.82E-04.

350 μm Observations of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies at Intermediate Redshifts
We present 350 μm observations of 36 ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) at intermediate redshifts (0.089 ≤ z ≤ 0.926) using the Submillimeter High Angular Resolution Camera II (SHARC-II) on the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO). In total, 28 sources are detected at S/N ≥ 3, providing the first flux measurements longward of 100 μm for a statistically significant sample of ULIRGs in the redshift range 0.1 ≲ z ≲ 1.0. Combining our 350 μm flux measurements with the existing IRAS 60 and 100 μm data, we fit a single-temperature model to the spectral energy distribution (SED) and thereby estimate dust temperatures and far-IR luminosities. Assuming an emissivity index of β = 1.5, we find a median dust temperature and far-IR luminosity of T_d = 42.8 ± 7.1 K and log(L_(FIR)/L_☉) = 12.2 ± 0.5, respectively. The far-IR-radio correlation observed in local star-forming galaxies is found to hold for ULIRGs in the redshift range 0.1 ≲ z ≲ 0.5, suggesting that the dust in these sources is predominantly heated by starbursts. We compare the far-IR luminosities and dust temperatures derived for dusty galaxy samples at low and high redshifts with our sample of ULIRGs at intermediate redshift. A general L_(FIR)-T_d relation is observed, albeit with significant scatter due to differing selection effects and variations in dust mass and grain properties. The relatively high dust temperatures observed for our sample compared to that of high-z submillimeter-selected starbursts with similar far-IR luminosities suggest that the dominant star formation in ULIRGs at moderate redshifts takes place on smaller spatial scales than is found at higher redshifts.

Unconventional Geometric Quantum Gate in Circuit QED
We propose a scheme to implement an unconventional geometric phase gate in circuit QED, i.e. two superconducting charge qubits inside a superconducting transmission line resonator. The quantum operation depends only on global geometric features, and thus is insensitive to the state of the cavity mode.

Automatic Calibration Method of Voxel Size for Cone-beam 3D-CT Scanning System
For cone-beam three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) scanning system, voxel size is an important indicator to guarantee the accuracy of data analysis and feature measurement based on 3D-CT images. Meanwhile, the voxel size changes with the movement of the rotary table along X-ray direction. In order to realize the automatic calibration of the voxel size, a new easily-implemented method is proposed. According to this method, several projections of a spherical phantom are captured at different imaging positions and the corresponding voxel size values are calculated by non-linear least square fitting. Through these interpolation values, a linear equation is obtained, which reflects the relationship between the rotary table displacement distance from its nominal zero position and the voxel size. Finally, the linear equation is imported into the calibration module of the 3D-CT scanning system, and when the rotary table is moving along X-ray direction, the accurate value of the voxel size is dynamically exported. The experimental results prove that this method meets the requirements of the actual CT scanning system, and has virtues of easy implementation and high accuracy

Dirac versus Weyl fermions in topological insulators: Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomaly in transport phenomena.
Dirac metals (gapless semiconductors) are believed to turn into Weyl metals when perturbations, which break either time reversal symmetry or inversion symmetry, are employed. However, no experimental evidence has been reported for the existence of Weyl fermions in three dimensions. Applying magnetic fields near the topological phase transition from a topological insulator to a band insulator in Bi1-xSbx we observe not only the weak antilocalization phenomenon in magnetoconductivity near zero magnetic fields (B<0.4  T), but also its upturn above 0.4 T only for E//B. This "incompatible" coexistence between weak antilocalization and "negative" magnetoresistivity is attributed to the Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomaly ("topological" E·B term) in the presence of weak antilocalization corrections.

Proceedings of the 2nd Workshop on Flavor Symmetries and Consequences in Accelerators and Cosmology (FLASY12)
Although existing theoretical models generally prefer extremely heavy right-handed neutrinos to generate light neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism, there are several observed phenomena that point to the existence of both keVand eV-scale sterile neutrinos. We present two A4 flavor symmetry models that can accommodate light sterile neutrinos and remain compatible with neutrino data. Higher order seesaw terms and higher-dimensional operators are studied, and the phenomenological implications of light sterile neutrinos on neutrinoless double beta decay are discussed. 1.

Semileptonic decay of B and D ---> K*0 (1430) anti-l nu from QCD sum rule
We calculate B-(s) and D-(s) to K-0(*)(1430) transition form factors, and study semileptonic decays of B-(s) and D-(s)-> K-0(*)(1430)(l) over bar nu based on QCD sum rule. Measuring these semileptonic decays with high statistics will give valuable information on the nature of light scalar mesons.

Spectrum of the charmed and b-flavored mesons in the relativistic potential model
A bstractWe study the bound states of heavy-light quark-antiquark system in the relativistic potential model, where the potential includes the long-distance confinement term, the short-distance Coulomb term and spin-dependent term. The spectrum of B, B*, D, D* and states with higher orbital quantum numbers are obtained. Compared with previous results predicted in the relativistic potential model, the predictions are improved and extended in this work, more theoretical masses are predicted which can be tested in experiment in the future.

Electroweak penguin effects in some Bs0 two-body decays
Using the next-to-leading order low energy effective Hamiltonian for Delta B = 1 transitions, the effects of electroweak penguin operators in some two-body decay modes of B-s(0) meson are estimated in the Standard Model (SM). We find that in B-s(0) --> pi(+)K(-) and B-s(0) --> K+K- decay modes, the electroweak penguin effects are small, while in B-s(0) --> pi(0)((K) over bar(0)), phi (K) over bar->(0), phi phi, the electroweak penguin operators enhance or reduce the pure QCD penguin and tree level contributions by 20%-80% in decay width. We also present the results of CP asymmetries in these B-s(0) decay modes.
