Three-dimensional model of small signal free-electron lasers
Coherent electron cooling is an ultra-high-bandwidth form of stochastic cooling which utilizes the charge perturbation from Debye screening as a seed for a free-electron laser. The amplified and frequency-modulated signal that results from the free-electron laser process is then used to give an energy-dependent kick on the hadrons in a bunch. In this paper, we present a theoretical description of a high-gain free-electron laser with applications to a complete theoretical description of coherent electron cooling.

RHIC Performance for FY10 200 GeV Au+Au Heavy Ion Run
Since the last successful RHIC Au+Au run in 2007 (Run-7), the RHIC experiments have made numerous detector improvements and upgrades. In order to benefit from the enhanced detector capabilities and to increase the yield of rare events in the acquired heavy ion data a significant increase in luminosity is essential. In Run-7 RHIC achieved an average store luminosity of = 12 × 10 cm−2 s−1 by operating with 103 bunches (out of 111 possible), and by squeezing to β∗ = 0.85 m. This year, Run-10, we achieved = 20 × 10 cm−2 s−1, which put us an order of magnitude above the RHIC design luminosity. To reach these luminosity levels we decreased β∗ to 0.75 m, operated with 111 bunches per ring, and reduced longitudinal and transverse emittances by means of bunched-beam stochastic cooling. In addition we introduced a lattice to suppress intra-beam scattering (IBS) in both RHIC rings, upgraded the RF control system, and separated transition crossing times in the two rings. We present an overview of the changes and the results of Run-10 performance.

Status of R&D energy recovery LINAC at Brookhaven National Laboratory
In this paper we present status and plans for the 20- MeV R&D energy recovery linac (ERL), which is under construction at Collider Accelerator Department at BNL. The facility is based on high current (up to 0.5 A of average current) super-conducting 2.5 MeV RF gun,single-mode super-conducting 5-cell RF linac and about 20-m long return loop with very flexible lattice. The R&D ERL, which is planned for commissioning in early 2009, aims to address many outstanding questions relevant for high current, high brightness energy-recovery linacs.

Transverse Kähler geometry of Sasaki manifolds and toric Sasaki-Einstein manifolds
In this paper we study compact Sasaki manifolds in view of transverse K\"ahler geometry and extend some results in K\"ahler geometry to Sasaki manifolds. In particular we define integral invariants which obstruct the existence of transverse K\"ahler metric with harmonic Chern forms. The integral invariant $f_1$ for the first Chern class case becomes an obstruction to the existence of transverse K\"ahler metric of constant scalar curvature. We prove the existence of transverse K\"ahler-Ricci solitons (or {\it Sasaki-Ricci soliton}) on compact toric Sasaki manifolds whose basic first Chern form of the normal bundle of the Reeb foliation is positive, and in particular the existence of Sasaki-Einstein metrics for compact toric Sasaki manifolds with vanishing $f_1$. We will further show that if $S$ is a compact toric Sasaki manifold such that the basic first Chern class is positive then by deforming the Reeb field we get a Sasaki-Einstein structure on $S$. As an application we obtain irregular toric Sasaki-Einstein metrics on the unit circle bundles of the powers of the anti-canonical bundle of the two-point blow-up of the complex projective plane.

A Monte Carlo model for diffractive dissociation in hadron-hadron collisions at high energies
We present a Monte Carlo generator for single diffractive dissociation in hadron-hadron collisions at high energies. The generator, which is based on some kinematic consideration and involves the minimum of theoretical hypothesis, reproduces the experimental data. Such a generator is useful to study the phenomenology of diffractive processes and to explore important roles of diffractive processes in cosmic ray interaction and propagation in the atmosphere and in interstellar space.

OZI-ALLOWED TWO BODY ϒ DECAYS IN THE 3P0 MODEL WITH THE RELATIVISTIC WAVE FUNCTIONS
We combine the Bethe–Salpeter method with the 3P0 model to describe OZI-allowed two body meson decays. In this combined method, the relativistic wave functions defined in the Salpeter equation show up in the decay amplitude of the 3P0 model automatically. We apply the method to OZI-allowed ϒ(4S, 5S, 6S) two body decays. The results are roughly consistent with the experimental data and the predictions of ϒ(6S) decays are given.

Search for local parity violation with STAR ZDC-SMD
Parity-odd domains are predicted to lead to charge separation of quarks along the orbital momentum of the system created in non-central relativistic heavy ion collisions. A signal consistent with several of the theoretical expectations has been detected by STAR, with a three particle azimuthal correlator which is a -even observable, but still sensitive to the charge separation effect. In this correlator, the first two particles are used to reveal the physics of interest, and the third particle serves as a reference for the reaction plane. In this work, to minimize the non-parity correlation between the third particle and the first two, we utilize the spectator neutrons detected by STAR ZDC-SMDs to define the event plane. The 1st-order event plane thus obtained can also be used to study the global strong parity violation effect, and to provide further systematic checks for this analysis. We report measurements of both -even and -odd observables using the STAR ZDC-SMDs in Au+Au at 200 GeV. The results are presented as a function of collision centrality, particle separation in rapidity and transverse momentum (pT). Systematic checks on the impact from the directed flow will also be discussed.
