New Results in the Search of Quarks in Matter by the Magnetic Levitation Electrometer
Abstract The results of many runs performed levitating in succession several spheres without opening the levitation chamber show the existence of an additional (magneto-electric) force acting on the sphere. Ignoring this force in the analysis of the data produces “spurious” fractional charges.

Comment on "Chiral symmetry and the intrinsic structure of the nucleon"- by D.B.Leinweber,A.W.Thomas and R.D.Young
Some remarks are presented on a recent paper (Leinweber,Thomas and Young, Phys.Rev.Lett. 86, 5011, 2001). In particular a statement of the above paper on the fact that the ratio between the magnetic moments of proton and neutron should remain constant at -3/2, independent of the change of the quark mass is discussed on the basis of the general parameterization.

Parasitic energy loss in the LEP superconducting cavities
The energy loss of bunches in the LEP superconducting (SC) cavities has been determined by measuring the closed orbit as a function of current with the beam position monitors located at finite dispersion. This method has already been used in earlier experiments to determine the distribution of the longitudinal impedance of different parts of LEP. In the present experiment the energy loss in two straight sections, containing only SC cavities, was compared with that in sections having both copper cavities and SC cavities. The results confirm the impedance calculations for the two types of cavities. The accuracy of the measurements was considerably improved by determining simultaneously the orbits of bunches with different currents. At the same time with these beam-based impedance measurements, the power dissipation was observed directly by local temperature monitors in different elements: the inter-cavity bellows inside the cryostat, the warm intermodule bellows, and ferrite absorbers which were installed in two places to reduce the energy leaking out of cavities. These observations were correlated with the change of cryogenics power consumption, and showed an unexpected dependence of energy loss on beam energy.

The detector safety system for LHC experiments
The Detector Safety System (DSS), currently being developed at CERN under the auspices of the Joint Controls Project (JCOP), will be responsible for assuring the protection of equipment for the four Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments. Thus, the DSS will require a high degree of both availability and reliability. After evaluation of various possible solutions, a prototype is being built based on a redundant Siemens PLC front-end, to which the safety-critical part of the DSS task is delegated. This is then supervised by a PVSS SCADA system via an OPC server. The PLC front-end is capable of running autonomously and of automatically taking predefined protective actions whenever required. The supervisory layer provides the operator with a status display and with limited online reconfiguration capabilities. Configuration of the code running in the PLCs will be completely data driven via the contents of a "configuration database." Thus, the DSS can easily adapt to the different and constantly evolving requirements of the LHC experiments during their construction, commissioning, and exploitation phases.

REAL-TIME MONITORING OF BEAM-BEAM MODES AT LEP
By slightly exciting one of two colliding bunches in LEP, it is possible to enhance the eigenfrequencies of the resonant system of the two bunches coupled by the space charge force. The LEP Qmeter has been adapted to detect, among these excited frequencies, the so called - and - modes, whose distance is proportional to the luminosity. A real time display of these quantities provides the Operators with an effective way of finely optimizing the luminosity.

The Q-Loop : a Function Driven Feedback System for the Betatron Tunes During the LEP Energy Ramp
In normal operation LEP is ramped from injection energy, typically 22 GeV, to energies of over 90 GeV where physics taking takes place. Effective control of the betatron during the ramp is essential to ensure good transmission of stored current. The LEP Q-loop is a feedback system used to control the tunes during the energy ramp. By following a pre-programmed tune function it provides a means of avoiding dangerous resonances and thus beam loss. The basic components the Q-loop will be described, and operational results presented. Emphasis will be given to the problems encountered and the solutions found.
