Two-photon and two-gluon decays of p-wave heavy quarkonium using a covariant light-front approach
In this paper, a study of two-photon and two-gluon decays in the context of p-wave heavy quarkonia is presented. Within the covariant light-front framework, the annihilation rates of scalar and tensor quarkonium states are derived. In the absence of free parameters in this case, the results for the charmonium decay widths are consistent with the experimental data. However, in comparison to other theoretical calculations, there are large discrepancies in our results regarding bottomonia.

Mesonic form factors and the Isgur-Wise function on the light front
Within the light-front framework, form factors for P{r_arrow}P and P{r_arrow}V transitions (P denotes a pseudoscalar meson, V a vector meson) due to the valence-quark configuration are calculated directly in the entire physical range of momentum transfer. The behavior of the form factors in the infinite quark mass limit are examined to see if the requirements of heavy-quark symmetry are satisfied. We find that the Bauer-Stech-Wirbel-type light-front wave function fails to give a correct normalization for the Isgur-Wise function at zero recoil in P{r_arrow}V transition. Some of the P{r_arrow}V form factors are found to depend on the recoiling direction of the daughter mesons relative to their parents. Thus the inclusion of the nonvalence contribution arising from quark-pair creation is mandatory in order to ensure that the physical form factors are independent of the recoiling direction. The main feature of the nonvalence contribution is discussed. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}

Model-independent analysis for determining mass splittings of heavy baryons
We study the hyperfine mass differences of heavy hadrons in the heavy quark effect theory. The effects of one-gluon exchange interaction are considered for the heavy mesons and baryons. Based on the known experimental data, we predict the masses of some heavy baryons in a model-independent way.

Charge radii of light and heavy mesons
Abstract. We calculate the electromagnetic (EM) form factors of the pseudoscalar mesons in the light-front framework. Specifically, these form factors are directly extracted from the relevant matrix elements, instead of choosing the Breit frame. The results show that the charge radius of the meson is related to both the first and second longitudinal momentum square derivatives of the momentum distribution function. The static properties of the EM form factors and the heavy quark symmetry of the charge radii are checked analytically in the heavy quark limit. In addition, we use the Gaussian-type wavefunction to obtain the numerical results.

Weak-field expansion for processes in a homogeneous background magnetic field
The weak-field expansion of the charged fermion propagator under a uniform magnetic field is studied. Starting from Schwinger's proper-time representation, we express the charged fermion propagator as an infinite series corresponding to different Landau levels. This infinite series is then reorganized according to the powers of the external field strength B. For illustration, we apply this expansion to $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\ensuremath{\gamma}}\ensuremath{\nu}\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}$ and $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\ensuremath{\nu}}\ensuremath{\nu}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ decays, which involve charged fermions in the internal loop. The leading and subleading magnetic-field effects to the above processes are computed.

Core-level and valence-band study using angle-integrated photoemission on LaFeAsO(0.9)F(0.1)
Using angle-integrated photoemission spectroscopy we have probed the novel LaFeAsO{sub 0.9}F{sub 0.1} superconductor over a wide range of photon energies and temperatures. We have provided a full characterization of the orbital character of the valence-band (VB) density of states (DOS) and of the magnitude of the d-p hybridization energy. Finally, we have identified two characteristic temperatures: 90 K where a pseudogap-like feature appears to close and 120 K where a sudden change in the DOS near E{sub F} occurs. We associate these phenomena with the spin density wave magnetic ordering and the structural transition seen in the parent compound, respectively. These results suggest the important role of electron correlation, spin physics, and structural distortion in the physics of Fe-based superconductors.

Operational experience of the insertion devices and expectation of the future superconducting wigglers at NSRRC
Since 1995, we have continuously installed five insertion devices (IDs) in the 1.5 GeV storage ring TLS at NSRRC. They include three undulators (U5, U9 and EPU5.6), one 1.8 Tesla wiggler (W20) and one 6 Tesla superconducting wavelength shifter (SWLS). All these five IDs are located in the long straight sections. The real time orbit correction and betatron tune compensation routine have been successfully operated. With these IDs, the machine emittance reduces substantially. We plan to install four more superconducting multi-pole wigglers (SMPWs), one in the long straight and three in the archromat sections. These devices therefore can offer more beam time for the hard X-ray community. The impacts of these IDs on the beam dynamics effects are reported in this paper.

The construction of a 9-pole prototype for SRRC U-10 undulator
A 9-pole undulator prototype with a magnetic period length of 10 cm was designed and constructed to examine the mechanical and magnetic field performance. The hybrid permanent magnet structure was optimized by using 2D "PANDIRA" and 3D "TOSCA" magnetostatic codes. A half period magnet model was also fabricated to verify the magnetic field strength on-axis and the transverse field roll-off within 0.1 % in the good field region of /spl plusmn/10 mm at a minimum gap minimum gap of 22 mm. The end pole configurations, as equipped with either two tunable permanent magnetic rotators or steering coil correctors were designed for minimizing the deviation of the magnetic field strength integrals. The magnet structures were mounted on a 2 meter long C-frame support structure in which the gap could be moved in parallel and phase motion. The field characteristics and measurement results between the adjustable gap undulator (AGU) and the hybrid adjustable phase undulator (APU) were also presented.

Control system for the superconducting insertion devices of NSRRC
To enhance hard X-ray production in the 1.5 GeV storage ring of NSRRC to serve the rapidly growing X-ray user community in Taiwan, the storage ring are planed to install up to five superconducting insertion devices. A 6 Tesla superconducting wavelength shifter was installed in mid-2002. A 3.2 Tesla superconducting multipole wiggler will be installed in the fall of 2003. The project for the other three multipole wigglers is launched. The control system had been implemented to support the operation of the superconducting insertion devices. The control system play a role to coordinate the operation of the main power supply and the trimming power supplies to charge/discharge the magnet and provide interlock protection for the magnet coils and vacuum ducts. A friendly user interface and various application programs are used to support routine operation. Design considerations and details of the implementation are also presented.
