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.

The non-relativistic quark model
The classification scheme and decay properties of hadron states are investigated in the framework of the non relativistic quark model. The main successes and the unsolved difficulties of the model are presented indicating the future work which could be done to understand and exploit the non-relativistic quark ideas.РезюмеИсследованы схема классификации и распадные свойства адронов в рамках статической модели кварков. Изложены главные успехи и нерешенные проблемы модели, указывая задачи, которые должны быть решены для лучшего понимания и использования нерелятивистских идей.

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.

Determination of coupled-lattice properties using turn-by-turn data
A formalism for extracting coupled betatron parameters from multiturn, shock excited, beam position monitor data is described. The most important results are nonperturbative in that they do not rely on the underlying ideal lattice model. Except for damping, which is assumed to be exponential and small enough to be removed empirically, the description is symplectic. As well as simplifying the description, this leads to self-consistency checks that are applied to the data. The most important of these is a {open_quotes}magic ratio{close_quotes} of Fourier coefficients that is required to be a lattice invariant, the same at every beam position monitor. All formulas are applied to both real and simulated data. The real data was acquired June, 1992 at LEP as part of decoupling studies, using the LEP beam orbit measurement system. Simulated data, obtained by numerical tracking (TEAPOT) in the same (except for unknown errors) lattice, agrees well with real data when subjected to identical analysis. For both datasets, deviations between extracted and design parameters and deviations from self-consistency can be accounted for by noise and signal processing limitations. This investigation demonstrates that the LEP beam position system yields reliable local coupling measurements. It can be conservatively assumed that systems of similar design at the SSC and LHC will provide the measurements needed for local decoupling.

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.

THE CERN DETECTOR SAFETY SYSTEM FOR THE LHC EXPERIMENTS
The Detector Safety System (DSS), developed at CERN in common for the four LHC experiments under the auspices of the Joint Controls Project (JCOP), will be responsible for assuring the equipment protection for these experiments. Therefore, the DSS requires a high degree of both availability and reliability. It is composed of a Front-end and a Back-end part. The Front-end is based on a redundant Siemens PLC, to which the safetycritical part of the DSS task is delegated. The PLC Frontend is capable of running autonomously and of automatically taking predefined protective actions whenever required. It is supervised and configured by the CERN-chosen PVSS SCADA system via a Siemens OPC server. The supervisory layer provides the operator with a status display and with limited online reconfiguration capabilities. Configuration of the code running in the PLCs is 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. Currently, the DSS is being installed and commissioned for the construction of the CMS and LHCb experiments.
