THE INSTALLATION OF ONE 14 METER CELL OF TPS VACUUM SYSTEM
The construction of a new 3 GeV synchrotron facility, Taiwan Photon Source, is ongoing. The vacuum system has been designed with off-site baking for arc section from sector gate valve to sector gate valve. There is no flange used in this arc section besides the two ends connected to sector gate valves. It is a tedious works for install such long vacuum system with aluminium chambers. In this paper, all the detailed installation procedures will be described. All the precaution inspection procedures for all vacuum components to prevent failed components to be installed will also be described. Every three weeks, one cell will be assembled and stored. Experience is being learned and could be used for the vacuum system of future new accelerator like FEL and others.

Quality Control of Optical Transmitters for the ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimeter
A quality control test is performed on nearly 2000 custom optical transmitters for use in the Liquid Argon Calorimeter of the ATLAS detector. More than 90% of these optical transmitters passed the test and have been installed in the calorimeter readout system. The acceptance criteria, measurement procedure, and results of the quality control test are presented in this note.

Wakefields in photonic accelerator structures
Control and manipulation of properties - such as vacuum modal confinement, spatial harmonic content, phase velocity, and group velocity - are reasons why an all-dielectric beam-driven accelerator would be expected to benefit by borrowing from the field of optical bandgap photonics. We outline the general conditions for coherent Cerenkov radiation in a photonic crystal, illustrated by three examples: two Bragg mirrors separated by a vacuum gap, a woodpile with a linear waveguide channel, and a stack of photonic slabs having a planar waveguide channel.

OPTIMIZATION OF THE ULTRA-HIGH VACUUM SYSTEMS FOR THE 3 GEV TPS SYNCHROTRON LIGHT SOURCE
The Taiwan Photon Source (TPS), a 3 GeV synchrotron light source, provides an ultra-low emittance of electron beam and the consequent extremely high brightness of photons. The vacuum pressure along the beam duct should be ultra-high vacuum (UHV) and even lower for reduction of the impact to the beam from the gas scattering or ion trapping troubles. Most of the outgas comes from the photon stimulated desorption (PSD) back streaming from downstream absorbers during beam operation and large area surface outgas inside the beam duct as well. Due to the anticipate request of the smallest vertical aperture of beam ducts from various insertion devices and the lowest broadband impedance through all the vacuum chambers of electron storage ring, the inner structure design and the surface treatment of vacuum chambers as well as the constraint of the back stream PSD outgas from distributed absorbers and the pumping locations should be optimized to obtain a high quality UHV system for the high stable synchrotron light source through the long period of operation. The optimized design of the vacuum chambers for the TPS will be described.

Lifetime Test for Optical Transmitters in the ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimeter Readout System 1
Accelerated lifetime test has been carried out for 147 days on the custom-made optical transmitters used in the ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimeter front-end electronics readout system. The lifetime of these optical transmitters is estimated to be greater than 200 years and exceeds the design goal for the LHC. The random failure rate has been estimated at 9.6×10 -7 per hour at 90% confidence level.

Charmonium States in QCD-Inspired Quark Potential Model Using Gaussian Expansion Method
We investigate the mass spectrum and electromagnetic processes of charmonium system with the nonperturbative treatment for the spin-dependent potentials, comparing the pure scalar and scalar-vector mixing linear confining potentials. It is revealed that the scalar-vector mixing confinement would be important for reproducing the mass spectrum and decay widths, and therein the vector component is predicted to be around 22 %. With the state wave functions obtained via the full-potential Hamiltonian, the long-standing discrepancy in M1 radiative transitions of J/ψ and ψ′ are alleviated. This work also provides an inspection and suggestion for the possible cc̄ states among the copious higher charmonium-like states. Particularly, the newly observed X(4160) and X(4350) are found in the charmonium family mass spectrum as M(21D2) = 4164.9 MeV and M(33P2) = 4352.4 MeV, which strongly favor the JPC = 2−+, 2++ assignments respectively. The corresponding radiative transitions, leptonic and two-photon decay widths have been also predicted theoretically for the further experimental search.

B ---> phi pi and B0 ---> phi phi in the standard model and new bounds on R parity violation
We study the pure penguin decays $B \to \phi\pi$ and $B^0 \to \phi\phi$. Using QCD factorization, we find ${\cal B}(B^\pm \to\phi\pi^{\pm} )=2.0^{+0.3}_{-0.1}\times 10^{-8}$. For the pure penguin annihilation process $B^0 \to \phi\phi$, analyzed here for the first time, ${\cal B}(B^0 \to\phi\phi)=2.1^{+1.6}_{-0.3}\times 10^{-9}$. The smallness of these decays in the Standard Model makes them sensitive probes for new physics. From the upper limit of $B\to \phi\pi$,we find constraints on R parity violating couplings, $| \lambda{''}_{i23}\lambda{''}_{i21}|<6\times10^{-5}$, $| \lambda'_{i23}\lambda'_{i21}|<4\times10^{-4}$ and $| \lambda'_{i32}\lambda'_{i12}|<4\times10^{-4}$ for $i=1,2,3$. Our new bounds on $|\lambda{''}_{i23}\lambda{''}_{i21}|$ are one order of magnitude stronger than before. Within the available upper bounds for $| \lambda{''}_{i23}\lambda{''}_{i21}|$, $|\lambda'_{i23}\lambda'_{i21}|$ and $|\lambda'_{i32}\lambda'_{i12}|$, we find that ${\cal B}(B\to\phi\phi)$ could be enhanced to $10^{-8}\sim 10^{-7}$. Experimental searches for these decays are strongly urged.

Semileptonic Bc decay within heavy quark spin symmetry
Abstract We calculate the semileptonic B c decay widths using heavy quark spin symmetry. The form factors are estimated from the wave function model of Isgur, Scora, Grinstein and Wise (ISGW). We also discuss the extraction of | V cs |/| V cb |, | V cs |/| V cd | and | V ub |/| V cs | from semileptonic B c decays. The theoretical uncertainties are minimized when using the ratios of B c differential decay rates to extract the ratios of CKM elements at zero recoil limit. The result is potentially important for extracting CKM elements from future measurements at LHC and SSC.

Probe new physics in leptonic Bc decays at CERN LHC
With respect to large samples of B-c mesons expected to be produced at CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the large branching ratios Br(B-c --> tau ) and Br(B-c --> mu ), we suggest that, purely leptonic decays could offer an unique probe of the standard model and its extensions such as two Higgs doublet models and models involving supersymmetry, and also the structure of charged weak currents.

Studying of $B_s^0-\bar{B}_s^0$ mixing and $B_{s}\to K^{(*)-}K^{(*)+}$ decays within supersymmetry
Recent results from CDF and D{\O} collaborations favor a large CP asymmetry in B_s^0-\bar{B}_s^0 mixing, while the standard model prediction is very small. Such a large phase may imply sizable new physics effects in B_s^0-\bar{B}_s^0 mixing. We compute the gluino-mediated supersymmetry contributions to B_s^0-\bar{B}_s^0 mixing, B_s->K^{(*)-}K^{(*)+} and B->X_s\gamma decays in the frame of the mass insertion approximation. Combining the constraints of \DeltaM_s, \Delta\Gamma_s, \phi^{J/\psi\phi}_s, B(B_s->K^{-}K^{+}) and B(B->X_s \gamma), we find that the effects of the constrained LL and RR insertions in B_s->K^{(*)-}K^{(*)+} decays are small because of the absence of gluino mass enhancement. For m^2_{\tilde{g}}/m^2_{\tilde{q}}=9, the constrained LR insertion can provide sizable contributions to all observables of B_s->K^{(*)-}K^{(*)+} decays except A^{dir}_{CP}(B_s->K^{-}K^{+}), and many observables are sensitive to the modulus and the phase of the LR insertion parameter. Near future experiments at Fermilab Tevatron and CERN LHC-b can test these predictions and shrink/reveal the mass insertion parameter spaces.
