Demodulation and detection of correlations in a beam by a scattering detector
Abstract The demodulation and the detection of correlations in a beam using a detector that scatters the beam is discussed employing a localized wave packet description of the beam. It is shown that a simple very general formula for the spectral excitation function of the detector can be given; by spectral excitation function we mean the rate of excitation of the detector to a given level. The formula is derived without making specific assumptions on the nature of the detector. The spectral excitation function is naturally decomposed as a sum of four terms: Two of these (the B terms in what follows) depend only on the wavefunction and stochastic distribution of the incident beam; they are proportional to the square (and higher powers) of the flux and contain all the information on the self-beat, Forrester-type effects and demodulation. More precisely, one of these B terms contains the information on the demodulation and the other on the beat effects. The remaining two terms (to be called the A terms) describe the conventional inelastic scattering (proportional to the flux) and some coherent corrections to it (proportional to higher powers of the flux): These A terms behave as noise if the signal of interest is that described by the B terms. The theory is illustrated with many examples to known situations; particular attention is given to some conceptual questions involved.

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 ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION FOR THE LHC
The LHC is a very complex machine, made of about 8000 superconducting magnets along a circumference of 26.7 km. The magnets are powered in about 1700 different electrical circuits with currents ranging from 60 A (for small corrector magnets) up to 13 kA for the main dipoles and quadrupoles. The layout of the powering system reflects the complexity of the accelerator. About 80000 high current connections will have to be made. A minor fault in a circuit or one of the superconducting connections would have severe consequences for accelerator operation. For the integration of the electrical equipment, for supporting the assembly and verifying the correctness of the electrical circuits, all relevant information should be included in one coherent database. A simple method for the description of the electrical circuits is proposed, while an associated tool is translating this input into database information and back, checking the circuit description at the same time for inconsistencies. Out of the database information, electrical drawings and detailed views of the electrical connections at every LHC interconnection point can be recreated. This paper describes the approach and outlines several possible applications.

The RTC-a software support system for the control of the CERN SPS
The RTC (Run Time Coordinator) is described. It is a software support system designed for the SPS (Super Proton Synchrotron) control system to provide a run time environment for application software. It coordinates the execution of individual programs or processes and supervises the process control, i.e. process synchronization, interprocess communication, data transfer, and operator I/O (input/output). This supervision includes the control of processes distributed on a Unix-based network. A standard language independent data interface is part of the system. The system includes tools for data presentation, error logging, and contention resolution. Separating system-dependent features for the body of the application programs leads to high flexibility and simplifies the software development. The basic philosophy of the RTC is discussed and its implementation is described.<<ETX>>

Overview of LEP operation in 1998
After the installation of 32 additional RF cavities in the 1997-1998 shutdown LEP was operated at a beam energy of 94.5 GeV. The total integrated luminosity for the year 1998 clearly surpassed its target and reached 198 pb/sup -1/. Vertical beam-beam tuneshifts of more than 0.07 were obtained. The performance did not seem to be beam-beam limited, but the total beam current was limited by power dissipation problems to around 6 mA. A high phase advance optics (102/spl deg/, 90/spl deg/), with a smaller natural emittance, was used for regular operation in 1998. This contributed to the excellent performance of LEP, together with the further reduction of both the horizontal and vertical beta function at the interaction points. No dynamic aperture problems were encountered.
