Inclusive production of lambda and neutral kaon in K−p interactions at 3.93 GeV/c and 14.3 GeV/c
SummaryLambda and neutral-kaon production is studied in K−p interactions at 3.93 and 14.3 GeV/c. Topological inclusive cross-sections are given at both energies. Invariant cross-sections for lambdas and neutral kaons are presented as a function of the Feynmanx-variable and are found to decrease in magnitude and vary their shapes with energy. The

$$AK\overline K $$

 production, which represents (9±2)% and (29±3)% of the lambda inclusive cross-section at 3.93 GeV/c and 14.3 GeV/c respectively, yields mainly backward lambdas. The shapes of the transverse-momentum invariant distributions vary withx, but are roughly independent of energy. The lambda polarization is studied as a function ofx at both incident momenta: for fast lambdas it is negative, as observed in reactions where nucleon exchange is dominant.RiassuntoSi studia la produzione di particelle lambda e di kaoni neutri nelle interazioni K−p a 3.93 e 14.3 GeV/c. Per entrambi i valori dell'energia si danno le sezioni d'urto inclusive topologiche. Si presentano le sezioni d'urto invarianti per particelle lambda e kaoni neutri in funzione della variabilex di Feynman e si trova che diminuiscono in grandezza e cambiano di forma con l'energia.

, che rappresenta il (9±2)% e il (29±3)% della sezione d'urto inclusiva delle particelle lambda rispettivamente a 3.93 GeV/c e 14.3 GeV/c, dà per lo più particelle lambda che vanno all'indietro. Gli andamenti delle distribuzioni invarianti dell'impulso trasversale variano conx, ma sono approssimativamente indipendenti dall'energia. Si studia la polarizzazione delle particelle lambda in funzione dix per entrambi i valori dell'impulso incidente: per particelle lambda veloci è negativa, come si è osservato in reazioni in cui predomina lo scambio di nucleoni.РезюмеИсследуется рождение ламбда и нейтрального каона в K−p взаимодействиях при 3.93 ГэВ/с и 14.3 ГэВ/с. При обеих энергиях приводятся топологические инклюзивные поперечные сечения. Инвариантные поперечные сечения для ламбда и нейтральных каонов представлены в виде функции фейнмановскойx переменной. Получено, что поперечные сечения уменьшаются по величине и изменяют свою форму с энергией.

$$AK\overline K $$

 рождение, которое составляет соответственно (9±2)% и (29±3)% ламбда инклюзивного поперечного сечения при 3.93 ГэВ/с и 14.3 ГэВ/с, образует в основном ламбда-частицы, летящие в обратном направлении. Формы инвариантных распределений для поперечного импульса изменяются с «x», но вгрубом приближении не зависят от энергии. Исследуется поляризация ламбда, как функцияx для обоих начальных испульсов: для быстрых ламбда-частиц поляризация отрицательная, как наблюдается в реакциях, где доминирует нуклонный обмен.

Measurement of wide-angle elastic scattering of pions and protons off protons
A comprehensive measurement of the differential cross section for ..pi../sup + -/p and pp elastic scattering has been made at large center-of-mass angles. ..pi../sup -/p and pp scattering were measured with incident laboratory momenta ranging from 2 to 9.5 GeV/c. ..pi../sup +/p scattering was measured with momenta from 2 to 6.3 GeV/c. Scattering angles were in the range -0.3 < or approx. = costheta/sub c.m./ < or approx. = 0.4. The results of the experiment are compared to constituent models and statistical models.

Two-body final states in K-p interactions at 14.3 GeV/c
Event selection and weighting. In Fig. 1 a), the distribution of the square of the missing mass to the K0 in all zero-prong plus one K ~ events is displayed; a clear neutron signal is visible with a half-width of approximately 0.4 (GeV)L In the study of reaction (1) we use all events with missing mass less than the A(1236) mass. The cross-section is corrected for the few neutron events above this cut by double-counting the symmetrical region below the neutron mass. We also correct for the background reaction

Computer Calculations of Traveling-Wave Periodic Structure Properties
The versatility and accuracy of programs such as LALA and specially SUPERFISH to calculate the rf properties of standing-wave cavities for linacs and storage rings is by now well established. Such rf properties include the resonant frequency, the phase shift per periodic length, the E- and H-field configurations, the shunt impedance per unit length and Q. While other programs such as TWAP have existed for some time for traveling-wave structures, the wide availability of SUPERFISH makes it desirable to extend the use of this program to traveling-wave structures as well. That is the purpose of this paper. In the process of showing how the conversion from standing waves to traveling waves can be accomplished and how the group velocity can be calculated, the paper also attempts to clear up some of the common ambiguities between the properties of these two types of waves. Good agreement is found between calculated results and experimental values obtained earlier.

The NLC positron source
A baseline design for the NLC positron source based on the existing SLC positron system is described. The proposed NLC source consists of a dedicated S-band electron accelerator, a conventional positron production and capture system utilizing a high-Z target and an adiabatic matching device, and an L-band positron linac. The invariant transverse acceptance of the capture system is 0.06 m/spl middot/rad, ensuring an adequate positron beam intensity for the NLC.

CTF3 Drive-Beam Injector Design
The Two-Beam Accelerator concept is one of the most promising methods for producing RF power for future linear colliders. In particular it allows upgrades to multiTeV energies. One of its challenges is the production of the high current drive beam, which as it passes through decelerating structures, produces RF power for acceleration of the main beam. These challenges must be studied at a smaller scale test facility.

The Electron Gun for the Stanford Two-Mile Accelerator
The design of the electron gun for an electron linear accelerator is of prime importance in achieving a small emittance volume and good reliability. This paper discusses phase space concepts useful in gun design, the design of the SLAC electron gun, and tests of its performance. A convenient definition for the effective area in phase space of a finite set of calculated points is proposed and a discussion of the increase in transverse phase space within a linear accelerator is presented. The SLAC gun is a Pierce spherical triode with a 50-ohm coaxial input to the grid. The gun is designed to operate with 80 kV dc between the cathode and the anode. The current in the beam can be varied from 2 A peak to less than 10-8 A peak by varying the grid to cathode voltage over a range of about 1000 volts. The design permits use of either an oxide cathode radiantly heated or a thoriated tungsten cathode heated by electron bombardment.

Calculation of positron source yields
Two recent failures of the positron source solenoid have led to a design study of more conservative coils. A Monte Carlo program has been used to calculate the distribution in phase space of the electromagnetic shower from the target of the SLAC positron source. Positron and electron yields were calculated for copper and tungsten targets. A ray tracing program was used to calculate the acceptance of the focusing system. The existing source makes use of an adiabatically tapered solenoid. The yield of this system has been compared with 3 alternatives: two possible modifications of the tapered solenoid, and a focusing system using a short solenoid as a quarter wave transformer. The calculated yield for the existing system is in reasonable agreement with experimental observation.
