CEBAF-ER: Extending the Frontier of Energy Recovery at Jefferson Lab
A successful GeV scale energy recovery demonstration with a high ratio of peak-to-injection energies (50:1) was recently carried out on the CEBAF (Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility) recirculating superconducting linear accelerator in an effort to address issues related to beam quality preservation in a large scale energy recovery system. To gain a quantitative understanding of the beam behavior through the machine, an intense effort was made to characterize the 6D phase space during the CEBAF-ER (CEBAF with Energy Recovery) experimental run. A scheme was implemented to measure the transverse emittance of the energy recovered beam prior to being sent to the dump, as well as in the injector and in each arc. The emittance provides a figure of merit in this context inasmuch as it characterizes the extent to which beam quality is preserved during energy recovery. In addition to describing the transverse phase space, the momentum spread was measured in the injector and arcs to characterize the longitudinal phase space. Measurements also included the RF system's response to the energy recovery process. And by using a novel technique employing wire scans in conjunction with PMTs (Photomultiplier Tubes) to accurately measure the beam profile at the dump, we can qualitativelymore » characterize beam preservation through the recirculator. One of the salient conclusions from the experiment is that the energy recovery process does not contribute to the emittance degradation since the emittance of the recirculating pass is consistent with that of the accelerating pass.« less

Proposal for a one GeV plasma wakefield acceleration experiment at SLAC
Abstract A plasma-based wakefield acceleration experiment E-157 has been approved at SLAC to study acceleration of parts of an SLC bunch by up to 1 GeV/m over a length of 1 m. A single SLC bunch is used to both induce wakefields in the 1 m long plasma and to witness the resulting beam acceleration. The experiment will explore and further develop the techniques that are needed to apply high-gradient plasma wakefield acceleration to large-scale accelerators. The 1 m length of the experiment is about two orders of magnitude larger than for other high gradient plasma wakefield acceleration experiments and the 1 GeV/m accelerating gradient is roughly ten times larger than that achieved with conventional metallic structures. Using existing SLAC facilities, the experiment will study high gradient acceleration at the forefront of advanced accelerator research.

Optimization of the Parameters of a Storage Ring for a High Power XUV Free Electron Laser
In this paper we describe the operation of an XUV high gain FEL operating within a bypass of an electron storage ring, and discuss the implications on storage ring optimization imposed by FEL requirements. It transpires that, in the parameter regime of interest, collective effects within the beam play an important role. For example, intrabeam scattering dilutes the transverse emittance of the beam and the microwave instability increases the momentum spread. Both phenomena reduce the effectiveness of the FEL. A computer code, ZAP, has been written which, for a given lattice design, takes all such effects into consideration and produces a figure of merit for FEL operation for that machine. We show the results of ZAP for several storage ring designs, all optimized for FEL operation, and present a design example of a facility capable of producing coherent radiation at 400 Å with tens of megawatts of peak power.

Validity of the Generalized Second Law of Thermodynamics in the Logamediate and Intermediate Scenarios of the Universe
In this work, we have investigated the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics in logamediate and intermediate scenarios of the universe bounded by the Hubble, apparent, particle and event horizons using and without using first law of thermodynamics. We have observed that the GSL is valid for Hubble, apparent, particle and event horizons of the universe in the logamediate scenario of the universe using first law and without using first law. Similarly the GSL is valid for all horizons in the intermediate scenario of the universe using first law. Also in the intermediate scenario of the universe, the GSL is valid for Hubble, apparent and particle horizons but it breaks down whenever we consider the universe enveloped by the event horizon.

Power-law solution of new agegraphic modified f(R) Horava-Lifshitz gravity
We study the reconstruction scenario of modified gravity with a dynamical dark-energy model filling the universe. In this context, we consider the Modified f(R) Horava-Lifshitz Gravity with a new agegraphic dark-energy model using the power-law form of the scale factor. We construct a modified f(R) Horava-Lifshitz model and check its behavior along its argument. To discuss the accelerated expansion of the universe, some cosmological parameters are discussed as well. The equation-of-state parameter represents the phantom behavior of the universe as well as the statefinder diagnostic pair gives the phantom and quintessence regions. Also, the stability analysis is carried out through squared speed of sound which points out the stable modified f(R) Horava-Lifshitz model except in a small time interval.

EMERGENT UNIVERSE IN THE CHAMELEON, f(R) AND f(T) GRAVITY THEORIES
In this work, we consider an emergent Universe in generalized gravity theories like the chameleon, f(R) and f(T) gravities. We reconstruct the potential of the chameleon field under the emergent scenario of the Universe and observe its increasing nature with the evolution of the Universe. We reveal that in the emergent Universe scenario, the equation-of-state parameter behaves like quintessence in the case of f(R) gravity and like phantom in the case of f(T) gravity.

Stability of Non-asymptotically Flat Thin-Shell Wormholes in Generalized Dilaton-Axion Gravity
We construct a new type of thin-shell wormhole for non-asymptotically flat charged black holes in generalized dilaton-axion gravity inspired by low-energy string theory using cut-and-paste technique. We have shown that this thin shell wormhole is stable. The most striking feature of our model is that the total amount of exotic matter needed to support the wormhole can be reduced as desired with the suitable choice of the value of a parameter. Various other aspects of thin-shell wormhole are also analyzed.

Reciprocal NUT spacetimes
In this paper, we study the Ehlers' transformation (sometimes called gravitational duality rotation) for reciprocal static metrics. First, we introduce the concept of reciprocal metric. We prove a theorem which shows how we can construct a certain new static solution of Einstein field equations using a seed metric. Later, we investigate the family of stationary spacetimes of such reciprocal metrics. The key here is a theorem from Ehlers', which relates any static vacuum solution to a unique stationary metric. The stationary metric has a magnetic charge. The spacetime represents Newman-Unti-Tamburino (NUT) solutions. Since any stationary spacetime can be decomposed into a 1 + 3 time-space decomposition, Einstein field equations for any stationary spacetime can be written in the form of Maxwell's equations for gravitoelectromagnetic fields. Further, we show that this set of equations is invariant under reciprocal transformations. An additional point is that the NUT charge changes the sign. As an instructive example, by starting from the reciprocal Schwarzschild as a spherically symmetric solution and reciprocal Morgan–Morgan disk model as seed metrics we find their corresponding stationary spacetimes. Starting from any static seed metric, performing the reciprocal transformation and by applying an additional Ehlers' transformation we obtain a family of NUT spaces with negative NUT factor (reciprocal NUT factors).
