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.

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.

Betatron function measurement at LEP using the BOM 1000 turns facility
A new method for measuring the beta function around LEP is presented. The method uses phase difference measurements between three adjacent beam position monitors to obtain the value for the beta function at the monitors and in their neighbourhood, e.g. at interaction points, electrostatic separators etc. The phase differences are obtained from measuring coherent betatron oscillations for 1024 turns at the 504 beam position monitors. After a discussion of the accuracy of the method the measured values for the beta function are compared with the theoretical values for different lattices. In regular parts of the lattice (e.g. arcs) the beating of the beta function measured using this method agrees well with the beating obtained by another method using a fit of the phase over 15 monitors.<<ETX>>

Electron-positron collisions at 209 GeV in LEP
The Large Electron-Positron Collider (LEP) at CERN closed down in November 2000. During the year 2000 electron-positron collisions were established at centre-of-mass energies of up to 209 GeV. The energy reach of LEP was thus extended by another 7 GeV compared to the year 1999. At the same time the luminosity production was kept high and the total delivered luminosity for the year was 233 pb/sup -1/. High beam energy and high luminosity extended the discovery reach of LEP. The successful energy increase of LEP is analysed and the operation and performance in the regime of ultra-strong damping is described.

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.

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.
