STUDY OF THE SIGNAL PROCESSING SYSTEM FOR CAVITY BEAM POSITION MONITOR
A prototype of cavity beam position monitor (CBPM), with resonant frequency of 5712MHz [1] and high Q, has been installed in the Shanghai deep ultraviolet freeelectron laser source (SDUV-FEL) facility. A plug & play CBPM signal processor based on broadband oscilloscope embedded IOC (input output controller) and FFT (fast Fourier transform) technique has been developed to do quick evaluation of prototype [2]. According to the evaluation results, a series of simulation using Monte Carlo simulation method, have been carried out as a guideline for the design of dedicated CBPM signal processing system. An RF front end for a prototype of CBPM with resonant frequency of 4700MHz and low Q using the microwave devices is developed and relevant digital signal process algorithms are implemented in MATLAB. Systematic test in lab has been done to evaluate the performance. We got a resolution of 2.8 μm when the continuous sine input signal is 6dBm. INTRODUCTION The free electron laser (FEL) operating in high gain harmonic generation (HGHG) or self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) regime required such high beam position resolution that the electron beam could overlap the generated photon beam stringently and pass through the entire undulator section together. CBPM, which can achieve nano scale resolution as reported [3][4][5], is important and indispensable for the free electron laser (FEL) facility. The Shanghai deep ultraviolet free-electron laser source (SDUV-FEL) facility is operating for cascaded HGHG FEL [6]. According to the relevant references, two types of CBPM with high or low Q, which has something to do with signal intensity, regression time and bandwidth, were developed and used in FEL facilities. For different CBPMs, the different signal process system would be designed. A beam test based on broadband oscilloscope embedded IOC has been done for high-quality-factor CBPM with resonant frequency of 5712MHz. The typical algorithms, such as fitting and digital down convert (DDC)[7], are used in most CBPM signal process systems. We decided to use the FFT technique to implement the beam position measurement. The optimal data length for the FFT technique has been simulated by using signal of beam test. Right now, a prototype of CBPM, not in vacuum, was newly manufactured with 4.7GHz resonant frequency and low Q. And the corresponding CBPM electronics were developed. As we would evaluate performance of two types of CBPM and choose one of them to be used in the future FEL facility, the electronics cover the two prototypes. SYSTEM SETUP The CBPM electronics consist of a dedicated RF (radio frequency) front end and a commercial data acquisition board. RF front end based on the RF receiver architecture is absolutely essential to convert the RF signals to intermediate frequency (IF). Table 1 shows the detail about the selection in our system design.

CORRELATION ANALYSIS OF BEAM DIAGNOSTIC MEASUREMENTS IN SSRF ∗
Signals from various probes of the beam diagnostic system in Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) were processed with correlation analysis algorithms. The resulting data allowed us to sort the probes by confidence, which means the stable and accurate signals could be separated from the faulty or noisy ones. And the beam dynamics measurements became electronic instrument free at the same time. This makes it possible to eliminate bad sensors, such as noisy Beam Position Monitors (BPM), from critical uses, like the feedback system, to offer a more confident set of beam parameters and to estimate useful global information by extracting the relationship between some probes.

Observing various phase transitions in the holographic model of superfluidity
We study the gravity duals of supercurrent solutions in the AdS black hole background with general phase structure to describe both the first and the second order phase transitions at finite temperature in strongly interacting systems. We argue that the conductivity and the pair susceptibility can be possible phenomenological indications to distinguish the order of phase transitions. We extend our discussion to the AdS soliton configuration. Different from the black hole spacetime, in the probe limit the first order phase transition cannot be brought by introducing the spatial component of the vector potential of the gauge field in the AdS soliton background.

Cooling gas outflows from galaxies
We study steady, radial gas outflows from galaxies in an effort to understand the way tenuous and hot gas is transported to large distances away from galaxies. In particular, we obtain solutions for outflow problems, and study the outflow topology, effects of the galaxy mass, the size of outflow regions, the efficiency of radiative cooling, and the fate of the cooled gas. Under general power-law forms for the cooling function and the gravitational field of galaxies, we show that the outflow solutions are determined by the two-parameter initial conditions. In an analogy with stellar wind or accretion problems, we demonstrate that there exists no transonic flow, but either subsonic or supersonic flows are obtainable. Solutions of the supersonic outflows are studied in detail as they are most likely to carry gas to large distances away from galaxies. We find that if gravity is weak, the outflow is characterized by the ratio of the radiative cooling time to the flow time, $t_c/t_f$. The importance of the galactic gravitational field is characterized by the fractional energy lost radiatively within the flow time in outflows with velocity equal to the circular velocity of the galaxy; if the fraction is small, gravity stops the outflow before the gas has a chance to cool radiatively. In the case the gas does cool radiatively, the cooled gas is most likely to form clouds via various instabilities. The clouds coast farther away from the galaxy because of the finite kinetic energy they inherit. We find that the hot gas in dwarf galaxies can either flow out as galactic winds, or cools radiatively to form clouds. In the latter case, the clouds escape the galaxies. In contrast, massive galaxies like our own tend to confine the gas. We present the surface brightness in various x-ray energy bands. We also estimate the mean

Heavy-element abundances and massive star formation
We investigate the observational consequences that arise for the heavy-element abundances in normal spiral galaxies from variations in the initial mass function (IMF). In particular, we calculate the oxygen yield for a given IMF, using the most recent calculations of supernova nucleosynthesis. Assuming instantaneous recycling of oxygen, we calculate the resultant oxygen abundance. The predicted and observed oxygen abundances in our Galaxy are compared, and we find that the overall abundance is well explained by the IMF determined in the solar neighborhood

Ion Transportation Study for Thick Gas Electron Multipliers
Ion back flow(IBF) is defined as the ions that are generated during multiplication in a thick-gas-electron-multiplier (THGEM) detector flow along the electric field. In order to suppress the IBF effect, we study ion transportation for THGEMs with various high voltages and geometrical parameters. By measuring the currents of all the electrodes of the THGEMs, the effective gain and ion back flow ratio are calculated. The measurement and simulation results reveal that with a staggered triple THGEM configuration, ion back flow can be suppressed to 1% with a proper working high voltage. The gain of the staggered configuration is less than that of the aligned configuration by 5% under the same high voltage condition. The design and the results are presented.

Physical design of superconducting magnet for ADS injection I
A superconducting solenoid prototype magnet for Accelerator Driven Subcritical System (ADS) Injection I has been designed and fabricated, which has also been tested in a liquid Helium state inside a vertical Dewar in the Haerbin institute of Technology in November 2012. The design current was 210 A, when the test current reached 400 A no quench occurred so the solenoid magnet was forced to quench by the embedded heaters. The integral field strength, leakage field at the nearby upstream and downstream superconducting spoke cavities all meet the design requirements. At the same time, it also checked the reliability of the vertical test Dewar and the quenched detection system. The superconducting prototype magnet has accumulated valuable experiences for the coming batch magnets production and cryogenic test.
