Measurement of Field Inaccuracy and Shim Simulation of a 130-Pole Superconducting Undolator
A superconducting undulator (length 975.2 mm, with 130 poles) was wound and trained, and its field measured, at National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center. The NbTi wires were excited to 1.36 T at 497 A after 28 cycles. A Hall probe (length 2.50 m) was used to characterize the distribution of the magnetic field of arrays in the magnetic gap (width 5.6 mm). The measurement region of the Hall probe in the vertical dewar is greater than 1 m. The shrinkage or expansion of the Hall probe depends on the thermal variation at both its ends. The length of the Hall probe must be evaluated in the long region. The reproducibility of the measurement system was verified in the same experiment. A shim method involving a trim pole piece was developed to correct for deviations of the magnetic field. This paper discusses the source of measurement inaccuracy with the Hall probe and present results of the simulation of shimming the trim poles.

Planning of insertion devices for the 3-GeV Taiwan Photon Source
The Taiwan photon source (TPS) is a 3-GeV storage ring with 24 straight sections for installation of insertion devices (ID), radio-frequency cavities (RF) and electron- beam injection. Most insertion devices are in-vacuum undulators to produce intense X-rays with a brilliance up to 1times1021 photons s-1 mrad-2 mm-2 per 0.1% bw. A superconducting wiggler is also necessary to provide higher energy in the medium-energy range of the TPS. The APPLE II elliptically polarized undulator and a long- period undulator provide a source with circular and any linear polarization and the VUV source. Projects to investigate a superconducting undulator and a cryogenic permanent-magnet undulator are launched for energies in a range 1.5-25 keV.

Design of mechanical structure and cryostat for IASW superconducting wiggler at NSRRC
An in-achromatic superconducting wiggler (IASW) was successfully constructed and installed at the Taiwan Light Source (TLS) in January 2006. The cryostat with a 30 L liquid nitrogen aluminum reservoir shielding surrounds the helium vessel, which comprises the cold mass and 100 L liquid helium. The helium vessel is suspended by eight suspension links, which are thermally intercepted at 80 K and can be adjusted by applying tension, such that the center of the cold mass does not move during cooled to 4.2 K. A three-layered stainless tube was designed to prevent the transfer port from freezing and the steam- electricity separation system is designed to supply electricity and return the helium gas to prevent freezing of the power feedthrough.

SUPERCONDUCTING UNDULATOR WITH VARIABLY POLARIZED LIGHT
This study investigates planar in-vacuo superconducting elliptically polarized undulators with periodic length of 5 cm (SEPU5) producing linearly and circularly polarized infrared rays or x-rays source. The vertically wound racetrack coil is chosen for the coil and pole fabrication of the SEPU5. When the up and down magnetic pole arrays with alternative directions rotated wires in the horizontal plane, an elliptical field radiates elliptically polarized light in the electron storage ring, the free electron laser (FEL), and the energy recovery linac (ERL) facilities. Meanwhile, an un-rotated wire magnet array is constructed together with the rotated wire magnet array on the same undulator is used to switch the linear polarization in horizontal and vertical, as well as the right- and left-circular polarization radiation. This investigation describes the main factors of the planar and helical undulator design for FEL and the concepts concerning the magnet array structures of the superconducting undulators.

Superconducting wiggler with semi-cold beam duct at Taiwan light source
Abstract A 3.2 T superconducting wiggler with a periodic length of 6 cm and 32 poles was designed and fabricated as an X-ray source. The beam duct of this magnet is a semi-cold, ultra-high vacuum chamber that consists of an aluminum and stainless steel taper. The number of poles in this magnet design is even, to minimize the integral strengths of the multipole components. Two measurement systems—involving room-temperature and cryogenic Hall probes—were set up to measure the field of the superconducting wiggler. A cryogenic plant that supplied liquid helium and nitrogen to the superconducting wiggler has already been established. The performance of magnet construction is good and the commissioning of the superconducting wiggler in the storage ring has been successful. No trim coil compensation on the magnet is required to adjust the electron beam orbit. Furthermore, the electron beams exhibit no loss and remain highly stable after the superconducting wiggler has been quenched.

Construction and Performance of Superconducting Magnets for Synchrotron Radiation
Two superconducting magnets, one wavelength shifter with a field of 6 T and one wiggler with a field of 3.2 T, were constructed and routinely operated at Taiwan Light Source to generate synchrotron X-rays. Additionally, three short multipole wigglers with the same field of 3.1 T are under construction and will be installed in the three achromatic short straight sections. A warm beam duct with an inner gap of 20 mm and a 1.5 W GM type cryo-cooler were used in the wavelength shifter to achieve cryogen-free operation. For the 3.2 T wiggler, a cold beam duct with an inner gap of 11 mm was kept at 100 K temperature and no trim coil compensation is necessary for its operation. Meanwhile, no beam loss was observed when it was quenched. The design concept, magnetic field quality, and the commissioning results of these magnets will be presented.

Weak-field expansion for processes in a homogeneous background magnetic field
The weak-field expansion of the charged fermion propagator under a uniform magnetic field is studied. Starting from Schwinger's proper-time representation, we express the charged fermion propagator as an infinite series corresponding to different Landau levels. This infinite series is then reorganized according to the powers of the external field strength B. For illustration, we apply this expansion to $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\ensuremath{\gamma}}\ensuremath{\nu}\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}$ and $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\ensuremath{\nu}}\ensuremath{\nu}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ decays, which involve charged fermions in the internal loop. The leading and subleading magnetic-field effects to the above processes are computed.

Charge and Transition Form Factors of Light Mesons with Light-Front Quark Model
The charge and transition form factors of pion (Fπ, Fπγ , and Fπγ∗) are studied with the light-front quark model. We find that our results for Fπ and Fπγ agree very well with experimental data. Furthermore, the decay constants of η and η are evaluated. We also calculate Fηγ and Fη′γ and compare with the experimental data. PACS numbers: 12.39.Ki, 13.40.Gp Typeset using REVTEX

Study of quark distribution amplitudes of 1S and 2S heavy quarkonium states
In this paper, the quark distribution amplitudes of 1S and 2S heavy quarkonium states are studied in terms of Gaussian-type wave functions. The transverse momenta p⊥ integrals of the formulae for the decay constant are performed analytically. Then the quark distribution amplitudes are obtained. In addition, the ξ-moments are also calculated. After fixing the relevant parameters appearing in the quark distribution amplitude, the curves of the quark distribution amplitude for 1S and 2S heavy quarkonium states are plotted. Finally, the numerical results of this approach are compared with the other theoretical predictions.

Neutrino-photon scattering and its crossed processes in a background magnetic field
Abstract We study the neutrino-photon processes such as γγ→ν ν , νγ → νγ , and ν ν →γγ in a background magnetic field smaller than the critical magnetic field B c ≡ m e 2 / e . Using Schwinger's formalism, we extract leading magnetic-field contributions to the above processes. Our result is valid throughout the kinematic regime where both neutrino and photon energies are significantly smaller than m W . We briefly discuss the astrophysical implications of our result.

Light front approach for heavy pentaquark transitions
Assuming the two diquark structure for the pentaquark state as advocated in the Jaffe-Wilczek model, there exist exotic parity-even anti-sextet and parity-odd triplet heavy pentaquark baryons. The theoretical estimate of charmed and bottom pentaquark masses is quite controversial and it is not clear whether the ground-state heavy pentaquark lies above or below the strong-decay threshold. We study the weak transitions of heavy pentaquark states using the light-front quark model. In the heavy quark limit, heavy-to-heavy pentaquark transition form factors can be expressed in terms of three Isgur-Wise functions: two of them are found to be normalized to unity at zero recoil, while the third one is equal to 1/2 at the maximum momentum transfer, in accordance with the prediction of the large-Nc approach or the quark model. Therefore, the light-front model calculations are consistent with the requirement of heavy quark symmetry. Numerical results for form factors and Isgur-Wise functions are presented. Decay rates of the weak decays Theta_b+ to Theta_c0 pi+ (rho+), Theta_c0 to Theta+ pi- (rho-), Sigma'_{5b}+ to Sigma'_{5c}0 pi+ (rho+) and Sigma'_{5c}0 to N_8+ pi- (rho-) with Theta_Q, 
Sigma'_{5Q} and N_8 being the heavy anti-sextet, heavy triplet and light octet pentaquarks, respectively, are obtained. For weakly decaying Theta_b+ and Theta_c0, the branching ratios of Theta_b+ to Theta_c0 pi+, Theta_c0 to Theta+ pi- are estimated to be at the level of 10^{-3} and a few percents, respectively.
