Free electron laser research in China
China has endeavored in the field of FEL research since the mid-eighties. Compton regime, Raman regime, electromagnetic pumping, Cherenkov FEL, and harmonic generator FEL, etc. based on the RF linac accelerator, induction linac accelerator, pulsed-line accelerator, and storage ring have all been developed. These experimental projects are in various stages of development and are discussed in sequence. Theoretical analysis, numerical simulation and components research related to an FEL also will be mentioned briefly.

The Major Accelerator Projects in China
The development of accelerators in China began after the founding of the Republic in 1949. Among the milestones are a Van de Graaff of 2.3 MV in 1959, a 25 MeV betatron in 1963, a 1.2m cyclotron and an electron linear accelerator of 30 MeV together with its 14 MW high power klystron in 1964, and a 10 MeV proton linac in 1982. Some medium and high energy accelerators are currently under construction. The major projects are the Beijing Electron Positron Collider of 2.2 to 2.8 GeV, the Lanzhou Heavy Ion Research Facility of 100-5 MeV/A, and the Hefei Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory of 800 MeV. These projects and their purposes are described.

Interaction of vector mesons with baryons and vectors in the nuclear medium
In this talk we present a short review of recent developments concerning the interaction of vector mesons with baryons and with nuclei. We begin with the hidden gauge formalism for the interaction of vector mesons, then review results for vector baryon interaction and in particular the resonances which appear as composite states, dynamically generated from the interaction of vector mesons with baryons. New developments concerning the mixing of these states with pseudoscalars and baryons are also reported. We include some discussion on the $5/2^+$ $\Delta$ resonances around 2000 MeV, where we suggest that the $\Delta(2000)5/2^+$ resonance, which comes in the PDG from averaging a set of resonances appearing around 1700 MeV and another one around 2200 MeV, corresponds indeed to two distinct resonances. We also report on a hidden charm baryon state around 4400 MeV coming from the interaction of vector mesons and baryons with charm, and how this state has some repercussion in the $J/\psi$ suppression in nuclei. The interaction of $K^*$ in nuclei is also reported and suggestions are made to measure by means of the transparency ratio the huge width in the medium that the theoretical calculations predict. The formalism is extended to $J/\psi$ interaction with nuclei and the transparency ratio for $J/\psi$ photoproduction in nuclei is studied and shown to be a good tool to find possible baryon states which couple to $J/\psi N$.

A resonance interpretation for the nonmonotonic behavior of the φ photoproduction cross section near threshold
We study whether the nonmonotonic behavior found in the differential cross section of the φ‐meson photoproduction near threshold can be described by a resonance. The resonant contribution is evaluated by using an effective Lagrangian approach. We find that, with the assumption of a JP = 3/2− resonance with mass of 2.10±0.03 GeV and width of 0.465±0.141 GeV, LEPS data can indeed be well described. The ratio of the helicity amplitudes A1/2/A3/2 calculated from the re‐22 sulting coupling constants differs in sign from that of the known D13(2080). We further find that the addition of this postulated resonance can substantially improve the agreement between the existing theoretical predictions and the recent ω photoproduction data if a large value of the OZI evading parameter xOZI = 12 is assumed for the resonance.

Re-analysis of the $\Lambda(1520)$ photoproduction reaction
Based on previous studies that support the important role of the $N^*(2120) D_{13}$ resonance in the $\gamma p \to K^+ \Lambda(1520)$ reaction, we make a re-analysis of this $\Lambda(1520)$ photoproduction reaction taking into account the recent CLAS differential cross-section data. In addition to the contact, $t-$channel $\bar K$ exchange, $s-$channel nucleon pole and $N^*(2120)$ [previously called $N^*(2080)$] resonance contributions, which have been already considered in previous works, we also study the $u-$channel $\Lambda(1115)$ hyperon pole term. The latter mechanism has always been ignored in all theoretical analysis, which has mostly relied on the very forward $K^+$ angular LEPS data. It is shown that when the contributions from the $N^*(2120)$ resonance and the $\Lambda(1115)$ hyperon are taken into account, both the new CLAS and the previous LEPS data can be simultaneously described. We also show that the contribution from the $u-$channel $\Lambda(1115)$ pole term produces an enhancement for large $K^+$ angles, and it becomes more and more relevant as the photon energy increases, being essential to describe the CLAS differential cross sections at backward angles. Furthermore, we find that the new CLAS data also favor the existence of the $N^*(2120)$ resonance, and that these measurements can be used to further constrain its properties.

Instrumentation for Theory-Inspired Photocathode Development within the Large Area Picosecond Photodetector (LAPPD) Project
Abstract We have designed and are commissioning a laboratory for the growth and characterization of photocathodes at Argonne National Laboratory. Two growth facilities, a versatile ultra high vacuum growth chamber and an industrial photomultiplier production facility, allow the investigation of fundamental aspects of the cathode growth and the development, modification and implementation of recipes in an industrial production environment. The instrumentation allows the study of optical properties, electrical behaviors and spectral response of the cathode.

High Performance Photocathodes based on Molecular Beam Epitaxy Deposition for Next Generation Photo Detectors and Light Sources
The development of high-performance photocathodes is a key challenge for future accelerator and particle physics applications. In this paper photocathode growth through molecular beam epitaxy is introduced as a promising technique to obtain robust, highly efficient alkali-antimonide based photocathodes. Recent research shows that the quantum efficiency of photocathodes can be significantly enhanced through control of the photocathode crystallinity. Molecular beam epitaxy allows for cost-effective growth of large-area photocathodes with excellent control of the stoichiometry and crystallinity, making photocathodes with peak quantum efficiencies exceeding 35% routine.
