Different kinds of analysis methods on a rectangular combined function bending magnet
Magnetic field features of a rectangular combined function bending magnet are different from the sector magnet. A strong edge focusing factor (i.e., thin lens effect) intrinsically exists at the two magnet edges for the rectangular bending magnet. Therefore, in this study, we develop two kinds of Hall probe mapping trajectory with four analysis methods to measure and analyze the bending magnet’s field behavior. A sufficient correlation among the four methods is an important feature. Those methods are individually used to derive the pole face tilt and bent, the effective magnetic length and to check the specification establish by the beam dynamics group. As for the two mapping methods, one is called “Radial Mapping” whose mapping trajectories in the longitudinal direction (s-axis) follow the different arc lengths of radius pkr and the transverse trajectories follow the radial displacement kr perpendicular to the arc trajectory. The other one is called “Lamination Mapping” whose mapping trajectories in the longitudinal direction follow the constant arc length of circle radius p and the transverse trajectories follow the transverse axis displacement 5.x parallel to the lamination direction. This study also discusses the differences between those two mapping methods. Results obtained from the harmonic field distribution along the longitudinal direction (including the fringing field) and the main components of the integral strength are compared. The subsequent error of the four analysis methods is 0.01% for the dipole strength and 0.3% for the quadrupole strength individually. According to the specifications, those analysis errors are acceptable. Meanwhile, the accuracies of different methods for the higher multipole strengths are all within tolerances. The peculiar sextupole held behavior at the two magnet edges from the different mapping methods is owing to the effective magnet pole face that will be discussed.

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 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.

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.

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.

Strong and radiative decays of heavy mesons in a covariant model
A bstractIn this paper, we investigate symmetry breaking effects in strong and radiative decays of heavy mesons. We study 1/mQ corrections within the heavy quark effective theory. These effects are studied in a covariant model for heavy mesons. The numerical results are consistent with the experimental data and some other theoretical calculations. These provide a vote of confidence for the validity of this covariant model.

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.

SU(3)symmetry breaking in decay constants and electromagnetic properties of pseudoscalar heavy mesons
In this paper, the decay constants and mean square radii of pseudoscalar heavy mesons are studied in the $SU(3)$ symmetry breaking. Within the light-front framework, the ratios ${f}_{{D}_{s}}/{f}_{D}$ and ${f}_{{B}_{s}}/{f}_{B}$ are individually estimated using the hyperfine splittings in the ${D}_{(s)}^{*}\ensuremath{-}{D}_{(s)}$ and ${B}_{(s)}^{*}\ensuremath{-}{B}_{(s)}$ states and the light quark masses, ${m}_{s,q}$ ($q=u$, $d$), to extract the wave function parameter $\ensuremath{\beta}$. The values ${f}_{{D}_{s}}/{f}_{D}=1.29\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.07$ and ${f}_{{B}_{s}}/{f}_{B}=1.32\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.08$ are obtained, which are not only chiefly determined by the ratio of light quark masses ${m}_{s}/{m}_{q}$, but also insensitive to the heavy quark masses ${m}_{c,b}$ and the decay constants ${f}_{D,B}$. The dependence of ${f}_{{B}_{c}}/{f}_{B}$ on $\ensuremath{\Delta}{M}_{{B}_{c}{B}_{c}^{*}}$ with the varied charm quark masses is also shown. In addition, the mean square radii are estimated as well. The values $\sqrt{⟨{r}_{{D}_{s}^{+}}^{2}⟩/⟨{r}_{{D}^{+}}^{2}⟩}={0.740}_{+0.050}^{\ensuremath{-}0.041}$ and $\sqrt{⟨{r}_{{B}_{s}^{0}}^{2}⟩/⟨{r}_{{B}^{0}}^{2}⟩}={0.711}_{+0.058}^{\ensuremath{-}0.049}$ are obtained, and the sensitivities of $⟨{r}_{P}^{2}⟩$ on the heavy and light quark masses are similar to those of the decay constants.

Meson distribution amplitudes in holographic models
We study the wave functions of light and heavy mesons in both hard-wall (HW) and soft-wall (SW) holographic models which use AdS/CFT correspondence. In the case of massless constituents, the asymptotic behaviors of the electromagnetic form factor, the distribution amplitudes, and the decay constants for the two models are the same, if the relation between the dilaton scale parameter and the size of meson is an inverse proportion. On the other hand, by introducing a quark mass dependence in the wave function, the differences of the distribution amplitudes between the two models are obvious. In addition, for the SW model, the dependences of the decay constants of meson on the dilaton scale parameter $\kappa$ differ; especially f_{Qq}\sim \kappa^3/m_Q^2 is consistent with the prediction of the heavy quark effective theory if \kappa\sim m_Q^{1/2}. Thus the parameters of the two models are fit by the decay constants of the distinct mesons; the distribution amplitudes and the \xi-moments are calculated and compared.
