Conformal mapping of Unruh temperature
Thanks to a local interpetation of the KMS condition, the mapping from
(unbounded) wedge regions of Minkowski space-time to (bounded) double-cone
regions is extended to the Unruh temperature associated to relevant observers
in both regions. A previous result, the diamond's temperature, is shown to be
proportional to the inverse of the conformal factor (Weyl rescaling of the
metric) of this map. One thus explains from a mathematical point of view why an
observer with finite lifetime experiences the vacuum as a thermal state
whatever his acceleration, even vanishing.Comment: Paper shortened and reorganized. To be published in Modern Physics

Endomorphism Semigroups and Lightlike Translations
Certain criteria are demonstrated for a spatial derivation of a von Neumann
algebra to generate a one-parameter semigroup of endomorphisms of that algebra.
These are then used to establish a converse to recent results of Borchers and
of Wiesbrock on certain one-parameter semigroups of endomorphisms of von
Neumann algebras (specifically, Type III_1 factors) that appear as lightlike
translations in the theory of algebras of local observables.Comment: 9 pages, Late
Beam-Breakup Instability Theory for Energy Recovery Linacs
Here we will derive the general theory of the beam-breakup instability in
recirculating linear accelerators, in which the bunches do not have to be at
the same RF phase during each recirculation turn. This is important for the
description of energy recovery linacs (ERLs) where bunches are recirculated at
a decelerating phase of the RF wave and for other recirculator arrangements
where different RF phases are of an advantage. Furthermore it can be used for
the analysis of phase errors of recirculated bunches. It is shown how the
threshold current for a given linac can be computed and a remarkable agreement
with tracking data is demonstrated. The general formulas are then analyzed for
several analytically solvable cases, which show: (a) Why different higher order
modes (HOM) in one cavity do not couple so that the most dangerous modes can be
considered individually. (b) How different HOM frequencies have to be in order
to consider them separately. (c) That no optics can cause the HOMs of two
cavities to cancel. (d) How an optics can avoid the addition of the
instabilities of two cavities. (e) How a HOM in a multiple-turn recirculator
interferes with itself. Furthermore, a simple method to compute the orbit
deviations produced by cavity misalignments has also been introduced. It is
shown that the BBU instability always occurs before the orbit excursion becomes
very large.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figure
Coupled-Bunch Beam Breakup due to Resistive-Wall Wake
The coupled-bunch beam breakup problem excited by the resistive wall wake is
formulated. An approximate analytic method of finding the asymptotic behavior
of the transverse bunch displacement is developed and solved.Comment: 8 page
Schwarzschild black hole with global monopole charge
We derive the metric for a Schwarzschild black hole with global monopole
charge by relaxing asymptotic flatness of the Schwarzschild field. We then
study the effect of global monopole charge on particle orbits and the Hawking
radiation. It turns out that existence, boundedness and stability of circular
orbits scale up by , and the perihelion shift and the
light bending by , while the Hawking temperature scales
down by the Schwarzschild values. Here is the
global charge.Comment: 12 pages, LaTeX versio
A New Approach to Spin and Statistics
We give an algebraic proof of the spin-statistics connection for the
parabosonic and parafermionic quantum topological charges of a theory of local
observables with a modular PCT-symmetry. The argument avoids the use of the
spinor calculus and also works in 1+2 dimensions. It is expected to be a
progress towards a general spin-statistics theorem including also
(1+2)-dimensional theories with braid group statistics.Comment: LATEX, 15 pages, no figure
An algebraic Haag's theorem
Under natural conditions (such as split property and geometric modular action
of wedge algebras) it is shown that the unitary equivalence class of the net of
local (von Neumann) algebras in the vacuum sector associated to double cones
with bases on a fixed space-like hyperplane completely determines an algebraic
QFT model. More precisely, if for two models there is unitary connecting all of
these algebras, then --- without assuming that this unitary also connects their
respective vacuum states or spacetime symmetry representations --- it follows
that the two models are equivalent. This result might be viewed as an algebraic
version of the celebrated theorem of Rudolf Haag about problems regarding the
so-called "interaction-picture" in QFT.
Original motivation of the author for finding such an algebraic version came
from conformal chiral QFT. Both the chiral case as well as a related conjecture
about standard half-sided modular inclusions will be also discussed

A high-average-power FEL for industrial applications
CEBAF has developed a comprehensive conceptual design of an industrial user facility based on a kilowatt UV (150-1000 nm) and IR (2-25 micron) FEL driven by a recirculating, energy-recovering 200 MeV superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) accelerator. FEL users{endash}CEBAF`s partners in the Laser Processing Consortium, including AT&T, DuPont, IBM, Northrop-Grumman, 3M, and Xerox{endash}plan to develop applications such as polymer surface processing, metals and ceramics micromachining, and metal surface processing, with the overall effort leading to later scale-up to industrial systems at 50-100 kW. Representative applications are described. The proposed high-average-power FEL overcomes limitations of conventional laser sources in available power, cost-effectiveness, tunability and pulse structure. 4 refs., 3 figs., 2 tabs

A proposed high-power UV industrial demonstration laser at CEBAF
The Laser Processing Consortium, a collaboration of industries, universities, and the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) in Newport News, Virginia, has proposed building a demonstration industrial processing laser for surface treatment and micro-machining. The laser is a free-electron laser (FEL) with average power output exceeding 1 kW in the ultraviolet (UV). The design calls for a novel driver accelerator that recovers most of the energy of the exhaust electron beam to produce laser light with good wall-plug efficiency. The laser and accelerator design use technologies that are scalable to much higher power. The authors describe the critical design issues in the laser such as the stability, power handling, and losses of the optical resonator, and the quality, power, and reliability of the electron beam. They also describe the calculated laser performance. Finally progress to date on accelerator development and resonator modeling will be reported
