Damping rate limitations for transverse dampers in large hadron colliders

The paper focuses on two issues important for design and operation of bunch-by-bunch transverse damper in a very large hadron collider, where fast damping is required to suppress beam instabilities and noise induced emittance growth. The first issue is associated with kick variation along a bunch which affects the damping of head-tail modes. The second issue is associated with affect of damper noise on the instability threshold

Hydrodynamic fluctuations in relativistic superfluids

The Hamiltonian formulation of superfluids based on noncanonical Poisson brackets is studied in detail. The assumption that the momentum density is proportional to the flow of the conserved energy is shown to lead to the covariant relativistic theory previously suggested by Khalatnikov, Lebedev and Carter, and some potentials in this theory are given explicitly. We discuss hydrodynamic fluctuations in the presence of dissipative effects and we derive the corresponding set of hydrodynamic correlation functions. Kubo relations for the transport coefficients are obtained.Comment: 13 pages, no figures, two references adde

When a C*-algebra is a coefficient algebra for a given endomorphism

The paper presents a criterion for a C*-algebra to be a coefficient algebra associated with a given endomorphis

Dynamical resurrection of the visibility in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer

We study a single-electron pulse injected into the chiral edge-state of a quantum Hall device and subject to a capacitive Coulomb interaction. We find that the scattered multi-particle state remains unentangled and hence can be created itself by a suitable classical voltage-pulse $V(t)$. The application of the inverse pulse $-V(-t)$ corrects for the shake-up due to the interaction and resurrects the original injected wave packet. We suggest an experiment with an asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer where the application of such pulses manifests itself in an improved visibility.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figur
