Construction of the probe beam photo-injector of CTF3
JACoW web site http://accelconf.web.cern.ch/AccelConf/e06This paper describes the HF (High-Frequency) and dynamic beam modelling performed onto the 3 GHz / 2,5 cells photo-injector of the future CTF3 (CLIC Test Facility 3) probe beam linac. The latter provides the beam to demonstrate the feasibility of the 30 GHz accelerating sections in the framework of the CLIC project. The Probe Beam Photo-Injector (PBPI) is inspired from the Drive Beam Photo-Injector (DBPI) already designed by LAL and actually tested in our laboratory. However, the design of PBPI has been simplified with respect to the previous because the charge per bunch is 4 times lower and the number of bunches several orders of magnitude smaller. The internal geometry and the coupling system of the PBPI have been designed with 2D (SUPERFISH*) and 3D (HFSS**) codes. Based on the modified design, PARMELA and POISSON simulations showed that the technical specifications are fulfilled. The vacuum issue has been also carefully investigated, and NEG (Non Evaporated Getter) technology has been adopted in order to reach the mbar pressure inside the structure. This work is done in deep collaboration with CEA/Saclay, which is responsible of the CTF3 Probe Beam Linac design and construction [1]
Skew-Product Decomposition of Planar Brownian Motion and Complementability
International audienceLet be a complex Brownian motion starting at 0 and the complex Brownian motion defined by . The natural filtration of is the filtration generated by up to an arbitrary rotation. We show that given any two different matrices and in , there exists an -previsible process taking values in such that the Brownian motion generates the whole filtration . As a consequence, for all and in such that , the Brownian motion is complementable in
4D Emittance Measurements Using Multiple Wire and Waist Scan Methods in the ATF Extraction Line.
TUPC087International audienceEmittance measurements performed in the diagnostic section of the ATF extraction line since 1998 lead to ver- tical emittances three times larger than the expected ones, with a strong dependence on intensity. An experimental program is pursued to investigate potential sources of emit- tance growth and ïŹnd possible remedies. This requires ef- ïŹcient and reliable emittance measurement techniques. In the past, several phase-space reconstruction methods devel- oped at SLAC and KEK have been used to estimate the ver- tical emittance, based on multiple location beam size mea- surements and dedicated quadrupole scans. These methods have been shown to be very sensitive to measurement er- rors and other ïŹuctuations in the beam conditions. In this context new emittance measurements have been performed revisiting these methods and newly developed ones with a systematic approach to compare and characterise their per- formance in the ATF extraction line

Field-induced spin density wave in (TMTSF)NO
Interlayer magnetoresistance of the Bechgaard salt (TMTSF)NO is
investigated up to 50 teslas under pressures of a few kilobars. This compound,
the Fermi surface of which is quasi two-dimensional at low temperature, is a
semi metal under pressure. Nevertheless, a field-induced spin density wave is
evidenced at 8.5 kbar above 20 T. This state is characterized by a
drastically different spectrum of the quantum oscillations compared to the low
pressure spin density wave state.Comment: to be published in Phys. Rev. B 71 (2005
PHIL photoinjector test line
LAL is now equiped with its own platform for photoinjectors tests and
Research and Developement, named PHIL (PHotoInjectors at LAL). This facility
has two main purposes: push the limits of the photoinjectors performances
working on both the design and the associated technology and provide a low
energy (MeV) short pulses (ps) electron beam for the interested users. Another
very important goal of this machine will be to provide an opportunity to form
accelerator physics students, working in a high technology environment. To
achieve this goal a test line was realised equipped with an RF source, magnets
and beam diagnostics. In this article we will desrcibe the PHIL beamline and
its characteristics together with the description of the first two
photoinjector realised in LAL and tested: the ALPHAX and the PHIN RF Guns
Superconducting pairing and density-wave instabilities in quasi-one-dimensional conductors
Using a renormalization group approach, we determine the phase diagram of an
extended quasi-one-dimensional electron gas model that includes interchain
hopping, nesting deviations and both intrachain and interchain repulsive
interactions. d-wave superconductivity, which dominates over the
spin-density-wave (SDW) phase at large nesting deviations, becomes unstable to
the benefit of a triplet -wave phase for a weak repulsive interchain
backscattering term , despite the persistence of dominant SDW
correlations in the normal state. Antiferromagnetism becomes unstable against
the formation of a charge-density-wave state when exceeds some
critical value. While these features persist when both Umklapp processes and
interchain forward scattering () are taken into account, the effect
of alone is found to frustrate nearest-neighbor interchain - and
-wave pairing and instead favor next-nearest-neighbor interchain singlet or
triplet pairing. We argue that the close proximity of SDW and
charge-density-wave phases, singlet d-wave and triplet -wave superconducting
phases in the theoretical phase diagram provides a possible explanation for
recent puzzling experimental findings in the Bechgaard salts, including the
coexistence of SDW and charge-density-wave phases and the possibility of a
triplet pairing in the superconducting phase.Comment: 19 pages, 13 figure
Planck pre-launch status: HFI beam expectations from the optical optimisation of the focal plane
Planck is a European Space Agency (ESA) satellite, launched in May 2009, which will map the cosmic microwave background anisotropies in intensity and polarisation with unprecedented detail and sensitivity. It will also provide full-sky maps of astrophysical foregrounds. An accurate knowledge of the telescope beam patterns is an essential element for a correct analysis of the acquired astrophysical data. We present a detailed description of the optical design of the High Frequency Instrument (HFI) together with some of the optical performances measured during the calibration campaigns. We report on the evolution of the knowledge of the pre-launch HFI beam patterns when coupled to ideal telescope elements, and on their significance for the HFI data analysis procedure
