Measurement of quasi-elastic 12C(p,2p) scattering at high momentum transfer
We measured the high-momentum quasi-elastic 12C(p,2p) reaction (at center of
mass angle near 90 degrees) for 6 and 7.5 GeV/c incident protons. The
three-momentum components of both final state protons were measured and the
missing energy and momentum of the target proton in the nucleus were
determined.
The validity of the quasi-elastic picture was verified up to Fermi momenta of
about 450 MeV/c, where it might be questionable. Transverse and longitudinal
Fermi momentum distributions of the target proton were measured and compared to
independent particle models which do not reproduce the large momentum tails. We
also observed that the transverse Fermi distribution gets wider as the
longitudinal component increases in the beam direction, in contrast to a simple
Fermi gas model.Comment: 4 pages including 3 figure

Microwave-induced control of Free Electron Laser radiation
The dynamical response of a relativistic bunch of electrons injected in a
planar magnetic undulator and interacting with a counterpropagating
electromagnetic wave is studied. We demonstrate a resonance condition for which
the free electron laser (FEL) dynamics is strongly influenced by the presence
of the external field. It opens up the possibility of control of short
wavelength FEL emission characteristics by changing the parameters of the
microwave field without requiring change in the undulator's geometry or
configuration. Numerical examples, assuming realistic parameter values
analogous to those of the TTF-FEL, currently under development at DESY, are
given for possible control of the amplitude or the polarization of the emitted
radiation.Comment: 14 pages, 5 figures, accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.

Possibilities of polarized protons in Sp anti p S and other high energy hadron colliders
The requirements for collisions with polarized protons in hadron colliders above 200 GeV are listed and briefly discussed. Particular attention is given to the use of the ''Siberan snake'' to eliminate depolarizing resonances, which occur when the spin precession frequency equals a frequency contained in the spectrum of the field seen by the beam. The Siberian snake is a device which makes the spin precession frequency essentially constant by using spin rotators, which precess the spin by 180/sup 0/ about either the longitudinal or transverse horizontal axis. It is concluded that operation with polarized protons should be possible at all the high energy hadron colliders. (LEW
ACCELERATION OF DEUTERONS OR ALPHA PARTICLES IN THE AGS. Internal Report
Possible experiments that could be performed at the Brookhaven alternating gradient synchrotron using highenergy deuterons and heavier nuclei are reviewed. Particular attention is given to production of high-energy neutrons by stripping. A brief analysis of changes needed to accelerate heavier nuclei reveals such modifications would not be prohibitive.
