Optical Cavity of the Adone FEL Experiment

A detailed description of the parameter choice for the LELA optical cavity is presented. Particular attention has been devoted to the alignement problems solved by means of a remote control system. First results on mirror damage due to UV radiation will be also reported

Analytic and experimental analysis of the undulator radiation at finite distance as a function of the e-beam parameters

The radiation emitted by the linear undulator installed on a straight section of the ADONE storage ring is studied both experimentally and theoretically. In particular, expressions are provided for the field at finite distance, based on the complex Fresnel integral. In addition, several expressions are derived for the average intensity pattern as a function of the electron beam divergence and energy spread. These formulae are used for analysing the spectral and angular patterns of the radiation measured from a distance of 20 m from the undulator origin. The excellent quality of the undulator and the negligible influence on the pattern of the electron beam divergence are confirmed by the satisfactory agreement of the measured radiation field with the computer-generated one

An upper limit for the radiative decay width of the J/?? resonance into ?????(958)+??

We present the results of a search performed at ADONE for the reaction e ++e -???J/??????????(958)+??. No evidence was found for such a reaction. The upper limit for the decay is {Mathematical expression} keV (90% CL). © 1977 Società Italiana di Fisica
