    Photon generation by laser-Compton scattering at the KEK-ATF

    Full text link
    We performed a photon generation experiment by laser-Compton scattering at the KEK-ATF, aiming to develop a Compton based polarized positron source for linear colliders. In the experiment, laser pulses with a 357 MHz repetition rate were accumulated and their power was enhanced by up to 250 times in the Fabry-Perot optical resonant cavity. We succeeded in synchronizing the laser pulses and colliding them with the 1.3 GeV electron beam in the ATF ring while maintaining the laser pulse accumulation in the cavity. As a result, we observed 26.0 +/- 0.1 photons per electron-laser pulse crossing, which corresponds to a yield of 10^8 photons in a second.Comment: 3 pages, 5 figures, Preprint submitted to TIPP09 Proceedings in NIM

    Thermoelectric properties of the layered Pd oxide R_2PdO_4 (R = La, Nd, Sm and Gd)

    We prepared polycrystalline samples of R2_2PdO4_4 (R = La, Nd, Sm and Gd) using a NaCl-flux technique. The measured resistivity is of the order of 103−104^3-10^4 Ω\Omegacm at room temperature, which is two orders of magnitude smaller than the values reported so far. We further studied the substitution effects of Ce for Nd in Nd1.9_{1.9}Ce0.1_{0.1}PdO4_4, where the substituted Ce decreases the resistivity and the magnitude of the thermopower. The activation energy gap of 70-80 meV and the effective mass of 15 evaluated from the measured data are suitable for thermoelectric materials, but the mobility of 10−6^{-6} cm2^2/Vs is much lower than a typical value of 1-10 cm2^2/Vs for other thermoelectric oxides.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, to appear in J.

    Impurity-induced transition and impurity-enhanced thermopower in the thermoelectric oxide NaCo_{2-x}Cu_x$O_4

    Full text link
    Various physical quantities are measured and analysed for the Cu-substituted thermoelectric oxide NaCo_{2-x}Cu_xO_4. As was previously known, the substituted Cu enhances the thermoelectric power, while it does not increase the resistivity significantly. The susceptibility and the electron specific-heat are substantially decreased with increasing x, which implies that the substituted Cu decreases the effective-mass enhancement. Through a quantitative comparison with the heavy fermion compounds and the valence fluctuation systems, we have found that the Cu substitution effectively increases the coupling between the conduction electron and the magnetic fluctuation. The Cu substitution induces a phase transition at 22 K that is very similar to a spin-density-wave transition.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.

    Manipulating ionization path in a Stark map: Stringent schemes for the selective field ionization in highly excited Rb Rydberg atoms

    Get PDF
    We have developed a quite stringent method in selectivity to ionize the low angular- momentum (ℓ\ell) states which lie below and above the adjacent manifold in highly excited Rb Rydberg atoms. The method fully exploits the pulsed field-ionization characteristics of the manifold states in high slew-rate regime: Specifically the low ℓ\ell state below (above) the adjacent manifold is firstly transferred to the lowest (highest) state in the manifold via the adiabatic transition at the first avoided crossing in low slew-rate regime, and then the atoms are driven to a high electric field for ionization in high slew-rate regime. These extreme states of the manifold are ionized at quite different fields due to the tunneling process, resulting in thus the stringent selectivity. Two manipulation schemes to realize this method actually are demonstrated here experimentally.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure

    Measurement of parity-nonconserving rotation of neutron spin in the 0.734-eV p-wave resonance of 139La^{139}La

    The parity nonconserving spin rotation of neutrons in the 0.734-eV p-wave resonance of 139La^{139}La was measured with the neutron transmission method. Two optically polarized 3He^3He cells were used before and behind a a 5-cm long 139La^{139}La target as a polarizer and an analyzer of neutron spin. The rotation angle was carefully measured by flipping the direction of 3He^3He polarization in the polarizer in sequence. The peak-to-peak value of the spin rotation was found to be (7.4±1.1)×10−3 (7.4 \pm 1.1) \times 10^{-3} rad/cm which was consistent with the previous experiments. But the result was statisticallly improved. The s-p mixing model gives the weak matrix element as xW=(1.71±0.25)xW = (1.71 \pm 0.25) meV. The value agrees well with the one deduced from the parity-nonconserving longitudinal asymmetry in the same resonance
