On gauge transformation property of coordinate independent SO(9) vector states in SU(2) Matrix Theory

We investigate coordinate independent SO(9) vector states in SU(2) Matrix theory. There are 36 vector states, and we determine what representations of SU(2) they are decomposed into. Among them we find a unique set of states transforming in adjoint representation. We show that this set of states can appear as the linear term in the coordinate matrices in Taylor expansion of zero energy bound state wavefunction around the origin i.e. it satisfies the condition of full supersymmetry.Comment: 21 pages, no figure, v2: minor correction v3: signs in (3.46) and (3.51) corrected, further calculation on the linear term of the expansion of the wavefunction added, and the conclusion about it changed, v3: minor change in the references, version published in JHE

Spatiotemporal evolution of runaway electrons from synchrotron images in Alcator C-Mod

In the Alcator C-Mod tokamak, relativistic runaway electron (RE) generation can occur during the flattop current phase of low density, diverted plasma discharges. Due to the high toroidal magnetic field (B = 5.4 T), RE synchrotron radiation is measured by a wide-view camera in the visible wavelength range (~400-900 nm). In this paper, a statistical analysis of over one thousand camera images is performed to investigate the plasma conditions under which synchrotron emission is observed in C-Mod. In addition, the spatiotemporal evolution of REs during one particular discharge is explored in detail via a thorough analysis of the distortion-corrected synchrotron images. To accurately predict RE energies, the kinetic solver CODE [Landreman et al 2014 Comput. Phys. Commun. 185 847-855] is used to evolve the electron momentum-space distribution at six locations throughout the plasma: the magnetic axis and flux surfaces q = 1, 4/3, 3/2, 2, and 3. These results, along with the experimentally-measured magnetic topology and camera geometry, are input into the synthetic diagnostic SOFT [Hoppe et al 2018 Nucl. Fusion 58 026032] to simulate synchrotron emission and detection. Interesting spatial structure near the surface q = 2 is found to coincide with the onset of a locked mode and increased MHD activity. Furthermore, the RE density profile evolution is fit by comparing experimental to synthetic images, providing important insight into RE spatiotemporal dynamics

Integrable field theories from Poisson algebras

New integrable 1 + 1 dimensional classical field theories are found that include infinite dimensional analogues of N-particle Toda-and Calogero-Moser systems, as well as non-relativistic theories with an interaction that is polynomial in the first (spatial) derivative of the field. The existence, as well as the involutivity, of an infinite set of independent conserved quantities follows most easily from a 2 + 1 dimensional Lax-pair which uses as its underlying infinite dimensional Lie algebra a Poisson algebra of functions in two variables
