Simulation of laser-Compton cooling of electron beams for future linear colliders
We study a method of laser-Compton cooling of electron beams for future
linear colliders. Using a Monte Carlo code, we evaluate the effects of the
laser-electron interaction for transverse cooling. The optics with and without
chromatic correction for the cooling are examined. The laser-Compton cooling
for JLC/NLC at GeV is considered.Comment: 18 pages, 12 figures, 21st ICFA Beam Dynamics Workshop on Laser-Beam

Simulations of the Interaction Region in a Photon-Photon Collider
The status and initial performance of a simulation program CAIN for
interaction region of linear colliders is described. The program is developed
to be applicable for e+e-, e-e-, e-gamma and gamma-gamma linear colliders. As
an example of an application, simulation of a gamma-gamma collider option of
NLC is reported.Comment: 16 pages, 6 eps figures, use epsf.st
Photoemission Properties of LaB6 and CeB6 Under Various Temperature and Incident Photon Energy Conditions
IPAC2016, Busan, KoreaPhotoemission properties of LaB₆ and CeB₆ were investigated at various cathode temperatures and different wavelengths of excitation laser to study for application of electron gun, especially for RF injector of infrared FEL facilities. It was found that the LaB₆ had higher photoemission property than CeB₆ at the same cathode temperature. In addition, LaB₆ can emit a measurable photoemission current being irradiated by laser with energy below work function at the cathode temperature higher than 1400 K. With increasing laser energy (over work function), a photoemission dependency on cathode temperature was getting lower. As the result, LaB₆ is revealed to have better properties than CeB₆ since LaB₆ has higher quantum efficiency than CeB₆ at same temperature

The 2007 WHO Classification of Tumours of the Central Nervous System
The fourth edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of tumours of the central nervous system, published in 2007, lists several new entities, including angiocentric glioma, papillary glioneuronal tumour, rosette-forming glioneuronal tumour of the fourth ventricle, papillary tumour of the pineal region, pituicytoma and spindle cell oncocytoma of the adenohypophysis. Histological variants were added if there was evidence of a different age distribution, location, genetic profile or clinical behaviour; these included pilomyxoid astrocytoma, anaplastic medulloblastoma and medulloblastoma with extensive nodularity. The WHO grading scheme and the sections on genetic profiles were updated and the rhabdoid tumour predisposition syndrome was added to the list of familial tumour syndromes typically involving the nervous system. As in the previous, 2000 edition of the WHO ‘Blue Book’, the classification is accompanied by a concise commentary on clinico-pathological characteristics of each tumour type. The 2007 WHO classification is based on the consensus of an international Working Group of 25 pathologists and geneticists, as well as contributions from more than 70 international experts overall, and is presented as the standard for the definition of brain tumours to the clinical oncology and cancer research communities world-wide
Development of a field measurement system for the Bulk HTSC SAU
11th International Conference on Synchrotron Radiation Instrumentation (SRI 2012)To realize a short-period strong-field undulator, we proposed a high temperature superconducting bulk staggered array undulator (Bulk HTSC SAU) and proceeded proof of principle experiments and numerical studies. We have succeeded to generate periodic transverse magnetic fields whose strength was controlled by an external solenoid field. At the same time, we revealed a problem; at both ends of undulator, field distribution is substantially distorted. We proposed several approaches of field correction. To verify the effectiveness of these field correction methods, it is necessary to measure the magnetic field distribution precisely, not only inside of the undulator but also both ends. For this purpose, we developed a rotary measurement system to measure the magnetic field distribution at the end of the undulator. Multiple Hall sensors are placed on a circuit board at equal intervals from the centre of the board. By rotating and moving the board, the probe can measure axial field in 3D space on the undulator ends. In this paper, we deliver specifics of the system
Studies for a Photon Collider at the ILC
One option at the International Linear Collider is to convert the electron
beams into high energy photon beams by Compton scattering a few millimetres in
front of the interaction region. Selected physics channels for this option have
been analysed and technical issues have been studied. So far no showstoppers
for this option have been found.Comment: V2: Minor changes, accepted by NI
Design Study for Direction Variable Compton Scattering Gamma Ray
11th International Conference on Synchrotron Radiation Instrumentation (SRI 2012)A monochromatic gamma ray beam is attractive for isotope-specific material/medical imaging or non-destructive inspection. A laser Compton scattering (LCS) gamma ray source which is based on the backward Compton scattering of laser light on high-energy electrons can generate energy variable quasi-monochromatic gamma ray. Due to the principle of the LCS gamma ray, the direction of the gamma beam is limited to the direction of the high-energy electrons. Then the target object is placed on the beam axis, and is usually moved if spatial scanning is required. In this work, we proposed an electron beam transport system consisting of four bending magnets which can stick the collision point and control the electron beam direction, and a laser system consisting of a spheroidal mirror and a parabolic mirror which can also stick the collision point. Then the collision point can be placed on one focus of the spheroid. Thus gamma ray direction and collision angle between the electron beam and the laser beam can be easily controlled. As the results, travelling direction of the LCS gamma ray can be controlled under the limitation of the beam transport system, energy of the gamma ray can be controlled by controlling incident angle of the colliding beams, and energy spread can be controlled by changing the divergence of the laser beam
Photo-disintegration cross section measurements on W, Re and Os: Implications for the Re-Os cosmochronology
Cross sections of the W, Re, Os() reactions
were measured using quasi-monochromatic photon beams from laser Compton
scattering (LCS) with average energies from 7.3 to 10.9 MeV. The results are
compared with the predictions of Hauser-Feshbach statistical calculations using
four different sets of input parameters. In addition, the inverse neutron
capture cross sections were evaluated by constraining the model parameters,
especially the strength function, on the basis of the experimental data.
The present experiment helps to further constrain the correction factor
for the neutron capture on the 9.75 keV state in Os.
Implications of to the Re-Os cosmochronology are discussed with a
focus on the uncertainty in the estimate of the age of the Galaxy.Comment: 11 page
