Excitation of Large Transverse Beam Oscillations without Emittance Blow-up using the AC-Dipole Principle

The so-called "AC-Dipole" principle allows the excitation of transverse oscillations to large (several sigma) excursions without emittance blow-up. The idea was originally proposed and tested at BNL for resonance crossing with polarized beams, using an orbit corrector dipole with an excitation frequency close to the betatron tune, hence "AC-Dipole". This method of beam excitation has several potential applications in teh LHC, such as phase advance and beta-measurements, dynamic aperture studies and the investigation of resonance strengths. The technique was recently tested in the CERN SPS using the transverse damper as an "AC-Dipole" providing the fixed frequency excitation. Results from this experiment are presented, along with an explanation of the underlying principle

Evolution of Liouville density of a chaotic system

An area-preserving map of the unit sphere, consisting of alternating twists and turns, is mostly chaotic. A Liouville density on that sphere is specified by means of its expansion into spherical harmonics. That expansion initially necessitates only a finite number of basis functions. As the dynamical mapping proceeds, it is found that the number of non-negligible coefficients increases exponentially with the number of steps. This is to be contrasted with the behavior of a Schr\"odinger wave function which requires, for the analogous quantum system, a basis of fixed size.Comment: LaTeX 4 pages (27 kB) followed by four short PostScript files (2 kB + 2 kB + 1 kB + 4 kB

Inflammation and altered metabolism impede efficacy of functional electrical stimulation in critically ill patients.

BACKGROUND: Critically ill patients suffer from acute muscle wasting, which is associated with significant physical functional impairment. We describe data from nested muscle biopsy studies from two trials of functional electrical stimulation (FES) that did not shown improvements in physical function. METHODS: Primary cohort: single-centre randomized controlled trial. Additional healthy volunteer data from patients undergoing elective hip arthroplasty. Validation cohort: Four-centre randomized controlled trial. INTERVENTION: FES cycling for 60-90min/day. ANALYSES: Skeletal muscle mRNA expression of 223 genes underwent hierarchal clustering for targeted analysis and validation. RESULTS: Positively enriched pathways between healthy volunteers and ICU participants were "stress response", "response to stimuli" and "protein metabolism", in keeping with published data. Positively enriched pathways between admission and day 7 ICU participants were "FOXO-mediated transcription" (admission = 0.48 ± 0.94, day 7 = - 0.47 ± 1.04 mean log2 fold change; P = 0.042), "Fatty acid metabolism" (admission = 0.50 ± 0.67, day 7 = 0.07 ± 1.65 mean log2 fold change; P = 0.042) and "Interleukin-1 processing" (admission = 0.88 ± 0.50, day 7 = 0.97 ± 0.76 mean log2 fold change; P = 0.054). Muscle mRNA expression of UCP3 (P = 0.030) and DGKD (P = 0.040) decreased in both cohorts with no between group differences. Changes in IL-18 were not observed in the validation cohort (P = 0.268). Targeted analyses related to intramuscular mitochondrial substrate oxidation, fatty acid oxidation and intramuscular inflammation showed PPARγ-C1α; (P  0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Intramuscular inflammation and altered substrate utilization are persistent in skeletal muscle during first week of critical illness and are not improved by the application of Functional Electrical Stimulation-assisted exercise. Future trials of exercise to prevent muscle wasting and physical impairment are unlikely to be successful unless these processes are addressed by other means than exercise alone

First Observation of the Decays (B)over-bar(0) -> D+K-pi(+)pi(-) and B- -> (DK-)-K-0 pi(+)pi(-)

First observations of the Cabibbo-suppressed decays B¯0 → D+K-π+π- and B- → D0K-π+π- are reported using 35 pB-1 of data collected with the LHCb detector. Their branching fractions are measured with respect to the corresponding Cabibbo-favored decays, from which we obtain B(B¯0→ D+K-π+π-)/B(B¯0→D+π-π+π-)=(5.9±1.1±0.5)×10-2 and B(B-→D0K-π+π-)/B(B-→ D0π-π+π-)=(9.4±1.3±0.9)×10-2, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The B- → D0K-π+π- decay is particularly interesting, as it can be used in a similar way to B- → D0K- to measure the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa phase γ. © 2012 CERN

Chaotic Evolution in Quantum Mechanics

A quantum system is described, whose wave function has a complexity which increases exponentially with time. Namely, for any fixed orthonormal basis, the number of components required for an accurate representation of the wave function increases exponentially.Comment: 8 pages (LaTeX 16 kB, followed by PostScript 2 kB for figure

Nonperturbative Vertices in Supersymmetric Quantum Electrodynamics

We derive the complete set of supersymmetric Ward identities involving only two- and three- point proper vertices in supersymmetric QED. We also present the most general form of the proper vertices consistent with both the supersymmetric and U(1) gauge Ward identities. These vertices are the supersymmetric equivalent of the non supersymmetric Ball-Chiu vertices.Comment: seventeen pages late
