CRAB Cavity in CERN SPS
Beam collisions with a crossing angle at the interaction point have been
applied in high intensity colliders to reduce the effects of parasitic
collisions which induce emittance growth and beam lifetime deterioration. The
crossing angle causes the geometrical reduction of the luminosity. Crab cavity
can be one of the most promising ways to compensate the crossing angle and to
realize effective head-on collisions. Moreover, the crab crossing mitigates the
synchro-betatron resonances due to the crossing angle. Crab cavity experiment
in SPS is proposed for deciding on a full crab-cavity implementation in LHC. In
this paper, we investigate the effects of crab crossing on beam dynamics and
its life time with the global scheme.Comment: 3 pp. 1st International Particle Accelerator Conference: IPAC'10,

D-Brane Probe and Closed String Tachyons
We consider a D-brane probe in unstable string background associated with
flux branes. The twist in spacetime metric reponsible for the supersymmetry
breaking is shown to manifest itself in mixing of open Wilson lines with the
phases of some adjoint matter fields, resulting in a nonlocal and
nonsupersymmetric form of Yang-Mills theory as the probe dynamics. This
provides a setup where one can study fate of a large class of unstable closed
string theories that include as a limit type 0 theories and various orbifolds
of type II and type 0 theories. We discuss the limit of orbifold
in some detail and speculate on couplings with closed string tachyons.Comment: LaTeX, 17 pages, typos fixed, references update
Black Hole Solutions in Heterotic String Theory on a Torus
We construct the general electrically charged, rotating black hole solution
in the heterotic string theory compactified on a six dimensional torus and
study its classical properties. This black hole is characterized by its mass,
angular momentum, and a 28 dimensional electric charge vector. We recover the
axion-dilaton black holes and Kaluza-Klein black holes for special values of
the charge vector. For a generic black hole of this kind, the 28 dimensional
magnetic dipole moment vector is not proportional to the electric charge
vector, and we need two different gyromagnetic ratios for specifying the
relation between these two vectors. We also give an algorithm for constructing
a 58 parameter rotating dyonic black hole solution in this theory,
characterized by its mass, angular momentum, a 28 dimensional electric charge
vector and a 28 dimensional magnetic charge vector. This is the most general
asymptotically flat black hole solution in this theory consistent with the
no-hair theorem.Comment: LaTeX, 20 pages, A paragraph added discussing the relatioship between

Energy Momentum Tensor and Marginal Deformations in Open String Field Theory
Marginal boundary deformations in a two dimensional conformal field theory
correspond to a family of classical solutions of the equations of motion of
open string field theory. In this paper we develop a systematic method for
relating the parameter labelling the marginal boundary deformation in the
conformal field theory to the parameter labelling the classical solution in
open string field theory. This is done by first constructing the
energy-momentum tensor associated with the classical solution in open string
field theory using Noether method, and then comparing this to the answer
obtained in the conformal field theory by analysing the boundary state. We also
use this method to demonstrate that in open string field theory the tachyon
lump solution on a circle of radius larger than one has vanishing pressure
along the circle direction, as is expected for a codimension one D-brane.Comment: LaTeX file, 25 pages; v2: minor addition
The Transfer Paradox in a One-Sector Overlapping Generations Model
This paper examines the effects of international income transfers on welfare and capital accumulation in a one-sector overlapping generations model. It is shown that a strong form of the transfer paradox-- in which the donor country experiences a welfare gain while the recipient country experiences a welfare loss—may occur both in and out of steady state. In addition, it is shown that a weak form of the transfer paradox—where either the donor or recipient (but not both) experience paradoxical welfare effects—may characterize all segments of the transition path not already characterized by the strong transfer paradox. The results are explained by the effects of transfers on world capital accumulation and the world interest rate, which imply secondary intertemporal welfare effects large enough to dominate the initial effects of the income transfer.Transfer problem, transfer paradox, dynamics, one-sector overlapping generations model
Discrete gravity and and its continuum limit
Recently Gambini and Pullin proposed a new consistent discrete approach to
quantum gravity and applied it to cosmological models. One remarkable result of
this approach is that the cosmological singularity can be avoided in a general
fashion. However, whether the continuum limit of such discretized theories
exists is model dependent. In the case of massless scalar field coupled to
gravity with , the continuum limit can only be achieved by fine
tuning the recurrence constant. We regard this failure as the implication that
cosmological constant should vary with time. For this reason we replace the
massless scalar field by Chaplygin gas which may contribute an effective
cosmological constant term with the evolution of the universe. It turns out
that the continuum limit can be reached in this case indeed.Comment: 16 pages,revised version published in MPL
