Space Flyer Unit (SFU)
The DSN (Deep Space Network) mission support requirements for the Space Flyer Unit (SFU) are summarized. The SFU is an unmanned, reusable, and retrievable free-flying platform for multipurpose use. The SFU spacecraft will carry seven individual experiments to be completed during its mission period. The mission objectives are outlined and the DSN support requirements are defined through the presentation of tables and narratives describing the spacecraft flight profile; DSN support coverage; frequency assignments; support parameters for telemetry, command and support systems; and tracking support responsibility
Deformation of Schild String
We attempt to construct new superstring actions with a -plet of Majorana
fermions , where is the dimensional space-time
index and is the two dimensional spinor index, by deforming the Schild
action. As a result, we propose three kinds of actions: the first is invariant
under N=1 (the world-sheet) supersymmetry transformation and the
area-preserving diffeomorphism. The second contains the Yukawa type
interaction. The last possesses some non-locality because of bilinear terms of
. The reasons why completing a Schild type superstring action
with is difficult are finally discussed.Comment: 12 pages, Latex, both title and abstract are changed, discussion of

Fabrication and characterization of high-T/sub c/ SQUID magnetometer with damping resistance
Photon generation by laser-Compton scattering at the KEK-ATF
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
General moments of the inverse real Wishart distribution and orthogonal Weingarten functions
Let be a random positive definite symmetric matrix distributed according
to a real Wishart distribution and let be its inverse
matrix. We compute general moments explicitly. To do so, we employ the orthogonal Weingarten
function, which was recently introduced in the study for Haar-distributed
orthogonal matrices. As applications, we give formulas for moments of traces of
a Wishart matrix and its inverse.Comment: 29 pages. The last version differs from the published version, but it

ERL Scheme for Compton Polarised Positron Sources
International audienceOne of the main challenges for the future linear colliders projects (ILC and CLIC) is to design an efficient positron source taking into account the constraints imposed by the target heating. At present, different schemes have been analysed to produce high energy gammas and to convert them in an amorphous target. One of them considers the possibility to boost the energy of the backscattered photons of a laser pulse by Compton effect. This method is very attractive since the source is independent from the main Linac and since the photon helicity is conserved in Compton scattering and subsequently transferred to the produced pairs. This allows the physics experiments disposing of both positron and electron polarised sources. Different schemes have been proposed to provide the electron beam for the Compton collisions. taking into account the constraint imposed by the low value of the Thomson cross section. One of the explored possibilities is to design an ERL with relatively low repetition frequency, high charge per pulse and then to stack the produced positrons in an accumulation ring. Different considerations on this scheme will be illustrated and the main constraints discussed. MO6RFP06
