AtR Controls Evaluation Group Meeting Summary

This report summarizes the conversation during the month of January 1996 following the commissioning of the U and W of the AGS to RHIC transfer lines in the fall of 199

Comparing and Defining Magnetic Multipoles: I. MAD and TEAPOT And II. RHIC Measurements and TEAPOT

The definitions of the magnetic field in MAD and in the standard multipole expansion (SME) used internally by Teapot are different. This note, perhaps for the umpTeenth time, defines the relationship between the two field definitions, assuming that they are in fact referring to the same physical quantity. After this discussion we define the relationship between RHIC's measured multipole coefficients and those of Teapot

Generalized Bohr-Sommerfeld rules for anomalies with applications to symmetry breakdown and decoupling

In the presence of anomalies, the requirement that a classical symmetry group G has a proper action on the fermion measure or in the effective Lagrangian description imposes Bohr-Sommerfeld conditions on the anomalies, and often implies that G is broken to a subgroup H as well. We show these results in this paper and apply them to QCD and SU(5). In particular, constraints on the QCD order parameter are derived, and an argument is presented which suggests that the breakdown of the chiral flavor symmetry and the emergence of some sort of generation structure in QCD may be natural

Coloured Monopoles From Fractional Charges in OCD

In a recent paper, Slansky et al. have suggested that SU(3)c may be broken to SO(3) X Z, in order to explain the possible existence of fractionally charged states. We point out that there are low mass monopoles associated with such a symmetry breakdown and discuss their properties. Such states may be observable at LEP if not at PETRA energies

Nonperturbative proof of the non-Abelian anomalies

We give a nonperturbative derivation of non-Abelian anomalies

ATR Commissioning Software Task Force Report

The Beam Injection Test Software Task Force was Charged with Studying software needed for the ATR Test, seen as a stepping stone or template for the larger scope for the full RHIC control system. This report outlines our avenues of exploration so far, present the current analysis and implementation work in progress, and gives recommendation for the future on the ATR and longer time scales
