LATTICE DESIGN FOR THE BEPCII STORAGE RING
BEPCII, the upgrading project of the BEPC, has been being designed with a luminosity of 10 33 cm -2 s -1 at the J/ψ energy. It still keeps the potential to provide beams as a synchrotron radiation (SR) facility. The storage rings for collision contain a positron and an electron ring and the ring for dedicated SR uses the outer parts of the two rings. To fit all the conditions either on beam or on space limit, lattices are carefully designed for both high energy physics and SR experiments with sufficient dynamic apertures and high efficiencies for injection. The features of the lattices are also discussed in the paper. 1 DESIGN REQUIREMENTS BEPCII is an upgrade project of the Beijing ElectronPositron Collider (BEPC), in which a new inner ring will be installed inside the old one. It will provide colliding beams with the center-of-mass energy from 1.0GeV×2 to 2.0GeV×2 and also the dedicated synchrotron radiation beam with 2.5 GeV. For the colliding beams the luminosity is optimized at 1.89 GeV with 1×10 33 cm -2 s -1 . For the dedicated synchrotron radiation beam, the current is 250 mA with an emittance as low as possible. There have been several beam-lines in the BEPC for the synchrotron radiation experiments, so the current bending magnets and insertion devices in the southern region have to be fixed at their present positions. In order to increase the average luminosity, the “topoff” injection scheme up to 1.89 GeV is adopted. This requires that the injection and collision optics must be the same. The main parameters are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

DESIGN OF BEAM TRANSPORT LINE FROM RCS TO TARGET FOR CSNS
China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) uses the high energy proton beam to strike the Tungsten target to generate neutrons through spallation reaction. The proton beam is extracted from the Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS), whose beam power reaches 100 kW. For the sake of target lifetime, beam distribution at the target surface is required as uniform as possible. Nonlinear beam density redistribution method with two octupole magnets has been studied. Also some simulation and theoretical calculation have been done. According to the simulation result, the beam density at the target is optimized and the beam loss is under control.

General conditions for self-cancellation of geometric aberrations in a lattice structure
In this paper we will discuss the general conditions for self-cancellation of geometric aberrations in an uncoupled or even coupled lattice structure. The self-cancellation conditions show that - I transformer even noninterleaved multipoles is not necessary. We will also give two examples for sextupole case to specify the application.

BEAM DYNAMIC ISSUES IN THE BEPCII LUMINOSITY COMMISSIONING
As a τ-charm factory like collider, the upgrade project of the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCII), has reached 1/3 of the design luminosity. During the luminosity commissioning, beam optics recovery, machine parameters measurement, detector solenoid compensation, and instability cure are main problems we met. Besides commissioning the machine, beams were delivered to the users from high energy physics and synchrotron radiation. This paper summarizes the accelerator physics issues in the BEPCII luminosity commissioning from 2009. INTRODUCTION BEPCII was designed as a factory-like collider with a design luminosity of 1×10cms at the beam energy of 1.89GeV. It is characterized as “one machine, two purposes”, which means to provide beam not only for high energy physics experiment, but also for synchrotron radiation (SR) users in parasitic or dedicated mode. Using the BEPC tunnel, BEPCII keeps the linac and two transport lines same as BEPC, but was upgraded as two rings in parallel to store e and e beams, respectively, and named as BER and BPR. The two halves of the outer rings are connected as an SR ring, the third ring named as BSR, with 9 beam lines extracted from 5 wigglers, and other 6 beam lines from bending magnets. To save the budget, all the beam line extraction ports are kept the same as BEPC. The layout of BEPCII is shown in Fig. 1.

Detection of scintillation light in coincidence with ionizing tracks in a liquid argon time projection chamber
A system to detect light from liquid argon scintillation has been implemented in a small, ICARUS-like, liquid argon time projection chamber. The system, which uses a VUV-sensitive photomultiplier to collect the light, has recorded many ionizing tracks from cosmic-rays in coincidence with scintillation signals. Our measurements demonstrate that scintillation light detection can provide an effective method for absolute time measurement of events and eventually a useful trigger signal.

Measurements of the continuum R(uds) and R values in e(+)e(-) annihilation in the energy region between 3.650 and 3.872 GeV.
We report measurements of the continuum R(uds) near the center-of-mass energy of 3.70 GeV, the R[uds(c)+psi(3770)](s) and the R(had)(s) values in e(+)e(-) annihilation at 68 energy points in the energy region between 3.650 and 3.872 GeV with the BES-II detector at the BEPC Collider. We obtain the R(uds) for the continuum light hadron (containing u, d, and s quarks) production near the DD threshold to be R(uds)=2.141+/-0.025+/-0.085.

Measurement of the final states omega pi0, rho eta, and rho eta prime from psi (2S) electromagnetic decays and e+e- annihilations
Cross sections and form factors for $\ee \to \wpi$, $\rho\eta$, and $\rho\etap$ at center of mass energies of 3.650, 3.686, and 3.773 GeV are measured using data samples collected with the BESII detector at the BEPC. Also, the branching fractions of $\psi(2S) \rar \wpi$, $\rho\eta$, and $\rho\etap$ are determined to be $(1.87^{+0.68}_{-0.62}\pm0.28)\times 10^{-5}$, $(1.78^{+0.67}_{-0.62}\pm0.17)\times 10^{-5}$, and $(1.87^{+1.64}_{-1.11}\pm0.33)\times10^{-5}$, respectively.

Search for the Lepton Flavor Violation Process J/ψ→eμ at BESIII
We search for the lepton-flavor-violating decay of the J/psi into an electron and a muon using (225.3 +/- 2.8) x 10(6) J/psi events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII. Four candidate events are found in the signal region, consistent with background expectations. An upper limit on the branching fraction of B(J/psi -> e mu) <1.6 x 10(-7) (90% C.L.) is obtained.

KLOE perspectives for R measurements at DAFNE2
As a future upgrade of the Frascati phi factory DAPHNE an increase of the center-of-mass energy of the accelerator up to W=2GeV has been proposed (DAFNE2). In this case the hadronic cross section in the energy range between 1-2 GeV can be measured with the KLOE detector. The feasibility of these measurements and the impact on the hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon are discussed. The possibilities for an energy scan are compared with the radiative return technique, in which the accelerator is running at a fixed center-of-mass energy and ISR-events are taken to lower the invariant mass of the hadronic system.

Tests of MVD prototype pad detector with a β- source
Abstract The MVD group has been testing two versions of silicon pad detectors. One design uses a single metal layer for readout trace routing. The second type uses two layers of metal, allowing for greatly simplified signal routing. However, because the readout traces for the pads pass over the other pads in the same column (separated by an oxide layer), the double-metal design introduces crosstalk into the system. A simple test stand using a 90 Sr β − source with scintillator triggers was made to estimate the crosstalk. The crosstalk between pads in the same column of the pad detector was 1.6–3.1%. The values measured between pads in different columns were very close to zero. The measured crosstalk was below our maximum allowed value of 7.8%.
