Experimental progress in the measurement and control of single atom trajectory
In this review article, the progress and recent developments in the measuring and controlling of single atom trajectories are reviewed. With the development of laser cooling and trapping technology, it is possible to achieve the measurement and control of single atom trajectory experimentally. The experiment of tracking a single atom trajectory with high resolution and the endeavor of eliminating the degeneracy of the trajectories are then introduced.

Sensitive Detection of Individual Neutral Atoms in a Strong Coupling Cavity QED System
We experimentally demonstrate real-time detection of individual cesium atoms by using a high-finesse optical micro-cavity in a strong coupling regime. A cloud of cesium atoms is trapped in a magneto-optical trap positioned at 5 mm above the micro-cavity center. The atoms fall down freely in gravitation after shutting off the magneto-optical trap and pass through the cavity. The cavity transmission is strongly affected by the atoms in the cavity, which enables the micro-cavity to sense the atoms individually. We detect the single atom transits either in the resonance or various detunings. The single atom vacuum-Rabi splitting is directly measured to be ? = 2? ? 23.9 MHz. The average duration of atom-cavity coupling of about 110 ?s is obtained according to the probability distribution of the atom transits.

First muon-neutrino disappearance study with an off-axis beam
We report a measurement of muon-neutrino disappearance in the T2K experiment. The 295-km muon-neutrino beam from Tokai to Kamioka is the first implementation of the off-axis technique in a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. With data corresponding to 1.43 x 10(20) protons on target, we observe 31 fully-contained single mu-like ring events in Super-Kamiokande, compared with an expectation of 104 +/- 14 (syst) events without neutrino oscillations. The best-fit point for two-flavor nu(mu) -> nu(tau) oscillations is sin(2)(2 theta(23)) = 0.98 and vertical bar Delta m(32)(2)vertical bar = 2.65 x 10(-3) eV(2). The boundary of the 90% confidence region includes the points sin(2)(2 theta(23)), vertical bar Delta m(32)(2)vertical bar = (1.0, 3.1 x 10(-3) eV(2)), (0.84, 2.65 x 10(-3) eV(2)) and (1.0, 2.2 x 10(-3) eV(2)).

Progress report on high-gradient RF studies in copper accelerator structures
This paper is a progress report on studies carried out at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center to understand the behavior of copper accelerator structures under extremely high RF fields. Such structures are being designed for future electron-positron linear colliders. Recent studies include field emission and breakdown experiments with an S-band slotted-disk structure, a single demountable S-band cavity and a short X-band structure which has not yet been tested. The demountable cavity was built specifically to examine the effects of copper quality, surface conditioning, gaseous exposures, and surface damage. Results to date and recent theoretical conjectures are discussed.

Bunch-by-bunch measurement and feedback system of HLS
In this paper, HLS (Hefei light Source) bunch-by-bunch measurement and feedback system will be introduced. This system is integrated with longitudinal oscillation measurement system, fast vector control, fiber notch filter and bunch current detection system. The detail of the two fronts will be shown. Some experimental results by this system are also present in this paper, as phase-space tracing, mode dumping rate, and feedback experiments.

Charmonium production in e+ e- collision
The heavy quarkonium production is an important tool to investigate Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). In this paper, we briefly review the status about the charmonium production problems at e + e − colliders, especially on the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the relevant processes.
