THE PROPOSED EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON BEAM-PHOTOELECTRON INTERACTIONS IN BEPC
A vertical collective effect suspected as photoelectron instability (PEI) has been observed at Photon Factory (PF) of KEK in recent years. This phenomena may impose a limitation on the performance of the proposed B-Factories or T-c Factories. An experiment has been planned to test it using positron beam at Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC) in 1996 under the cooperation between IHEP and KEK. Preliminary simulation results have shown that the PEI may occur in BEPC on the total beam current level of 40 mA over more than 20 bunches. The instrumentation for observation of PEI is jointly prepared by both sides of IHEP and KEK. The machine study has been scheduled and the experiment will progress under the conditions of the best machine performance.

Study on the characteristics of linac based THz light source
There are many methods based on linac for THz radiation production. As one of the options for the Beijing Advanced Light, an ERL test facility is proposed for THz radiation. In this test facility, there are 4 kinds of methods to produce THz radiation: coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR), synchrotron radiation (SR), low gain FEL oscillator, and high gain SASE FEL. In this paper, we study the characteristics of the 4 kinds of THz light sources.

Travelling wave accelerating structure design for TESLA positron injector linac
A modified cup-like TW accelerating structure for TESLA Positron Pre-Accelerator (PPA) is designed by optimizing the structure geometry and by changing the iris thickness cell by cell in a section. This structure has high shunt-impedance and a large iris radius to meet with the requirements of high gradient and large transverse acceptance. The beam dynamics in the structure with the optimum solenoid focus held are studied. A satisfactory positron beam transmission and the beam performance at the PPA output have been obtained. In this paper the accelerating structure design is described in detail and the results are presented. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

The experimental study on beam-photoelectron instability in BEPC
A vertical coupled bunch instability explained as the photoelectron instability (PEI) was observed in the photon factory at KEK. To further investigate the instability, the experiments on the PEI have been carried out in Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC) with the collaboration between MEP, China and KEK, Japan. Many interesting phenomena have been observed for different sets of parameters.

Beam dynamics studies on the 100 MeV/100 kW electron linear accelerator for NSC KIPT neutron source
We designed a 100 MeV/100 kW electron linear accelerator for NSC KIPT, which will be used to drive a neutron source on the basis of subcritical assembly. Beam dynamics studies have been conducted to reach the design requirements (E = 100 MeV, P = 100 kW, dE/E < 1% for 99% particles). In this paper, we will present the progress of the design and the dynamic simulation results. For high intensity and long beam pulse linear accelerators, the BBU effect is one big issue; special care has been taken in the accelerating structure design. To satisfy the energy spread requirement at the linac exit, the particles with large energy difference from the synchronous particle should be eliminated at a low energy stage to ease the design of the collimation system and radiation shielding. A dispersion free chicane with 4 bending magnets is introduced downstream of the 1st accelerating section; the unwanted particles will be collimated there.

SPECTRAL ENERGY DISTRIBUTIONS AND AGE ESTIMATES OF 104 M 31 GLOBULAR CLUSTERS
We present photometry of 104 M31 globular clusters (GCs) and GC candidates in 15 intermediate-band filters of the Beijing–Arizona–Taiwan–Connecticut photometric system. The GCs and GC candidates were selected from the Revised Bologna Catalog (v.3.5). We obtain the cluster ages by comparing the photometric data with up-to-date theoretical synthesis models. The photometric data used are Galaxy Evolution Explorer farand near-ultraviolet and Two Micron All Sky Survey near-infrared JHKs magnitudes, combined with optical photometry. The ages of our sample clusters cover a large range, although most clusters are younger than 10 Gyr. Combined with the ages obtained in our series of previous papers focusing on the M31 GC system, we present the full M31 GC age distribution. The M31 GC system contains populations of young and intermediate-age GCs, as well as the “usual” complement of well-known old GCs, i.e., GCs of similar age as the majority of the Galactic GCs. In addition, young GCs (and GC candidates) are distributed nearly uniformly in radial distance from the center of M31, while most old GCs (and GC candidates) are more strongly concentrated.

Observation of spontaneous emitted X-ray betatron radiation in beam-plasma interactions
An experiment is being carried out at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) to see if an ion channel can wiggle a beam of ultra-relativistic electrons to produce X-ray radiation. The goal is to create an intense source of undulator radiation using a plasma wiggler in the 1-10 keV range and also to determine the suitability of such an electrostatic wiggler to create a coherent beam of X-rays via the ion channel laser mechanisml. Here we give some of the scaling laws for the power and frequency distribution of the spontaneous emission from sending an electron beam through such an ion channel. Some initial experimental observations are also presented.

The BES detector
Abstract The Beijing Spectrometer (BES) is a general purpose solenoidal detector at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC). It is designed to study exclusive final states in e + e − annihilations at the center of mass energy from 3.0 to 5.6 GeV. This requires large solid angle coverage combined with good charged particle momentum resolution, good particle identification and high photon detection efficiency at low energies. In this paper we describe the construction and the performance of BES detector.

Search for the standard model Higgs Boson produced in association with top quarks using the full CDF data set.
A search is presented for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with top quarks using the full Run II proton-antiproton collision data set, corresponding to 9.45 fb(-1), collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. No significant excess over the expected background is observed, and 95% credibility-level upper bounds are placed on the cross section σ(ttH → lepton + missing transverse energy+jets). For a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV/c(2), we expect to set a limit of 12.6 and observe a limit of 20.5 times the standard model rate. This represents the most sensitive search for a standard model Higgs boson in this channel to date.
