DUALITY AND DIFFRACTION DISSOCIATION
We discuss diffraction dissociation in the context of a dual model. We show how direct-channel resonances in the Pomeranchukon-particle amplitude build the Pomeranchukon in the crossed channel. A result of the enforcement of the Harari-Freund conjecture for particle-particle amplitudes is that the Pomeranchukon-Pomeranchukon-Reggeon coupling is small. The model is tested phenomenologically by the analysis of ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}p({\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}})$ of Lipes, Robertson, and Zweig and by baryon missing-mass data at various energies. It is also tested phenomenologically by the behavior of missing-mass diffraction production peaks, which are predicted to level off or dip near the forward direction as a consequence of the vanishing of the triple-Pomeranchukon coupling.

Anomalous creation of branes
In certain circumstances when two branes pass through each other a third brane is produced stretching between them. We explain this phenomenon by the use of chains of dualities and the inflow of charge that is required for the absence of chiral gauge anomalies when pairs of D-branes intersect.

Anomaly cancellations in supersymmetric D = 10 gauge theory and superstring theory☆
Abstract Supersymmetric ten-dimensional Yang-Mills theory coupled to N = 1, D = 10 supergravity has gauge and gravitational anomalies that can be partially cancelled by the addition of suitable local interactions. The remaining pieces of all the anomalies cancel if the gauge group is SO(32) or E 8 × E 8 . These cancellations are automatically incorporated in the type I superstring theory based on SO(32). A superstring theory for E 8 × E 8 has not yet been constructed.

N=4 Yang-Mills and N=8 Supergravity as Limits of String Theories
The formulation of supersymmetric string theories in ten dimensions is generalized to incorporate compactified dimensions. Expressions for the one-loop four-particle S -matrix elements of N = 4 Yang-Mills and N = 8 supergravity in four dimensions are obtained by studying the string-theory loop amplitudes in the limit that the radii of the compactified dimensions and the Regge slope parameter simultaneously approach zero. If certain patterns that emerge should persist in the higher orders of perturbation theory, then N = 4 Yang-Mills in four dimensions would be ultraviolet finite to all orders, whereas N = 8 supergravity in four dimensions would have ultraviolet divergences starting at three loops.

Off-shell states in the dual model
Abstract We present a class of Lorentz invariant, gauge invariant off-shell amplitudes for the ordinary Veneziano and Ramond-Neveu-Schwarz dual models. They correspond to interactions with the string which are local in space-time.

Design and Construction of Test Coils for MICE Coupling Solenoid Magnet
The superconducting coupling solenoid to be applied in the Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) is made from copper matrix Nb-Ti conductors with inner radius of 750 mm, length of 285 mm and thickness of 102.5 mm at room temperature. The magnetic field up to 2.6 T at the magnet centerline is to keep the muons within the MICE RF cavities. Its self inductance is around 592 H and its magnet stored energy is about 13 MJ at a full current of 210 A for the worst operation case of the MICE channel. The stress induced inside the coil during cool down and charging is relatively high. Two test coils are to build and test in order to validate the design method and develop the fabrication technique required for the coupling coil winding, one is 350 mm inner diameter and full length same as the coupling coil, and the other is one-quarter length and 1.5 m diameter. The 1.5 m diameter coil will be charged to strain conditions that are greater than would be encountered in the coupling coil. This paper presents detailed design of the test coils as well as developed winding skills. The analyses on stress in coil assemblies, AC loss, and quench process are carried out.

The mechanical and thermal design for the MICE coupling solenoid magnet
The MICE coupling solenoids surround the RF cavities that are used to increase the longitudinal momentum of the muon beam that is being cooled within MICE. The coupling solenoids will have a warm-bore diameter of 1394 mm. This is the warm bore that is around the 200 MHz RF cavities. The coupling solenoid is a single superconducting coil fabricated from a copper matrix Nb-Ti conductor originally designed for MRI magnets. A single coupling magnet is designed so that it can be cooled with a single 1.5 W (at 4.2 K) cooler. The MICE cooling channel has two of these solenoids, which will be hooked together in series, for a magnet circuit with a total stored-energy of the order of 12.8 MJ. Quench protection for the coupling coils is discussed. This report also presents the mechanical and thermal design parameters for this magnet, including the results of finite element calculations of mechanical forces and heat flow in the magnet cold mass.

Magnetic measurements at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory
Recent magnetic measurement activities at LBL have been concentrated in two separate areas, electromagnets and permanent magnets for the Advanced Light Source (ALS), and superconducting magnets for the Superconducting Super Collider Laboratory (SSCL). A survey of the many different measurement systems is presented. These include AC magnetic measurements of an ALS booster dipole engineering model magnet, dipole moment measurements of permanent magnet blocks for ALS wigglers and undulators, permeability measurements of samples destined for wiggler and undulator poles, harmonic error analysis of SSC one-meter model dipoles and quadrupoles and five-meter long SSC prototype quadrupoles, harmonic error analysis of ALS dipoles, quadrupoles, and sextupoles, precision Hall probe mapping of ALS storage ring combined function magnets, and the design of the ALS insertion device magnetic mapping system. A Unix-based data acquisition system that is being developed for the SSC is also described. Probes used for magnetic measurements include Helmholtz coils, integral coils, point coils, bucking harmonic analysis coils, several different types of Hall probes, and nuclear magnetic resonance magnetometers. >

MODELING OF PROXIMITY COUPLING BETWEEN SUPERCONDUCTING FILAMENTS IN SUPERCONDUCTING DIPOLE MAGNETS
There is strong experimental evidence for superconducting current coupling between filaments in fine filament multifilamentary Nb-Ti which has been proposed for the SSC. The coupling between the fine filaments appears to be a Type II superconducting coupling. As a result, a.c. loss and magnetization can increase as one reduces the filament size in a fine filamentary conductor. This paper presents a computer model which fits experimental data for proximity superconducting coupling between filaments in a superconductor matrix. Using this model, one can predict the effect of proximity coupling on the field uniformity of a dipole magnet for the SSC.

Passive Superconductor a Viable Method of Controlling Magnetization Multipoles in the SSC Dipole
At injection, the magnetization of the superconductor produces the dominant field error in the SSC dipole magnets. The field generated by magnetization currents in the superconductor is rich in higher symmetric multipoles (normal sextupole, normal decapole, and so on). Pieces of passive superconductor properly located within the bore of the dipole magnet can cancel the higher multipoles generated by the SSC dipole coils. The multipoles generated by the passive superconductor (predominantly sextupole and decapole) are controlled by the angular and radial location of the superconductor, the volume of superconductor, and the size of the superconducting filaments within the passive conductor. This paper will present the tolerances on each of these factors. The paper will show that multipole correction using passive superconductor is in general immune to the effects of temperature and magnetization decay due to flux creep, provided that dipole superconductor and the passive correction superconductor are properly specified. When combined with a lumped correction system, the passive superconductor can be a viable alternative to continuous correction coils within the SSC dipoles.
