Supersymmetrical String Theories
A supersymmetrical light-cone-gauge string action is presented. It provides a basis for understanding the previously-studied supersymmetrical dual string theory as well as two new closed-string theories that have extended supersymmetry in ten dimensions, corresponding to N = 8 supersymmetry in four dimensions.

Instantons in supersymmetric Yang-Mills and D-instantons in IIB superstring theory
The one-instanton contributions to various correlation functions of superconformal currents in four-dimensional = 4 supersymmetric SU(2) Yang-Mills theory are evaluated to the lowest order in perturbation theory. Expressions of the same form are obtained from the leading effects of a single D-instanton extracted from the IIB superstring effective action around the AdS5 ? S5 background. This is in line with the suggested AdS/Yang-Mills correspondence. The relation between Yang-Mills instantons and D-instantons is further confirmed by the explicit form of the classical D-instanton solution in the AdS5 ? S5 background and its associated supermultiplet of zero modes. Speculations are made concerning instanton effects in the large-Nc limit of the SU(Nc) Yang-Mills theory.

World‐Volumes and String Target Spaces
String duality suggests a fascinating juxtoposition of world-volume and target-space dynamics. This is particularly apparent in the D-brane description of stringy solitons that forms a major focus of this article (which is not intended to be a comprehensive review of this extensive and sophisticated subject). The article is divided into four sections: 
 
 
 
• The oligarchy of string world-sheets 
 
 
 
 
• p-branes and world-volumes 
 
 
 
 
• World-sheets for world-volumes 
 
 
 
 
• Boundary states, D-branes and space-time supersymmetry

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.

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.

A thin superconducting solenoid for use in a phase rotation induction linac
One of the proposals for delivering a cooled muon beam to a muon collider or a high intensity neutrino source uses an induction linac to phase rotate the muons that result from the decay of pions produced by a high intensity proton beam on a target. An induction linac with an acceleration gradient of 2 MV per meter is proposed to produce bunches of muons that have a momentum of 200 MeV/c. The induction accelerator is assembled around the 3 T superconducting solenoids needed to contain the muon beam. The superconducting solenoid must have a warm 100 mm gap at 1000 mm intervals down the phase rotation channel. The acceleration structure for the induction linac is around this gap. The superconducting solenoid will have an inside warm radius of 201 mm. The thickness of the superconducting magnet and its cryostat must be about 60 mm near the acceleration gap. An access region of 85 mm between induction linac sections is allowed for the superconducting coil cold mass supports, the electrical leads and the supply of cryogenic cooling. This report presents a design for a 3 T phase rotation induction linac superconducting magnet system, its cryostat, and its cooling system.

Quench back in thin superconducting solenoid magnets
Abstract Superconducting magnets with well coupled, low resistance, secondary circuits have been observed to become fully normal faster than quench propagation in the coil would permit. This process is referred to as ‘quench back’. Quench back observed at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) was caused by heating the secondary circuit from the current induced from the primary circuit as normal region in the superconducting coil propagated. This paper develops the theory for thermal quench back in thin solenoid magnets and compares this theory with measurements made in two one-meter diameter superconducting solenoid magnets.

Measurements of Magnetization Multipoles in Four Centimeter Quadrupoles for the SSC
Higher multipoles due to magnetization of the superconductor in superconducting dipole and quadrupole magnets has been observed in over twenty years. This report presents measurements of the 12 pole and 20 pole multipoles in a model one-meter long four-centimeter bore SSC type quadrupole built at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL). The measurements were compared with calculations of the field structure using magnetization theory. Good agreement was observed between the measured multipoles and the calculated multipoles. Under conditions equivalent to injection into the SSC at an energy of 2 TeV, about 1.0 unit of 12 pole was observed and 0.05 units of 20 pole was observed. (One unit of field error is a field error of one part in ten thousand). Magnetization multipole measurements were also done on the first full length (5 meter) SSC quadrupole prototype. Measurements of flux creep decay were made on three one meter quadrupoles and the first five meter long quadrupole. 7 refs., 9 figs.

A 2-MeV microwave thermionic gun
A high-gradient, S-band microwave gun with a thermionic cathode is being developed in a collaborative effort by AET, Varian, and SSRL. A prototype design using an upgraded Varian dispenser cathode mounted with thermal isolation directly in the first half-cell of a 1-1/2 cell, side-coupled, standing-wave cavity has been fabricated and is being tested. Optimization of the cavity shape and beam formation was done using SUPERFISH, MASK, and PARMELA. An overview of design details, as well as the status of in-progress beam tests, will be presented. 9 refs., 6 figs.

Quench Protection for the MICE Cooling Channel Coupling Magnet
This paper describes the passive quench protection system selected for the muon ionization cooling experiment (MICE) cooling channel coupling magnet. The MICE coupling magnet will employ two methods of quench protection simultaneously. The most important method of quench protection in the coupling magnet is the subdivision of the coil. Cold diodes and resistors are put across the subdivisions to reduce both the voltage to ground and the hot-spot temperature. The second method of quench protection is quench-back from the mandrel, which speeds up the spread of the normal region within the coils. Combining quench back with coil subdivision will reduce the hot spot temperature further. This paper explores the effect on the quench process of the number of coil sub-divisions, the quench propagation velocity within the magnet, and the shunt resistance.
