Locality and currents for the dual string
Abstract We wish to describe the coupling of a local current to the dual string as the amplitude for the string to collapse to a point. At the quantum level we note that states which are localized in the transverse directions are forced by the gauge constraints to have longitudinal extension. The best we can do in the conventional model is, therefore, to construct off-shell states which have zero helicity (but no unique spin). We calculate the propagator for such states and compare it with the model of Schwarz. In their respective critical dimensions (26 for the string and 16 for the off-shell model of Schwarz) the two results become identical. We also calculate the Green functions for the coupling of one of our off-shell states to any number of on-shell particles by means of the functional formalism. Our results have a close connection with the previous models of Schwarz and Wu and of Corrigan and Fairlie.

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.

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.

Quench Protection and Magnet Supply Requirements for the MICEFocusingand Coupling Magnets
This report discusses the quench protection and power supply requirements of the MICE superconducting magnets. A section of the report discusses the quench process and how to calculate the peak voltages and hotspot temperature that result from a magnet quench. A section of the report discusses conventional quench protection methods. Thermal quench back from the magnet mandrel is also discussed. Selected quench protection methods that result in safe quenching of the MICE focusing and coupling magnets are discussed. The coupling of the MICE magnets with the other magnets in the MICE is described. The consequences of this coupling on magnet charging and quenching are discussed. Calculations of the quenching of a magnet due quench back from circulating currents induced in the magnet mandrel due to quenching of an adjacent magnet are discussed. The conclusion of this report describes how the MICE magnet channel will react when one or magnets in that channel are quenched.

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.

A large superconducting thin solenoid for the STAR experiment at RHIC
The author describes the 4.4-m, warm bore diameter, thin superconducting solenoid, for the proposed Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC (STAR) experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The STAR solenoid will generate a very uniform central magnetic induction of 0.5 T within a space which is 4.0 m in diameter by 4.2 m long. The solenoid and its cryostat will be 0.7 radiation lengths thick over a length of 5.45 m, about the center of the magnet, making it the largest solenoid less than one radiation length to be built. A proposed design for the solenoid and cryostat, its flux return iron, its cryogenic system, and its power supply and quench protection system is described.<<ETX>>

Progress on Design and Construction of a MuCool Coupling Solenoid Magnet
The MuCool program undertaken by the US Neutrino Factory and Muon Collider Collaboration is to study the behavior of muon ionization cooling channel components. A single superconducting coupling solenoid magnet is necessary to pursue the research and development work on the performance of high gradient, large size RF cavities immersed in magnetic field, which is one of the main challenges in the practical realization of ionization cooling of muons. The MuCool coupling magnet is to be built using commercial copper based niobium titanium conductors and cooled by two cryo-coolers with each cooling capacity of 1.5 W at 4.2 K. The solenoid magnet will be powered by using a single 300 A power supply through a single pair of binary leads that are designed to carry a maximum current of 210 A. The magnet is to be passively protected by cold diodes and resistors across sections of the coil and by quench back from the 6061 Al mandrel in order to lower the quench voltage and the hot spot temperature. The magnet is currently under construction. This paper presents the updated design and fabrication progress on the MuCool coupling magnet.

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.
