Extended Supergravity in Ten-Dimensions
Abstract An extended supergravity theory in ten dimensions is described in terms of an unconstrained scalar superfield in a lightcone formalism that maintains manifest symmetry among the eight transverse dimensions. The hamiltonian and other super-Poincare generators are determined to first order in the gravitational coupling constant k . It is straightforward to truncate the theory to give N = 8 supergravity in four dimensions.

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.

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.

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.

Large diameter thin superconducting solenoid magnets
Abstract High energy physics experiments on the latest generation colliding beam machines require large superconducting solenoid magnets. The Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory is developing a new generation of high current density (∼ 10 9 A m −2 ) superconducting solenoid magnets which are thin from a radion standpoint. To meet our design objectives, an integrated magnet and cryostat design has been evolved. Recent tests of one metre diameter prototype magnets show that our design concepts are technically viable. The results of the one metre magnet test are reported here.

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.

Structural Design and Thermal Analysis for Thermal Shields of the MICE Coupling Magnets
A superconducting coupling magnet made from copper matrix NbTi conductors operating at 4 K will be used in the Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) to produce up to 2.6 T on the magnet centerline to keep the muon beam within the thin RF cavity windows. The coupling magnet is to be cooled by two cryocoolers with a total cooling capacity of 3 W at 4.2 K. In order to keep a certain operating temperature margin, the most important is to reduce the heat leakage imposed on cold surfaces of coil cold mass assembly. An intermediate temperature shield system placed between the coupling coil and warm vacuum chamber is adopted. The shield system consists of upper neck shield, main shields, flexible connections and eight supports, which is to be cooled by the first stage cold heads of two cryocoolers with cooling capacity of 55 W at 60 K each. The maximum temperature difference on the shields should be less than 20 K, so the thermal analyses for the shields with different thicknesses, materials, flexible connect...

Proposal to Construct an anti-Proton Source for the Fermilab Accelerator
We propose to build a small storage ring for the accumulation of antiprotons produced in an external target. Stochastic and electron cooling will be used to reduce the transverse and longitudinal phase space of the antiprotons. The dynamics of stochastic and electron cooling will also be studied in this storage ring using circulating protons. The cooled antiprotons can be re-injected into the main ring or energy doubler ring; after simultaneous acceleration along with a proton bunch the accelerator will become a colliding {bar}pp machine with a center of mass energy range of 300-2600 GeV. Luminosities in the range 10{sup 29}-10{sup 32} cm {sup -2}sec{-1} are expected.
