Fast beam-ion instability driven longitudinal damping
In the Pohang Light Source storage ring, we empty 68 buckets of total 468 buckets to cure the conventional ion trapping. However, the fast beam-ion instability is occasionally generated at higher beam current. Immediately after the strong vertical beam shaking due to the fast beam-ion instability, the longitudinal coupled bunch mode instabilities are substantially damped down without any active feedback system. We have described the fast beam-ion instability driven longitudinal damping and its mechanism in the Pohang Light Source storage ring.

Present status of the Pohang Light Source
The Pohang Light Source (PLS) Project is now in its final year of the construction phase. The machine consists of a full energy (2 GeV) linear accelerator injector, a storage ring with a 12‐period TBA structure, and 32 eventual beamlines from insertion devices and bending magnets. The commissioning of the injector linac was completed in June 1994. The overall commissioning of the PLS is expected to be completed by the end of 1994. The facility will provide high brightness, tunable radiation in a wide spectral range up to 30 keV of photon energy, and will serve national and international users starting in mid‐1995.

Single bunch collective effects in PLS storage ring
The single bunch collective effects such as the bunch lengthening due to the potential well distortion and the microwave instability which also increases the energy spread, the transverse head-tail instability, and the transverse strong head-tail instability are investigated in the Pohang Light Source storage ring. The threshold current and the Chao-Gareyte scaling factor of the bunch lengthening, the longitudinal broadband impedance, and the transverse impedance have been measured and compared with the ZAP code results.

The Pohang light source
A 2 GeV synchrotron light source project is in progress in Pohang, Korea. The light source is designed to provide high brightness radiation with continuous wavelengths down to 1 A (10-8 em) with its peak at 4·43 A(Le. 2·8 keY). The project, consisting of a full energy injector linear accelerator and a 2 GeV storage ring, was launched in 1988 and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 1994. In this article, we introduce the main features and status of the storage ring components and the installation procedure. Radiation characteristics and beamline status are also described.

Bunch length beating in PLS storage ring
During the normal operation period in the Pohang Light Source (PLS) storage ring, the spontaneous bunch length oscillation or beating is generated by the nonlinear effects of the RF noise whose frequency is much lower than the bifurcation frequency. Due to the bunch length beating, we can not supply the uniform intensity beams to users. We have described the observed bunch length beating and its mechanism in the PLS storage ring with a simulation.

A method of closed orbit correction under constraint conditions
We have developed the correction algorithm of the closed orbit distortion (COD) under the constraint condition where beam positions at particular points are not changed. The new algorithm is based on the modified PSINOM algorithm including the regularization process in order to avoid the inversion problem of the ill-posed response matrices. We have confirmed that the COD is well corrected with no orbit leak in the simulation and is in good agreement with the experiment.

Squeezed states and thermally excited states in the wigner phase-space picture of quantum mechanics
Abstract The phase-space picture of thermal excitations is presented starting from the formalism of two-mode coherent and squeezed states. It is shown that the thermal degree of freedom can be augmented into the existing formalism of coherent and squeezed states. It is shown further that the thermal excitation leads to a diametric expansion of the Wigner phase-space distribution function.

Growth time of the longitudinal coupled bunch mode beam instability at the Duke FEL facility
To determine the required power of an amplifier for the longitudinal feedback (LFB) system, the growth time of the strongest longitudinal coupled bunch mode instability (CBMI) in the Duke storage ring should be measured in advance. In 2005, we measured strength of the strongest longitudinal beam instability in the Duke storage ring with four and eight symmetrically filled buckets. By analyzing measured data, the growth time of the strongest dipole mode of the longitudinal CBMI in the Duke storage ring can be estimated. At a beam energy of 274 MeV, the growth time is about 0.365 ms for a total stored beam current of 160 mA. From the measured growth time, we estimated the required power of the amplifier for the LFB system. To damp all harmful longitudinal CBMIs with an energy deviation of 0.1 % (rms) within its growth time of 0.365 ms, we have to supply about HOW (rms) to an LFB kicker whose a central frequency is 937.3875 MHz. In this paper, we describe the growth time of the longitudinal CBMI at the Duke storage ring and the estimation of the required power for the LFB system to damp all CBMIs within 0.365 ms.

Symmetries of two‐mode squeezed states
It is known that the symmetry of two‐mode squeezed states is governed by the group Sp(4) which is locally isomorphic to the O(3,2) de Sitter group. It is shown that this complicated ten‐parameter group can be regarded as a product of two three‐parameter Sp(2) groups. It is shown also that two coupled harmonic oscillators serve as a physical basis for the symmetry decomposition. It is shown further that the concept of entropy is needed when one of the two modes is not observed. The entropy is zero when the system is uncoupled. The system reaches thermal equilibrium when the entropy becomes maximal.

New generation digital longitudinal feedback system for Duke FEL and HIγS facilities
To cure harmful longitudinal coupled-bunch mode beam instabilities during high-current and multi-bunch beam operations at the Duke free electron laser (FEL) and high intensity gamma-ray source (HIgammaS) facilities, we have been developing a new generation digital bunch-by-bunch longitudinal feedback (LFB) system which is based on an Integrated gigasample processor (iGp-64F). In this paper, we describe the new generation digital longitudinal feedback system for the Duke FEL and HIgammaS facilities.

Lorentz Group derivable from Polarization Optics 1
The Lorentz group is the fundamental language for space-time symmetries of relativistic particles. This group can these days be derived from the symmetries observed in other branches of physics. It is shown that this group can be derived from optical filters. The group O(2,1) is appropriate for attenuation filters, while the O(3) group describes phase-shift filters. The combined operation leads to a two-by-two representation of the six-parameter Lorentz group. It is shown also that the bilinear representation of this group is the natural language for the polarization optics. The Lorentz group serves useful purposes in many branches of physics. In this note, we would like to show that the bilinear representation of the six-parameter Lorentz group [1] is the natural language for polarization of light waves. In studying polarized light propagating along the z direction, the traditional approach is to consider the x and y components of the electric fields. Their amplitude ratio and the phase difference determine the degree of polarization. Thus, we can change the polarization either by adjusting the amplitudes, by changing the relative phase shift, or both. For convenience, we call the optical device which changes amplitudes an “attenuator,” and the device which changes the relative phase a “phase shifter.” Let us write the electric field vector as
