Low frequency longitudinal relaxation oscillation
From the recent data analysis of the longitudinal feedback system and the streak camera, we have found a longitudinal relaxation beam oscillation whose frequency is a multiple of 36 Hz. When the relaxation oscillation is generated, horizontally oscillating wide beams are observed at the diagnostic beamline, and the beam lifetime is fluctuated. The strength of the longitudinal coupled bunch mode instabilities is also modulated sinusoidally. We have described the observed longitudinal relaxation oscillation in the Pohang Light Source storage ring.

Status of the Pohang light source project
Abstract The Pohang Light Source is a third-generation synchrotron radiation facility currently under construction in Pohang, Korea. It consists of a 2 GeV full energy injection linac, a storage ring, and three initial beamlines. Construction of the conventional facility is now nearly completed and the machine integration of the linac and the storage ring is well under way. The commissioning is scheduled to take place toward the fall of 1994, and it will be opened to national as well as international users by mid-1995. The facility will eventually furnish high-brightness sources of radiation utilizing 22 bending magnets and 10 insertion devices. Characteristics of the design and beamlines under construction will be described.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Question of Simultaneity in Relativity and Quantum Mechanics
In relativity, two simultaneous events at two different places are not simultaneous for observers in different Lorentz frames. In the Einstein‐Podolsky‐Rosen experiment, two simultaneous measurements are taken at two different places. Would they still be simultaneous to observers in moving frames? It is a difficult question, but it is still possible to study this problem in the microscopic world. In the hydrogen atom, the incertainty can be considered to be entirely associated with the groundstate. However, is there an uncertainty associated with the time‐separation variable between the proton and electron? This time‐separation variable is a forgotten, if not hidden, variable in the present form of quantum mechanics. The first step toward the simultaneity problem is to study the role of this time‐separation variable in the Lorentz‐covariant world. It is shown possible to study this problem using harmonic oscillators applicable to hadrons which are bound states of quarks. It is also possible to derive cons...

Direct radiative recombination of electrons with atomic ions: Cross sections and rate coefficients
Simple expressions are obtained which permit systematic estimates of the rate coefficients for direct radiative recombination (DRR) of fast electrons with atomic ions of various ionic species. The analysis utilizes a set of cross sections obtained through numerical calculations combined with the use of an interpolation scheme to smoothly connect reduced cross sections (apart from normalizations) of the bremsstrahlung tip region and the low-lying DRR region. It is shown that these numerical cross sections can be reproduced by the predictions of a modified semiclassical Kramers formula with an appropriate effective charge Z/sub eff/, which is larger than the effective charge which reproduces the energy levels of the states into which capture occurs. In accord with this modified Kramers formula, the numerically obtained total cross sections are shown to scale with Z/sub eff//sup 2//K for each isoelectronic sequence, and with a parameter (n/sub 0/)/sub eff/ which characterizes each isoelectronic sequence. Using these scaling properties, simple analytic expressions are obtained for recombination rate coefficients, for the rate of electron kinetic-energy loss, and for the rate of radiated power loss, assuming a classical Maxwell-Boltzmann thermal distribution of continuum electrons.
