Experimental Test of a New Antiproton Acceleration Scheme in the Fermilab Main Injector
In an effort to provide higher intensity and lower emittance antiproton beam to the Tevatron collider for high luminosity operation, a new Main Injector (MI) antiproton acceleration scheme has been developed [1-4]. In this scheme, beam is accelerated from 8 to 27 GeV using the 2.5 MHz rf system and from 27 to 150 GeV using the 53 MHz rf system. This paper reports the experimental results of beam study. Simulation results are reported in a different PAC’ 05 paper [5]. Experiments are conducted with proton beam from the Booster. Acceleration efficiency, emittance growth and beam harmonic transfer between 2.5 MHz (h=28) and 53 MHz (h=588) buckets have been studied. Beam study shows that one can achieve an overall acceleration efficiency of about 100%, longitudinal emittance growth less than 20% and negligible transverse emittance growth.

Narrowband beam loading compensation in the Fermilab Main Injector accelerating cavities
A narrowband beam loading compensation system was installed for the Main Injector accelerating cavities. This feedback operates solely on the fundamental resonant mode of the cavity. This paper describes modifications to the high level radiofrequency system required to make the system operational. These modifications decreased the effect of steady-state beam loading by a factor of 10 and improved the reliability of paraphasing for coalescing.

Linearization of the Fermilab recycler high level RF
In studying the recycler high level RF, it was found that at 89 kHz, the lowest frequency required by the system, some nonlinearities in magnitude and phase were discovered. The visible evidence of this was that beam injected in a barrier bucket had a definite slope at the top. Using a network analyzer, the S-parameter S/sub 21/ was realized for the overall system and from mathematical modeling a second order numerator and denominator transfer function was found. The inverse of this transfer function gives our linearization transfer function. The linearization transfer function was realized in hardware by summing a high pass, band pass and low pass filter together. The resulting magnitude and phase plots, along with actual beam response will be shown.

Antiproton acceleration in the Fermilab Main Injector using 2.5 MHz (H=28) and 53 MHz (H=588) RF systems
During the Run II era at Fermilab, the Recycler stores antiprotons at 8 GeV and the Main Injector accelerates the antiprotons and the protons from 8 GeV to 150 GeV for Tevatron injection. The Recycler injects antiprotons to the Main Injector in 2.5 MHz rf buckets. This report presents an acceleration scheme for the antiprotons that involves a slow ramp with initial 2.5 MHz acceleration and subsequent fast acceleration with 53 MHz rf system. Beam acceleration and rf manipulation with space charge and beam loading effects are simulated using the longitudinal simulation code ESME. Simulation suggests that one can expect about 15% emittance growth for the entire acceleration cycle with beam loading compensations. Preliminary experimental results with proton beam will also be presented.

LIMITING TEMPERATURE OF HADRONS USING STATES PREDICTED FROM KAPPA -DEFORMED POINCARE ALGEBRA
The experimental hadronic density of states dN/dm, assumed to be a sum of normalized Breit- Wigner distributions and plotted as a function of the hadron mass m, fails to show a Hagedorn like growth beyond 2 GeV, probably due to a lack of data. Experimental hadronic states are fitted using $\ka$ -deformed Poincar\'e algebra and the fit is used to extrapolate for including states not detected. For the theoretical density of states the plot is a straight line in the log scale even beyond 2 GeV with a limiting temperature of 400 MeV.

Nucleons and isobars at finite density ( ρ) and temperature ( T)
Abstract.The importance of studying matter at high ρ increases as more astrophysical data becomes available from recently launched spacecrafts. The importance of high-T studies derives from heavy-ion data. In this paper we set up a formalism to study the nucleons and isobars with long- and short-range potentials non-pertubatively, bosonizing and expanding semi-classically the Feyman integrals up to one loop. We address the low-density, finite-T problem first, the case relevant to heavy-ion collisions, hoping to address the high-density case later. Interactions change the nucleon and isobar numbers at different ρ and T non-trivially.

A model finding a new Richardson potential with different scales for confinement and asymptotic freedom, by fitting the properties of Δ++ and Ω−
Phenomenological Richardson potential has built in asymptotic freedom (AF in short) and confinement, with only one parameter Λ in the potential. But it is known that the scales of AF and confinement are not the same. In the present work a relativistic mean field calculation for baryons is tried out with two parameters Λ and Λ′ for AF and confinement, respectively. 
 
To test the two parameter potential we calculate the energies and the magnetic moments, of the triple u-quark system (Δ++) and the triple s-quark system (Ω−) and found good values for Λ=100 MeV and Λ′=350 MeV. So we believe that the modified Richardson potential should have AF scale Λ=100 MeV and the confinement scale Λ′=350 MeV.

Two new sum rules for octet-baryon magnetic moments (μ) and constraints on QCD sum rules from new experimental determination of μ-s for the decuplet
Abstract Recently the μ Δ ++ was found from a fit to π + p scattering [G.L. Castro, A. Mariano, Phys. Lett. B 517 (2002) 339]. This enable us to pinpoint condensate parameters more precisely in the context of QCD sum rules (QCDSR). In the octet sector, the Coleman–Glashow sum rule (CGSR) [S. Coleman, S.L. Glashow, Phys. Rev. Lett. 6 (1961) 423] is violated by the experimental μ -s. QCDSR allows us to write down two sum rules similar to the CGSR, which are obeyed by the experimental magnetic moments, whereas they rule out a specific model using the Wilson loop approach and a particular chiral quark model. It is amusing to note that the QCDSR allows us to write down the quark and gluon condensates in terms of measurables like the μ -s of the nucleons and the Σ ± .

Strange stars and superbursts at near-Eddington mass accretion rates
Careful assessment of four good superburst candidates for GX 17+2 reveals that superburst is possible at near Eddington mass accretion rates. For the other seven stars, where superburst is found, there is the standard model of burning accumulated carbon from normal type I bursts of the accreting stars. However, there is the need for carbon, nitrogen and oxygen mass fraction (Z_{CNO}) which must be larger than Z_{CNO,\odot}, where the latter refers to the standard value found in the sun. Also it is very difficult to incorporate GX 17+2 into the standard picture of superbursts. In case of superbursts from strange stars, arising from broken quark pairs going over to diquarks at the surface of the star, these problems do not arise. Furthermore there is a natural explanation for the large value of ~ 1000 for \alpha which is defined in the literature as the ratio of energy released between normal bursts to the energy released during the normal burst. In the scenario for superbursts in strange stars it may be argued that the relatively smaller value of \alpha of ~ 440 indicates frequent recurrence of superbursts which is reflected in 4U 1636-53.
