Proposed Space Test of the New Equivalence Principle with Rotating Extended Bodies

We propose a novel scheme for a space free-fall based test of the new equivalence principle （NEP） with two rotating extended bodies made of the same material. The measurement will be carried out by placing the two concentric spinning masses of very different momenta inside a differential electrostatic aceelerometer in a drag-free compensated orbit. A difference in the forces necessary to maintain the common trajectory will be an indication of a violation of equivalence or the existence of spin-spin force between the rotating mass and the Earth. The conceptual design of the inertial sensor and its operation mode is presented. Details specific to the model and performance requirements are discussed by using up-to-date space technologies to test the NEP with an accuracy of better than 10^-15.     

A systematic study on the binding energy of A hypernuclei

We calculate the binding energy per baryon of the A hypernuclei systematically, using the relativistic mean field theory （RMF） in a static frame. Some similar properties are found for most of the A hypernuclei confirmed by experiments. The data show that a A hypernueleus will be more stable if it is made by adding a A hyperon to a stable normal nuclear core, or by replacing a neutron by a A hyperon to a stable normal nuclear core. According to our calculations, the existence of some new A hypernuclei are predicted under the frame of RMF.

High Performance Multiple Stream Data Transfer

The ALICE detector at LHC( CERN),will record raw data at a rate of 1.2 Gigabytes per second.Trying to analyse all this data at CRN will not be feasible.As originally proposed by the MONARC project,dta collected at CERN will be transferred to remote centres to use their computing infrastructure,The remote centres will reconstruct and analyse the events.and make available the results.Therefore high-rate data transfer between computing centres(Tiers)will become of paramount importance.This paper will present several tests that have been made between CERN and remote centres in Padova(Italy),Torino(Italy),Catania(Italy),Lyon(France),Ohio(United States),Warsaw(Poland)and Calcutta( India),These tests consisted,in a first stage,of sending raw data from CERN to the remote centres and back,using a ftp method that allows connections of several streams at the same time.Thanks to these multiple streams,it is possilble to increase the rate at which the data is transferred.While several “multiple stream ftp solutions“ already exist,our method is based on a parallel socket implementation which allows,besides files,also objects(or any large message)to be send in parallel.A prototype will be presented able to manage different transfers.This is the first step of a system to be implemented that will be able to take care of the connections with the remote centres to exchange data and monitor the status of the transfer.

Disturbance rejection and H∞ pinning control of linear complex dynamical networks

This paper concerns the disturbance rejection problem of a linear complex dynamical network subject to external disturbances.A dynamical network is said to be robust to disturbance,if the H ∞ norm of its transfer function matrix from the disturbance to the performance variable is satisfactorily small.It is shown that the disturbance rejection problem of a dynamical network can be solved by analysing the H ∞ control problem of a set of independent systems whose dimensions are equal to that of a single node.A counter-intuitive result is that the disturbance rejection level of the whole network with a diffusive coupling will never be better than that of an isolated node.To improve this,local feedback injections are applied to a small fraction of the nodes in the network.Some criteria for possible performance improvement are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities.It is further demonstrated via a simulation example that one can indeed improve the disturbance rejection level of the network by pinning the nodes with higher degrees than pinning those with lower degrees.     

Controlling Disorder in Traffic Flow by Perturbation

We propose a new technique for controlling disorder in traffic system. A kind of control signal which can be considered as a perturbation has been designated at a given site (perturbation point) of the single-lane highway. When a vehicle passes the perturbation point at a time, the velocity of the vehicle will be changed at the next time by the perturbation. This technique is tested for the deterministic NaSch traffic model. The simulation results indicate that the traffic system can be transited from the disorder states to the order states, such as fixed-point, periodic motion, etc.     

A Monte Carlo study for the shielding of γ backgrounds induced by radionuclides for CDEX

The CDEX (China Dark matter EXperiment) Collaboration will carry out a direct search for WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) using an Ultra-Low Energy Threshold High Purity Germanium (ULE-HPGe) detector at the CJPL (China JinPing deep underground Laboratory). A complex shielding system was designed to reduce backgrounds and a detailed GEANT4 Monte Carlo simulation was performed to study the achievable reduction of γ rays induced by radionuclides and neutron backgrounds by D(γ,n)p reaction. Furthermore, the upper level of allowed radiopurity of shielding materials was estimated under the constraint of the expected goal. Compared with the radiopurity reported by other low-background rare-event experiments, it indicates that the shielding used in the CDEX can be made out of materials with obtainable radiopurity.     

A waveguide overloaded cavity kicker for the HLS Ⅱlongitudinal feedback system

In the upgrade project of Hefei Light Source(HLSⅡ),a new digital longitudinal bunch-by-bunch feedback system will be developed to suppress the coupled bunch instabilities in the storage ring effectively.We design a new waveguide overloaded cavity longitudinal feedback kicker as the feedback actuator.The beam pipe of the kicker is a racetrack shape so as to avoid a transition part to the octagonal vacuum chamber.The central frequency and the bandwidth of the kicker have been simulated and optimized to achieve design goals by the HFSS code.A higher shunt impedance can be obtained by using a nose cone to reduce the feedback power requirement.Before the kicker cavity was installed in the storage ring,a variety of measurements were carried out to check its performance.All these results of simulation and measurement are presented.     

Hojman Conserved Quantities for Birkhoffian Systems in Event Space

This paper focuses on studying a Hojman conserved quantity directly derived from a Lie symmetry for a Birkhoffian system in the event space. The Birkhoffian parametric equations for the system are established, and the determining equations of Lie symmetry for the system are obtained. The conditions under which a Lie symmetry of Birkhoffian system in the event space can directly lead up to a Hojman conserved quantity and the form of the Hojman conserved quantity are given. An example is given to illustrate the application of the results.     

Analytical treatment of the nonlinear electron cloud effect and the combined effects with beam-beam and space charge nonlinear forces in storage rings

In this paper we treat first some nonlinear beam dynamics problems in storage rings, such as beam dynamic apertures due to magnetic multipoles, wiggles, beam-beam effects, nonlinear space charge effect, and then nonlinear electron cloud effect combined with beam-beam and space charge effects, analytically. This analytical treatment is applied to BEPC II. The corresponding analytical expressions developed in this paper are useful both in understanding the physics behind these problems and also in making practical quick hand estimations.     

PIC mode simulation of solenoid collimation channel

A new SSC （Separated Sector Cyclotron）-Linac is being designed to serve as an injector for the SSC at the HIRFL （Heavy Ion Research Facility Lanzhou）. The beam intensity at the LEBT （Low Energy Beam Transport） for the heavy ions after the selection is typically low and the space charge effects are inconspicuous. The space charge effects become obvious when the beam current increases to a few hundred microamperes. The emittance growth deriving from the space charge effects may be particularly troublesome for the following linac and cyclotron. An optical system containing three solenoids has been designed for the LEBT to limit the beam emittance and to avoid the unnecessary beam loss in the cyclotron, as well as for the purpose of immunizing the LEBT emittance growth due to the space charge effects. The results of the PIC （Particle- In-Cell） mode simulation illustrate that this channel could limit the beam emittance growth and increase the beam brightness.     

Matching by solenoids in space charge dominated LEBTs

The betatron matching of a rotationally asymmetric beam in space charge dominated low-energy beam transports （LEBTs） where solenoids are used for the transverse matching has been studied. For better understanding, the coupling elements of a beam matrix are interpreted in special forms that are products of a term defined by the Larmor rotation angle and another by the difference between the beam matrix elements in the two transverse planes. The coupling form originally derived from the rotationally symmetric field in solenoids still holds when taking into account the rotationally asymmetric space charge forces that are due to the unequal emittance in the two transverse planes. It is shown in this paper that when an LEBT mainly comprising solenoids transports a beam having unequal emittance in the two transverse planes and the linear space charge force is taken into account, the initial Twiss parameters can be modified to obtain the minimum and equal emittance at the LEBT exit. The TRACE3D calculations also prove the principle. However, when quadrupoles that are also rotationally asymmetric are involved in between solenoids, the coupling between the two transverse planes becomes more complicated and the emittance increase is usually unavoidable. A matching example using the CSNS （China Spallation Neutron Source） LEBT conditions is also presented.     

Emittance measurement & optimization for the photocathode RF gun with laser profile shaping

The Laser Undulator Compact X-ray source （LUCX） is a test bench for a compact high brightness X-ray generator, based on inverse Compton Scattering at KEK, which requires high intensity multi-bunch trains with low transverse emittance. A photocathode RF gun with emittance compensation solenoid is used as an electron source. Much endeavor has been made to increase the beam intensity in the multi-bunch trains. The cavity of the RF gun is tuned into an unbalanced field in order to reduce space charge effects, so that the field gradient on the cathode surface is relatively higher when the forward RF power into gun cavity is not high enough. A laser profile shaper is employed to convert the driving laser profile from Gaussian into uniform. In this research we seek to find the optimized operational conditions for the decrease of the transverse emittance. With the uniform driving laser and the unbalanced RF gun, the RMS transverse emittance of a 1 nC bunch has been improved effectively from 5.46 πmm·mrad to 3.66 πmm·mrad.     

Bunch evolution study in optimization of Me V ultrafast electron diffraction

Megaelectronvolt ultrafast electron diffraction（UED） is a promising detection tool for ultrafast processes.The quality of diffraction image is determined by the transverse evolution of the probe bunch. In this paper, we study the contributing terms of the emittance and space charge effects to the bunch evolution in the MeV UED scheme, employing a mean-field model with an ellipsoidal distribution as well as particle tracking simulation. The small transverse dimension of the drive laser is found to be critical to improve the reciprocal resolution, exploiting both smaller emittance and larger transverse bunch size before the solenoid. The degradation of the reciprocal spatial resolution caused by the space charge effects should be carefully controlled.     

Block （or Hamiltonian） Lie Symmetry of Dispersionless D-Type Drinfeld-Sokolov Hierarchy

In this paper, the dispersionless D-type Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchy, i.e. a reduction of the dispersionless two-component BKP hierarchy, is studied. The additional symmetry flows of this hierarchy are presented. These flows form an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra of Block type as well as a Lie algebra of Hamiltonian type.

Lie symmetry and Mei conservation law of continuum Lagrange system are studied in this paper. The equation of motion of continuum system is established by using variational principle of continuous coordinates. The invariance of the equation of motion under an infinitesimal transformation group is determined to be Lie-symmetric. The condition of obtaining Mei conservation theorem from Lie symmetry is also presented. An example is discussed for applications of the results.     

Groupoids, Discrete Mechanics, and Discrete Variation

After introducing some of the basic definitions and results from the theory of groupoid and Lie algebroid, we investigate the discrete Lagrangian mechanics from the viewpoint of groupoid theory and give the connection between groupoids variation and the methods of the first and second discrete variational principles.     

CSNS-II双谐波加速研究

The Rapid Cycling Synchrotron （RCS） of the China Spallation Neutron Source （CSNS） complex is designed to provide 1.56×10^13 protons per pulse （ppp） during the initial stage, and it is upgradeable to 3.12× 10^13 ppp during the second stage and 6.24× 10^13 ppp during the ultimate stage. The high beam intensity in the RCS requires alleviation of space charge effects to reduce beam losses, which is key in such high beam power accelerators. With higher intensities in the upgrading phases, a dual-harmonic RF system is planned to produce flat-topped bunches that are useful to reduce the space charge effects. We have studied different schemes to apply the dual-harmonic acceleration in CSNS-Ⅱ, and have calculated the main parameters of the RF svstems, which are presented in this Darter.
