µ -symmetry and µ -conservation law for the extended mKdV equation

In this paper, we obtain µ -symmetry and µ -conservation law of the extended mKdV equation. The extended mKdV equation dose not admit a variational problem since it is of odd order. First we obtain µ -conservation law of the extended mKdV equation in potential form because it admits a variational problem, using it, we can obtain µ -conservation law of the extended mKdV equation.     

Progress of the Injector Linac Upgrade for the BEPCⅡ Project

BEPCⅡ—an upgrade project of Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC) is a factory type of e+e- collider. It requires its injector linac to have a higher beam energy (1.89 GeV) for on-energy injection and a higher beam current (40 mA e+ beam) for a higher injection rate ( 50 mA/min). The low beam emittance (1.6π mm·mrad for e+ beam, and 0.2πmm·mrad for 300 mA e- beam) and the low beam energy spread (±0.5%) are also required to meet the storage ring acceptance. Thus the original BEPC injector linac must be upgraded to have a new electron gun with its complete tuning system, a new positron source with a flux concentrator, a new RF power system with its phasing loops and a new beam tuning system with orbit correction and optics tuning devices. These new components have been designed, fabricated, tested and will be installed in their final positions in this spring and summer, which are described in this paper.     

Measuring the top quark mass in the eµ channel: A study

We describe a simple method to measure the top quark mass in the channel that may be useful in Run II of D? detector. The method is validated by applying it to the Run Ib eμ data.     

A new project for the investigation of unsolved problems of ddµ and pdµ catalysis in D2 and H/D mixtures

We propose to study a number of open problems in ddµ and pdµ fusion using the new high-pressure ionization chamber for charged particle identification in coincidence with the n-/e-counter array for the detection of neutrons and µ-decay electrons. Our first objective will be a precise measurement of the absolute rates of resonant and non-resonant ddµ formation in D₂ and HD-gases and their temperature dependence from 40 to 350 K. Both output channels of the dd-reaction:³He + n and t + p will be observed and their ratio sensitive to contributions of S and P-waves will be determined. Simultaneously, we shall investigate the pdµ-cycle and determine the absolute pd-fusion yields in different molecular H/D compositions, observing tritons from nuclear muon capture in³Heµ: pdµ ³Heµ + . We have developed a special system for the preparation of HD-gas with high concentration (96%) of HD and a purity (10^–6).     

A One-Dimensional Method for Calculating the Exit Wavefunction

We develop the multi-slice method for calculating wavefunction of a crystal consisting of atomic columns. The new method reduces numerical calculation from two dimensions to one dimension and is much faster than that of the traditional multi-slice method. The calculated result by the one-dimensional method is in agreement with that of the traditional one.     

A Generic Digitization Framework for the CDF Simulation

Digitization from GEANT tracking requires a predictable sequence of steps to produce raw simulated detector readout information.We have developed a software framework that simplifies the development and integration of digitizers by separating the coordination activities(sequencing and dispatching)from the actual digitization process.This separation allows the developers of digitizers to concentrate on digitization.The framework provides the sequencing infrastructure and a digitizer model,which means that all digitizers are required to follow the same sequencing rules and provide an interface that fits the model.     

A New Method for Calculating the Thermoelectric Efficiency

We present an approximate method for calculating the thermoelectric efficiency. The method has a high precision and is applicable to almost all of the thermoelectric devices. The expression for the thermoelectric efficiency we obtained does not involve the position variable, so the calculations are simplified greatly.     

A copula–multifractal volatility hedging model for CSI 300 index futures

In this paper, we propose a new hedging model combining the newly introduced multifractal volatility (MFV) model and the dynamic copula functions. Using high-frequency intraday quotes of the spot Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index (SSEC), spot China Securities Index 300 (CSI 300), and CSI 300 index futures, we compare the direct and cross hedging effectiveness of the copula–MFV model with several popular copula–GARCH models. The main empirical results show that the proposed copula–MFV model obtains better hedging effectiveness than the copula–GARCH-type models in general. Furthermore, the hedge operating strategy based MFV hedging model involves fewer transaction costs than those based on the GARCH-type models. The finding of this paper indicates that multifractal analysis may offer a new way of quantitative hedging model design using financial futures.     

A servo-controlled Fabry-Pérot interferometer for the FIR

The novel mechanical and electrical design of a FIR servo-controlled Fabry-Pérot interferometer is described. This compact instrument is capable of scanning a gap range of >6260 μm with a resolution of 0.1 μm and at speeds in excess of 10 linear ramps sec⁻¹. Parallelism across the operating area of the etalon is maintained to better than 0.2 μm, even whilst scanning at full speed.     

Progress in the Secondary Heating System for the HL-2A Tokamak

In 2006, the following work on secondary heating systems for HL-2A tokamak have been done： the development of an electron cyclotron resonance heating （ECRH） system, the improvement of lower hybrid resonance heating （LHCD） system and the fabrication on neutral beam injection （NBI） system.     

A scheme for the generation of two-mode atomic laser

The quantum dynamic behavior of the system composed of V-type three-level atomic Bose-Einstein con-densate (BEC) interacting with two-mode coherent light field has been studied. The results show that the atoms of V-type three-level atomic BEC, which are excited to higher-level states under the action of light field, still keep their properties of coherent states. It demonstrates theoretically that two-mode atomic laser may be prepared by V-type three-level atomic BEC.     

A New Interlock Design for the TESLA RF System

The RF system for TESLA requires a comprehensive interlock system.Usually interlock systems are organized in a hierarchical way,In order to react to different fault conditions in a fast and flexible manner a nonhierarchical organization seems to be the better solution ,At the TESLA Test Facility (TTF) at DESY we will install a nonhierarchical interlock system that is based on user desgned reprogrammable gate-arrays (FPGA‘s) which incorporate an embedded microcontroller system.This system could beused later for the TESLA linear collider replacing a strictly hierarchical design.
