Beam-based calibrations of the BPM offset at C-ADS Injector Ⅱ

Beam-based BPM offset calibration was carried out for Injector II at the C-ADS demonstration facility at the Institute of Modern Physics(IMP), Chinese Academy of Science(CAS). By using the steering coils integrated in the quadrupoles, the beam orbit can be effectively adjusted and BPM positions recorded at the Medium Energy Beam Transport of the Injector II Linac. The studies were done with a 2 m A, 2.1 Me V proton beam in pulsed mode.During the studies, the "null comparison method" was applied for the calibration. This method is less sensitive to errors compared with the traditional transmission matrix method. In addition, the quadrupole magnet's center can also be calibrated with this method.     

H基于模糊观测器参数摄动的耦合时空混沌H跟踪控制

由于子系统的时空耦合作用及参数的摄动性，实现参数摄动的耦合时空混沌的跟踪控制非常困难。然而模型未知的耦合时空混沌的每个子系统可由一系列模糊逻辑模型逼近，每个模糊逻辑模型代表子系统在特定运行点的局部线性化模型，同时考虑子系统状态的不可测性，采用模糊观测器来估计子系统的状态。基于模糊模型及状态观测器，计及混沌参数的摄动性，提出一种模糊跟踪控制方案，实现了参数摄动的耦合时空混沌的鲁棒跟踪控制，并将模糊跟踪控制表征为线性矩阵不等式问题，用线性矩阵不等式的凸优化方法求解控制器参数，确保系统的全局渐近稳定性。仿真验证了方案的有效性。     

Note on Generalized Quantum Gates and Quantum Operations

Recently, Gudder proved that the set of all generalized quantum gates coincides the set of all contractions in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space (S. Gudder, Int. J. Theor. Phys. 47:268–279, 2008). In this note, we proved that the set of all generalized quantum gates is a proper subset of the set of all contractions on an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space ℋ. Meanwhile, we proved that the quantum operation deduced by an isometry is an extreme point of the set of all quantum operations on ℋ. This subject is supported by NSF of China (10571113).     

Effective generation of red-green-blue laser in a two-dimensional decagonal photonic superlattice

We demonstrate the effective generation of red, green and blue (RGB) light in a two-dimensional decagonal quasiperiodic LiNbO₃ nonlinear crystal. Owing to the unique abundance in reciprocal vectors (RVs), the RGB signals were generated directly by frequency doublings. Thus the conversion efficiencies of the RGB light were much higher than previously recorded. In addition, the same results were obtained when the crystal was rotated by integral multiples of π/5. This result will aid in the effective generation of RGB in multiple directions and may have important applications in laser-based projection displays. PACS 42.65.Ky; 42.72.Bj; 42.79.Nv     

Topology change from quantum instability of gauge theory on fuzzy CP

Many gauge theory models on fuzzy complex projective spaces will contain a strong instability in the quantum field theory leading to topology change. This can be thought of as due to the interaction between space–time via its noncommutativity and the fields (matrices) and it is related to the perturbative UV–IR mixing. We work out in detail the example of fuzzy CP²${\mathbf{CP}}^2$ and discuss at the level of the phase diagram the quantum transitions between the 3 spaces (space–times) CP²${\mathbf{CP}}^2$, S²${\mathbf{S}}^2$ and the 0-dimensional space consisting of a single point {0}$\{0\}$.     

Discrimination of Smoke Particles Using Infrared Photoelectrical Detection

A method of discrimination of smoke particles using infrared photoelectrical detection is proposed in this paper. Principle of the method is that smoke particles of different materials have different scattering light intensities at same scattering angle according to Mie Theory. Facility used to realize the method includes an infrared laser as light source and an array of avalanche photodiodes distributed at assigned angles as sensing devices. Scattered light signal at these angles are collected and processed. Categories of smoke particle are discriminated by signal processing results. Experiments show that by using this method cigarette smoke, kerosene smoke and water vapor can be discriminated with rate of discrimination of greater than 95%. Application of this technology in the field of fire detection will eliminate some effects of human activities such as cigarette smoking and steam on smoke detection, and improve sensitivity as well as reliability of smoke detection.     

Reel-to-reel fabrication of meter-long YBCO coated conductor

YBa₂Cu₃O_7?δ (YBCO) superconductors were coated on the CeO₂/YSZ/Y₂O₃ buffered Ni-5at%W tapes by a reel-to-reel pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The process of a multi-layer deposition of YBCO film was explored. X-ray diffraction texture measurements showed good both in-plane and out of plane crystalline orientations in YBCO films. The average values calculated at a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the peaks from phi-scans (φ) and omega (ω) scans for one meter-long YBCO tape were 7.49° and 4.71°, respectively. The critical current (I_c) was over 200 A/cm-width at 77 K and under self-field for meter-long YBCO tape. The critical transition temperature of the YBCO tape was typically as 90.1 K with 0.5 K transition widths.     

Result of search for low velocity exotic particles

The L3＋C experiment, taking advantage of the L3 muon magnetic spectrometer, measured the spatial tracks of charged cosmic ray particles to obtain rigidity as well as velocity. One possible low velocity exotic particle is observed. The existing uncertainties are discussed, and the flux upper limit of the low velocity exotic particles from this observation is deduced based on the assumption of a null observation. The result is 6.2×10^-10 cm^-2·s^-1·sr^-1 at 90% confidence level in the velocity range from 0.04c to 0.5c.     

Magnetic Properties of Co-Doped TiO2 Films Grown on TiN Buffered Silicon Substrates

Co-doped TiO2 thin films are grown on TiN buffered silicon substrates by the pulsed laser deposition method and then hydrogenated. Transmission electron microscopy and high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy measurements have shown that the TiN buffer layer can suffer a 400℃ deposition temperature and prevent the growth of silicon dioxide on silicon. After that, the room temperature ferromagnetism behaviors are observed in the hydrogenated samples, which are measured by the alternating gradient magnetometer. X- ray photoelectron spectroscopy and x-ray absorption fine structure measurements have revealed the existence of cobalt clusters. According to the material analysis, the magnetic behavior after hydrogenation is suggested to be induced by the enhancement of cobalt dusters.
