Experimental results on proton diffractive dissociation

Properties of proton diffractive dissociation have been investigated for four-prong final states in proton-proton reactions at 360 GeV/c, in particular forpp→ppπ ⁺π^? mπ ⁰(m=0,1,2). Mass distributions and decay angular distributions are given. The decay of the diffractive system is seen to be very anisotropic, and largep _T is suppressed at higher masses. It is found that the “pomeron” couples with a single valence quark of the incident proton, but indications for a diquark-pomeron coupling are also found. Similarities with fragmentation in lepton-hadron deep inelastic scattering are underlined.     

Refurbishment of a used in‐vacuum undulator from the National Synchrotron Light Source for the National Synchrotron Light Source‐II ring

The National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) ceased operation in September 2014 and was succeeded by NSLS‐II. There were four in‐vacuum undulators (IVUs) in operation at NSLS. The most recently constructed IVU for NSLS was the mini‐gap undulator (MGU‐X25, to be renamed IVU18 for NSLS‐II), which was constructed in 2006. This device was selected to be reused for the New York Structural Biology Consortium Microdiffraction beamline at NSLS‐II. At the time of construction, IVU18 was a state‐of‐the‐art undulator designed to be operated as a cryogenic permanent‐magnet undulator. Due to the more stringent field quality and impedance requirements of the NSLS‐II ring, the transition region was redesigned. The control system was also updated to NSLS‐II specifications. This paper reports the details of the IVU18 refurbishment activities including additional magnetic measurement and tuning.     

Detection of small amounts of H2O in CO2‐rich fluid inclusions using Raman spectroscopy

Raman spectroscopic analysis at low (−100 °C) or high (100–200 °C) temperature is shown to be effective for detecting small amounts of H₂O in CO₂‐rich fluid inclusions from the deep lithosphere, which have previously been thought to be water‐free. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
