D0 papers on B-physics submitted to DPF '96: b-quark inclusive cross sections and b anti-b correlations using dimuons from the D0 experiment; Single muon production in the forward region at [radical]s=1. 8 TEV; Rapidity dependence of the inclusive J[psi] production in the forward region [radical]s=1. 8 TEV; A search for b [r arrow] X[mu][sup +][mu][sup [minus]] and B[sup 0] [r arrow] [mu][sup +][mu][sup [minus]] decays in p anti-p collisions at [radical]s=1. 8 TEV

Description: Paper 1: Using dimuons collected with the D0 detector during the 1993--1995 Tevatron collider run, the authors have measured the b-quark cross section and b[anti b] correlations as given by the difference in azimuthal angle between the two muons. Both measurements agree with the NLO QCD predictions within experimental and theoretical errors. (Three other papers are included in this report.)

Design and Construction of the PEP-II Low Energy Ring

Description: We describe the design and construction status of theLow-Energy Ring (LER) of the PEP-II project, a collaboration of SLAC,LBNL, and LLNL. In the past year we have optimized LER parameters andstarted component fabrication. By reusing the original wigglers, we wereable to simplify the design of the distributed wiggler photon dump, whichmust dissipate 260 kW of power. The number of RF stations (eachcomprising a klystron powering two 476-MHz cavities) was reduced from 4to 3. We have begun fabricati… more

Regional and National Estimates of the PotentialEnergy Use, Energy Cost, and CO{sub 2} Emissions Associated with Radon Mitigation by Sub-slab Depressurization

Description: Active sub-slab depressurization (SSD) systems are an effective means of reducing indoor radon concentrations in residential buildings. However, energy is required to operate the system fan and to heat or cool the resulting increased building ventilation. We present regional and national estimates of the energy requirements, operating expenses, and CO{sub 2} emissions associated with using SSD systems at saturation (i.e., in all U.S. homes with radon concentrations above the EPA remediation gui… more

Wind-induced Ground-surface Pressures Around a Single-Family House

Description: Wind induces a ground-surface pressure field around a building that can substantially affect the flow of soil gas and thereby the entry of radon and other soil-gas contaminants into the building. To quantify the effect of the wind-induced groundsurface pressure field on contaminant entry rates, the mean ground-surface pressure field was experimentally measured in a wind tunnel for several incidence angles of the wind, two atmospheric boundary layers, and two house geometries. The experimentally… more

Progress on PEP-II Magnet Power Conversion System?

Description: The various power systems for supplying the PEP-II DCmagnets rely exclusively on switch mode conversion, utilizing a varietyof means depending on the requirements. All of the larger power supplies,ranging from 10 to 200 kW, are powered from DC sources utilizingrectified 480 V AC. Choppers can be used for the series connectedstrings, but for smaller groups and individual magnets, inverters drivinghigh-frequency transformers with secondary rectifiers comprise the bestapproach. All of the various … more

Non-destructive evaluation techniques for chemical weapons destruction

Description: fThe safe and verifiable disposition, either by incineration or chemical neutralization of chemical warfare (CW) agents requires correct {ital a priori} identification of each munition or container to be processed. A variety of NDE techniques have been used or tested for the examination and characterization of munitions. In the U.S., three widely used techniques are X-ray radiography, acoustic resonance spectroscopy (ARS), and prompt gamma ray neutron activation analysis (PINS). The technical b… more

Transient coherent synchrotron radiation in magnetic bending systems

Description: Transient evolution of the power radiated coherently by a charged- particle bunch orbiting between two infinite, parallel conducting plates is calculated. The plates comprise an idealized vacuum pipe in a bending magnet. The bunch moves on a trajectory such that it suddenly diverts from a straight-line path to a circular orbit and begins radiating. The influence of the plates on the transients is contrasted to their shielding of the steady-state radiated power. The effect of the radiation field… more

Operating experience at CEBAF

Description: CEBAF, the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility, is a 5-pass, recirculating, superconducting rf linac designed to provide exceptional beam quality at 4 GeV up to 200 {mu}A CW. It is made up of an injector, two 400-MeV linacs, and 9 recirculation arcs having a total beamline length of more than 4.5 km. On Nov. 5, 1995, CEBAF delivered a 4 GeV, 25-{mu}A CW electron beam to the first of 3 experimental halls and the experimental physics program was started 10 days later. Accelerator availa… more

Energy spread from rf amplitude and phase errors

Description: The energy spread in the beam due to rf amplitude and phase errors is calculated for multiple passes and off-crest operation. Effects of the slow phase errors and feedback systems are included in the calculation. If an rms energy spread requirement is to be met, a final formula gives the tradeoff between slow and fast phase errors and amplitude errors. Phase and amplitude stability requirements are derived for CEBAF IR DEMO FEL (free electron laser).

Energy stability in recirculating, energy-recovering linacs in the presence of a FEL

Description: Recirculating, energy-recovering linacs can be used as driver accelerators for high power FELs (free electron lasers). Instabilities which arise from fluctuations of the cavity fields are investigated. Energy changes can cause beam loss on apertures, or, when coupled to M{sub 56}, phase oscillations. Both effects change the beam induced voltage in the cavities and can lead to unstable variations of the accelerating field. An analytical model which includes amplitude and phase feedback, has been… more

Conceptual foundation of the Fokker-Planck approach to space-charge effects

Description: An rms-mismatched beam can evolve rapidly to a configuration of quasiequilibrium under the influence of space-charge forces. As sit evolves, its emittance grows and a diffuse halo forms. The beam`s distribution function accounts for all the complicated dynamics. Unfortunately, the distribution function is difficult to calculate inasmuch as the physics lies at the interface between classical mechanics and thermodynamics. This paper presents the foundation for a statistical theory of the dynamics… more

Correction of dispersion and the betatron functions in the CEBAF accelerator

Description: During the commissioning of the CEBAF accelerator, correction of dispersion and momentum compaction, and, to a lesser extent, transverse transfer matrices were essential for robust operation. With changing machine conditions, repeated correction was found necessary. To speed the diagnostic process the authors developed a method which allows one to rapidly track the machine optics. The method is based on measuring the propagation of 30 Hz modulated betatron oscillations downstream of a point of … more
