An effective Hamiltonian which could model the interaction between a tunneling proton and the conduction electrons of a metal is investigated. A remarkably simple correlation between the motion of the $TLS$-atom and an angular-momentum…
We present results from the SPring-8 Angstrom Compact free electron LAser (SACLA) XFEL facility, using a high intensity ($\sim\!10^{20}\,$W/cm$^2$) X-ray pump X-ray probe scheme to observe changes in the ionic structure of silicon induced…
We present two complementary strategies for modeling nonlinear quantum optics in realistic integrated optical devices, where scattering loss is present. In the first strategy, we model scattering loss as an attenuation; in the second, we…
The primary purpose of the Fermilab Recycler Ring Transverse Digital Damper System is to prevent instabilities due to high phase space densities of the cooled antiproton beam. The system was designed to facilitate Beam Transfer Function…
Accurate elastic scattering angular distribution data measured at bombarding energies just above the Coulomb barrier have shapes that can markedly differ from or be the same as the expected classical Fresnel scattering pattern depending on…
Recent pulsar scintillation measurements from Ooty, in conjunction with those from Parkes and other large radio telescopes, are used for a systematic investigation of the Local Interstellar Medium (LISM) towards the general direction of the…
High-power hadron accelerators have strict limits on fractional beam loss. In principle, once a high-quality beam is set up in an acceptable state, beam loss should remain steady. However, in practice, there are many trips in operational…
We report the results of observations of H- beam instabilities at the Fermilab Linac. By intentionally creating "high" background pressure with different gases in the 750 keV transport line we observed coherent transverse beam oscillations.…
LINAC 4 is a normal conducting H- linac proposed at CERN to provide a higher proton flux to the CERN accelerator chain. It should replace the existing LINAC 2 as injector to the Proton Synchrotron Booster and can also operate in the future…
We study the effect of inelastic scattering on the spin entanglement detection and discrimination scheme proposed by Egues, Burkard, and Loss [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{89}, 176401 (2002)]. The finite-backscattering beam splitter geometry is…
The stationary phase point (SPP) method in one-dimensional case is introduced to treat the diffractive scintillation. From weak scattering, where the SPP number N=1, to strong scattering (N$\gg$1), via transitional scattering regime…
We examine the potential impacts to slip-stacking from a change of the Booster cycle-rate from 15- to 20-Hz. We find that changing the Booster cycle-rate to 20-Hz would greatly increase the slip-stacking bucket area, while potentially…
Liquid scintillating phantoms have been proposed as a means to perform real-time 3D dosimetry for proton therapy treatment plan verification. We have studied what effect radiation damage to the scintillator will have upon this application.…
The intensities and profiles of the muon beam behind the beam dump of the Fermilab test beam area when the facility is running in the "pion" beam mode are measured and summarized in this note. This muon beam with momenta in the range 10 -…
The latest generation of IPMs installed in the Fermilab Main Injector and Recycler incorporate a 1 kG permanent magnet, a newly designed high-gain, rad-tolerant preamp, and a control grid to moderate the charge that is allowed to arrive on…
One of the on-going issues with the use of microchannel plates (MCP) in the ionization profile monitors (IPM) at Fermilab is the significant decrease in gain over time. There are several possible issues that can cause this. Historically,…
We use speckle-visibility spectroscopy to measure the time-dependence of bubble rearrangement events that are driven by coarsening in an aqueous foam. This technique gives the time-trace for the average scattering site speed within a…
