Study of the subjet structure of quark and gluon jets
Measurements of the subjet structure of quark and gluon jets in hadronic Z decays are presented. The analysis is based on one million hadronic events recorded by the Aleph detector. Roughly symmetric three-jet events are selected with a coarse jet-resolution cut-off, y1. Gluon jets are identified with a purity of 94.6% in those events where evidence of long-lived heavy-flavour hadrons in the other two jets is found. The jets are then analyzed using a smaller cut-off y0 (< y1) so that subjets are resolved. The properties of the jets (subjet multiplicities (Nq), (Ng) and rates Rng(q) for n = 1, 2, 3, 4) are determined and are found to be in good agreement with the expectations of perturbative QCD as long as the subjet resolution parameter y0 is sufficiently large to keep non-perturbative effects small. In particular, the ratio , which to leading order in QCD is given by the ratio of colour factors , is measured to be 1.96 ± 0.15 for y0 = 2 · 10−3, but falls to 1.29 ± 0.03 for y0 = 1.6 · 10−5.

title: A measurement of the ratio of longitudinal and transverse structure functions in neutrino interactions between 30 and 200 GeV
abstract: A new measurement of the ratio R = σ L / σ T of longitudinal and transverse structure functions in neutrino interactions on iron between 30 and 190 GeV neutrino energy is reported. The result is given as a function of the scale parameter x and the inelasticity ν of the interaction. The average value is R = 0.10 ± 0.07 around ν ≈ 50 GeV and is in accordance with a prediction from the QCD theory.

title: First measurement of the quark-to-photon fragmentation function
abstract: Earlier measurements at LEP of isolated hard photons in hadronic Z decays, attributed to radiation from primary quark pairs, have been extended in the ALEPH experiment to include hard photon productioninside hadron jets. Events are selected where all particles combine democratically to form hadron jets, one of which contains a photon with a fractional energyz≥0.7. After statistical subtraction of non-prompt photons, the quark-to-photon fragmentation function,D(z), is extracted directly from the measured 2-jet rate. By taking into account the perturbative contributions toD(z) obtained from anO(ααs) QCD calculation, the unknown non-perturbative component ofD(z) is then determined at highz. Provided due account is taken of hadronization effects nearz=1, a good description of the other event topologies is then found.

title: Studies of quantum chromodynamics with the ALEPH detector
abstract: Previously published and as yet unpublished QCD results obtained with the ALEPH detector at LEP1 are presented. The unprecedented statistics allows detailed studies of both perturbative and non-perturbative aspects of strong interactions to be carried out using hadronic Z and tau decays. The studies presented include precise determinations of the strong coupling constant, tests of its flavour independence, tests of the SU(3) gauge structure of QCD, study of coherence effects, and measurements of single-particle inclusive distributions and two-particle correlations for many identified baryons and mesons.

title: Charged particle pair production associated with a lepton pair in Z decays. indication of an excess in the tau channel
abstract: In a sample of 200 000 Z decays, events with two leptons and an additional pair of charged particles are studied. The 35 events found show a possible excess in the tau channel compared with the expectation from electroweak processes. The features of the events are consistent with radiation of virtual photons.

title: Production of excited beauty states inZ decays
abstract: AbstractA data sample of about 3.0 million hadronicZ decays collected by the ALEPH experiment at LEP in the years 1991 through 1994 is used to make an inclusive selection of B hadron events. In this event sample 4227±140±252B* mesons in the decayB*→Bγ and 1944±108±161B**u,d mesons decaying into a B meson and a charged pion are reconstructed. Here and in the followingB**u,d denotes the eightL=1(bū) and (bd) states and their charge conjugate.For the well establishedB* meson the following quantities are obtained:ΔM=MB*−MB=(45.30±0.35±0.87) MeV/c2 andNB*/(NB+NB*)=(77.1±2.6±7.0)%. The angular distribution of the photons in theB* rest frame is used to measure the relative contribution of longitudinalB* polarization states to beσL/(σL+σT)=(33±6±5)%.In theM(Bπ)−M(B) mass difference resonance structure is observed at (424±4±10) MeV/c2, for which the shape and position is consistent with the expectation forB**u,d states decaying intoB(*)π±. The relative production rate is determined to be
$$\begin{gathered} \frac{{BR(Z \to b \to B_{u,d}^{ * * } )}}{{BR(Z \to b \to B_{u,d} )}} \hfill \\ = [27.9 \pm 1.6(stat) \pm 5.9(syst) {}_{ - 5.6}^{ + 3.9} (model)]\% \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$
 where the third error reflects the uncertainty due to different production and decay models for the broadB**u,d states.

title: Beam breakup instability suppression in multicell superconducting rf guns
abstract: Helmholtz-Zentrum, Berlin, Germany(Received 28 November 2009; revised manuscript received 28 November 2010;  19 May 2011)In this paper, we provide an analytical description for transverse coupling impedances with dipole highorder modes (HOMs) and beam breakup (BBU) instability suppression of relativistic, high-current beamsundergoing strong acceleration, such as those typically produced by rf photoinjectors. The model adoptedis based on the accepted theory of coupling impedances extended to the case of beams characterized by afast transition due to strong acceleration, from the nonrelativistic to the relativistic regime in whicha bunch trajectory may not be rigidly directed parallel to the axis of the electric ﬁeld. The trajectoryoscillations in a dipole HOM ﬁeld in the transverse plane are effective in perturbing the bunch energy,which causes an increase of the coupling impedance up to the BBU instability. This BBU instabilityanalysis is based on equations obtained by Volkov [ (2009)]inwhich external focusing due to both the applied transverse electric (TE) HOM and the acceleratingfundamental mode as well as dipole HOM damping by external loads are investigated. This analysis isvalid in the limit in which the weak nonlinearity of applied ﬁelds near the axis may be neglected. Thesolution suggests a means of enhancing the BBU threshold current. The possibility of obtaining BBUinstability suppression in a long, integrated photoinjector and linac structure, such as the superconductingrf source at Forschungs Zentrum Dresden (FZD), are numerically examined. New designs of photo-injectors that provide BBU instability suppression of all dipole HOMs to enhance the threshold currentsare suggested.

title: First Considerations Concerning an Optimized Cavity Design for the Main Linac of BERLinPro
abstract: The Berlin Energy Recovery Linac Project (BERLinPro) is designed to develop and demonstrate CW linac technology and expertise required to drive next-generation Energy Recovery Linacs. Strongly HOM-damped multicell 1.3 GHz cavities are required for the main linac. The optimization of the cavities presented here is primarily based on the CEBAF 1.5 GHz 5-cell high-current cavity design, including HOM waveguide couplers. The cavity was scaled to 1.3 GHz and extended to 7 cells. Modifications to the end group design have also been studied. An effort was also made to reduce the ratio Epk/Eacc while still permitting HOMs to propagate.

title: Dark current measurements on a superconducting cavity using a cryogenic current comparator.
abstract: This paper presents nondestructive dark current measurements of tera electron volt energy superconducting linear accelerator cavities. The measurements were carried out in an extremely noisy accelerator environment using a low temperature dc superconducting quantum interference device based cryogenic current comparator. The overall current sensitivity under these rough conditions was measured to be 0.2 nA/Hz(1/2), which enables the detection of dark currents of 5 nA.

title: STATUS OF THE BERLinPro ENERGY RECOVERY LINAC PROJECT
abstract: In October 2010 HZB received funding to design and build the Berlin Energy Recovery Linac Project BERLinPro. The goal of this compact ERL is to develop the accelerator physics and technology required to generate and accelerate a 100-mA, 1-mm mrad emittance beam. The BERLinPro know-how can then be transferred to various ERL-based applications. Presently, BERLinPro is in the design phase, the optics has been settled and first beam has been achieved with an SRF photoinjector— an important first step towards realizing a high-current CW injector.

title: Performance of Tesla Cavities after Fabrication and Preparation in Industry
abstract: In order to demonstrate cw operation of TESLA cavities in a linear accelerator driven FEL application, two TESLA cavities were manufactured for BESSY. After production, both cavities were prepared for vertical test at ACCEL’s premises using state of the art chemical polishing and high pressure water rinsing techniques. The cavities were tested in DESY’s vertical RF test installation. Accelerating gradients close to 25 MV/m were reached. One cavity was completed with helium vessel modified for cw operation, prepared with chemical polishing and high pressure water rinsing and assembled with the required high power coupler at ACCEL. The fully dressed cavity was then shipped under vacuum to BESSY and is currently under test in the horizontal cryostat HoBiCaT.
