ILC 3.2 km damping ring design based on the FODO cell
We report on a new design for an ILC 3.2 km damping ring, with 2 arcs based on the FODO cell and 2 straight sections that are nearly the same as the newest version of the 6.4 km ring DCO4. This new lattice requires fewer magnets and a lower RF voltage, and has a better dynamic aperture than DCO4 while maintaining flexibility in regard to the momentum compaction factor. So far, this design is the only one satisfying all the requirements for a 3.2 km ring. The work on the lattice design and the dynamic aperture study is presented in detail.

title: LATTICE DESIGN FOR THE BEPCII STORAGE RING
abstract: BEPCII, the upgrading project of the BEPC, has been being designed with a luminosity of 10 33 cm -2 s -1 at the J/ψ energy. It still keeps the potential to provide beams as a synchrotron radiation (SR) facility. The storage rings for collision contain a positron and an electron ring and the ring for dedicated SR uses the outer parts of the two rings. To fit all the conditions either on beam or on space limit, lattices are carefully designed for both high energy physics and SR experiments with sufficient dynamic apertures and high efficiencies for injection. The features of the lattices are also discussed in the paper. 1 DESIGN REQUIREMENTS BEPCII is an upgrade project of the Beijing ElectronPositron Collider (BEPC), in which a new inner ring will be installed inside the old one. It will provide colliding beams with the center-of-mass energy from 1.0GeV×2 to 2.0GeV×2 and also the dedicated synchrotron radiation beam with 2.5 GeV. For the colliding beams the luminosity is optimized at 1.89 GeV with 1×10 33 cm -2 s -1 . For the dedicated synchrotron radiation beam, the current is 250 mA with an emittance as low as possible. There have been several beam-lines in the BEPC for the synchrotron radiation experiments, so the current bending magnets and insertion devices in the southern region have to be fixed at their present positions. In order to increase the average luminosity, the “topoff” injection scheme up to 1.89 GeV is adopted. This requires that the injection and collision optics must be the same. The main parameters are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

title: DESIGN OF BEAM TRANSPORT LINE FROM RCS TO TARGET FOR CSNS
abstract: China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) uses the high energy proton beam to strike the Tungsten target to generate neutrons through spallation reaction. The proton beam is extracted from the Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS), whose beam power reaches 100 kW. For the sake of target lifetime, beam distribution at the target surface is required as uniform as possible. Nonlinear beam density redistribution method with two octupole magnets has been studied. Also some simulation and theoretical calculation have been done. According to the simulation result, the beam density at the target is optimized and the beam loss is under control.

title: General conditions for self-cancellation of geometric aberrations in a lattice structure
abstract: In this paper we will discuss the general conditions for self-cancellation of geometric aberrations in an uncoupled or even coupled lattice structure. The self-cancellation conditions show that - I transformer even noninterleaved multipoles is not necessary. We will also give two examples for sextupole case to specify the application.

title: Transfer matrices of dipoles with bending radius variation
abstract: With the increasing demand of high brightness in light source, the uniform dipole can not meet the needs of low emittance, and thus the dipole with bending radius variation is introduced in this paper. The transfer matrix of a non-uniform dipole whose bending radius is linearly changed is chosen as an example and a very simple calculation formula of non-uniform dipole transfer matrices is given. The transfer matrices of some common profile non-uniform dipoles are also listed. The comparison of these transfer matrices and the matrices calculated with slices method verifies the numerical accuracy of this formula. This method can make the non-uniform beam dynamic problem simpler, very helpful for emittance research and lattice design with non-uniform dipoles.

title: Study of $J/\psi\to p\bar{p}$ and $J/\psi\to n\bar{n}$
abstract: The decays $J/\psi\to p\bar{p}$ and $J/\psi\to n\bar{n}$ have been investigated with a sample of 225.2 million $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII $e^+e^-$ collider. The branching fractions are determined to be $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\to p\bar{p})=(2.112\pm0.004\pm0.031)\times10^{-3}$ and $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\to n\bar{n})=(2.07\pm0.01\pm0.17)\times10^{-3}$. Distributions of the angle $\theta$ between the proton or anti-neutron and the beam direction are well described by the form $1+\alpha\cos^2\theta$, and we find $\alpha=0.595\pm0.012\pm0.015$ for $J/\psi\to p\bar{p}$ and $\alpha=0.50\pm0.04\pm0.21$ for $J/\psi\to n\bar{n}$. Our branching-fraction results suggest a large phase angle between the strong and electromagnetic amplitudes describing the $J/\psi\to N\bar{N}$ decay.

title: Search for New Phenomena with the Monojet and Missing Transverse Momentum Signature Using the ATLAS Detector in $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV Proton-Proton Collisions
abstract: A search for new phenomena in events featuring a high energy jet and large missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV is presented using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 33 pb(-1) recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The number of observed events is consistent with the Standard Model prediction. This result is interpreted in terms of limits on a model of Large Extra Dimensions.

title: ICARUS. A status report
abstract: The latest evolutions of the ICARUS project are reviewed. During the present year the collaboration has been heavily involved into the construction of the first full scale prototypes of the 600 ton ICARUS detector. Cryogenic and purification tests as well as mechanical tests on a wires chamber module, are presently under completion. No major problems were found and we foresee to be ready for the commissioning of the major detector components by the end of the present year. Also, the Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillation program has been subject to a rapid acceleration. Following our formal proposal, submitted and approved at the beginning of this year by the CERN SPSLC, a working group has been formed to study the details of the beam and a sensitive program has been formulated by which first neutrinos can be sent to the Gran Sasso at the end of year 2001.
