title: G**p(E) / G**p(M) for bound protons: first results for O-16 with the recoil polarization technique
abstract: The first (e,e'p) polarization transfer measurements on a nucleus heavier than deuterium have been carried out at Jefferson Laboratory. Transverse and longitudinal components of the polarization of protons ejected in the reaction 16O(e,e'p) were measured in quasielastic perpendicular kinematics at a Q^2 of 0.8 (GeV/c)^2. The data are in good agreement with state of the art calculations, but do not exclude possible changes in the ratio of the electric to magnetic form factors of the nucleon in the nuclear medium at the level of recent theoretical predictions.

title: Response functions for deep inelastic scattering from Ca-40
abstract: Deep inelastic electron scattering cross sections have been measured from /sup 40/Ca at energies between 100 and 375 MeV and at scattering angles of 90/sup 0/ and 140/sup 0/. Longitudinal and transverse response functions at three-vector momentum transfers of 330, 370, and 410 MeV/c were extracted from these data using a Rosenbluth separation. The integrated longitudinal response functions for the three momentum transfers are found to have, respectively, 65%, 75%, and 90% of the longitudinal strength predicted by the Fermi gas model.

title: Multi-GeV Electron Linac-Pulse Stretcher Design Options
abstract: The Linac-Pulse Stretcher Ring system is evaluated as a design for a high duty factor (> 90%), intense (240 ¿A), electron accelerator for operation in the 0.5 to multi-GeV (> 4 GeV) region. Options within this system are discussed in light of their predicted initial and operational cost, flexibility, and reliability. The ramifications of the choice of a particular cavity type, accelerating gradient, repetition rate, beam pulse length, and number of beam recirculations for the linac design are discussed both with respect to the linac itself and to the Pulse Stretcher Ring. The Pulse Stretcher Ring concept is analysed in terms of injection schemes (single or multi-turn), extraction methods (half or third integer, chromatic or achromatic), and operation parameters (machine tune and chromaticity).

title: Minimal models on Riemann surfaces
abstract: We extend the Coulomb gas representation of minimal model correlation functions to higher genius Riemann surfaces. Specifically, we incorporate the “BRS” structure of this representation into the operator formalism. This allows traces over the spectrum of a minimal model to be computed from traces over Fock spaces of a free scalar field. This our results are obtained by standard sewing techniques. The formulation is general, but we present here in particular the two-loop characters of the Ising model.

title: Shock-Free Wave Propagation in Gauge Theories
abstract: We present the shock-free wave propagation requirements for massless fields.First, we briefly argue how the “completely exceptional” approach, originallydeveloped to study the characteristics of hyperbolic systems in 1 + 1 dimensions,can be generalized to higher dimensions and used to describe propagation withoutemerging shocks, with characteristic flow remaining parallel along the waves.We then study the resulting requirements for scalar, vector, vector-scalar, andgravity models and characterize physically acceptable actions in each case.

title: Operator algebra of the 4-D W(3) string
abstract: The noncritical 4D W3 string is a model of W3 gravity coupled to two free scalar fields. In this paper we discuss its BRST quantization in direct analogy with that of the 2D (Virasoro) string. The physical operators form a BV-algebra. We model this BV-algebra on that of the polyderivations of a commutative ring on six variables with a quadratic constraint, or, equivalently, on the BV-algebra of (polynomial) polyvector fields on the base affine space ofSL(3,C).

title: Anti-Proton Source Beam Position System
abstract: The TeV I Beam Position Monitor (BPM) system is designed to provide a useful diagnostic tool during the commissioning and operational phases of the antiproton source. Simply stated the design goal is to provide single turn position information for intensities of > 1x10/sup 9/ particles, and multi-turn (clocked orbit) information for beam intensities of > 1x10/sup 7/ particles, both with sub-millimeter resolution. It is anticipated that the system will be used during commissioning for establishing the first turn through the Debuncher and Accumulator, for aligning injection orbits, for providing information necessary to correct closed orbits, and for measuring various machine parameters (e.g. tunes, dispersion, aperture, chromaticity). During normal antiproton operation the system will be used to monitor the beam position throughout the accumulation process.

title: Nonsymmetric gravity has unacceptable global asymptotics
abstract: We analyze the radiative aspects of nonsymmetric gravity theory to show that, in contrast to General Relativity, its nonstationary solutions cannot simultaneously exhibit acceptable asymptotic behavior at both future and past null infinity: good behavior at future null infinity is only possible through the use of advanced potentials with concomitant unphysical behavior at past null infinity.
