title: Measurement of the DAΦNE luminosity with the KLOE detector using large angle Bhabha scattering
abstract: We describe the method of measuring the integrated luminosity of the e+e- collider DAΦNE, the Frascati φ-factory. The measurement is done with the KLOE detector selecting large angle Bhabha scattering events and normalizing them to the effective cross section. The e+e-→e+e-(γ) cross section is calculated using different event generators which account for the $\mathcal{O}(\alpha)$ radiative initial and final state corrections, and the φ resonance contribution. The accuracy of the measurement is 0.6%, where 0.3% comes from systematic errors related to the event counting and 0.5% from theoretical evaluations of the cross section.

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: THE BUNCH LENGTH MEASUREMENT OF BEPC WITH A STREAK CAMERA
abstract: A dual-axis streak camera Hamamatsu model C5680-11, has been installed on Beijing Electron-Positron Collider (BEPC) to measure the bunch length and the bunch lengthening in the storage ring. The results of the measurement are more accurate and reliable than that measured with other instruments, and play important roles in the future upgrade of BEPC. In this paper we describe the synchrotron light extracting optics setup, the operating principle, features, the basic system configuration of the streak camera. Some typical results of the measurement in recent years are presented. The measurement errors including systematic and random are also analyzed.

title: Bunch lengthening study in BEPC
abstract: The bunch lengthening in the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider (BEPC) is investigated systematically with streak camera and the method of beam spectrum analysis. Many available results are obtained from the measurement and the corresponding scaling law is summarized in the light of the existing theoretical explanation. Due to its importance for BEPC upgrades, the related parameters and effects of bunch lengthening are studied in details.

title: THE COUPLING COMPENSATION AND MEASUREMENT IN THE INTERACTION REGION OF BEPCII
abstract: The detector solenoid field in the BEPCII interaction region will be compensated by six anti-solenoids, which are located nearby the interaction point. Skew quadrupoles are adopted for the global coupling compensation. The coupling compensation scheme and the method to tune and measure the x-y coupling at the interaction point will be introduced in detail. COUPLING COMPENSATION SCHEME The BESIII detector solenoid has maximum field strength of 1.0T over an effective length of ±1.8m around the interaction point (IP) where the particle motion between the horizontal and vertical planes will be coupled. The lattice functions, the vertical emmittance and the tilt angle of beam are strongly related to the coupling parameters. Therefore, without the dedicated coupling compensation it is impossible to meet higher luminosity. According to the requirements of high energy physics, BEPCII will be operated at the energy range from 1.0GeV to 2.1GeV, so the compensation system should be powerful enough to work perfectly for particles within the momentum range. For this purpose an anti-solenoid system has been designed in the superconducting magnet package to realize the local compensation of x-y coupling effects in the interaction region (IR). This system consists of three anti-solenoids AS1, AS2 and AS3 and a skew quadrupole inside the superconducting cryostat. AS1 locates between the IP and the superconducting quadrupole (SCQ) which acts as the first vertical focusing quadrupole. AS2 and the skew quadrupole overlap SCQ, while AS3 locates after SCQ. They are all dedicated to the compensation of the detector fields along the beam line for both e+ and erings which have the same beam energy. The local compensation layout of BEPCII and wiring schematic diagram are shown in Fig. 1.  The local coupling compensation layout of BEPCII and wiring schematic diagram. With this compensation scheme, the integral field ∫Bzds between the IP and SCQ is zero. The longitudinal field over SCQ is nearly zero and the integral field ∫Bzds between SCQ and the first horizontal focusing quadrupole is zero too. As well known the compensation of longitudinal field within SCQ region is a key for higher luminosity. The skew quadrupole which overlaps SCQ can make fine tuning of longitudinal field over the SCQ region instead of the mechanical rotation method. AS2 and AS3, which have their own independent trim circuits to allow fine tuning of the anti-solenoid compensation scheme, are in series with AS1. Fig. 2 shows the distribution of the axial combination magnetic field Bz along the axis of BESIII detector after compensation simulated by OPERA-2D code.  The distribution of the axial combination magnetic field along the axis of the BESIII detector. Since the anti-solenoids AS1, AS2, AS3 and the skew quadrupole are the common elements for both e+ and erings, it is necessary to add some independent variables for the coupling adjustment of one ring with the coupling of the other ring unchanged. Due to the limitation of free space, we arrange four skew quadrupoles only for each ring, which are distributed in the interaction region, injection regions and RF region respectively for the further fine tuning of coupling. The horizontal dispersion in those regions is free so that the changes of the vertical dispersion and its slope can be neglected during the coupling adjustment. The global coupling parameter and the beam tile angle at the IP of each ring, which are induced by solenoid field, the beam vertical orbit distortion inside the sextupoles and the parasitic x-y coupling due to machine errors, can be compensated by tuning the strength of the skew quadrupoles and antisolenoids. ________________________________________ *Email: yuch@mail.ihep.ac.cn

title: STUDIES ON THE BEAM CURRENT DEPENDENT PHENOMENA IN THE BEPC-II STORAGE RINGS
abstract: The commissioning of the upgrade project of the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCII) started on Nov. 12, 2006. During the 1 and 2 stages of the commissioning of the BEPCII rings, we had got the luminosity one tenth of its design value, provided beams to synchrotron radiation users for ~ 4 months, and studied beam dynamics as well. In this paper, some preliminary results of the beam dynamics will be given.  The upgrade project of the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC), BEPCII, is mainly composed of a linac, two transport lines and two storage rings in parallel for eand e+ beams, respectively. The two halves of the outer rings are connected as a synchrotron radiation (SR) ring, with 14 beam lines extracted from 5 wigglers and 9 bending magnets. The layout and other details of the three rings of BEPCII can be found in . In this paper, we mainly discuss some beam current dependent phenomena in the collision rings, say, BER and BPR for eand e+ beams, respectively. Some main nominal parameters of the lattice are listed in Table 1.  Main parameters of the BEPCII collision rings Beam energy GeV 1.89 Circumference m 237.53 Beam current A 0.91 Bunch current / Bunch No. mA 9.8 / 93 Natural bunch length mm 13.6 RF frequency MHz 499.8 Harmonic number 396 Emittance (x/y) nm.rad 144/2.2 β function at IP (x/y) m 1.0/0.015 Crossing angle mrad ±11 Tune (x/y/s) 6.54/5.59/0.034 Momentum compaction 0.0237 Energy spread 5.16×10 Natural chromaticity (x/y) −10.8/−20.8 Luminosity cms 1×10 Both BER and BPR have same magnetic lattices with the super period number of 1. Figure 1 shows the Twiss functions in the interaction region, the RF region and the whole ring. In order to have a big emittance and a high beam current, a quasi-FODO structure with 10 dipoles and 2 missing dipoles in each arc is applied. In the second section, we will discuss the single bunch beam dynamics studies. Multi-bunch beam effects will be introduced in section 3. Some instabilities were observed and showed in section 4. At last, a summary will be given.  Twiss functions in the IR (up-left), the RF region (up-right) and the whole ring (down) of BER/BPR SINGLE BUNCH BEAM DYNAMICS Optics correction After beams were injected smoothly into the rings, the β functions along the rings are measured before and after the optics corrections based on the measured response matrices . The relative errors between the nominal and measured beta functions are less then 10% averagely. Other Twiss functions, such as dispersions and transverse tunes, were also measured and close to the design values. Under these circumstances, we could do some beam observations and measurements of other parameter. Beam energy spread Beam energy spread was measured with the method of longitudinal quantum lifetime. If the RF voltage is set to keep a relatively short beam lifetime, say 20 or 30 min, thus the longitudinal quantum lifetime can be considered as the dominant one. The beam energy spread at different bunch current could be estimated with the longitudinal momentum acceptance. Figure 2 shows the beam energy spreads at different bunch current in both BER and BPR. 5.1 5.14 5.18 5.22 5.26 0 3 6 9 12 Ib(mA) σ (Ε −4 )
