Electron beam evolution in a successive Compton backscattering

Inverse Compton scattering (ICS) is a unique source of highly monochromatic x-ray and gamma radiation. We investigate theoretically the cumulative effects of repeated head-on interactions between the electron beam and a train of powerful laser pulses inside a linear accelerating structure placed between mirrors of an optical resonator. We find that the longitudinal momentum spread converges exponentially to an equilibrium value due to the competition between quantum excitation (heating) and radiation friction (cooling). The predictions of the developed theory coincide very well with computer simulations. Our work establishes the necessity to account for cumulative transverse beam dynamics in the design and optimization of future stable, high-brightness ICS sources.

Comparative study of the inclusive asymmetries induced by polarized protons and antiprotons at 16 GeV/$c$ at the U-70 accelerator

The only comparative study of the inclusive pion single-spin asymmetries produced in the interactions of the polarized protons and antiprotons in collisions with unpolarized proton was carried out at E-704 experiment. Significant asymmetries were found at large $x_{F}$ and middle $p_{T}$, $π^{+}$ and $π^{0}$ asymmetries have positive signs while $π^{-}$ has negative one in the $p^{\uparrow}+p$ collisions, while in the $\bar{p}^{\uparrow}+p$ interactions the $π^{-}$ and $π^{0}$ asymmetries have positive signs while $π^{+}$ has negative sign. Similar experimental study can be done in the SPASCHARM experiment at U-70 accelerator at IHEP for various secondary particles with the use of 16 GeV polarized proton and antiproton beams.

Geant4 simulations of the lead fluoride calorimeter

In this paper we simulate the emission by charged particles in complex structures with help of Geant4. We take into account Cherenkov radiation, transition radiation, bremsstrahlung, pair production and other accompanying processes. As an application we investigate the full size electromagnetic calorimeter for the muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab. A calorimeter module (24 are expected in the experiment) consists of a Delrin front panel for installation of the laser calibration system, 54 PbF2 Cherenkov crystals wrapped by the black Millipore paper, and silicon photo-multiplier sensors. We report here on a simulation of radiation from positrons passing through the calorimeter system. We carry out the simulation using Geant4 toolkit, which provides a complete set of tools for all areas of detector simulation: geometry, tracking, detector response, run, event and track management, and visualization. We consider Cherenkov photons expansion when a positron moves down through the calorimeter at the arbitrary angle of incidence. Both spectral and angular distributions of Cherenkov optical photons in different parts of the calorimeter system have been evaluated as well as the transition radiation and pre-shower distributions from the panel and from the Al vacuum chamber of the storage ring. (The paper is in progress).

Ptychography imaging of the phase vortices in the x-ray beam formed by nanofocusing lenses

We present the ptychography reconstruction of the x-ray beam formed by nanofocusing lenses (NFLs) containing a number of phase singularities (vortices) in the vicinity of the focal plane. As a test object Siemens star pattern was used with the finest features of 50 nm for ptychography measurements. The extended ptychography iterative engine (ePIE) algorithm was applied to retrieve both complex illumination and object functions from the set of diffraction patterns. The reconstruction revealed the focus size of 91.4$\pm$1.1 nm in horizontal and 70$\pm$0.3 nm in vertical direction at full width at half maximum (FWHM). The complex probe function was propagated along the optical axis of the beam revealing the evolution of the phase singularities.

Perspectives to measure neutrino-nuclear neutral current coherent scattering with two-phase emission detector

We propose to detect and to study neutrino neutral current coherent scattering off atomic nuclei with a two-phase emission detector using liquid xenon as a working medium. Expected signals and backgrounds are calculated for two possible experimental sites: Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant in the Russian Federation and Spallation Neutron Source at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the USA. Both sites have advantages as well as limitations. However the experiment looks feasible at either location. Preliminary design of the detector and supporting R&D program are discussed.

Dynamics of colloidal crystals studied by pump-probe experiments at FLASH

We present a time-resolved infrared (IR) pump and extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) probe diffraction experiment to investigate ultrafast structural dynamics in colloidal crystals with picosecond resolution. The experiment was performed at the FLASH facility at DESY with a fundamental wavelength of 8 nm. In our experiment, the temporal changes of Bragg peaks were analyzed and their frequency components were calculated using Fourier analysis. Periodic modulations in the colloidal crystal were localized at a frequency of about 4-5 GHz. Based on the Lamb theory, theoretical calculations of vibrations of the isotropic elastic polystyrene spheres of 400 nm in size reveal a 5.07 GHz eigenfrequency of the ground (breathing) mode.

Double Spin Asymmetries A_NN and A_SS at sqrt{s}=200 GeV in Polarized Proton-Proton Elastic Scattering at RHIC

We present the first measurements of the double spin asymmetries A_NN and A_SS at sqrt{s}=200 GeV, obtained by the pp2pp experiment using polarized proton beams at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The data were collected in the four momentum transfer t range 0.01<|t|<0.03 (GeV/c)^2. The measured asymmetries, which are consistent with zero, allow us to estimate upper limits on the double helicity-flip amplitudes phi_2 and phi_4 at small t as well as on the difference Delta(sigma_T) between the total cross sections for transversely polarized protons with antiparallel or parallel spin orientations.

Determination of Circular Polarization of gamma-quanta with Energy > 10 MeV using Compton Polarimeter

The circularly polarized gamma-quanta with energy > 10 MeV are formed during Compton backscattering of circularly polarized laser photons on an electron beam with energy 1.26 GeV. The contribution of nonlinear processes for planned parameters of a laser flash[T. Okugi, Y. Kurihara and M. Chiba, Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. 35, p. 3677 (1996).] can be rather significant, that leads to deterioration of polarization of a resulting gamma-beam. The direct method of measurement of gamma-beam circular polarization will allow not only to estimate a correctness of the theoretical calculations, but also to use the obtained information for simulation of polarization parameters of positrons.

Coulomb-hadron phase factor and spin phenomena in a wide region of transfer momenta

The Coulomb-hadron interference effects are examined at small and large $t$. The methods for the definition of spin-dependent parts of hadron scattering amplitude are presented. The additional contributions to analyzing power $A_N$ and the double spin correlation parameter $A_{NN}$ owing to the electromagnetic-hadron interference are determined in the diffraction dip domain of high-energy elastic hadron scattering.
