Reevaluation of spin-orbit dynamics of polarized e+e- beams in high energy circular accelerators and storage rings: An approach based on a Bloch equation

We give an overview of our current/future analytical and numerical work on the spin polarization in high-energy electron storage rings. Our goal is to study the possibility of polarization for the CEPC and FCC-ee. Our work is based on the so-called Bloch equation for the polarization density introduced by Derbenev and Kondratenko in 1975. We also give an outline of the standard approach, the latter being based on the Derbenev–Kondratenko formulas.

The Bloch equation for spin dynamics in electron storage rings: Computational and theoretical aspects

In this paper, we describe our work on spin polarization in high-energy electron storage rings which we base on the Full Bloch equation (FBE) for the polarization density and which aims towards the [Formula: see text] option of the proposed Future Circular Collider (FCC-ee) and the proposed Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC). The FBE takes into account non spin-flip and spin-flip effects due to synchrotron radiation including the spin-diffusion effects and the Sokolov–Ternov effect with its Baier–Katkov generalization as well as the kinetic-polarization effect. This mathematical model is an alternative to the standard mathematical model based on the Derbenev–Kondratenko formulas. For our numerical and analytical studies of the FBE, we develop an approximation to the latter to obtain an effective FBE. This is accomplished by finding a third mathematical model based on a system of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) underlying the FBE and by approximating that system via the method of averaging from perturbative ODE theory. We also give an overview of our algorithm for numerically integrating the effective FBE. This discretizes the phase space using spectral methods and discretizes time via the additive Runge–Kutta (ARK) method which is a high-order semi-implicit method. We also discuss the relevance of the third mathematical model for spin tracking.

Particle kinetic simulation of high altitude hypervelocity flight

In this grant period, the focus has been on the effects of thermo-chemical nonequilibrium in low-density gases, and on interactions between such gases and solid surfaces. Such conditions apply to hypersonic flows of re-entry vehicles, and to the expansion plumes of small rockets. Due to the nonequilibrium nature of these flows, a particle approach has been adopted. The method continues to undergo refinement and application to typical flows of interest. A number of studies have been performed for flows in thermo-chemical nonequilibrium. The effects of vibrational nonequilibrium on the rate of dissociation were studied for diatomic nitrogen. It was found that a new model reproduced the nonequilibrium behavior observed experimentally.

Electron Beam "Writes" Silicon On Sapphire

Method of growing silicon on sapphire substrate uses beam of electrons to aid growth of semiconductor material. Silicon forms as epitaxial film in precisely localized areas in micron-wide lines. Promising fabrication method for fast, densely-packed integrated circuits. Silicon deposited preferentially in contaminated substrate zones and in clean zone irradiated by electron beam. Electron beam, like surface contamination, appears to stimulate decomposition of silane atmosphere.
