Book Description
Chromaticity drift is a well-known and more or less well-understood phenomenon in superconducting colliders such as the Tevatron. Less known is the effect of tune and coupling drift, also observed in the Tevatron during injection. These effects are caused by field drifts in the superconducting magnets. Controlling the behavior of the tune, coupling, and chromaticity is an important part of reducing beam loss at injection and at the start of the Tevatron ramp. In this context we conducted several beam-studies during the period of April to August 2004 in which we measured the drift in the Tevatron chromaticity, tunes, and coupling during the injection porch. In some cases we also measured the snapback at the start of the ramp. We will present the results of these studies data and put them into context of the results of off-line magnetic measurements conducted in spare Tevatron dipoles.

Book Description
Chromaticity drift during injection is a well-known phenomenon in superconducting colliders, such as the Tevatron, HERA and RHIC. Imperfect compensation of the drift effects can contribute to beam loss and emittance growth. It is caused by the drift of the sextupole component in the dipole magnets due to current redistribution in its superconducting coils. Recently extensive studies of chromaticity drift were conducted at the Tevatron, aiming at the improvement of the luminosity performance in the ongoing run II. These studies included not only beam experiments, but also extensive off-line magnetic measurements on spare Tevatron dipoles. Less known, until recently, is that chromaticity drift is often accompanied by tune and coupling drift. This was recently discovered in the Tevatron. We believe that these effects are the product of systematic beam offset in conjunction with the sextupole drifts (and their compensation in the chromaticity correctors). These discoveries are most relevant to the upcoming LHC, where the drift effects will have even more dramatic consequences given the high beam current. It is therefore not a surprise that CERN has been the source of major advances in the understanding of dynamic effects during the LHC superconducting magnet development. The following will briefly review the CERN results as well as those of the recent Fermilab studies. A new result, which will be presented here also, is related to fast drifts occurring in the first few seconds of the injection plateau. Again, these fast drifts were observed first in the Tevatron and efforts are underway to explain them. Finally this paper will attempt to derive the implications of these drift effects on LHC commissioning and operation.

Book Description
The Tevatron was designed with an extensive set of correction and adjustment magnets built into the spool pieces in recognition of the circumstance that a superconducting synchrotron was not as easy to modify as its conventional forebearers. Recently, concern has mounted at the high excitation of the skew quadrupole correctors. The purpose of this note is to account for this situation. When slow extraction was attempted from the Main Ring in the summer of 1970 horizontal-vertical coupling prevented adequate transverse oscillation growth for efficient slow spill. This situation was corrected by an 8 mrad roll of each of twelve equi-spaced quadrupoles [1]. In order to avoid a repetition of this problem in the Tevatron, an extremely strong skew quadrupole circuit was built in at the outset. When the Tevatron was commissioned only 4$ of the capability of this circuit was required. Now, 20 years later, the excitation of this skew quadrupole circuit is approximately 60%. Other skew quadrupole correctors were installed in the neighborhood of the long straight sections, and for a variety of reasons the number of elements in the strong circuit was reduced from 48 to 42. These are relatively minor changes in the present context. Recall that in the normal Tevatron tuning process the skew quad circuits are adjusted to minimize the difference between the horizontal and vertical tunes to the level of {Delta}{nu}{sub min} {approx} 0.003. Normally the horizontal-vertical coupling is not observed directly by orbit measurements during this procedure. it was recognized that the strength of the skew quadrupole settings would imply an uncorrected minimum tune difference of 0.2 units. Clearly, with the skew quad circuit turned off the coupling of the orbital motion should be easily observable. In the following sections, the authors describe the recent Tevatron studies that exhibit the transverse coupling and the analyses that link these observations to the long term development of a skew quadrupole coefficient in the Tevatron dipoles. In brief, their conclusion is that a{sub 1} at the level of one of the traditional units will account for the coupling and is consistent with physical examination of a selection of dipoles in the tunnel.

Book Description
The High Energy Accelerator Conference has always been the monitor of the state of the art and the new trends in planning, construction and operation of large particle accelerators. It is held every three years. The 1992 conference is devoted to High Energy Hadron Accelerators and Colliders, Linear Colliders, e⁺e⁻ Storage Rings and related Technologies for these machines. In addition to status reports and contributed papers, the program features twelve survey talks which include summaries of individual poster papers.

Book Description
Cities and Their Vital Systems asks basic questions about the longevity, utility, and nature of urban infrastructures; analyzes how they grow, interact, and change; and asks how, when, and at what cost they should be replaced. Among the topics discussed are problems arising from increasing air travel and airport congestion; the adequacy of water supplies and waste treatment; the impact of new technologies on construction; urban real estate values; and the field of "telematics," the combination of computers and telecommunications that makes money machines and national newspapers possible.

Book Description
This book describes the fundamentals of particle detectors as well as their applications. Detector development is an important part of nuclear, particle and astroparticle physics, and through its applications in radiation imaging, it paves the way for advancements in the biomedical and materials sciences. Knowledge in detector physics is one of the required skills of an experimental physicist in these fields. The breadth of knowledge required for detector development comprises many areas of physics and technology, starting from interactions of particles with matter, gas- and solid-state physics, over charge transport and signal development, to elements of microelectronics. The book's aim is to describe the fundamentals of detectors and their different variants and implementations as clearly as possible and as deeply as needed for a thorough understanding. While this comprehensive opus contains all the materials taught in experimental particle physics lectures or modules addressing detector physics at the Master's level, it also goes well beyond these basic requirements. This is an essential text for students who want to deepen their knowledge in this field. It is also a highly useful guide for lecturers and scientists looking for a starting point for detector development work.

Book Description
After a historical consideration of the types and evolution of accelerators the physics of particle beams is provided in detail. Topics dealt with comprise linear and nonlinear beam dynamics, collective phenomena in beams, and interactions of beams with the surroundings. The design and principles of synchrotrons, circular and linear colliders, and of linear accelerators are discussed next. Also technological aspects of accelerators (magnets, RF cavities, cryogenics, power supply, vacuum, beam instrumentation, injection and extraction) are reviewed, as well as accelerator operation (parameter control, beam feedback system, orbit correction, luminosity optimization). After introducing the largest accelerators and colliders of their times the application of accelerators and storage rings in industry, medicine, basic science, and energy research is discussed, including also synchrotron radiation sources and spallation sources. Finally, cosmic accelerators and an outlook for the future are given.
