Present status and first results of the final focus beam line at the KEK Accelerator Test Facility
ATF2 is a final-focus test beam line which aims to focus the low emittance beam from the ATF damping ring to a vertical size of about 37 nm and to demonstrate nanometer level beam stability. Several advanced beam diagnostics and feedback tools are used. In December 2008, construction and installation were completed and beam commissioning started, supported by an international team of Asian, European, and U.S. scientists. The present status and first results are described.
Magnetic dipole moments near 132Sn: new measurement on 135I by NMR/ON
Abstract On-line low temperature nuclear orientation (OLNO) experiments have been performed on the isotope 135 I using the technique of nuclear magnetic resonance on oriented nuclei (NMR/ON). The magnetic moment of the 7 2 + ground state has been measured to be μ( 7 2 + 135 I ) = 2.940(2) μ N , thereby extending the known data on these states in odd- A I isotopes up to the neutron shell closure at N = 82. Shell-model calculations have been performed for the magnetic moments of 7 2 + states in the N = 82 isotones using free-nucleon and effective g -factors. The effective g -factors are obtained from a perturbation calculation that includes corrections for core polarisation and meson-exchange…
VISTA Milky Way Public Survey
We propose a public IR variability survey, named \Vista Variables in the Vía Láctea" (V V V ), of the Milky Way bulge and an adjacent section of the mid-plane where star formation activity is high. This would take 1920 hours, covering ~ 109 point sources within an area of 520 sq deg, including 33 known globular clusters and ~ 350 open clusters. The final products will be a deep IR atlas in 5 passbands and a catalogue of ~ 106 variable point sources. These will produce a 3-D map of the surveyed region (unlike single-epoch surveys that only give 2-D maps) using well-understood primary distance indicators such as RR Lyrae stars. It will yield important information on the ages of the population…
