Crab crossing in a gamma-gamma collider
The crabbing of an incident photon beam from a laser, and the electron beam with which it interacts at the conversion point, is shown to have the same efficiency as in head-on Compton scattering, but with the advantages of a crossing geometry. The resulting {gamma}-ray beam is also crabbed, which allows for a crossing collision point, while maintaining the luminosity at the same value it would have in a head-on collision.

Crossing angles in the beam-beam interaction
Many storage ring colliders are being designed to reach high luminosity through the use of a large number of closely spaced bunches. This introduces a potential problem of parasitic collisions near the interaction point, but these parasitic collisions can be avoided by having the beams cross at an angle rather than head-on. The contributions to the tune shifts and the beam-beam resonances introduced by a crossing angle are analyzed in this paper.

Luminosity of continuous beams with crossing angle
Since it appears difficult to reach a luminosity of even 10/sup 32/ cm/sup -2/ sec/sup -1/ with (p, anti p) in a single ring if the number of events per bunch collision should not exceed unity, it seems appropriate to ask what could be done with two continuous beams in independent rings, ISR style. This subject was treated at some length in the first ICFA report by Keil and King, based on an optimization procedure developed earlier by Keil. In this note, a different approach is taken by considering the length of the interaction diamond and the luminosity to be of primary importance and relating the other parameters to them.

Experimental study of crossing angle collision
The non-linear coupling due to the beam-beam interaction with crossing angle has been studied. The major effect of a small ({approximately}12mrad) crossing angle is to excite 5Q{sub x}{plus_minus}Q{sub s}=integer coupling resonance family on large amplitude particles, which results in bad lifetime. On the CESR, a small crossing angle ({approximately}2.4mr) was created at the IP and a reasonable beam-beam tune-shift was achieved. The decay rate of the beam is measured as a function of horizontal tune with and without crossing angle. The theoretical analysis, simulation and experimental measurements have a good agreement. The resonance strength as a function of crossing angle is also measured.

Caution -- Beam Crossing Ahead
There are times when a laser beam needs to cross between tables or even go from one room to another. This presents an interesting traffic-flow and safety challenge to both the laser safety officer and laser user. Fortunately it is a challenge that has several solutions But the simplest solution may not be the best one. For example, the simplest way to get a beam from one optical table to another is just to put a sturdy tube around it. That's a permanent solution, and it completely contains the laser beam. While this is laser safe, there can be egress issues if it blocks a walkway. One comment this author often hears is, 'We can just duck under the tube.' The fire marshal, as well as the laser safety officer, might have issues with this. Especially in the case of a darkened lab, a blocked walkway can present a hazard of its own. One good solution is to transport the beam from Point A to Point B through a fiberoptic cable, when that is possible. One should easily be able to run the fiber up and over any walkway or down through a conduit on the floor. An important concern …

Energy scaling, crab crossing and the pair problem
Making reasonable assumptions, the luminosities of linear colliders are calculated for center-of-mass energies of 10 GeV, 100 GeV and 1 TeV. A calculation is also mode for a 1/2 TeV collider that could be upgraded to 1 TeV later. The improvements possible using ''crab-like'' crossing are also given. 4 refs., 4 figs., 3 tabs.

Luminosity Optimization With Offset, Crossing Angle, and Distortion
In a linear collider, sources of beam jitter due to kicker noise, quadrupole vibration and long-range transverse wakefields will lead to beam offsets and tilts at the Intersection Point (IP). In addition, sources of emittance dilution such as short-range transverse wakefields or dispersive errors will lead to internal beam distortions. When the IP disruption parameter is large, these beam imperfections will be amplified by a single bunch kink instability which will lead to luminosity loss. In this paper, we study the luminosity loss and then the optimization required to partially cancel the luminosity loss both analytically and with direct simulation.

Parasitic crossing at an asymmetric B factory, APIARY
Effects of parasitic crossings ( near miss'' collisions of two counter-rotating beams at unwanted positions near the IP) are studied in terms of computer simulations for an asymmetric B Factory, APIARY- 6.3d. Beams are separated horizontally at the first parasitic crossing points by about 7.6 times the horizontal rms size of the low energy beam (the larger in size of the two beams), {sigma}{sub 0x,+}. Simulations, including both the beam collision at the IP and parasitic crossings, have been performed for different separation distances, d. It is found that the ratio d/{sigma}{sub 0x,+} is a good scaling parameter of beam blowup behavior. The results show that beam blowup due to the parasitic crossings is diminished for d {ge} 7{sigma}{sub 0x,+}, in agreement with the bunch separation experiment at CESR. Thus, the nominal separation 7.6 {sigma}{sub 0x,+} turns out to be acceptable, but with only a small margin. Some methods to mitigate the effects of the parasitic crossings are discussed. 3 refs. , 5 figs., 2 tabs.

Detection of illegal border crossing, a pattern recognition approach
This report describes a new algorithm developed for the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) in support of the INSENS project for classifying vehicles and pedestrians using seismic data. This algorithm is less sensitive to nuisance alarms due to environmental events than the previous algorithm. Furthermore, the algorithm is simple enough that it scan be; implemented in the 8-bit microprocessor used in the INSENS system.

CROSSING OF AN INCOHERENT INTEGRAL RESONANCE IN THE ELECTRON RING ACCELERATOR
In one mode of operation of an electron ring accelerator (ERA), at the end of compression rings are slowly moved through the radial integral betatron resonance Q{sub r} = 1. Although the coherent radial oscillation frequency of the ring as a whole remains below unit, the oscillation frequencies of individual electron are (incoherently) caused to pass through the resonance because of the additional focusing from ions trapped in the ring. In this paper the effect of field errors on ring major and minor radii is evaluated--theoretically--for the cases in which the spread in the square of the electron oscillation frequency ({Delta}{sup 2}) is (a) much larger and (b) much smaller than the contribution to the square of the oscillation frequency from the ions ({Lambda}{sup 2}). It is shown that for the ERA, where case (b) applies, the increase in ring minor dimensions, for given field errors and rate of resonance crossing, is less than in case (a) by a factor of ({Delta}/{Lambda}){sup 2}. Numerical examples show that the degradation of ring quality in case (b) should, with suitable attention to the design and construction of the ERA apparatus, be acceptably small.

ILC Extraction Line for 14 mrad Crossing Angle
The earlier studies of the ILC extraction line for 20 mrad and 2 mrad crossing angle options [1]-[5] showed that the 20 mrad design has an advantage of a simpler beamline and lower extraction beam loss because of the independent incoming and extraction optics. However, the large 20 mrad crossing angle requires the use of a crab cavity correction, increases synchrotron radiation emittance growth in the solenoid, and increases photon backscattering from the forward calorimeter of the detector. To reduce these effects, an attempt has been made to minimize the crossing angle while keeping the extraction and incoming lines separate. A new quadrupole scheme near the interaction point has been proposed which allows a reduction of the crossing angle to 14 mrad [6]. The optics design and results of tracking and background simulations for the 14 mrad extraction line are presented.

The 2mrad horizontal crossing angle IR layout for a TeV ILC
The current status of the 2mrad crossing angle layout for the ILC is reviewed. The scheme developed in the UK and France is described and the performance discussed for a TeV machine. Secondly, the scheme developed at SLAC and BNL is then studied and modified for a TeV machine. We find that both schemes can handle the higher energy beam with modifications, and share many common features.

Unified Model of Dynamic Forced Barrier Crossing in Single Molecules
Thermally activated barrier crossing in the presence of an increasing load can reveal kinetic rate constants and energy barrier parameters when repeated over a range of loading rates. Here we derive a model of the mean escape force for all relevant loading rates--the complete force spectrum. Two well-known approximations emerge as limiting cases; one of which confirms predictions that single-barrier spectra should converge to a phenomenological description in the slow loading limit.

Design of Ilc Extraction Line for 20 Mrad Crossing Angle
One of the two ILC Interaction Regions will have a large horizontal crossing angle which would allow to extract the spent beams in a separate beam line. In this paper, the extraction line design for 20 mrad crossing angle is presented. This beam line transports the primary e{sup +}/e{sup -} and beamstrahlung photon beams from the IP to a common dump, and includes diagnostic section for energy and polarization measurements. The optics is designed for a large energy acceptance to minimize losses in the low energy tail of the disrupted beam. The extraction optics, diagnostic instrumentation and particle tracking simulations are described.

The 2mrad Crossing Angle Interaction Region and Extraction Line
A complete optics design for the 2mrad crossing angle interaction region and extraction line was presented at Snowmass 2005. Since this time, the design task force has been working on developing and improving the performance of the extraction line. The work has focused on optimizing the final doublet parameters and on reducing the power losses resulting from the disrupted beam transport. In this paper, the most recent status of the 2mrad layout and the corresponding performance are presented.

Keck Observations of the 2002-2003 Jovian Ring Plane Crossing
We present new observations of Jupiter's ring system at a wavelength of 2.2 {micro}m obtained with the 10-m W. M. Keck telescopes on three nights during a ring plane crossing: UT 19 December 2002, and 22 and 26 January 2003. We used conventional imaging, plus adaptive optics on the last night. Here we present detailed radial profiles of the main ring, halo and gossamer rings, and interpret the data together with information extracted from radio observations of Jupiter's synchrotron radiation. The main ring is confined to a 800-km-wide annulus between 128,200 and 129,000 km, with a {approx} 5000 km extension on the inside. The normal optical depth is 8 x 10{sup -6}, 15% of which is provided by bodies with radii a {approx}> 5 cm. These bodies are as red as Metis. Half the optical depth, {tau} {approx} 4 x 10{sup -6}, is attributed to micron-sized dust, and the remaining {tau} {approx} 3 x 10{sup -6} to grains tens to hundreds of {micro}m in size. The inward extension consists of micron-sized (a {approx}< 10 {micro}m) dust, which probably migrates inward under Poynting-Robertson drag. The inner limit of this extension falls near the 3:2 Lorentz resonance (at orbital radius r = …

Beam-Beam Scans Within a Linear Collider Bunch-Train Crossing
Beam-beam deflection scans provide important beam diagnostics at the interaction point of a linear collider. Beam properties such as spot sizes, alignment, and waists are measured by sweeping one beam across the other. Proposed linear colliders use trains of bunches; if beam-beam scans can be done within the time of a bunch-train crossing rather than integrating over the bunch train, the acquisition rate of diagnostic information can be increased and the sensitivity of the scan to pulse-to-pulse jitter and slow drifts reduced. The existence of intra-train deflection feedback provides most of the hardware needed to implement intra-train beam-beam scans for diagnostic purposes. A conceptual design is presented for such beam-beam scans at the Next Linear Collider (NLC).

Crossing angle collision and lifetime: Simulations, analysis, measurements and more simulations
To achieve the high luminosity required by heavy quark factories, multibunch operation is almost the only choice. The key to gain luminosity in multibunch operation is to reduce the bunch spacing. Therefore, colliding beams with a crossing angle becomes the favorite interaction region scheme. The introduction of a crossing angle in e{sup +}e{sup {minus}} colliders causes non-linear coupling between horizontal motion and longitudinal motion. This is illustrated in Figure 1. The beam-beam kick occurs when the particle passes the center of the opposing bunch. The strength of the kick, {Delta}r{prime} = F(r), is a nonlinear function of the distance, r, between the particle and the center of the opposite bunch. In head-on collisions, r is the transverse displacement, and the kick is in the transverse plane, so that the process is nonlinear but not influenced by the longitudinal motion. In collisions with a crossing angle, however, r is a function of longitudinal displacement, s, and the crossing angle, F, as well as transverse displacement. The distance r between the test particle and the bunch center can be written.
