Observation of Radial Ring Deformations using Closed Orbits at LEP
نویسنده
چکیده
With a circumference of 26.7 km the LEP ring is subject to long range geological deformations which must be monitored accurately to guarantee a sufficient precision on the beam energy for the LEP experiments. Changes of the LEP circumference can be extracted from the radial position of the closed orbits with an accuracy better than 0.1 mm. The observed tidal deformations with amplitudes of up to 1 mm were found to be in good agreement with geological models. Besides such periodic effects seasonal circumference variations of 2 mm are also observed. A summary of measurements collected between 1993 and 1998 is presented.

Fuzzy Sliding Mode for Spacecraft Formation Control in Eccentric Orbits
The problem of relative motion control for spacecraft formation flying in eccentric orbits is considered in this paper. Due to the presence of nonlinear dynamics and external disturbances, a robust fuzzy sliding mode controller is developed. The slopes of sliding surfaces of the conventional sliding mode controller are tuned according to error states using a fuzzy logic and reach the pre-define...
متن کاملAnother Flattened Dark Halo: Polar Ring Galaxy A01360801
Knowledge of the shape of dark matter halos is critical to our understanding of galaxy formation, dynamics, and of the nature of dark matter itself. Polar ring galaxies (PRGs) | early-type galaxies deened by their outer rings of gas, dust and stars on orbits nearly perpendicular to those of the central host | provide a rare probe of the vertical-to-radial axis ratio (q = c=a) of dark halos. We ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Annual Ring Orientation and Drying Method on Deformations, Casehardening and Colour of Silver Birch (Betula pendula) Boards
Deformations of timber, caused mainly by anisotropic shrinkage, can be partially directed by controlling annual ring orientation through different sawing patterns. Ring orientation also affects the movement of water from within the board to its surface, with rapidity of drying having implications for the wood colour. Here sawn silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) timber was classed into two group...
متن کاملKUNS 1285 Periodic Orbits and New Shell Structure Generated by a Combination of Quadrupole and Octupole Deformations
In this talk, we would like to present a simple model in which a prominent shell structure emerges for a combination of quadrupole and octupole deformations. We shall then discuss the origin of such a new shell structure in terms of the periodic orbits and their bifurcations. Importance of shell effects for the occurrence of reflection-asymmetric deformed shapes have been lively discussed in va...
متن کاملThe three-dimensional structure of Saturn’s E ring
Saturn’s diffuse E ring consists of many tiny (micron and sub-micron) grains of water ice distributed between the orbits of Mimas and Titan. Various gravitational and non-gravitational forces perturb these particles’ orbits, causing the ring’s local particle density to vary noticeably with distance from the planet, height above the ring-plane, hour angle and time. Using remote-sensing data obta...
