The future Compact LInear particle Collider (CLIC) under study at CERN will require to stabilize heavy electromagnets, and also to provide them some positioning capabilities. Firstly, this paper presents the concept adopted to address both requirements. Secondly, the control strategy adopted for the stabilization is studied numerically, showing that the quadrupole can be stabilized in both late...

We demonstrate a lab-on-a-chip that combines micro/nano-fabricated features with a Convex Lens-Induced Confinement (CLIC) device for the in situ analysis of single cells. A complete cycle of single cell analysis was achieved that includes: cell trapping, cell isolation, lysis, protein digestion, genomic DNA extraction and on-chip genomic DNA linearization. The ability to dynamically alter the f...

Traditional caching policies are known to perform poorly for storage server caches. One promising approach to solving this problem is to use hints from the storage clients to manage the storage server cache. Previous hinting approaches are ad hoc, in that a predefined reaction to specific types of hints is hard-coded into the caching policy. With ad hoc approaches, it is difficult to ensure tha...

For the search for charginos and neutralinos in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) as well as for future precision analyses of these particles an accurate knowledge of their production and decay properties is mandatory. We evaluate the cross sections for the chargino and neutralino production at e+e− colliders in the MSSM with complex parameters (cMSSM). The evaluation is based on...

We summarize the formalism of collimator wakefields and their effect on beams that are near the center of the collimator gap, and apply the formalism to the TESLA, NLC, and CLIC collimation systems. Collimator Wakefield Calculations for ILC-TRC Report

The aim of the future linear colliders is to extend the sensitivity to new physics beyond the reach of the Lhc. Several models predict the existence of new vector resonances in the multi-TeV region. We review the existing limits on the masses of these new resonances from Lep/Slc and Tevatron data and from the atomic parity violation measurements, in some specific models. We study the potential ...
