The US-LHC Magnet Database is designed for productionmagnet quality assurance, field and alignment error impact analysis, cryostat assembly assistance, and ring installation assistance. The database consists of tables designed to store magnet field and alignment measurements data and quench data. This information will also be essential for future machine operations including local IR corrections.

We represent the design details of a 4-m long undulator in cryostat having a period ~12mm and aperture ~6.35 mm allowing K~1.0. This undulator can be used in ILC positron conversion system as well as the insertion device for developing FEL systems.

Measurements of speed of sound and internal friction of a-SiO2 were extended down to <4 mK ssample temperatured in a cryostat shielded with lead against g radiation. We conclude that the sample starts to thermally decouple below 8 mK primarily due to internal heat release. Down to 10 mK, the speed of sound is shown to be compatible with the predictions of the tunneling model, with no evidence s...

AIMS To investigate the effects of fixation on the immunohistochemical demonstration of c-erbB-2 oncoprotein using paraffin wax and cryostat sections; to compare c-erbB-2 expression in non-neoplastic and neoplastic gastric tissues. METHODS Adjacent blocks of tumour and non-neoplastic tissue from four gastrectomy specimens were put into a panel of 10 fixatives including acetone, B5, Bouin's fl...

Plans for the next generation of electron-positron colliders (B-factories and B-factory-like machines) call for high beam currents to produce luminosities of the order of 1033. To store these high currents in a machine, special attention must be paid to the interaction of the beam with discontinuities in the surrounding vacuum chamber. RF cavities are among the biggest perturbations in accelera...
