The stability of non-linear Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA) model developed in [1] was tested. The area of the stable region in transverse coordinates and the maximum attainable tune spread were found as a function of non-linear lens strength. Particle loss as a function of turn number was analyzed to determine whether a dynamic aperture limitation present in the system. The system wa...

During the past several years, there has been tremendous progress on the development of the RF system and accelerating structures for a Next Linear Collider (NLC). Developments include high-power klystrons, RF pulse compression systems and damped/detuned accelerator structures to reduce wakefields. In order to integrate these separate development efforts into an actual X-band accelerator capabl...

Technological inventions and developments have created new possibilities and breakthroughs in medical era. The classic example is the discovery of X-rays by W.C. Roentgen, one hundred years ago. The first dawning rays appeared quite literally just before the beginning of the 20th century. In 1895 a German physicist named Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen accidentally discovered a form of radiation that c...

In April 1957, Stanfc:rd University proposed the construction of a two-mile long linear electron accelerator capable of accelerating electrons to energies of 10 to 20 CeV for use in physics research. Congressional authorization for this machine was given in September 1961, and construction of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) started in July 1962 on 480 acres of land near Stanford U...
