The Stanford Linear Collider was designed to operate with round beams [ 11; horizontal and vertical emittance made equal hi the damping rings. The main motivation was to facilitate the optical matching through beam lines with strong coupling elements like the solenoid spin rotator magnets and the SLC ales. Tests in 1992 showed that ‘flat’ beams with a vertical to horizontal emittance ratio of a...

Secondary lymphoid organ chemokine (SLC) is expressed in high endothelial venules and in T cell zones of spleen and lymph nodes (LNs) and strongly attracts naive T cells. In mice homozygous for the paucity of lymph node T cell (plt) mutation, naive T cells fail to home to LNs or the lymphoid regions of spleen. Here we demonstrate that expression of SLC is undetectable in plt mice. In addition t...

The SLAC Linear Collider (SLC) is the prototype e+elinear collider. This talk will consist of an introduction to SLC, a description of the strategy for luminosity, a description of the systems for the transport and measurement of the polarized electroqt and a description of the present performance of the SLC and planned upgrades. The detector, SLD, and the status of the polarization asymmetry m...

Due to various upstream beam manipulations, the longitudinal bunch shape at the interaction point of the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC) is highly non-Gaussian. In this paper, we report beam-beam simulations with realistic longitudinal bunch shapes for the present SLC parameters and for the SLC-2000 luminosity upgrade. The simulation results allow us to estimate the luminosity enhancement due to...

The SLAC Controls Department has interfaced IBMCompatible PCs to the SLC Control System, for use by the Final Focus Test Beam (FFTB) experimenters, who are building new accelerator equipment and developing and testing it at their home institutions. They will bring the equipment.to SLAC and integrate it into the control system using a new software package. The machine physicists and operators wi...

Removal of seminal plasma facilitates stallion sperm survival during storage, but washing may damage chromatin. Therefore, quality was compared in samples following single-layer centrifugation (SLC) or and controls (extension only) two extenders, INRA82 INRA96. Ejaculates from six stallions were split among treatments: SLC, washing, controls, Sperm motility acrosome status evaluated at 0, 24, 4...

Since its inception in the early 1980's, the SLC Control System has been driven by a highly structured memory-resident real-time database. While efficient, its rigid structure and file-based sources makes it difficult to maintain and extract relevant information. The goal of transforming the sources for this database into a relational form is to enable it to be part of a Control System Enterpri...

The genes involved in the regulation of cellular sodium transport characteristics, which are correlated with some forms of essential hypertension, have not yet been identified. We are studying the genes and environmental factors that affect red blood cell sodium-lithium countertransport (SLC) activity and intracellular sodium (ICNa) concentration in 634 baboons that comprise 11 pedigrees of 2 a...

Intestinal epithelial cells from 19-day-old rat fetuses underwent electropermeabilization and were successfully transfected by three recombinant plasmids containing the cloned oncogenes from the human adenovirus type 2 early region E1A (SLC-11 cells) and polyoma virus and simian virus 40 large T tumor antigens (SLC-21 and SLC-41 cells). SLC-11 cells were propagated for 21 months in culture (cur...
