Accelerating cavities exchange HOM power through interconnecting beam pipes in case of signal frequencies above the cut-off of their propagating waveguide modes. This may lead either to improved HOM damping or - in the case most severe - to unwanted phase coherence of fields to the beam. Therefore the knowledge of the scattering properties of a cavity as a line element is needed to analyse all kinds of RF cavity-cavity interaction. Since there is a lack of measurement tools capable to provide a multidimensional scattering matrix at a given frequency point, we have been developing a method for this purpose. It uses a set of 2-port S-parameters of the device under test, embedded in a number of geometrically different RF environments. The application of the method is demonstrated with copper models of TESLA cavities.
A new method for the determination of S-matrices of devices in multimoded waveguides and first experimental experiences are presented. The theoretical foundations are given. The scattering matrix of a TESLA copper cavity at a frequency above the cut-off of the second waveguide mode has been measured.
The effect of a single HOM-damper cell within a channel of undamped cells is described theoretically using an equivalent circuit model. From this a simple equation can be derived which relates the Q-value of the single damping-cell, the bandwidth of the passband under consideration, and the additional phase shift which is introduced by the damper cell to provide energy flow into the damper cell. This equation immediately shows the limitations of such single cell damping systems. Comparisons with experimental results are shown.
By replacing the irises in an electron linac by a slit one gets a structure capable of focussing/defocussing an electron beam (rf-quadrupoles). Therefore one can think of a combination of rf- and conventional magnetic quadrupoles for transversal focussing in linear-colliders. Furthermore they can meet the demands of BNS-damping without initial energy spread. Considering multibunch-operation of a collider, the long-range wake behaviour of this kind of structure has to be investigated. A three-cell structure has been built and investigated for dipole-type transversal long-range wakes. The experimental results are compared to numerical simulations done with MAFIA.
Mode propagation in an iris type accelerator section loaded with single heavily HOM-damped cells
(1994)
The wakefield effects in accelerator sections for future linear colliders will be reduced either by damping by detuning or by a combination of both. For the DESY/THD linac [1] it is forseen to employ heavily HOM-damped cells to provide a strong coupling to the TE/TM11-dipole passband as well as to the TM/TE11-dipole passband. For our experiments we have used wall-slotted damping cells. This leads to several problems concerning the propagation of fundamental and HOM-modes. Experimental investigations have been done. Results are presented.
To reach high luminosities in future linear colliders short range wakes havea to be controlled in the range of X-band frequencies or higher. Rectangular irises can be used to introduce strong focusing quadrupole-like rf-fields. Even circular irises in iris-loaded accelarator structures have the capability of focusing if the particle velocity differs from phase velocity. Theoretical investigations concerning the focusing strength to be expected are presented. Their applicability for linear colliders is discussed.
A new method for measuring quality factors in cavities is presented. This method is capable of measuring Q-factors in heavily damped as well as in undamped cavities. In addition, the possibility of separating overlapping modes and measuring their Q-factors is provided. Measurements on HOM (higher order mode) damped cavities for the DESY/THD linear collider project are presented
Rolf van Dick und Holger Horz haben in ihrem UniReport-Essay »Bestmögliche Bildung und Ausbildung für alle« gefordert und die Kritik von Hans Peter Klein und Julian Nida-Rümelin am aktuellen Akademisierungswahn scharf zurückgewiesen. Nida-Rümelin und Klein antworten nun im Gespräch gemeinsam auf die zentralen Thesen von van Dick und Horz.
Objective: We aimed to estimate the incidence of cerebral sinus and venous thrombosis (CVT) within 1 month from first dose administration and the frequency of vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) as the underlying mechanism after vaccination with BNT162b2, ChAdOx1, and mRNA-1273, in Germany. Methods: A web-based questionnaire was e-mailed to all departments of neurology. We requested a report of cases of CVT occurring within 1 month of a COVID-19 vaccination. Other cerebral events could also be reported. Incidence rates of CVT were calculated by using official statistics of 9 German states. Results: A total of 45 CVT cases were reported. In addition, 9 primary ischemic strokes, 4 primary intracerebral hemorrhages, and 4 other neurological events were recorded. Of the CVT patients, 35 (77.8%) were female, and 36 (80.0%) were younger than 60 years. Fifty-three events were observed after vaccination with ChAdOx1 (85.5%), 9 after BNT162b2 (14.5%) vaccination, and none after mRNA-1273 vaccination. After 7,126,434 first vaccine doses, the incidence rate of CVT within 1 month from first dose administration was 0.55 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.38–0.78) per 100,000 person-months (which corresponds to a risk of CVT within the first 31 days of 0.55 per 100,000 individuals) for all vaccines and 1.52 (95% CI = 1.00–2.21) for ChAdOx1 (after 2,320,535 ChAdOx1 first doses). The adjusted incidence rate ratio was 9.68 (95% CI = 3.46–34.98) for ChAdOx1 compared to mRNA-based vaccines and 3.14 (95% CI = 1.22–10.65) for females compared to non-females. In 26 of 45 patients with CVT (57.8%), VITT was graded highly probable. Interpretation: Given an incidence of 0.02 to 0.15 per 100,000 person-months for CVT in the general population, these findings point toward a higher risk for CVT after ChAdOx1 vaccination, especially for women.
Die Paläoanthropologie beschäftigt sich mit der Erforschung der Ursprünge und der Evolution des Menschen. Die Vermittlung dieser Forschungsergebnisse in deutschen Schulen stellt eine wichtige Aufgabe dar und ist curricularer Bestandteil der Sekundarstufe I und II. Ein zentrales Anliegen des »Hominids for Schools«-Projekts ist es, die Vermittlung dieses Wissens nicht nur in Deutschland zu fördern, sondern auch dort, wo die Menschheitsgeschichte begann – in Afrika, der Wiege der Menschheit. Doch ein Schädelabguss allein bereichert noch nicht den Biologie- oder Evolutionsunterricht. Gefragt sind fachdidaktische Konzepte, die Schülern die neuesten Forschungsergebnisse inhaltlich näher bringen und buchstäblich begreifbar machen. An dieser Stelle ist die Kooperation zwischen Fachwissenschaft und Fachdidaktik unverzichtbar. Der vom Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg und dem Institut für Didaktik der Biowissenschaften gemeinsam entwickelte Lernkoffer ist ein Beispiel für fruchtbare Entwicklungsforschung, die zu den grundlegenden Aufgaben einer inhaltsorientierten Fachdidaktik gehört. Ausgangspunkt für das »Hominids for Schools«-Projekt war die Idee des Paläoanthropologen Prof. Dr. Friedemann Schrenk vom Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg, die Bildung in Afrika zu fördern und einen interkulturellen Dialog zwischen deutschen und afrikanischen Partnerschulen anzuregen. Als Basis dienen Fossilien von Hominiden, die zu den ältesten Vorfahren des heutigen Menschen gezählt werden, und zwar Nachbildungen eines Schädels und eines Unterkiefers. Der Schädel gehört zu dem in Kenia gefundenen Turkana Boy, einem Homo erectus. Der Unterkiefer ist einem Homo rudolfensis zuzuordnen. Er stammt aus Malawi und stellt mit einem Alter von 2,5 Millionen Jahren das älteste Fundstück der Gattung Homo dar: UR 501 – so die Katalognummer des fossilen Urahns [siehe auch Stefanie Müller »Wissenschaftsvermittlung in der Wiede der Menschheit«, Forschung Frankfurt 2 – 3/2006]. Friedemann Schrenk, der seit über 20 Jahren auf dem afrikanischen Kontinent nach den Überresten unserer Vorfahren gräbt, fand mit seinem Team 1992 den Unterkiefer in Malawi. Der von Schrenk gegründete Verein »Uraha Foundation Germany « setzt sich für die Förderung von Wissenschaft und Forschung in und über Afrika ein. Im Rahmen des »Hominids for Schools«-Programms können deutsche Schulen über den Erwerb von Abgüssen zusätzliche Kopien für afrikanische Partnerschulen mitfinanzieren. In dem Beitrag von 150 Euro für einen Abguss des Unterkiefers von UR 501 sowie 350 Euro für den Abguss des Schädels des Turkana Boy ist die kostenlose Lieferung weiterer Abgüsse an zwei afrikanische Partnerschulen enthalten. Diese verfügen aufgrund eingeschränkter finanzieller Mittel nicht über die Möglichkeit, das Material selbst zu erwerben. Gerade die Lehr- und Lernmaterialausstattung ist an vielen afrikanischen Schulen, besonders in ländlichen Gebieten, mehr schlecht als recht. ...
A linearly polarized photon can be quantized from the Lorentz-boosted electromagnetic field of a nucleus traveling at ultrarelativistic speed. When two relativistic heavy nuclei pass one another at a distance of a few nuclear radii, the photon from one nucleus may interact through a virtual quark-antiquark pair with gluons from the other nucleus, forming a short-lived vector meson (e.g., ρ0). In this experiment, the polarization was used in diffractive photoproduction to observe a unique spin interference pattern in the angular distribution of ρ0 → π+π− decays. The observed interference is a result of an overlap of two wave functions at a distance an order of magnitude larger than the ρ0 travel distance within its lifetime. The strong-interaction nuclear radii were extracted from these diffractive interactions and found to be 6.53 ± 0.06 fm (197Au) and 7.29 ± 0.08 fm (238U), larger than the nuclear charge radii. The observable is demonstrated to be sensitive to the nuclear geometry and quantum interference of nonidentical particles. Polarized photon-gluon fusion reveals quantum wave interference of non-identical particles and shape of high-energy nuclei.
