Massive Metrology: Development and Implementation of a 3D Reference Frame for the Realignment of Fermilab's Tevatron
9th International Workshop on Accelerator Alignment, September 26-29, 2006 Massive Metrology: Development and Implementation of a 3D Reference Frame for the Realignment of Fermilab's Tevatron John A. Greenwood and George J. Wojcik Particle Physics Division: Alignment and Metrology Group Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Batavia, Illinois, USA The authors of this paper will discuss the project known as TeVnet. TeVnet is a combined horizontal and vertical survey network that was developed to provide spatial control for the three key machines of the Fermilab accelerator complex – Tevatron, Main Injector, and Anti-Proton source. This paper focuses on the survey network design, observation, and analysis, of an effort with the objective of increased performance and reliability of the accelerator complex by ensuring spatially correct placement of the beam-line components. 1. INTRODUCTION After a series of upgrades, the performance and reliability of the Tevatron, a 6.3-km circumference, (see Pictures 1 and Picture 2) one trillion electron-volt proton and antiproton accelerator, was well below expectations. It had long been suspected that the Murphy Line system, the current alignment method, was not capable of ensuring a reliable orbit at increased energy levels. The solution was the use of modern metrology methods and instrumentation for the alignment of the Tevatron. This paper introduces the concept of combining networks measured using different methods of surveying to develop the metrology for TeVnet, network design configuration alternatives, and observational procedures used to accomplish the network measurements, along with the simultaneous determination of the existing position of more than 1000 components of the Tevatron machine. -

An Introduction to the Quark Model Arxiv:1205.4326V2 [Hep-Ph]
An introduction to the quark model Jean-Marc Richard Université de Lyon & Institut de Physique Nucléaire de Lyon IN2P3-CNRS & UCB, 4 rue Enrico Fermi, 69622 Villeurbanne, France [email protected] May 25, 2012 Abstract This document contains a review on the quark model, prepared for lectures at the Niccolò Cabeo School at Ferrara in May 2012. It includes some historical aspects, the spectral properties of the 2-body and 3-body Schrödinger operators applied to mesons and baryons, the link between meson and baryon spectra, the role of flavour independence, and the speculations about stable or metastable multiquarks. The analogies between few-charge systems and few-quark bound states will be under- lined.

SOFT QCD LIGHT QUARK PHYSICS with CHROMODYNAMICS Nathan
247 SOFT QCD LIGHT QUARK PHYSICS WITH CHROMODYNAMICS Nathan Isgur Department of Physics University of Toronto Toronto, Canada MSS 1A7 The addition of dynamical ingredients suggested by QCD dramatically improves the ability of quark models to describe soft hadronic phenomena . This approach is discussed in terms of a particularly simple non-relativistic potential model which has been used to study the spectroscopy, decays, and static properties of baryons and mesons . The application of the model to such QCD exotica as multiquark states and glueballs is also mentioned. In addition, an attempt is made to at least partially rationalise the success of the model in terms of more fundamental physics. 248 I. Introduction to the Model Why Potential Models? A. The successes of quarkonium models for the cc and bb systems , based on a non-relativistic potential model with flavour and spin independent con finement and one gluon exchange, at least raise the question of where , as a function of quark mass, such models become useless. �he models I will discuss here are,in response to this question, based on an optimistic extension of the physics expected from QCD for heavy quark sys tems into the light quark domain . We shall see that the models not only provide a useful framework within which to describe the physics of such systems , but moreover that this extension has, at least at some level , been successful. The reasons for this success are only partly understood; a possible beginning for an interpretation is given below. While there are many possible variants, I will concentrate on the l,Z,3) version of such models that I know best It has three main ingredients: confinement , "point-like" constituent quarks, and one gluon exchange .
