We measure the response and thermal motion of a high-Q nanomechanical oscillator coupled to a superconducting microwave cavity in the resolved-sideband regime where the oscillator's resonance frequency exceeds the cavity's linewidth. The coupling between the microwave field and mechanical motion is strong enough for radiation pressure to overwhelm the intrinsic mechanical damping. This radiatio...

A long wiggler section is required in each ILC damping ring to provide short radiation damping times. Synchrotron radiation (SR) generated by the beam in the wigglers must be absorbed by different components of the vacuum vessel, including specially designed absorbers. The optimisation of the mechanical design, vacuum system and electron cloud mitigation requires accurate calculation of the SR ...

The long term nonlinear dynamics of a Keplerian binary system under the combined influences of gravitational radiation damping and external tidal perturbations is analyzed. Gravitational radiation reaction leads the binary system towards eventual collapse, while the external periodic perturbations could lead to the ionization of the system via Arnold diffusion. When these two opposing tendencie...

Radiation damping and quantum excitation in an electron damping ring and a straight focusing channel are reviewed. They are found to be the two limiting cases in the study of a general bending and focusing combined system. In the intermediate regime where the radiation formation length is comparable to the betatron wavelength, quantum excitation can be exponentially suppressed by focusing field...

A semi-classical formalism is used to calculate the radiation reaction of a relativistic particle in a straight, continuous focusing system. Due to the absence of quantum excitation in such a fo-cusing system, the radiation damping rate of the transverse action obtained using this formalism agrees exactly with the result from the classical Lorentz-Dirac radiation reaction equation. In the limit...

The· reaction of radiation on the scattering of electrons with radiative corrections is treated on the basis of covariant theory of radiation damping. It is shown that the ultra-violet divergences are removed by the process of usual mass. and charge renormalisations; and the infra-red divergence, which still persists in the second order corrections to radiationless electron scattering is exactl...

We show that the radiation damping rate of the transverse action of a particle in a straight, continuous focusing system is independent of the particle energy, and that no quantum excitation is induced. This absolute damping eeect leads to the existence of a transverse ground state which the particle inevitably decays to, and yields the minimum beam emittance that one can ever attain, min = ~=2...

In this paper we calculate the eeects of a linearly varying focusing eld on radiation damping and quantum excitation to the transverse emittances in an electron storage ring by using a quantum mechanical perturbation approach. This method allows for arbitrarily strong focusing environment and correctly predicts the limits of both pure bending and pure focusing. We nd that transverse excitation ...
