Documents, Lectures and other talks
by John Jowett

This is a collection of links and references to documents written by me (either as principal author or as a co-author) that it is happens to be easy to make available on the Web. It is here for my personal reference but others are welcome to use it. There are also links to lists of older writings that are not available electronically.

20 March 1999: there are no longer any Postscript links here! And more older papers (some going back as far as 1985 ...) are now available in PDF format.

Lists from Library Databases

Library databases such as the CERN Scientific Information Service (in particular HEPDOC and Alice) can provide lists of my papers. The following links are to saved copies of such lists. In fact, I have never found one source that finds all of my writings so the following lists overlap and probably still don't include everything.

The pages from SPIRES at SLAC contain links to the text of some documents, usually in a scanned form, that can be found on various library servers.

A list of 25 recent papers and reports from SPIRES (saved 4/2/97)

Another 50 older papers and reports from SPIRES (saved 4/2/97)

A list from KISS at KEK with some links to scanned copies.

A l ist of recent SL Division documents (includes SL Divisional Reports, SL MD Notes, SL Notes, etc.written since around 1991). List compiled 12/5/97.

A list of older SL and LEP Division documents (includes older LEP Notes, LEP Theory Notes, etc. up to around 1991).

Workshop contributions

Here are a few recent contributions (the format is indicated in green where it is not HTML):

Beam Dynamics at LEP was my plenary talk at the 14th Advanced ICFA Beam Dynamics Workshop on Beam Dynamics Issues for e+e- Factories, Frascati, Italy, 20-25 October 1997. This shows you the transparencies only. The formal writeup from CERN library. contains more text but fewer pictures.
Experience with a 108/90 Optics in 1997and Vertical Beamsize (and other calculations) in Various Optics are my contributions to the 8th LEP Performance Workshop, held in Chamonix, France, January 1997.
Non-linear Resonances: Predictions, Effects and Measurements (PDF)

is my contribution to the 7th LEP Performance Workshop, held in Chamonix, France, January 1997. Related SL Note/97-41 (PDF) or Mathematica 3.0 notebook.

LEP Optics with 108/90 Phase Advance (PDF) and
Expected Problems from RF Asymmetries (PDF)

are my contributions to the 6th LEP Performance Workshop, held in Chamonix, January 1996.

Dynamic Aperture for LEP: physics and calculations (3.7 B PDF).

is essentially a contribution to the 4th LEP Performance Workshop, held in Chamonix, France, January 1994. It is a fairly didactic account of the radiation effects on dynamic aperture at high energy in LEP, with examples. Other contributions at that workshop

Horizontally separated encounters in the middle of the arcs(0.18 MB PDF).

More Bunches with Pretzel(0.25 MB PDF).

CERN Reports ("Yellow Reports")

These are mostly collective efforts where I was a member of a working group.

Physics at LEP2, 96-01_v1 is the report of a working group on physics prospects at LEP2.
Report of the Working Group on High Luminosities at LEP CERN 91-02.html is the report of the working group which studied the implementation of a pretzel scheme in LEP. The part related to the accelerator, edited by me, is CERN 91-02e.html ; you can read it from various scanned formats.
Polarization at LEP, CERN 88-06_v2.html is a report of a working group on the possibilities for polarization at LEP.
CERN 87-03 (CAS School, Oxford, UK, 1985) contains my lecture "Electron dynamics with radiation and nonlinear wigglers" but the text is not on WWW.
ECFA-CERN Workshop on Large Hadron Collider in the LEP Tunnel, CERN 84-10 is of historical interest.

Beam Physics Notes

This is a new series of unofficial notes circulated within our group, started in October 1998. Several of mine are connected with the

Madtomma applications for the LHC and are available from there.

Beam Physics Note 10, Effects of the sextupole configuration on the performance of the (102°,90°) optics in LEP

Technical notes

These are probably only of interest to people working here on LEP.

The dispfit.rex program: This is for fitting dispersion and orbits at the interaction points in LEP. This is the HTML version of CERN SL Note 95-76 (AP).
RF Voltage Distribution in LEP with MAD: A MAD utility for summarising the distribution of RF voltage around the LEP ring. This is the HTML version of CERN SL Note 96-29 (AP).
Beam Size, Emittance and Optical Functions in LEP, SL Note 96-38 (AP).: This is concerned with the relations between measured beam size and emittance in LEP

Miscellaneous

SL Performance Committee

I was secretary of the SL Performance Committee during 1994-95. Here is an archive of the notes of the meetings that I wrote during that time.
