20 T Dipole Magnet Based on Hybrid HTS/LTS Cos-Theta Coils with Stress Management
This paper presents the design concept of the dipole magnet with 50 mm aperture, 20 T nominal field and 13% margin based on a six-layer cos-theta (CT) hybrid coil design. Due to the high stresses and strains in the coil at high field, Stress Management (SM) elements are implemented in the CT coil geometry. The results of magnet magnetic analysis are presented and discussed. The key parameters of this design are compared with the parameters of similar magnets based on block-type and canted cos-theta coils.

Cos-theta Nb$_{3}$Sn Dipole for a Very Large Hadron Collider
A series of 1 m long Nb$_{3}$Sn dipole models with a magnetic field of 10–11 T in a 43.5 mm bore was developed at FNAL as part of a research and development effort for a Very Large Hadron Collider. This chapter describes the magnet design in single-aperture and twin-aperture configurations, details of the magnet short model fabrication, and summarizes the results of magnetic, mechanical, and quench protection analyses, and model test results.

Neutrino Dipole Moments and Radiative Signatures from Partial Compositeness
We investigate composite neutrino models where heavy neutrinos emerge as bound states from a near-conformal strongly coupled sector. Standard Model neutrinos mix with these composite singlets via an inverse seesaw mechanism, where the anomalous scaling dimensions of the composite-sector operators naturally suppress light neutrino masses to sub-eV scales. Matching the conformal dynamics onto low-energy theory yields enhanced electromagnetic transition dipole operators with couplings $d_{μN} \sim 10^{-6}$-$10^{-8}\,\mathrm{GeV}^{-1}$, parametrically larger than the loop-level predictions of minimal Dirac or Majorana models. We carry out a dedicated event-level simulation of the production-and-decay chain $νX \to \mathcal{U} X \to νγX$ and compute the resulting event rates at MiniBooNE and MINERvA within the model, accounting for the composite production cross section and decay kinematics in detail. We further present predictions for the photon energy, angular, and multiplicity distributions. For the benchmark scenarios accessible at these experiments the radiative signal is predominantly single-photon; the composite structure additionally permits fragmentation of the up-scattered state into multiple heavy neutrinos, each decaying as $N\toνγ$, with multi-photon final states emerging for lighter compositeness scales or higher beam energies as a qualitatively new probe of the composite dynamics.

An improved direct limit on the muon electric dipole moment
A limit on the permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) of the positive muon is presented based on data from the Fermilab Muon g-2 Experiment taken between 2019 and 2020. The tracking detectors measure the average vertical decay angle of positrons from muon decays, enabling a search for an interaction between a possible muon EDM $d_μ$ and the lab-frame magnetic field. The result, $d_μ= (-0.35 \pm 0.19_{\mathrm{stat}} \pm 0.34_{\mathrm{sys}}) \times10^{-19}~e\cdot$cm, is consistent with zero and sets a new direct limit on the muon EDM of $|d_μ|<1.10\times10^{-19}~e\cdot$cm at the 95 percent confidence level.

Electric Dipole Moment Measurements with Rare Isotopes
The origin of matter is one of the deepest questions addressed by science and remains a mystery because our understanding of the Big Bang suggests that equal amounts of matter as antimatter would be created and annihilate leaving nothing from which stars, galaxies, planets and ultimately life as we know it was created. We know this is not the case in the universe, and so the explanation that the laws of physics can distinguish the difference of moving forward and backward in time and provide mechanisms that produce more matter that antimatter so that a little bit was left over. These same laws of physics affect our world today and would very slightly change the shape of an atom, stretching is along the direction of the spin of its nucleus. This subtle shape change has been searched in many systems - the neutron, atoms and molecules, but has not yet been detected, even as the motivation is strengthened by our understanding of their structure. We therefore look to new systems that have special features that make these effects stand out. Rare isotopes provide one possibility and specific radon atoms are our choice. We have developed techniques to make these measurements with short-lived radioactive atoms, studied the nuclei to provide deeper understanding of how these affect arise in such atoms (including radium) and developed new laser-based techniques to measure and control the magnetic fields necessary to perform these exquisitely sensitive measurements. In this work we have shown that radioactive radon atoms can be produced and transported to an apparatus that lines up the spins of the atoms. We have also shown that the nuclei of nearby radium are pear shaped and that the radon nuclei likely oscillate from one pear shape to its mirror reflection. We have also used the techniques which control nuclear spin to study the magnetic environment in a magnetically shielded room, which has the smallest magnetic field in a large volume in the universe. Measuring magnetic fields and detecting noble atoms' shapes using lasers will provide new techniques for these measurements and impact a broad range of applications including measurements of the neutron EDM. Harvesting rare isotopes at the future FRIB facility at Michigan State University will provide much stronger sources of the isotopes of radon and radium for future-generation experiments and also provide new isotopes for applications including medicine.

Confined Water Dissociation in Microporous Defective Silicates: Mechanism, Dipole Distribution, and Impact on Substrate Properties.
Interest in microporous materials has risen in recent years, as they offer a confined environment that is optimal to enhance chemical reactions. Calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) gel, the main component of cement, presents a layered structure with sub-nanometer-size disordered pores filled with water and cations. The size of the pores and the hydrophilicity of the environment make C-S-H gel an excellent system to study the possibility of confined water reactions. To investigate it, we have performed molecular dynamics simulations using the ReaxFF force field. The results show that water does dissociate to form hydroxyl groups. We have analyzed the water dissociation mechanism, as well as the changes in the structure and water affinity of the C-S-H matrix and water polarization, comparing the results with the behavior of water in a defective zeolite. Finally, we establish a relationship between water dissociation in C-S-H gel and the increase of hardness due to a transformation from a two- to a three-dimensional structure.

Electric dipole moments of light nuclei from {chi}EFT
I present recent calculations of EDMs of light nuclei using chiral effective field theory techniques. At leading-order, we argue that they can be expressed in terms of six CP-violating low-energy constants. With our expressions, eventual non-zero measurements of EDMs of deuteron, helion, and triton can be combined to disentangle the different sources of CP-violation.

Exclusive processes in electron-ion collisions in the dipole formalism
We compare the predictions of two saturation models for production of vector mesons and of photons in electron-ion collisions. The models considered are the b-CGC and the rcBK. The calculations were made in the kinematical range of the LHeC and of the future eRHIC.
