Optimal Axes of Siberian Snakes for Polarized Proton Acceleration [PDF]

Looptree, Fennec, and Snake of ICRT [PDF]
We introduce a new theory of plane $\mathbb R$-tree, to define plane ICRT (inhomogeneous continuum random tree), and its looptree, fennec (a Gaussian free field on the looptree), and snake. We prove that a.s. the looptree is compact, and that a.s. the fennec and snake are continuous.
