Physics Division Summary Report. June 1960

Description: Informal reports are presented on experimental nuclear physics, mass spectroscopy, and crystallography. Each individual project reports about once in 3 months. Those not reported in a particular issue are listed separately in the table of contents with a reference to the last issue in which each appeared. (For preceding period see ANL6164.) (W.D.M.)

Naval Reactors Physics Handbook. Volume 3: The Physics of Intermediate Spectrum Reactors

Description: The present volume has been prepared for persons with some knowledge of the physics of nuclear reactors. It is intended to make available the accumulated physics experience of the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory in its work on intermediate spectrum reactors. Only those portions have been selected which were deemed to be most useful and significant to other physicists concerned with the problems of reactor design. The volume is divided into four parts which are more or less independent of one ano… more

Present and future neutrino physics research at the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility

Description: The Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility is currently the site of two neutrino experiments. A measurement of elastic scattering of electron-neutrinos on electrons is providing confirmation of the destructive interference between the weak neutral and charged currents predicted in the standard electroweak theory. A search for the appearance of )bar)..nu..)/sub e/ is being carried out at the LAMPF beam stop, as well. The status of this experiment is described. A major new initiative is being undertak… more

B-Physics

Description: Rare B decays, measurement of CKM angles, Zweig rule violating decays of the {gamma}(4S) and CP and violation are briefly discussed. After a brief overview I cover the following topics: rare i.e. Loop Decays; determination of KM angles; Zweig-rule violating decays of the {gamma}(4S); CP violation; and outlook.

Antinucleon physics

Description: Some of the recent data from LEAR, Brookhaven, and KEK on low and medium energy interactions of antinucleons (anti N) with nucleons (N) are reviewed and interpreted. Emphasis is on elastic and charge exchange scattering, total cross sections, and studies of anti NN annihilation, with particular focus on the emerging evidence for broad resonances and/or bound states of the anti NN system and the selection rules which reveal the quuark-gluon dynamics of the annihilation process. 69 refs., 8 figs.

Supercollider physics

Description: The physics that can be explored with multi-TeV supercolliders is reviewed, including parton distributions, hadron jet production, the standard electroweak theory and minimal extensions to it, technicolor, supersymmetry, and compositeness. 19 refs., 11 figs. (LEW)

Neutrino physics

Description: The field of neutrino physics has expanded greatly in recent years with the discovery that neutrinos change flavor and therefore have mass. Although there are many neutrino physics results since the last DIS workshop, these proceedings concentrate on recent neutrino physics results that either add to or depend on the understanding of Deep Inelastic Scattering. They also describe the short and longer term future of neutrino DIS experiments.

(Particle physics)

Description: This report briefly discusses the following topics: rare and forbidden eta meson and muon decays to test the standard model; tests of charge symmetry and isospin invariance; studies of baryon resonances; and exploratory investigations in support of the previous programs. (LSP)

The physics of jets

Description: Recent data on the fragmentation of quarks and gluons is discussed in the context of phenomenological models of parton fragmentation. Emphasis is placed on the experimental evidence for parton showers as compared to a fixed order QCD treatment, on new data on inclusive hadron production and on detailed studies of baryon production in jets.

Physics of supernovae

Description: Presupernova models of massive stars are presented and their explosion by ''delayed neutrino transport'' examined. A new form of long duration Type II supernova model is also explored based upon repeated encounter with the electron-positron pair instability in stars heavier than about 60 Msub solar. Carbon deflagration in white dwarfs is discussed as the probable explanation of Type I supernovae and special attention is paid to the physical processes whereby a nuclear flame propagates through d… more

Collider physics

Description: This past year our group participated in both the D0 experiment at Fermilab and the SDC experiment at the SSC. Most of our effort was concentrated on the D0 project, where we contributed as much manpower as possible to the commissioning of the detector in preparation for the coming collider run. Our SDC work consisted of the investigation of one of the candidate technologies for the forward calorimeter. On the D0 experiment, our primary responsibilities have been in the areas of electronics com… more

Charm physics

Description: The status of charm physics with emphasis on recent high statistics results from fixed target experiments is presented. The topics covered include charm production, D/sup 0//bar D//sup 0/ mixing, charm baryons and excited states such as the D**. Also reviewed are charm decays: hadronic, leptonic as well as semileptonic. Finally, we take a brief look at charm lifetimes before concluding with a look to the future. 28 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.

Supercollider physics

Description: Several unsolved problems concerning backgrounds prevent one from claiming that some particular signal is clearly observable. One of the most critical issues concerns the observability of W's and Z's from their decays into hadronic jets. Many signals for new physics involve final states with W's or Z's (e.g. the minimal Higgs discussed in D). If one is restricted to observing the W's and Z's via their leptonic modes (which may not be possible for final states involving more than one W) only a s… more

Hypernuclear physics

Description: A brief overview of progress made in the study of hypernuclear physics is presented. The use of ..lambda..-hypernuclei to study properties of conventional (nonstrange) nuclei is explored. Our knowledge of the hyperon-nucleon force is reviewed. Anecdotal examples of interesting hypernuclear phenomena are discussed. The status of ..sigma..-hypernuclei is considered along with a search for the ''H'' dibaryon. 30 refs., 10 figs.
