New developments in photdectection in particle physics and nuclear physics

Description: Photodetectors are widely used in particle and nuclear physics research. Since the beginning of the modern era of photoelectric transducers in the late 1930�s, many types of devices have been developed and exploited for physics research. New performance requirements arising in physics experiments have often provided very interesting technological drivers for industry. New ideas for photo-detection are rapidly adapted by the physics community to enable more powerful experimental capabilities. Th… more

Two-photon physics. Physics Publication No. 83-175

Description: A brief overview of {gamma}{gamma} physics is presented. Two-body final states are considered and a preliminary result on non-resonant {gamma}{gamma}{r_arrow}h{sup {minus}}h{sup +} (h = {pi}, K, p) is given. The most recent results on the {eta}{prime}, f{sup o}, A{sub 2}, and f{prime} resonances are tabulated and the status of {gamma}{gamma}{r_arrow}{rho}{sub o}{rho}{sup o} is discussed. The measurements of F{sub 2} and high p{sub {perpendicular}} jets are summarized.

Physics of iron

Description: This volume comprises papers presented at the AIRAPT Conference, June 28 to July 1993. The iron sessions at the meeting were identified as the Second Ironworkers Convention. The renewal of interest stems from advances in technologies in both diamond-anvil cell (DAC) and shock wave studies as well as from controversies arising from a lack of consensus among both experimentalists and theoreticians. These advances have produced new data on iron in the pressure-temperature regime of interest for ph… more

The Physics of SERAPHIM

Description: The Segmented Rail Phased Induction Motor (SERAPHIM) has been proposed as a propulsion method for urban maglev transit, advanced monorail, and other forms of high speed ground transportation. In this report we describe the technology, consider different designs, and examine its strengths and weaknesses.

Progress report for a research program in theoretical high-energy physics. [Dept. of Physics, Brown Univ]

Description: The past year's research has dealt with a wide range of topics in High-Energy Theoretical Physics. Important new results have been found in the fields of large-N expansions in quantum field theories via an effective Hamiltonian technique, and by the method of classical field equations supplemented by quantum boundary conditions; finite lattice QCD at N/sub c/ = infinity; neutrino oscillations and natural flavor conservation in gauge theory; the vanishing of the renormalized effective potential … more

Two-photon physics

Description: A new experimental frontier has recently been opened to the study of two photon processes. The first results of many aspects of these reactions are being presented at this conference. In contrast, the theoretical development of research ito two photon processes has a much longer history. This talk reviews the many different theoretical ideas which provide a detailed framework for our understanding of two photon processes.

Diboson physics at CDF

Description: This article presents the most recent results of the diboson production properties, using up to {integral} Ldt = 1.9 fb{sup -1} of data taken with the CDF Run II detector, at Tevatron. We summarize measurements of the W{gamma}, Z{gamma}, WW, WZ and ZZ production cross sections in leptonic channels. A search for the combined WW and WZ production in lepton-neutrino plus dijet final states is also presented.

Physics with polarized photons

Description: The role that polarization can play in the interaction of real and virtual photons with nuclear matter is considered. Linear, circular, and elliptical polarization are considered. Photodisintegration of the deuteron with linearly polarized photons is then examined, followed by use of circularly polarized photons with a polarized target. 30 refs., 4 figs. (LEW)

Hadron collider physics

Description: An introduction to the techniques of analysis of hadron collider events is presented in the context of the quark-parton model. Production and decay of W and Z intermediate vector bosons are used as examples. The structure of the Electroweak theory is outlined. Three simple FORTRAN programs are introduced, to illustrate Monte Carlo calculation techniques. 25 refs.

Particle physics and cosmology

Description: This series of lectures is about the role of particle physics in physical processes that occurred in the very early stages of the bug gang. Of particular interest is the role of particle physics in determining the evolution of the early Universe, and the effect of particle physics on the present structure of the Universe. The use of the big bang as a laboratory for placing limits on new particle physics theories will also be discussed. Section 1 reviews the standard cosmology, including primord… more

Aspects of B physics

Description: Various aspects of weak decays are commented on. Probing of the standard model and of phenomena beyond the standard model are discussed, followed by a theoretical view of B mesons and some experimental observations on B mesons. The point is made that any data on B decay would be interesting in that it would provide powerful new constraints in analyses of the standard model and extensions thereof. (LEW)

Research in theoretical physics

Description: In this report we describe a research undertaken approximately three years ago: in it we investigate possible signatures of physics non described by the Standard Model of electroweak and strong interactions. The source of such data is signals obtained from observations of point sources in the sky, typically x-ray binary stars, but also some others, such as the CRAB nebula.

Physics Prospects with GlueX

Description: The new experiment GlueX is being currently constructed at Jefferson Lab. The experiment was designed to search for hybrid mesons with exotic-quantum-numbers using a beam of linearly polarized photons incident on a liquid hydrogen target. We will discuss the discovery potential of the GlueX experiment and briefly overview its physics program. GlueX is a new experiment at Jefferson Lab. whose physics program is intended to improve our knowledge of strong interactions. The main goal of the experi… more

B Physics at the TeVatron

Description: The CDF and D0 experiments at the Tevatron p{bar p} collider established that extensive and detailed exploration of the b-quark dynamics is possible in hadron collisions, with results competitive and supplementary to those from e{sup +}e{sup -} colliders. This provides a rich, and highly rewarding program that is currently reaching full maturity. I report a few recent world-leading results on rare decays, CP-violation in B{sub s}{sup 0} mixing, b {yields} s penguin decays, and charm physics.
