Environmental Protection: Information on the Purchase, Use, and Disposal of Engine Lubricating Oil

Description: A briefing report issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "Concerned with the time, money, and resources that the federal government expends servicing its vehicle and engine fleet, the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works asked GAO to compile information on the government's use of engine lubricating oil. GAO was asked to determine: (1) how much engine lubricating oil the federal government bought in fiscal years 1999, 2000, and 2001; (2) what costs are i… more

Vadose Zone Transport Field Study: FY 2002 Status Report

Description: This work reported here is part of the U. S. Department of Energy’s Science and Technology Initiative to develop improved conceptual models of flow and transport in the vadose zone, particularly for the Hanford Site, Washington. The National Academy of Sciences has identified significant knowledge gaps in conceptual model development as one reason for discovery of subsurface contamination in unexpected places. Inadequate conceptualizations limits, not only the understanding of long-term fate an… more

DOE-EPRI On-Line Monitoring Implementation Guidelines

Description: Industry and EPRI experience at several plants has shown on-line monitoring to be very effective in identifying out-of-calibration instrument channels or indications of equipment-degradation problems. The EPRI implementation project for on-line monitoring has demonstrated the feasability of on-line monitoring at several participating nuclear plants. The results have been very enouraging, and substantial progress is anticipated in the coming years.

Search for eta b at CDF

Description: The {eta}{sub b} (1S) is the J{sup PC} = 0{sup {-+}} b{bar b} ground state, and has not yet been experimentally observed. Theorists have recently suggested that it could be observed at the Fermilab Tevatron through its decay to J/{psi}J/{psi}, if not in the 1992-96 (''Run 1'') dataset, then in Run 2. This article describes a search for this particle at CDF in Run 1 using this decay channel. A small cluster is seen, with 7 events where 1.8 events are expected from background. The statistical sig… more

Top studies

Description: The top quark, discovered in 1994 at the Tevatron, has proven a very interesting particle. Its characteristics allow both to perform stringent tests of electroweak theory, and to search for new physics through a deviation from standard model predictions for several of its peculiar properties. I will review the status of top physics and briefly describe the potential of experiments of the near future.

Final Report - DE-FG03-97ER62385

Description: OAK B188 Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) are the most common form of sequence variation in the human genome, and based on their natural frequency, they are also likely to be the underlying cause of most phenotypic differences in humans. Since SNPs are found in both coding and non-coding regions of the genome, randomly distributed markers as well as markers clustered in genes can be discovered. The majority of SNPs found in coding regions (cSNPs) are single base substitutions that may or m… more

Jet algorithms at D0

Description: The D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron proton-antiproton collider ({radical}s = 1.8 TeV) accumulated a large sample of high energy jet production data during Run 1 (1992-1996). Since March 2001, D0 has engaged in continuous data collection with an upgraded detector equipped for the higher energy ({radical}s = 1.96 TeV) and luminosity conditions of the Run 2 Tevatron. We summarize here pivotal measurements of Run 1 and consider their comparison to theoretical predictions and to other experim… more

Direct investigations of supersymmetry: subgroup summary report

Description: A recurring element of the discussions in the Snowmass study is that there is a need and opportunity for improved theoretical tools in preparation for the discovery of Supersymmetry (SUSY). In order to be competitive with mass measurements at the LHC and a linear collider (LC), predictions of sparticle and Higgs masses from given model parameters need to be improved by an order of magnitude in some cases. There is also room for growth and improvement in (Monte Carlo) SUSY event generators. It s… more

A Free Trade Area of the Americas: Status of Negotiations and Major Policy Issues

Description: At the second Summit of the Americas in Santiago, Chile (April 1998), 34 Western Hemisphere nations agreed to initiate formal negotiations to create a Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) by 2005. The process so far has led to two draft texts, the second completed for the November 1, 2002 trade ministerial in Quito, Ecuador. The many sections of “bracketed” text indicate that there are still significant differences to be worked out. Although implementing legislation is not anticipated until t… more
