Search for b0(s) --> mu+ mu- and b0(d) --> mu+ mu- decays in p anti-p collisions at s**(1/2) = 1.96 tev

Description: The authors report on a search for B{sub s}{sup 0} {yields} {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -} and B{sub d}{sup 0} {yields} {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -} decays in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV using 171 pb{sup -1} of data collected by the CDF II experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The decay rates of these rare processes are sensitive to contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model. One event survives all the selection requirements, consistent with the background expectation. They… more

Validation on the thermal effect of roof with the spraying and green plants in an insulated building

Description: In recent years, roof-spraying and rooftop lawns has proved effective on roofs with poor thermal insulation. However, roofs of most buildings have insulating material to provide thermal insulation during the winter. The effects of such a practice have not previously been quantified. In this study, the authors conducted measurements of an insulated building to quantify the thermal effects of roof-spraying and rooftop lawns. Roof-spraying did not significantly reduce cooling loads, and required s… more

X-ray Polarization Measurements at Relativistic Laser Intensities

Description: An effort has been started to measure the short pulse laser absorption and energy partition at relativistic laser intensities up to 10{sup 21} W/cm{sup 2}. Plasma polarization spectroscopy is expected to play an important role in determining fast electron generation and measuring the electron distribution function.

Simulating the Flow Field Upstream of the Dworshak Dam Regulating Outlets

Description: The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory numerically modeled flow conditions upstream of the regulating outlets at Dworshak Dam, North Fork Clearwater River, Idaho. Simulations were performed using the computational fluid dynamics model Flow-3D, a peer reviewed and validated three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes hydrodynamic model. Results were studied to determine the impacts of water surface elevation and discharge though the three regulating outlets on flow velocities in the res… more
