Effects of Global Boundary and Local Collisionality on Magnetic Reconnection in a Laboratory Plasma

Description: The magnetic reconnection process is studied in a wide range of operating conditions in the well-controlled Magnetic Reconnection Experiment. The reconnection rate is observed to be a function of both global (i.e., system size) and local (collisionality) plasma parameters. When only local collisionality is lowered, the current sheet is shortened while effective resistivity is enhanced, both accelerating reconnection rates. At a fixed collisionality, the current sheet length increases with syste… more

Radiation dose assessment methodology and preliminary dose estimates to support US Department of Energy radiation control criteria for regulated treatment and disposal of hazardous wastes and materials

Description: This report provides unit dose to concentration levels that may be used to develop control criteria for radionuclide activity in hazardous waste; if implemented, these criteria would be developed to provide an adequate level of public and worker health protection, for wastes regulated under U.S, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements (as derived from the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act [RCRA] and/or the Toxic Substances Control Act [TSCA]). Thus, DOE and the US Nuclear Regula… more

Description: During this six-month period, Hydrogeochemical and Stream Sediment Reconnaissance samples were collected by the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) from 623 locations in Colorado for a special study. Additional special studies are planned for nine other areas in the Rocky Mountain states in fiscal year 1979, plus some cleanup reconnaissance sampling in parts of four quadrangles that overlap state borders. Preparations for reconnaissance sampling of the entire North Slope region of Alaska ha… more

J/{psi} production in p{anti p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV

Description: The authors have studied J/{psi} production in p{anti p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV with the D0 detector at Fermilab, using a {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup {minus}} data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 13 pb{sup {minus}1}. They have measured the inclusive J/{psi} production cross section as a function of J/{psi} transverse momentum p{sub T}. For the kinematic range p{sub T} > 8 GeV/c and {vert_bar}{eta}{vert_bar} < 0.6 they obtain Br(J/{psi} {yields} {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup {minus… more

Measurement of B{sup 0} {minus} {bar B}{sup 0} mixing using dimuons at D0

Description: The D0 experiment at Fermilab has determined the B{sup 0} {minus} B{sup 0} mixing probability x using dimuon events produced in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV. Using a sample of 172 dimuon events, we have determined the time and flavor averaged mixing probability x to be 0.09 {plus_minus} 0.04(stat){plus_minus}0.03(sys) [preliminary] in agreement with the present world average.

Measurement of inclusive triple differential dijet cross section, d{sup 3}{sigma}/dE{sub T}d{eta}{sub 1}d{eta}{sub 2} in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV

Description: Measurement of the inclusive triple differential dijet cross section, d{sup 3}{sigma}/dE{sub T}d{sub {eta}1}d{sub {eta}2}, at a center of mass energy {radical}s = 1.8 TeV with the D0 detector during the 1992--1993 run. The sensitivity of this measurement to different parton distribution functions is explored. A comparison of the data to NLO theory using different parton distributions functions indicates the need for a smaller gluon content in the x range accessible at the Tevatron than is predi… more

A measurement of the ratio of W + 1 jet to W + 0 jets cross sections and comparisons to QCD

Description: A preliminary measurement of the ratio, R{sup 10}, of the production cross sections for W + 1 Jet and W + 0 Jets processes at {radical}s = 1,800 GeV by the D0 Collaboration is presented. A comparison of this ratio is made to next-to-leading order calculations and the implications of these comparisons, especially for the extraction of a value for the strong coupling constant {alpha}{sub s}(M{sub W}{sup 2}), are discussed.

Inclusive dimuon and b-quark production cross sections in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV

Description: We report on a preliminary measurement of the inclusive dimuon cross section in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV using the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. From these results, we extract the inclusive b-quark production cross section for the kinematic range {vert_bar}y{sup b}{vert_bar} < 1.0 and 9 GeV/c < p{sub T}{sup b min} < 25 GeV/c. The difference in azimuthal angle in the transverse plane for dimuon pairs from b{bar b} production is also shown.

Measurement of the {gamma} cross section at D0 using dimuons

Description: The D0 experiment has measured the {gamma} differential cross section in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV for {vert_bar}y{sup {gamma}}{vert_bar} < 0.7. We find the measured cross section to be a factor of five larger than the O({alpha}{sub s}{sup 3}) QCD prediction for p{sub T}{sup {gamma}} > 5 GeV/c.

Searches for new gauge bosons using the D0 detector

Description: We present the results of searches for additional gauge bosons beyond the W and Z bosons using the 1992-1993 Tevatron data set collected with the D0 detector. The signatures studied are W{prime} {yields} e{nu}, W{prime} {yields} {tau}{nu} with {tau} {yields} e{nu}{bar {nu}}, assuming stable neutrinos; W{sub R} {yields} e + X and W{sub R} {yields} eejj, assuming massive neutrinos; and Z{prime} {yields} ee.

High energy photon-neutrino interactions

Description: A general decomposition of the amplitudes for the 2 {r_arrow} 2 processes {gamma}{nu} {r_arrow} {gamma}{nu} and {gamma}{gamma} {r_arrow} {nu}{bar {nu}} is obtained using gauge invariance and Bose symmetry. The restrictions implied by this decomposition are investigated for the reaction {gamma}{gamma} {r_arrow} {nu}{bar {nu}} by computing the one-loop helicity amplitudes in the standard model. In the center of mass, where {radical}s = 2{omega}, the cross section grows roughly as {omega}{sup 6} u… more
