Test of artificial neural networks for quark/gluon jet classification on real data from the DELPHI detector
No full textBonny Cassidy, Folio of poetry 2016
No full textBACKGROUND - This folio updates my ongoing creative writing practice, with nine poem publications. The poems represent my current interest in twisted or unmoored lyric, in which the speaking voice adopts riddling or changing identities. Influences on this work include contemporary work by local and international poets Michael Farrell, Fiona Hile and Gig Ryan, Lucie Brock-Broido, Tomas Transtromer and Anne Carson. CONTRIBUTION - This poetic mode is a response to feminist poetics, specifically the question of the poetic speaker's identity and its relationship to traditions with gendered associations, such as confessionalism and activist poetry. These poems ask, who is speaking and do they have any relationship to the author apart from the imaginary; does poetry require emotional authenticity? Drawing these questions into my own context as a postcolonial settler writer, these works also ask how analogy, fable, riddle and drama might represent a particularly Australian female voice and experience. SIGNIFICANCE - This folio places my current work within a number of different contexts, national and international. Plumwood Mountain addresses the intersection of ecology and poetry, thus extending the critical framing of my contribution, which was selected by guest editors Peter Minter and Stuart Cooke. Island is a well-established print journal based in Tasmania, its poetry edited by Sarah Holland-Batt, and reaching a national audience of subscribers and wide retail distribution. Poetry (US) is America's foremost poetry journal, and this work will feature in a special issue of Australian work, edited by Robert Adamson. Finally, four of my poems will feature in Active Aesthetics, edited by Lyn Hejinian and published out of the University of California, Berkeley. This collection is published to accompany a symposium of the same name, to be held in April, and made available to a wide range of scholars, students and writers of poetry in America and Australia

Measurement of A(FB)(b(b)over-bar) in hadronic Z decays using a jet charge technique
No full textThe bb forward-backward asymmetry has been determined from the average charge how measured in a sample of 3,500,000 hadronic Z decays collected with the DELPHI detector in 1992 - 1995. The measurement is performed in an enriched b (b) over bar sample selected using an impact parameter tag and results in the following values for the bl; forward-backward asymmetry: A(FB)(b (b) over bar) (89.55 GeV) = 0.068 +/- 0.016 (stat.) +/- 0.0013(syst.) A(FB)(b (b) over bar)(91.26 GeV) = 0.0982 +/- 0.0047(stat.) +/- 0.0016(syst.) A(FB)(b (b) over bar)(92.94 GeV) = 0.123 +/- 0.016 (stat.) +/- 0.0027(syst.) The b (b) over bar charge separation required for this analysis is directly measured in the b tagged sample, while the other charge separations are obtained from a fragmentation model precisely calibrated to data. The effective weak mixing angle is deduced from the measurement to be: sin(2)theta(eff)1 = 0.23186 +/- 0.00063.

A Precise measurement of the partial decay width ratio R(b)**0 = Gamma(b anti-b) / Gamma(had)
No full textThe partial decay width of the Z to b (b) over bar quark pairs has been measured by the DELPHI detector at LEP using data taken in the years 1992 to 1995. Decays of b-hadrons were tagged by several methods using tracks with large impact parameters and/or reconstructed secondary vertices; complemented by event shape variables. Combining these methods in a multivariate analysis the value Gamma(Z --> b (b) over bar)/Gamma(Z --> had) = 0.21634 +/- 0.00067(stat) +/- 0.00060(syst) was obtained, where the c (c) over bar production fraction was fixed to its Standard Model value.

Writing The see-through man: poetry and commentary
No full text'Writing The See-Through Man: Poetry and Commentary' is a Creative Writing thesis in two parts. The first part is a collection of poems called The See-Through Man, written specifically for this project. It comprises thirty short poems (of approximately one page in length) and one long poem, '1969' (approximately sixty pages in length). The second part of the thesis is a personal, critical commentary which reflects on the evolution of the themes in this collection, from an initial desire to write about the male nude in art, to a desire to write about masculinity, to, finally, a desire to write autobiographically on issues of male embodiment. It reflects, retrospectively, on the creative processes behind the writing of the poems, with specific reference to technical experiments undertaken during the writing of key poems. It uses my own contemporaneous journals to piece together their 'histories', from idea to final draft. It also reflects on the influence of other poets and poetic traditions, with particular reference to the long poem, the prose-poem and the sonnet (and how assigning a central place to the sonnet grew out of a translation of Michelangelo). The sonnet, for example, comes to be understood as a metaphor for the Apollonian male body (considered to be a negative construct) and the versions of sonnets in the collection as examples of that form undergoing Dionysian adjustments
Measurement of the rate of b(b)over-bar-b(b)over-bar events in hadronic Z decays and the extraction of the gluon splitting into b(b)over-bar
No full textThe rate Z –> b (b) over bar b (b) over bar was measured using about 2 x 10(6) hadronic decays collected by the DELPHI experiment in 1994 and 1995. Events were forced into 3-jets with y(min) > 0.06 and a b-tag was required for every jet. The rate was measured to be: R-4b = BR(Z –> b (b) over bar b (b) over bar/BR(Z –> hadrons), = (6.0 +/- 1.9(stat.) +/- 1.4(syst.)) x 10(-4) where the invariant mass of every b (b) over bar system is above twice the b quark mass. Using the value of R-4b the probability of secondary production of a b (b) over bar pair from a gluon per hadronic Z decay, g(bb), was extracted and found to be: g(bb) = (3.3 +/- 1.0(stat.) +/- 0.8(syst.)) x 10(-3).

A MEASUREMENT OF THE TAU-LEPTONIC BRANCHING FRACTIONS
No full textA sample of 25000 Z(0) –> tau(-)tau(+) events collected by the DELPHI experiment at LEP in 1991 and 1992 is used to measure the leptonic branching fractions of the tau lepton. The results are B(tau –> e nu<(nu)over bar>) = (17.51+/-0.39)% and B(tau –> mu nu<(nu)over bar>) = (17.02+/-0.31)%. The ratio of the muon and electron couplings to the weak charged current is measured to be g(mu)/g(e) = 1.000+/-0.013, satisfying e-mu universality. The average leptonic branching fraction corrected to the value for a massless lepton, assuming e-mu universality, is found to be B(tau –> l nu<(nu)over bar>) = (17.50+/-0.25)%
