High energy neutrino telescopes
No full textA review of the potential of Neutrino Telescopes to contribute to Astrophysics and Elementary Particle Physics is presented. The status of the four neutrino telescopes presently under construction is reviewed. An inexpensive modular design of how to reach an 1 km2 telescope with an energy threshold of a few GeV is proposed. © 1996 Kluwer Academic Publishers
Tests of. mu. -e universality for weak neutral currents at PEP
No full textTwo techniques are proposed to test the universality of the ..mu../minus/e weak neutral current interaction of large Q/sup 2/. Both techniques require large statistics and some degree of longitudinal e/sup +/,e/sup minus/ polarization but are otherwise feasible at PEP
Co-designing Speakers Corner
No full text“What might a twenty-first century Speakers’ Corner look like and how should the design process ensure that local people can contribute?”
The paper considers this question through describing a three year collaboration between MA Creative Practice for Narrative Environments (MACPfNE) at CSM, and the Speakers’ Corner Trust (SCT). SCT is a charity promoting public debate and active citizenship to revitalise civil society in the UK. It pursues its aims by forming local Committees which ‘own’ and steer the establishment of Speakers’ Corners as platforms for public engagement. MACPfNE is an innovative course that encourages multidisciplinary collaboration and the use of narrative as a tool to develop user focused environments.
Working closely with SCT, MACPfNE staff and students developed a methodology whereby communities co-create their own physical manifestation of Speakers’ Corner to suit needs and environment. The methodology and its theoretical foundation were developed through a series of live projects, including: a generic mobile Speakers’ Corner prototype, tested at the Global Forum for Freedom of Expression in Oslo; the co-design with local school children, followed by implementation of London’s second Speakers’ Corner in a community park in North London; and a pilot project to co-design Speakers’ Corner in every school playground
Measurement of inclusive K*0 (892), Phi (1020) and K(2)*0 (1430) production in hadronic Z decays
No full textThe inclusive production of the neutral vector mesons K*0(892) and φ(1020), and of the tensor meson K2*0(1430), in hadronic decays of the Z has been measured by the DELPHI detector at LEP. The average production rates per hadronic Z decay have been determined to be 0.77 ± 0.08 K*0(892), 0.104 ± 0.008 φ(1020) and 0.079 ± 0.040 K2*0(1430). The ratio of the tensor-to-vector meson production yields, 〈K2*0(1430)〉/〈K *0(892)〉 = 0.10± 0.05, is smaller than the 〈f2(1270)〉/〈ρ0(770)〉 and 〈f2′(1525)〉 /〈φ(1020)〉 ratios measured by DELPHI. The production rates and differential cross sections are compared with the predictions of JETSET 7.4 tuned to the DELPHI data and of HERWIG 5.8. The K*0(892) and φ(1020) data are compatible with model predictions, but a large disagreement is observed for the K2*0(1430)
