Streamer suppression with SF6 in RPCs operated in avalanche mode
We show that the addition of small amounts of sulphur hexafluoride, SF6, to the present ATLAS baseline gas mixture C2H2F4/C4H10 has a very strong effect in suppressing the avalanche-to-streamer transition. An RPC of 50 x 50 cm(2) area, 2 mm gas gap was operated in pure avalanche, streamer-free mode in a voltage range of about 1 kV. The results of the test suggest that the observed fast signal could be interpreted as the sum of contributions of a number of primary saturated avalanches. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
A search for heavy leptons with e+e- colliding beams
A search for heavy leptons has been carried out with the Frascati e+e− storage ring by looking for (μe) pairs. A lower mass limit of 1.15 GeV, with 95% confidence level, is obtained for various types of heavy leptons
