Tau Leptonic Branching Ratios, D. Buskulic, M. Thulasidas

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

A sample of 62249 τ-pair events is selected from data taken with the ALEPH detector in 1991, 1992 and 1993. The measurement of the branching fractions for τ decays into electrons and muons is presented with emphasis on the study of systematic effects from selection, particle identification and decay classification. The results obtained are: B e = 17.79±0.12(stat)±0.06(syst)(%) and Bμ = 17.31±0.11(stat)±0.05(syst)(%). Combined with the most recent ALEPH determination of the τ lifetime, these results provide a relative measurement of the leptonic couplings in the weak charged current for transverse W bosons: ${cal G}_{ώ}/{cal G}_{e}=1.0002pm 0.0051$ and ${cal G}_{∢u}/{cal G}_{u}=0.9943pm …

Rediscovering Usury: An Argument For Legal Controls On Credit Card Interest Rates, Vincent D. Rougeau

Journal Articles

This article explores the specific question of setting a legal maximum for credit card interest rates. There has been extensive discussion in the popular press of the explosion of credit card use and the extraordinarily high interest rates people are willing to pay, through various fees and interest charges, to use them. Classic free-market economic arguments have been used to prevent the imposition of a federal cap on credit card interest rates, but there is strong evidence that economic models inadequately explain the credit card market and that a lack of interest rate controls has produced a dramatic transfer of …

Law, Governance, And Academic And Disciplinary Decisions In Australian Universities: An American Perspective, Fernand N. Dutile

Journal Articles

On a bulletin board at the University of Queensland, in Brisbane, Australia appears the following warning to students: "Please don't cheat in your exams; Senate is not inclined to be merciful." The emphasis in this entreaty on the role of the University governing board reflects a major difference, although only one of them, between the American and Australian treatments of student shortcomings, academic or disciplinary.

This Article will discuss, from an American perspective, the law affecting decisions regarding academic and disciplinary matters in Australian universities. This discussion will address not only internal university governance, but also the impact of Constitutional, …

The Double Jeopardy Dilemma: Does Criminal Prosecution And Civil Forfeiture In Separate Proceedings Violate The Double Jeopardy Clause?, Jimmy Gurulé

Journal Articles

A preview of two 1996 Supreme Court cases. In the first case, US v. Ursery, a convicted narcotics dealer filed a motion to dismiss his criminal sentence on the grounds that it had violated the double jeopardy clause because he had already received a civil forfeiture judgment for the same crime. The second case, US v. $405,089.23, involves a similar situation, with a convicted felon filing a motion to dismiss his civil forfeiture case on the grounds that he had received a criminal sentence for the same crime earlier. The article argues that the two cases are significant because the …
