Measurement Of The Top Quark PT Distribution, T. Affolder, Kenneth A. Bloom, Collider Detector At Fermilab Collaboration Sep 2001

Measurement Of The Top Quark PT Distribution, T. Affolder, Kenneth A. Bloom, Collider Detector At Fermilab Collaboration

Kenneth Bloom Publications

We have measured the pT distribution of top quarks that are pair produced in pp̅ collisions at √s=1.8 TeV using a sample of tt̅ decays in which we observe a single high-pT charged lepton, a neutrino, and four or more jets. We use a likelihood technique that corrects for the experimental bias introduced due to event reconstruction and detector resolution effects. The observed distribution is consistent with the standard model prediction. We use these data to place limits on the production of high-pT top quarks suggested in some models of anomalous top quark pair production.


Experimental Investigation Of Moisture Migration In Concrete, R. P. West, Niall Holmes Sep 2001

Experimental Investigation Of Moisture Migration In Concrete, R. P. West, Niall Holmes

Conference papers

The ability to be able to predict the state of dryness of a concrete floor slab is a practical need in the construction industry. Current popular methods, including the surface hygrometer and vapour emission tests, only indicate surface dryness, with consequent uncertainties in the quantity of residual moisture deep within the slab. This paper describes the variation in moisture condition with depth for a number of slabs under different drying conditions, as established using a new probe which can reliably determine the relative humidity at any depth. From this it is concluded that results from the conventional tests need to …

The Edge Of The Universe-Noneuclidean Wallpaper, Frank A. Farris Sep 2001

The Edge Of The Universe-Noneuclidean Wallpaper, Frank A. Farris

Mathematics and Computer Science

A simple mathematical model of a two-dimensional universe, called the Poincaré Upper Halfplane, illustrates the possibility of a universe with an unattainable edge. In this article, I describe this model -a famous example of a noneuclidean geometry-and explain how conversations with an analytic number theorist led me to create wallpaper patterns for its inhabitants. These are interesting not only for their high "Gee whiz!"factor, but also as a window for observing the features of this unusual geometry.

Mev Magnetosheath Ions Energized At The Bow Shock, S. Chang, J. D. Scudder, K. Kudela, Harlan E. Spence, J. F. Fennell, R. P. Lepping, R. P. Lin, C. T. Russell Sep 2001

Mev Magnetosheath Ions Energized At The Bow Shock, S. Chang, J. D. Scudder, K. Kudela, Harlan E. Spence, J. F. Fennell, R. P. Lepping, R. P. Lin, C. T. Russell

Physics & Astronomy

A causal relationship between midlatitude magnetosheath energetic ions and bow shock magnetic geometry was previously established for ion energy up to 200 keV e−1 for the May 4, 1998, storm event. This study demonstrates that magnetosheath ions with energies above 200 keV up to 1 MeV simply extend the ion spectrum to form a power law tail. Results of cross-correlation analysis suggest that these ions also come directly from the quasi-parallel bow shock, not the magnetosphere. This is confirmed by a comparison of energetic ion fluxes simultaneously measured in the magnetosheath and at the quasi-parallel bow shock when both regions …


C-Band Sar Backscatter Characteristics Of Arctic Sea And Land Ice During Winter, Konrad Steffen, John Heinrichs Sep 2001

C-Band Sar Backscatter Characteristics Of Arctic Sea And Land Ice During Winter, Konrad Steffen, John Heinrichs

Geosciences Faculty Publications

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data has become an important tool for studies of polar regions, due to high spatial resolution even during the polar night and under cloudy skies. We have studied the temporal variation of sea and land ice backscatter of twenty-four SAR images from the European Remote Sensing satellite (ERS-1) covering an area in Lady Ann Strait and Jones Sound, Nunavut, from January to March 1992. The presence of fast ice in Jones Sound and glaciers and ice caps on the surrounding islands provides an ideal setting for temporal backscatter studies of ice surfaces. Sample regions for eight …

Identification Of Regulatory Elements Using A Feature Selection Method, Sunduz Keles, Mark J. Van Der Laan, Michael B. Eisen Sep 2001

Identification Of Regulatory Elements Using A Feature Selection Method, Sunduz Keles, Mark J. Van Der Laan, Michael B. Eisen

U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

Many methods have been described to identify regulatory motifs in the transcription control regions of genes that exhibit similar patterns of gene expression across a variety of experimental conditions. Here we focus on a single experimental condition, and utilize gene expression data to identify sequence motifs associated with genes that are activated under this experimental condition. We use a linear model with two way interactions to model gene expression as a function of sequence features (words) present in presumptive transcription control regions. The most relevant features are selected by a feature selection method called stepwise selection with monte carlo cross …

On Misorientation Distribution Evolution During Anisotropic Grain Growth, Elizabeth A. Holm, Gregory N. Hassold, Mark A. Miodownik Sep 2001

On Misorientation Distribution Evolution During Anisotropic Grain Growth, Elizabeth A. Holm, Gregory N. Hassold, Mark A. Miodownik

Physics Publications

In order to study the development of texture and boundary character during annealing, three-dimensional grain crystallography and crystallographically mediated grain boundary properties were incorporated into a finite temperature Monte Carlo model for grain growth. Randomly textured microstructures evolve normally, with growth exponent n=0.96. While texture remains random, the steady-state boundary misorientation distribution favors low-angle boundaries. To first order, low-angle boundaries increase by lengthening, not by proliferating. In contrast, microstructures with a strong single-component texture develop four-grain junctions and highly curved grain boundaries, which alter evolution. The boundary misorientation distribution narrows and shifts to low angles, and no steady state …
