A Dust Shower

The Shower

For the last year or two of college, I lived in a small room attached to a garage at the back of a house on Del Mar Boulevard in Pasadena. I’d been living in a room of the main house for a year and leaped at the opportunity for more privacy. The room was tiny — but I didn’t have much stuff and it had its own bathroom. It was just right for me. There was only one thing that was a little disagree...

Milagrito, a TeV air-shower array

Milagrito, a large, covered water-Cherenkov detector, was the world's "rst air-shower-particle detector sensitive to cosmic gamma rays below 1 TeV. It served as a prototype for the Milagro detector and operated from February 1997 to May 1998. This paper gives a description of Milagrito, a summary of the operating experience, and early results that demonstrate the capabilities of this technique....

A simple shower and matching algorithm

We present a simple formalism for parton-shower Markov chains. As a first step towards more complete ‘uncertainty bands’, we incorporate a comprehensive exploration of the ambiguities inherent in such calculations. To reduce this uncertainty, we then introduce a matching formalism which allows a generated event sample to simultaneously reproduce any infrared safe distribution calculated at lead...

The ultimate emergency shower.

Breaking the Shower Glass

8 considers a scene of an ooce. Figure 4 (a) shows the scene as it is seen through the synthetic USG. In Figure 4 (b), the reconstruction result is shown, assuming a depth of o z = 6 units, the depth of the center of the scene. Figure 4 (c) shows the original scene of the ooce, with the USG completely removed. Due to the large variation in the depth of the scene, the quality of Figure 4 (b) is ...
