Antarctic subglacial lake exploration: first results and future plans.
After more than a decade of planning, three attempts were made in 2012-2013 to access, measure in situ properties and directly sample subglacial Antarctic lake environments. First, Russian scientists drilled into the top of Lake Vostok, allowing lake water to infiltrate, and freeze within, the lower part of the ice-core borehole, from which further coring would recover a frozen sample of surfac...
متن کاملA 60-year international history of Antarctic subglacial lake exploration
In January 2013, the USWISSARD programmemeasured and sampled LakeWhillans, a subglacial water body at the edge of West Antarctica, in a clean and environmentally sensitive manner, proving the existence of microbial life beneath this part of the ice sheet. The success of WISSARD represented a benchmark in the exploration of Antarctica, made possible by a rich and diverse history of events, disco...

Weak decays of particles containing heavy quarks: At SLAC, KEK and Fermilab, a concerted experimental effort has been made to determine elements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix through studies of the mixings and decays of B mesons. In addition, the properties of D mesons have been measured to high accuracy in the CLEO-c Program at Cornell. Work in this area continues at Fermilab, ...

Generation of gauge configurations with the highly improved HISQ action: Although our library of asqtad gauge ensembles is enabling the accurate determination of a wide range of physical quantities [], there are a number of important calculations, particularly those related to tests of the standard model, that require greater accuracy than it can provide. For this reason, we have undertaken to ...
