Energy flow distributions from tagged γγ events generated with HERWIG are presented for Ebeam = 45.6 GeV (LEP1) and Ebeam = 175 GeV (top-quark threshold at a future e+e− Linear Collider). They have very similar shapes regardless of the beam energy. Using the present knowledge of the LEP F γ 2 analyses, it is forseen that the understanding of the hadronic response of the forward region of the LC...

Different Stable Patterns between Intra- and Inter-personal Systems: Experimental Study on Inter-limb Tapping Coordination

To reveal the differences between intraand inter-personal systems in terms of the perceptual effect on the stability of inter-limb coordination, the present study conducted a fingertapping experiment in in-phase and anti-phase mode. We investigated a between-subjects factor (the intra-/interpersonal condition), and a within-subject factor (the phase mode). In the intra-personal condition, parti...

Inter-Group Conflict and Intra-Group Punishment in an Experimental Contest Game

We study how conflict in contest games is influenced by rival parties being groups and by group members being able to punish each other. Our motivation stems from the analysis of socio-political conflict. The theoretical prediction is that conflict expenditures are independent of group size and of whether punishment is available or not. We find, first, that conflict expenditures of groups are s...
