Mounting and Working Heavy Guns at Sea

Summary, Working Group 1: Electron guns and injector designs

We summarize the proceedings of Working Group 1 of the 2005 Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) Workshop. The subject of this working group, the electron gun and injector design, is arguably the most critical part of the ERL as it determines the ultimate performance of this type of accelerators. Working Group 1 dealt with a variety of subjects: The technology of DC, normal-conducting RF and superconduc...

Guns and gun threats at college.

A random sample of more than 10,000 undergraduate students, selected from 119 4-year colleges, answered a mailed questionnaire about gun possession and gun threats. Approximately 4.3% of the students reported that they had a working firearm at college, and 1.6% of them have been threatened with a gun while at school. Students are more likely to have a firearm at college and to be threatened wit...

Heavy flavours: working group summary

Production and fragmentation of heavy quarks is one of the most dynamical fields of research in QCD precision tests. There is an active interplay between experimental analysis and theoretical developments in this area. The aim of the working group was to discuss the relevant experimental and theoretical results that became available or updated since the previous DIS workshop in 2008. They are s...

Guns, Privacy, and Crime

We investigate the impact of an information shock – the public exposure of the names and addresses of holders of handgun carry permits – on criminals’ propensity to commit crimes. In December 2008, a Memphis, TN newspaper published a searchable online database of names, zip codes, and ages of Tennessee handgun carry permit holders. Once news of the database publication spread, an intense and ac...
