NuInt05 Session 2 Summary: New Experimental Results

Summary of session C1: experimental gravitation

The fact that gravity is a metric theory follows from the Einstein equivalence principle. This principle consists of (i) the universality of free fall, (ii) the universality of the gravitational redshift and (iii) the local validity of Lorentz invariance. Many experiments searching for deviations from standard general relativity test the various aspects of the Einstein equivalence principle. He...

Spin Physics: Session Summary

Many spin physics experiments have been performed in recent years and many new exciting results have been reported at DIS 2007 [1], which will be highlighted in this summary. Also on the theory side many new results were reported, especially regarding transverse spin effects which are most challenging. Recent years have seen quite some unexpected developments concerning so-called TMDs, transver...

Summary of Session 2: Spoken Language Systems I

This session included descriptions of Spoken Language Systems under development at BBN Systems and Technologies, Carnegie Mellon University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Unisys. The topics covered a variety of issues including semantic interpretation (BBN), modeling "noise words" for spontaneous (vs. read) speech (CMU), dialogue management (Unisys) and systems issues (MIT and Unisys).

Summary of Session 2: Beam Dynamics and Intensity Challenges

We summarize the Session 2 of the HHH-2004 workshop, which was devoted to beam dynamics and intensity challenges. The topics discussed included the extrapolation of collimation system, machine protection, beam dump, and rf systems to various LHC upgrade scenarios, spacecharge studies for the GSI complex, electron-cloud effects at RHIC and SNS, and a review of vacuum physics, which addressed, in...
