Phenomenology for Convection

"An Epistemology for Phenomenology

Phenomenology, Neuroscience, and the Nature of Experience, Springer's series Studies in Brain and Mind, 2013, pp An Epistemology for Phenomenology? INTRODUCTION There is a tendency to assimilate so called "consciousness studies" to studies of the phenomenology of experience, and it seems to me that this is a shame. It is a shame, I think, because there is no such thing as a legitimate phenomeno...

Finite Element Methods for Convection Diffusion Equation

This paper deals with the finite element solution of the convection diffusion equation in one and two dimensions. Two main techniques are adopted and compared. The first one includes Petrov-Galerkin based on Lagrangian tensor product elements in conjunction with streamlined upwinding. The second approach represents Bubnov/Petrov-Galerkin schemes based on a new group of exponential elements. It ...

Charm Phenomenology for CKM Parameters

We review several key aspects of charm phenomenology which are important for the general program of determination of matrix elements of the Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskava (CKM) matrix. We argue that charm physics plays an important role in reducing uncertainties in non-perturbative QCD parameters whose values are required for understanding of underlying quark-level processes. We also review the curr...

LHC Phenomenology for Physics Hunters

Welcome to a first set of notes for my 2008 TASI lectures on the exciting topic of ‘tools and technicalities’ (original title). Technically, LHC physics is really all about perturbative QCD, no matter if you are looking at signals or at backgrounds. When we try to look for interesting signatures at the LHC we instantly get killed by QCD. Therefore, I will mostly discuss QCD issues which arise f...
