Diffraction for Non-believers *
Diffractive reactions involving a hard scale can be understood in terms of quarks and gluons. These reactions have become a valuable tool for investigating the low-x structure of the proton and the behavior of QCD in the high-density regime, and they may provide a clean environment to study or even discover the Higgs boson at the LHC. In this paper we give a brief introduction to the descriptio...
متن کاملNobelium non-believers.
In 1956, a research team in Moscow led by Georgy Flerov bombarded 241Pu with 16O using recently developed heavy-ion beam techniques. The Moscow team may have produced element 102, and contemplated the name joliotium (Jo) to honour 1935 Chemistry Nobelist Irène Joliot-Curie, who had died earlier that year.

The relative importance of mentalizing for endorsi...

At a very abstract level, ai’s beliefs can be modeled by...

To someone unfamiliar with Artificial Intelligence, all of the activity that is taking place at this IJCAI conference must be very puzzling. And the current fuss about what is called a "knowledge-based system" (KBS) must be a total mystery. For one thing, there is an amazing amount of talk about knowledge. There are even advertisements in The AI Magazine reminding us of the value of knowledge. ...
