Dr W. H. Hylton

Dr William H. Hylton, formerly a general practitioner in Clevedon died suddenly on March 20th at the age of 83. William Hawkins Hylton?Bill, was born in Leeds in 1906. He was educated at Bridlington College. His father ran a building firm but died tragically of acute appendicitis when his son was aged 14. Bill intending to pursue the same career entered Leeds University and took a degree in eng...

We discuss and give elementary proofs of results of Brion and of LawrenceVarchenko on the lattice-point enumerator generating functions for polytopes and cones. While this note is purely expository, its contains a new proof of Brion’s Theorem using irrational decompositions.

H/W-S/W Co-Verification in ATM

This paper presents a verification strategy for the hardware-software interface of a large ATM switch. The complexity of such a system and the requirements are discussed. A modeling strategy based on software emulation is presented which will allow for the functional verification of the interface prior to lab samples being available, resulting in reduced system integration times.

Exploiting h!W W Decays at the Upgraded Fermilab Tevatron

We study the observability of a Standard Model-like Higgs boson at an upgraded Fermilab Tevatron via the mode h ! W W . We perform detector level simulations for the gg ! h ! W W ! ` ̀ and q q ! W h ! W W W ! ` ` jj channels. We nd that with a c. m. energy of 2 TeV and an integrated luminosity of 30 fb 1 the signal should be observable at a 3 level or better for the mass range of 145 GeV < mh < ...
