Phenomenology and Post-Modernity

Qualitative research methodology: phenomenology

There are two qualitative and quantitative research paradigms in the methodological debates. Phenomenological approach is one of the most important methods in the qualitative researches. ‎Depending on researcher’s view on study phenomenon, this approach is divided into two main ‎methods of descriptive and interpretive. Despite the many similarities between the two methods, ‎th...

H ± phenomenology

In supersymmetric models with explicit breaking of R-parity the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) may be the lightest stau, τ̃1. Such a scenario would provide a clear sign of R-parity violating SUSY, although its phenomenology may resemble that of a charged Higgs boson, H. We discuss various ways of distinguishing a LSP τ̃1 from H ± at future colliders, and address the case of τ̃1 mimicking t...

Coloron Phenomenology

A flavor-universal extension of the strong interactions was recently proposed in response to the apparent excess of high-ET jets in the inclusive jet spectrum measured at the Tevatron. This paper studies the color octet of massive gauge bosons (‘colorons’) that is present in the low-energy spectrum of the model’s Higgs phase. Constraints from searches for new particles decaying to dijets and fr...

Clinical phenomenology.

The authors appreciate the assistance of Mary Ellen Wlvel, M.A., Science Writer, National Institute of Mental Health, In the preparation of this report. The ability to advance our knowledge about schizophrenia has been partially handicapped by our inability to define it precisely and consistently. There is no question that schizophrenia is a "real disorder" that produces severe and often persis...
