GEONEUTRINO ANALYSIS IN KamLAND: INPUT AND DESIDERATA
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Kamioka Liquid scintillator Anti-Neutrino Detector (KamLAND) is collecting antineutrino events generated by nuclear reactors and by Thorium and Uranium decay in the Earth interior. We comment on a systematic approach to the evaluation of the geo-neutrino contribution and of its uncertainties in KamLAND, taking into account geophysical and geochemical indications, estimates, and data. The results can help to improve both the neutrino oscillation analysis and the knowledge of the Earth interior. Input and desiderata for future geoneutrino analyses are identified.

Some Desiderata for Liberal Supertrees
Although a variety of supertree methods has been proposed, our understanding of these methods is limited. In turn, this limits the potential for biologists who seek to construct supertrees to make informed choices among the available methods. In this chapter we distinguish between supertree methods that offer a conservative synthesis of the relationships that are agreed upon or uncontradicted b...
متن کاملSome Computational Desiderata for Recognizing and Reasoning About the Intentions of Others
Reasoning about intentional action is a pervasive and critical skill in the human cognitive repertoire. Intentions have taken center-stage in discussions of how humans parse perceptual input, understand language, make moral judgments, and predict the behavior of conspecifics. In the quest to engineer machine intelligence, intentions have largely either been ignored entirely, or have been given ...
متن کاملRationalizing Neural Predictions
Prediction without justification has limited applicability. As a remedy, we learn to extract pieces of input text as justifications – rationales – that are tailored to be short and coherent, yet sufficient for making the same prediction. Our approach combines two modular components, generator and encoder, which are trained to operate well together. The generator specifies a distribution over te...
متن کاملBetween Belief Bases and Belief Sets: Partial Meet Contraction
In belief revision, the result of a contraction should be a logically closed set (closure) such that the input is not inferred (success). Traditionally, these two postulates depend on the same consequence operator. The present work investigates the consequences of using two different consequence operators for each of these desiderata: the classic Cn to compute success and a second weaker operat...
متن کاملPixel-Level Image Fusion: The Case of Image Sequences
In pixel-level image sequence fusion, a composite image sequence has to be built of several spatially registered input image sequences. One of the primary goals in image sequence fusion is the temporal stability and consistency of the fused image sequence. To fulfill the preceding desiderata, we propose a novel approach based on a shift invariant extension of the 2D discrete wavelet transform, ...
