We propose the first event-by-event directional antineutrino detector using inverse beta decay (IBD) interactions on hydrogen, with potential applications including monitoring for nuclear nonproliferation, spatially mapping geoneutrinos, characterizing the diffuse supernova neutrino background and searching for new physics in the neutrino sector. The detector consists of adjacent and separated ...

The direct detection of dark matter is central to particle physics and cosmology. Current fashionable supersymmetric models provide a natural dark matter candidate which is the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). Such models combined with fairly well understood physics like the quark substructure of the nucleon and the structure of the nucleus (form factor and/or spin response function), pe...

A model for total cross sections with virtual photons is presented. In particular γp and γγ cross sections are considered. Our approach extends on a model for photoproduction, where the total cross section is subdivided into three distinct event classes: direct, VMD and anomalous. With increasing photon virtuality, the latter two decrease in importance. Instead Deep Inelastic Scattering dominat...

This paper discusses/presents problems of template structure for Information Extraction. We investigate these problems in the context of two new Information Extraction scenarios which are linguistically and structurally more challenging than the traditional MUC scenarios. By a scenario we mean a predefined set of facts to be extracted from text. Traditional views on event structure and template...

A brief review is given of the effects of CP violation on the direct detection of neutralinos in dark matter detectors. We first summarize the current developments using the cancellation mechanism which allows for the existence of large CP violating phases consistent with experimental limits on the electron and on the neutron electric dipole moments in a broad class of SUSY, string and D brane ...

We discuss a class of event shapes for ee dijet events that include the thrust as a special case. Large logarithmic corrections to the corresponding cross sections can be resummed to all logarithmic orders at leading power. However, irrespective of the order up to which the perturbative expansion is calculated, it has to be supplemented by nonperturbative corrections due to its at best asymptot...

The accurate knowledge of luminosity at ee flavour factories requires the precision calculation of the Bhabha cross section at large scattering angles. In order to achieve a theoretical accuracy at the 0.1% level, the relevant effect of QED radiative corrections is taken into account in the framework of the Parton Shower method, which allows exclusive event generation. On this scheme, a Monte C...

Many studies have found that the perceived authenticity of cultural and religious events affects event satisfaction and loyalty. Little is currently known about how perceived authenticity is affected by the facilities, such as food and the availability of information, which are independent determinants of satisfaction and loyalty. This study aims to examine the antecedents of event loyalty. Que...

This paper presents an in situ operando approach that allows characterization of lithium-ion battery electrodes. A MEMS sensor is designed and integrated with a commercially available Raman spectroscope to enable monitoring the stress and structural changes in the electrodes. An interferometric method with an enhanced image processing algorithm is applied for analyzing the crystal phase-depende...

introduction: scatter radiation is one of the major sources of error in nuclear medicine data processing. different methods of scatter correction have been introduced in order to improve the quality of data. however the best method is to avoid recording of scatter photons in acquisition. the only difference between scattered and non-scattered photons is the energy. pulse height analyzer is the ...
