We investigate the muon anomalous magnetic dipole moment (MDM), the muon electric dipole moment (EDM) and the lepton-flavour-violating decays of the τ−lepton, τ → μγ and τ → 3μ, in the CP-violating Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with nonuniversal softsupersymmetry breaking. We evaluate numerically the muon EDM and the branching ratios B(τ → μγ) and B(τ → 3μ), after taking into acc...

Yannis K. Semertzidis, BNL, October 2011 for the Storage Ring EDM Collaboration The storage ring EDM collaboration by the time of the workshop is expecting to have submitted a proposal to DOE for a proton EDM experiment sensitive to 10−29e · cm, see [1]. The method utilizes polarized protons at the, so-called “magic” momentum of 0.7 GeV/c in an all-electric storage ring. At this momentum, the p...

During these last years, the evolution of the machining speed of the EDM processes has become a key challenge for this technology. The recent progress made on the spark generators leads to a higher production speed in all processes such wire EDM, die-sinking, drilling, milling, etc. Nevertheless, if the electrical process is developing fast, many limiting factors still remain under investigatio...

We present measurements of Stark interference in the 6S0 → 6P1 transition in Hg, a process whereby a static electric field E mixes magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole couplings into an electric dipole transition, leading to E-linear energy shifts similar to those produced by a permanent atomic electric dipole moment (EDM). The measured interference amplitude, aSI = (aM1 + aE2) = (5.8 ± 1.5)...

Nowadays, Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) has become one of the most extensively used non-traditional material removal process. Its unique feature of using thermal energy to machine hard to machine electrically conductive materials is its distinctive advantage in the manufacturing of moulds, dies and aerospace components. Howevere, EDM is a costly process and hence proper selection of its ...

Although apoptotic phenomena have been observed in malignant cells infected by measles virus vaccine strain Edmonston B (MV-Edm), the precise oncolytic mechanisms are poorly defined. In this study we found that MV-Edm induced autophagy and sequestosome 1-mediated mitophagy leading to decreased cytochrome c release, which blocked the pro-apoptotic cascade in non-small cell lung cancer cells (NSC...

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is well established machining technique mainly used to machine complex geometries on difficult-to-machine materials and high strength temperature resistant alloys. In the present research, the objective is to study the shape of the electrode and establish the application of liquid nitrogen in reducing distortion of the electrode during electrical discharge m...

We study the effect of the ”chromo-electric” dipole moment on the electric dipole moment(EDM) of the neutron in the two Higgs doublet model. We systematically investigate the Weinberg’s operator O3g = GGG̃ and the operator Oqg = qσG̃q, in the cases of tanβ ≫ 1, tanβ ≪ 1 and tan β ≃ 1. It is shown that Osg gives the main contribution to the neutron EDM compared to the other operators, and also tha...

Data mining techniques are used to extract useful knowledge from raw data. The extracted knowledge is valuable and significantly affects the decision maker. Educational data mining (EDM) is a method for extracting useful information that could potentially affect an organization. The increase of technology use in educational systems has led to the storage of large amounts of student data, which ...

Planetary or Orbital tool actuation is one of the process improvement techniques used in Electro Discharge Machining (EDM) process which has multi facetted advantages.
