Information Technology at Cirque du Soleil: Looking Back, Moving Forward

What do information technologies (IT) have to do with running an artistic organization such as Cirque du Soleil? It turns out that they are critical to the success of the organization. The case is situated in 2008 when Cirque had developed an IT infrastructure supporting the entire process value chain from show creation to production and design, casting, and logistics needed for running its 17 ...

Le syndrome du soleil levant

Morning glory syndrome or rising sun is rare congenital anomaly of the papilla by emergence of the optic nerve in the eye. It is sometimes associated with serious anomalies of the central nervous system. It reaches preferentially girls and most often unilateral. The circumstances of the discovery may be strabismus, amblyopia, nystagmus, leucocoria or refractive disorder. This syndrome may also ...

Status of the Soleil Project1

During this year, the configuration of the ring has been defined (cell structure, periodicity, superperiodicity, length of the straight sections). A large number of operating points have been studied to reach, with a fair safety margin, the project's required performances. Special attention was paid to optimizing energy acceptance up to ± 4 %, leading to a maximized beam lifetime even at very h...

Hard diffraction at CDF

We present a CDF measurement of diffractive dijet production in p̄p collisions at 1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider using data from an integrated luminosity of ≈ 310 pb collected by triggering on a high transverse momentum jet in coincidence with a recoil antiproton detected in a roman pot spectrometer. We report final results for 4-momentum transfer squared t > −4 GeV, antiproton-momen...
