New Hadroproduction results from the HARP / PS 214 experiment at CERN PS

The HARP experiment at the CERN Proton Synchroton has collected data for hadroproduction measurements with a large set of targets, ranging from hydrogen to lead, in the momentum range 3.0-15 GeV/c, covering an extended angular range (0.025 ≤ θ ≤ 2.15 rad) with a redundant particle identification. Obtained results may be used for the tuning of neutrino beamline simulations, going from convention...

At the Interface of Math and

Paul Atzberger, a professor in UCSB's Department of Mathematics and in mechanical engineering. In popular culture, mathematics is often deemed inaccessible or esoteric. Yet in the modern world, it plays an ever more important role in our daily lives and a decisive role in the discovery and development of new ideas — often behind the scenes.

Joint PP-PS inversion at Pikes Peak oilfield, Saskatchewan

The method of simultaneous PP-PS inversion has recently been developed and tested on the 3-D Blackfoot seismic data set. This paper shows the application of this method on 3C-2D seismic data from Pikes Peak oilfield. The inversion was accomplished with a newly installed inversion module in ProMAX. After careful prestack processing, five limitedoffset stacked sections for each of the vertical an...

K2k (kek to Kamioka) Neutrino-oscillation Experiment at Kek-ps * )

In recent years, several underground neutrino observatories 1) 3) have reported that the atmospheric neutrino ratio, R ≡ (νμ + ν̄μ)/(νe + ν̄e), is significantly smaller than the theoretical expectations. This “atmospheric neutrino anomaly” can be explained by a neutrino oscillation hypothesis with an oscillation parameter region of ∆m2 ∼ 10−2eV2 and sin 2θ ∼ 1. The atmospheric neutrino anomaly ha...
