Atmospheric Opacity at the VLA

It is important to quantify the atmospheric opacity at the VLA in order to aid in interpretation of data taken at high frequencies. In addition, in the near future it is envisioned that dynamic scheduling will be used in order to select observing programs. Atmospheric opacity will be an important input parameter into dynamic scheduling. In the absence of a dedicated instrument to measure the at...

Non-Abelian energy loss at finite opacity.

A systematic expansion in opacity, L/lambda, is used to clarify the nonlinear behavior of induced gluon radiation in quark-gluon plasmas. The inclusive differential gluon distribution is calculated up to second order in opacity and compared to the zeroth order (factorization) limit. The opacity expansion makes it possible to take finite kinematic constraints into account that suppress jet quenc...

Rout/Rsid and Opacity at RHIC

One of the most dramatic results from the first RHIC run are the STAR results for π±π± interferometry. They showed that the ratio of the so-called Rout and Rsid radii seem to decrease below unity for increasing transverse momentum of the pair (KT ). This was subsequently confirmed by PHENIX. We consider here the effects of opacity of the nuclei on this ratio, and find that such a small value is...

Hotel Metropolitan Sendai , Sendai , Japan

Social cognition or behaviors are, by definition, highly influenced by society and culture. Therefore, I dare to add “in Japan” in the title of my presentation. However, I believe that western societies and Japan share some values and principles hoping that the key points of my talk will be appreciated. In the first part, I will talk about moral emotions. Moral emotions (guilt, shame and embarr...
