Pyrolysis Combustion Flow Calorimetry Studies on Some Reactively Modified Polymers

As a part of our continuing work to improve the flame retardance of some chain-growth polymers, by employing a reactive route, we have synthesized several unsaturated compounds containing either phosphorus (P), or both phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N), bearing groups in different chemical environments. They included: diethyl(acryloyloxymethyl)phosphonate (DEAMP); diethyl(1-acryloyloxyethyl)phosp...

Track-Based Particle Flow

One of the most important aspects of detector development for the ILC is a good jet energy resolution σE/E. To achieve the goal of high precision measurements σE/E = 0.30/ √ E(GeV) is proposed. The particle flow approach together with highly granular calorimeters is able to reach this goal. This paper presents a new particle flow algorithm, called TrackBased particle flow, and shows first perfo...

Gravitational Calorimetry

I generalize the quasilocal formulation of thermodynamics of Brown and York to include dilaton theories of gravity as well as Abelian and Yang-Mills gauge matter fields with possible dilaton couplings. The resulting formulation is applicable to a large class of theories including two-dimensional toy models and the low energy limit of string theory as well as to many types of matter such as mass...
