Evidence is presented for a state, which we call <, with a mass M = (8322 f 8 f 24) MeV and a line width < 80 MeV (90% confidence level) using the Crystal Ball NaI(T1) detector at DORIS II. Radiative transitions to this state are observed from about 100,000 Y(1S) decays in two independent sets of data: one in which < --* multiple hadrons, and one which is strongly biased towards < --) 2 low mul...

This report outlines Hungarian activities in geodesy for the period January 2003 to December 2006. It has been prepared for submission to the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) at its General Assembly in Perugia, Italy during the XXIVth General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) on July 2–13, 2007. It is issued on behalf of the IAG Section of the Hungar...

Earthquakes in India are caused by the release of elastic strain energy created and replenished by the stresses resulting from India’s collision with Asia. Accumulating strain distorts the surface of the Indian plate, which despite its slow development can now be detected using precision geodesy. The largest and most severe earthquakes occur on the boundaries of the Indian plate to the east, no...

Abs tract . After a brief description of the modern instrumentation used in Geodesy for the detection, of the deformations of the crust of the Earth, follow a list of problems and a discussion concerning the needs for the survey of -the physical quantities of in_ terest in geodesy, geology, geophysics and engineering such as the strain invariants, the optimal network of baselines and the ac_ cu...

The exhibition of the American Association for the Advancement of Science will this year be held at the Baker Hotel, Dallas, Texas, from December 29 through January 1, 1942. We again wish to express our appreciation for the cooperation that we have received from the exhibitors who have helped to maintain the high standards of the exhibition. Some institutions and concerns who have recently deci...

We present a novel optomechanical inertial sensor for low-frequency applications and corresponding acceleration measurements. This has resonant frequency of 4.715 (1) Hz, mechanical quality factor 4.76(3) × 105, test mass 2.6 g, projected noise floor approximately 5 10−11 ms−2/Hz at 1 Hz. Such performance, together with its small size, low weight, reduced power consumption, susceptibility to en...
