Measurement of the double longitudinal spin asymmetry in inclusive jet production in polarized p+p collisions at √ s = 200 GeV Abstract We present preliminary results for the first measurements of the double longitudinal spin asymmetry A LL in inclusive jet production at mid-rapidity in polarized proton-proton collisions at √ s = 200 GeV. The data amount to ∼ 0.5 pb −1 collected at RHIC in 2003...

We present the results on the mid-rapidity φ meson production in the K + K − decay channel in Au + Au collisions at √ s N N = 200 GeV measured by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC. The spectral shape of the φ resonance, studied at different collision centralities, is consistent with the particle data book. The transverse mass spectra are measured in four centrality bins. The inverse slopes (T), yie...

We present a high-resolution study of the isotropic to nematic phase transition of a low birefringence liquid-crystal compound incorporating an aerosil gel. Calorimetry, light scattering, and microscopy data coherently combine to allow for an accurate determination of the temperature dependence of the onset of the nematic state. The nematic order develops on cooling through two distinct process...

The new generation of multimedia applications demands new features and new mechanisms for proper performance. ATM technology has moved from concept to reality, delivering very high bandwidths and new capabilities to the data link layer user. In an effort to anticipate the high bandwidth-delay data link layer, Delta-t [Delta-t], NETBLT [RFC 988], and VMTP [RFC 1045] were developed. The excellent...

Definition A vector whose elements are stacked vertically is known as a column vector, or simply a vector. Its transpose is called a row vector. λ 1 x 1 + · · · + λ k x k = 0 In other words, they are linearly dependent if at least one of them can be written as a linear combination of the others. Definition A set of vectors are called linearly independent if they are not linearly dependent. are ...
