We present a general overview of recent QCD results at hadronic colliders. 1 Proton structure function measurements 1.1 Structure function measurements at HERA The H1 and ZEUS experiments at HERA, at DESY, Hamburg, Germany allow to probe directly the quark and gluon contents of the proton by measuring F 2 , the proton structure function in bins of x, the proton momentum fraction carried by the ...

Statistical methods based on ranking are known to be versatile and powerful techniques. Nonparametric rank tests for two-way analysis of variance have been studied by several authors, for example: rank transform (RT ) proposed by Conover and Iman (1981); asymptotic theory of RT discussed by Hora and Conover (1984), Akritas (1990) and Thompson and Ammann (1990). McKean and Vidman (1994) suggeste...

Experimental tests in prototype are necessary to understand the dynamic behaviour of the machine during different operating points. Hydraulic phenomena as well as its effect on the structure need to be studied in order to avoid instabilities during operation and to extend the lifetime of the different components. For this purpose, a complete experimental study of a large Francis turbine prototy...

Lorentz invariance, fundamental to Relativity and the Standard Model, has been thoroughly investigated both theoretically and experimentally in the past 15 years. This investigation, motivated in large by attempts to unify gravity with the Standard Model through quantum gravity, has led to strict constraints on the nature and size of a violation. A historical perspective of Lorentz’s work, a br...

Realistic quantum gates operate at non-vanishing noise levels. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the performance of each device according to some experimentally observable criteria of device performance. In this presentation, the characteristic properties of quantum operations are discussed and efficient measurement strategies are proposed.
