collective and thermal signatures in Ï4he interaction in the ÎŽ excitation energy region
Measurement of the in-medium modifications of the Î resonance has been performed at a PAINUC experiment. Signatures of the excitation of nuclear collective states and the first experimental evidence for thermal emission of photons have been obtained from the analysis of the ϱ 4He data taken at TÏ =106 MeV
Nuclear matter and Îœ properties from Ï induced reactions and decays
Measurement of the in-medium modifications of the â resonance, signatures of the excitation of nuclear collective states and the first experimental evidence for a thermal emission of photons have been obtained from the analysis of new ϱ 4He data at TÏ =106 MeV at PAINUC with the PAINUC experiment at JINR. Experimental limits on the direct measurement of the muon neutrino mass is also being studied: the pion mass resolution, at present 350 eV, heavily constrains the accessible mÎœ sector above 419 keV/c2

Close Encounters with Heisenberg: Uncertainty in secondary school
In this paper we present a pedagogical strategy to introduce the Heisenberg uncertainty principle to high school students. The basis on which this proposal relies is the Fourier transform, connecting the quantum function in the x domain, Κ(x), with the function in the wave number domain, A(k). This mathematical relationship directly leads to the uncertainty principle: a state localized in the former domain will present an inversely proportional dispersion in the latter domain. Since in acoustic we have an analog situation we can carry out experiments with sounds leading students to the understanding of the uncertainty relation. In our approach a slightly modified musical theme from the Steven Spielberg movie âClose Encounters of the Third Kindâ is the starting point to reach the uncertainty relation.Fil: Galanternik, Laura Irene.

Conventional and algorithmic music listening before radiotherapy treatment: A randomized controlled pilot study
Music listening is a widespread approach in the field of music therapy. In this study, the effects of music listening on anxiety and stress in patients undergoing radiotherapy are investigated. Sixty patients with breast cancer who were candidates for postoperative curative radiotherapy were recruited and randomly assigned to three groups: Melomics-Health (MH) group (music listening algorithmically created, n = 20); individualized music listening (IML) group (playlist of preferred music, n = 20); no music group (n = 20). Music listening was administered for 15 min immediately before simulation and during the first five radiotherapy sessions. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Psychological Distress Inventory (PDI) were administered before/after treatment. Cochranâs Q test and McNemar test for paired proportions were performed to evaluate if the proportion of subjects having an outcome score below the critical value by treatment and over time was different, and if there was a change in that proportion. The MH group improved in STAI and PDI. The IML group worsened in STAI at T1 and improved STAI-Trait at T2. The IML group worsened in PDI at T2. The No music group generally improved in STAI and PDI. Clinical and music listening-related implications are discussed defining possible research perspectives in this field
On the muon neutrino mass
During the runs of the PS 179 experiment at LEAR of CERN, we photographed an
event of antiproton-Ne absorption, with a complete pi+ -> mu+ ->e+ chain. From
the vertex of the reaction a very slow energy pi+ was emitted. The pi+ decays
into a mu+ and subsequently the mu+ decays into a positron. At the first decay
vertex a muon neutrino was emitted and at the second decay vertex an electron
neutrino and a muon antineutrino. Measuring the pion and muon tracks and
applying the momentum and energy conservation and using a classical statistical
interval estimator, we obtained an experimental upper limit for the muon
neutrino mass: m_nu < 2.2 MeV at a 90% confidence level. A statistical analysis
has been performed of the factors contributing to the square value of the
neutrino mass limit.Comment: 18 pages, 5 eps figure
