Recent Electroweak Results from the Tevatron

I present the recent electroweak measurements related to single W, Z boson and diboson productions from the CDF and D0 experiments at the Fermilab Tevatron collider.Comment: On the behalf of CDF and D0 collaborations, proceeding for 10th Conference on the Intersections of Particle and Nuclear Physic

Standard Model Condensates and the Cosmological Constant

This paper suggests a solution to the problem of some apparently excessive contributions to the cosmological constant from Standard-Model condensates

Extruded scintillator for the calorimetry applications

An extrusion line has been installed and successfully operated at FNAL (Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory) in collaboration with NICADD (Northern Illinois Center for Accelerator and Detector Development). This new Facility will serve to further develop and improve extruded plastic scintillator. Recently progress has been made in producing co-extruded plastic scintillator, thus increasing the potential HEP applications of this Facility. The current R&D work with extruded and co-extruded plastic scintillator for a potential ALICE upgrade, the ILC calorimetry program and the MINERvA experiment show the attractiveness of the chosen strategy for future experiments and calorimetry. We extensively discuss extruded and co-extruded plastic scintillator in calorimetry in synergy with new Solid State Photomultipliers. The characteristics of extruded and co-extruded plastic scintillator will be presented here as well as results with non-traditional photo read-out

Inelastic p p Scattering at 200-GeV/c

The authors have measured the doubly differential cross section sd{sup 2}{sigma}/dtdM{sup 2} for the reaction p + p {yields} p + X using 200 GeV incident protons in the external beam at the National Accelerator Laboratory. Here t is the square of the four momentum transfer to the target proton, M{sup 2} is the mass squared of X, and s is the total center of mass energy squared. They cover the region of 0.019 < |t| < 0.19 GeV{sup 2} and 1 < M{sup 2} < 60 GeV{sup 2}. Interesting structure is observed at low |t| and M{sup 2} values
