    Roth (François), Robert Schuman 1886-1963. Du Lorrain des frontiùres au pùre de l’Europe

    Get PDF
    Bien connu pour sa belle thĂšse sur la Lorraine annexĂ©e 1870-1918 et ses livres sur La Guerre de 70 et Raymond PoincarĂ©, François Roth publie un ouvrage comblant une lacune dans une bibliographie abondante qui porte essentiellement sur la politique europĂ©enne de Robert Schuman. GrĂące Ă  une connaissance approfondie de la Moselle entre 1870 et 1970, il replace magistralement le futur « pĂšre de l’Europe » dans son terroir lorrain, celui de la Lorraine thionvilloise Ă©troitement liĂ©e au Luxembourg...

    Max Weber et la question de la dĂ©mocratisation des institutions politiques de l’Allemagne (1917-1918)

    Get PDF
    Pessimiste sur l’issue de la guerre, Max Weber est persuadĂ© qu’on ne peut mobiliser la population dans l’effort de guerre, puis dans la reconstruction de l’Allemagne qu’il prĂ©voit difficile, qu’en rĂ©formant immĂ©diatement le rĂ©gime politique. Aussi mĂšne-t-il Ă  partir de mars 1917, et jusqu’à la fin de la guerre, une campagne de presse souvent violente en faveur de la dĂ©mocratisation du mode de scrutin prussien et de la parlementarisation du Reich. Il s’interroge aussi, dans la continuitĂ© de ses rĂ©flexions d’avant-guerre sur la bureaucratisation croissante de la sociĂ©tĂ© moderne, sur les solutions institutionnelles permettant de concilier la nĂ©cessitĂ© d’une bureaucratie efficace avec la lĂ©gitimitĂ© de la dĂ©mocratie de masse. Il se prononce pour une monarchie parlementaire avec un parlement renforcĂ©, contrepoids Ă  la bureaucratie publique et lieu de formation et de sĂ©lection des chefs politiques, mĂȘme s’il insiste dĂšs 1917 sur l’aspect « plĂ©biscitaire » inĂ©vitable de la sĂ©lection des chefs dans la dĂ©mocratie de masse. AprĂšs la chute de la monarchie, il se prononce pour un prĂ©sident de la RĂ©publique Ă©lu au suffrage universel, dont la lĂ©gitimitĂ© charismatique ferait contrepoids Ă  la bureaucratie, mais avec un parlement fort comme garde-fou contre un pouvoir personnel. Il rejette son Ă©lection au suffrage proportionnel qui le rendrait inefficace, et le rĂ©fĂ©rendum qui renforcerait le conservatisme et le pouvoir de la bureaucratie.As he is pessimistic about the outcome of the war, Max Weber is convinced that the population can’t be mobilized in the war effort and then in the reconstruction of Germany — which he predicts to be difficult — unless the political regime is reformed immediately. That’s why, from March 1917 to the end of the war, he leads a rather harsh press campaign in favour of the democratization of the voting system of Prussia and the change towards a parliamentary system of the Reich. Developing his pre-war ideas about the growing bureaucratization of modern society, he also wonders about the institutional solutions which would allow reconciling the necessity of an efficient bureaucracy with the legitimacy of mass democracy. He favours a parliamentary monarchy with a reinforced Parliament acting as a counterbalance to public bureaucracy and being a place for training and selecting political leaders; yet, as early as 1917, he insists on the inevitable “plebiscitary” aspect of the selection of the leaders in mass democracy. After the fall of the monarchy, he favours a President of the Republic elected by universal suffrage — the charismatic legitimacy of which would counterbalance bureaucracy — along with a strong parliament as a safeguard against personal power. He rejects both the idea of an election by proportional representation which would make the parliament inefficient, and the idea of a referendum which would reinforce conservatism and the power of bureaucracy

    Le titre de l’ouvrage est en partie trompeur, car Ă  peine plus d’un tiers du texte porte sur la perception « altdeutsch » de l’Alsace-Lorraine pendant la PremiĂšre Guerre mondiale. Les deux premiĂšres parties sont consacrĂ©es Ă  la pĂ©riode 1870-1914, de l’enthousiasme de l’annexion aux dĂ©ceptions sur l’attitude de la population, et Ă  la propagande de guerre française et allemande sur l’Alsace-Lorraine.

    Performance of the CMS Cathode Strip Chambers with Cosmic Rays

    Get PDF
    The Cathode Strip Chambers (CSCs) constitute the primary muon tracking device in the CMS endcaps. Their performance has been evaluated using data taken during a cosmic ray run in fall 2008. Measured noise levels are low, with the number of noisy channels well below 1%. Coordinate resolution was measured for all types of chambers, and fall in the range 47 microns to 243 microns. The efficiencies for local charged track triggers, for hit and for segments reconstruction were measured, and are above 99%. The timing resolution per layer is approximately 5 ns

    Performance and Operation of the CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter

    Get PDF
    The operation and general performance of the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter using cosmic-ray muons are described. These muons were recorded after the closure of the CMS detector in late 2008. The calorimeter is made of lead tungstate crystals and the overall status of the 75848 channels corresponding to the barrel and endcap detectors is reported. The stability of crucial operational parameters, such as high voltage, temperature and electronic noise, is summarised and the performance of the light monitoring system is presented

    Search for Physics beyond the Standard Model in Events with Overlapping Photons and Jets

    Get PDF
    Results are reported from a search for new particles that decay into a photon and two gluons, in events with jets. Novel jet substructure techniques are developed that allow photons to be identified in an environment densely populated with hadrons. The analyzed proton-proton collision data were collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, in 2016 at root s = 13 TeV, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb(-1). The spectra of total transverse hadronic energy of candidate events are examined for deviations from the standard model predictions. No statistically significant excess is observed over the expected background. The first cross section limits on new physics processes resulting in such events are set. The results are interpreted as upper limits on the rate of gluino pair production, utilizing a simplified stealth supersymmetry model. The excluded gluino masses extend up to 1.7 TeV, for a neutralino mass of 200 GeV and exceed previous mass constraints set by analyses targeting events with isolated photons.Peer reviewe

    Calibration of the CMS hadron calorimeters using proton-proton collision data at root s=13 TeV

    Get PDF
    Methods are presented for calibrating the hadron calorimeter system of theCMSetector at the LHC. The hadron calorimeters of the CMS experiment are sampling calorimeters of brass and scintillator, and are in the form of one central detector and two endcaps. These calorimeters cover pseudorapidities vertical bar eta vertical bar ee data. The energy scale of the outer calorimeters has been determined with test beam data and is confirmed through data with high transverse momentum jets. In this paper, we present the details of the calibration methods and accuracy.Peer reviewe
