Cross-sections of large-angle hadron production in proton-- and pion--nucleus interactions VIII: aluminium nuclei and beam momenta from {\pm}3 GeV/c to {\pm}15 GeV/c
We report on double-differential inclusive cross-sections of the production
of secondary protons, charged pions, and deuterons, in the interactions with a
5% {\lambda}int thick stationary aluminium target, of proton and pion beams
with momentum from \pm3 GeV/c to \pm15 GeV/c. Results are given for secondary
particles with production angles between 20 and 125 degrees. Cross-sections on
aluminium nuclei are compared with cross-sections on beryllium, carbon, copper,
tin, tantalum and lead nuclei.Comment: 71 pages, 16 figures, 47 table

Cross-Sections of Large-Angle Hadron Production in Proton- and Pion-Nucleus Interactions III: Tantalum Nuclei and Beam Momenta from +/-3 Gev/c to +/-15 Gev/c

of particular relevance for the optimization of the design parameters of the
proton driver of a neutrino factory.Comment: 68 pages, 12 figures, corrections in v2: added 'HARP -CDP group' to

Revisiting the 'LSND anomaly' II: critique of the data analysis
This paper, together with a preceding paper, questions the so-called 'LSND
anomaly': a 3.8 sigma excess of antielectronneutrino interactions over standard
backgrounds, observed by the LSND Collaboration in a beam dump experiment with
800 MeV protons. That excess has been interpreted as evidence for the
antimuonneutrino to antielectronneutrino oscillation in the \Deltam2 range from
0.2 eV2 to 2 eV2. Such a \Deltam2 range is incompatible with the widely
accepted model of oscillations between three light neutrino species and would
require the existence of at least one light 'sterile' neutrino. In a preceding
paper, it was concluded that the estimates of standard backgrounds must be
significantly increased. In this paper, the LSND Collaboration's estimate of
the number of antielectronneutrino interactions followed by neutron capture,
and of its error, is questioned. The overall conclusion is that the
significance of the 'LSND anomaly' is not larger than 2.3 sigma.Comment: 30 pages, 16 figures, 6 table
GAPDH binders as potential drugs for the therapy of polyglutamine diseases: Design of a new screening assay
AbstractProteins with long polyglutamine repeats form a complex with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), which enhances aggregation and cytotoxicity in models of Huntington disease. The aim of this study was to develop a novel assay for the screening of anti-aggregation compounds with a focus on the aggregation-promoting capacity of GAPDH. The assay includes a pure Q58 polyglutamine fragment, GAPDH, and a transglutaminase that links the two proteins. The feasibility of the new assay was verified using two GAPDH binders, hydroxynonenal and −(−)deprenyl, and the benzothiazole derivative PGL-135 which exhibits anti-aggregation effect. All three substances were shown to reduce aggregation and cytotoxicity in the cell and in the fly model of Spinocerebellar ataxia
Reply to 'Corrections to the HARP-CDP Analysis of the LSND Neutrino Oscillation Backgrounds'
The alleged mistakes in recent papers that reanalyze the backgrounds to the
'LSND anomaly' do not exist. We maintain our conclusion that the significance
of the 'LSND anomaly' is not 3.8 sigma but not larger than 2.3 sigma.Comment: 3 page
Why the paper CERN-PH-EP-2009-015 (arXiv:0903.4762) is scientifically unacceptable
The paper CERN-PH-EP-2009-015 (arXiv:0903.4762) by A. Bagulya et al. violates
standards of quality of work and scientific ethics on several counts. The paper
contains assertions that contradict established detector physics. The paper
falls short of proving the correctness of the authors' concepts and results.
The paper ignores or quotes misleadingly pertinent published work. The paper
ignores the fact that the authors' concepts and results have already been shown
wrong in the published literature. The authors seem unaware that cross-section
results from the 'HARP Collaboration' that are based on the paper's concepts
and algorithms are in gross disagreement with the results of a second analysis
of the same data, and with the results of other experiments.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figure
