Security theory and practice: Education in the Armed Forces in Poland and in the World in the 21st Century: Selected Issues
Z wprowadzenia: "Gwałtowny postęp, który w XXI wieku objął tak wiele dziedzin życia, nie ominął także
sfery wojskowej. Siły zbrojne przechodzą bardzo szybkie przemiany pod wpływem
nowych osiągnięć naukowo-technicznych i poszukiwania najbardziej efektywnych
sposobów ich wykorzystania nie tylko w czasie wojny, ale także pokoju i kryzysu. To
wszystko stanowi duże wyzwanie dla twórców systemów kształcenia wojskowego,
które należy zorganizować tak, by zapewniały siłom zbrojnym kadrę przygotowaną do
sprostania współczesnym wymaganiom. Nie chodzi jedynie o naukę wykorzystania
nowych rozwiązań, ale także o tak oczywiste kwestie, jak budowa zdolności przywódczych
czy odporności na propagandę i dezinformację, aby nie powodowała ona olbrzymich
konsekwencji dla morale kadry dowódczej i szeregowych żołnierzy. Biorąc
to pod uwagę redaktorzy tomu, którzy zgodnie z dewizą periodyku starają się łączyć
teorię i praktykę bezpieczeństwa, uznali, że warto jest przybliżyć różne aspekty kształcenia
w siłach zbrojnych w Polsce i na świecie w XXI wieku."(...
Search for a Technicolor omega_T Particle in Events with a Photon and a b-quark Jet at CDF
If the Technicolor omega_T particle exists, a likely decay mode is omega_T ->
gamma pi_T, followed by pi_T -> bb-bar, yielding the signature gamma bb-bar. We
have searched 85 pb^-1 of data collected by the CDF experiment at the Fermilab
Tevatron for events with a photon and two jets, where one of the jets must
contain a secondary vertex implying the presence of a b quark. We find no
excess of events above standard model expectations. We express the result of an
exclusion region in the M_omega_T - M_pi_T mass plane.Comment: 14 pages, 2 figures. Available from the CDF server (PS with figs):

Observation of Hadronic W Decays in t-tbar Events with the Collider Detector at Fermilab
We observe hadronic W decays in t-tbar -> W (-> l nu) + >= 4 jet events using
a 109 pb-1 data sample of p-pbar collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.8 TeV collected with
the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF). A peak in the dijet invariant mass
distribution is obtained that is consistent with W decay and inconsistent with
the background prediction by 3.3 standard deviations. From this peak we measure
the W mass to be 77.2 +- 4.6 (stat+syst) GeV/c^2. This result demonstrates the
presence of two W bosons in t-tbar candidates in the W (-> l nu) + >= 4 jet
channel.Comment: 20 pages, 4 figures, submitted to PR
Search for Chargino-Neutralino Associated Production at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider
We have searched in collisions at = 1.8 TeV for events
with three charged leptons and missing transverse energy. In the Minimal
Supersymmetric Standard Model, we expect trilepton events from
chargino-neutralino (\chione \chitwo) pair production, with subsequent decay
into leptons. We observe no candidate , ,
or events in 106 pb integrated
luminosity. We present limits on the sum of the branching ratios times cross
section for the four channels: \sigma_{\chione\chitwo}\cdot
BR(\chione\chitwo\to 3\ell+X) 81.5 \mgev\sp and
M_\chitwo > 82.2 \mgev\sp for , ~\mgev\sp and
M_\squark= M_\gluino.Comment: 9 pages and 3 figure
Measurement of the lepton charge asymmetry in W-boson decays produced in p-pbar collisions
We describe a measurement of the charge asymmetry of leptons from W boson
decays in the rapidity range 0 enu, munu events from
110+/-7 pb^{-1}of data collected by the CDF detector during 1992-95. The
asymmetry data constrain the ratio of d and u quark momentum distributions in
the proton over the x range of 0.006 to 0.34 at Q2 \approx M_W^2. The asymmetry
predictions that use parton distribution functions obtained from previously
published CDF data in the central rapidity region (0.0<|y_l|<1.1) do not agree
with the new data in the large rapidity region (|y_l|>1.1).Comment: 13 pages, 3 tables, 1 figur
Measurement of the Associated Production Cross Section in Collisions at TeV
We present the first measurement of associated direct photon + muon
production in hadronic collisions, from a sample of 1.8 TeV
collisions recorded with the Collider Detector at Fermilab. Quantum
chromodynamics (QCD) predicts that these events are primarily from the Compton
scattering process , with the final state charm quark producing
a muon. Hence this measurement is sensitive to the charm quark content of the
proton. The measured cross section of is compared to a
leading-order QCD parton shower model as well as a next-to-leading-order QCD
calculation.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figures Added more detailed description of muon
background estimat
Measurement of the top quark mass and top-antitop production cross section from dilepton events at the Collider Detector at Fermilab
We present an analysis of dilepton events originating from top-antitop
production in proton-antiproton collisions at sqrt{s}=1.8 TeV at the Fermilab
Tevatron Collider. The sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 109+-7
pb^{-1}. We observe 9 candidate events, with an estimated background of
2.4+-0.5 events. We determine the mass of the top quark to be M_top =
161+-17(stat.)+-10(syst.) GeV/c^2. In addition we measure a top-antitop
production cross section of 8.2+4.4-3.4 pb (where M_top = 175 GeV/c^2 has been
assumed for the acceptance estimate).Comment: 6 pages of text, 3 figure
Search for second generation leptoquarks in the dimuon plus dijet channel of p-pbar collisions at sqrt{s}=1.8 TeV
We report on a search for second generation leptoquarks (Phi_2) using a data
sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 110 pb^{-1} collected at
the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We present upper limits on the production
cross section as a function of Phi_2 mass, assuming that the leptoquarks are
produced in pairs and decay into a muon and a quark with branching ratio beta.
Using a Next-to-Leading order QCD calculation, we extract a lower mass limit of
M_{\Phi_2} > 202 (160) GeV$/c^{2} at 95% confidence level for scalar
leptoquarks with beta=1(0.5).Comment: 11 pages, 2 figure
Search for New Particles Decaying to b bbar in p pbar Collisions at sqrt{s}=1.8 TeV
We have used 87 pb^-1 of data collected with the Collider Detector at
Fermilab to search for new particles decaying to b bbar. We present
model-independent upper limits on the cross section for narrow resonances which
excludes the color-octet technirho in the mass interval 350 < M < 440 GeV/c^2.
In addition, we exclude topgluons, predicted in models of topcolor-assisted
technicolor, of width Gamma = 0.3 M in the mass range 280 < M < 670 GeV/c^2, of
width Gamma = 0.5 M in the mass range 340 < M < 640 GeV/c^2, and of width Gamma
= 0.7 M in the mass range 375 < M < 560 GeV/c^2.Comment: 17 pages in a LaTex generated postscript file, with one table and
four figures. Resubmitted to Physical Review Letters. Minor clarifications
were added to the text. The displayed normalization of the resonance models
in Figure 2 was modified to correspond to our 95% CL upper limit on the cross
section (instead of arbitrary normalization which was used previously). All
results are identical to those in the previous submissio
Search for a W' Boson via the Decay Mode W' -> mu nu in 1.8 TeV p-pbar Collisions
We report the results of a search for a W' boson produced in p-pbar
collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.8 TeV using a 107 pb-1 data sample
recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We consider the decay channel W'
-> mu nu and search for anomalous production of high transverse mass mu-nu
lepton pairs. We observe no excess of events above background and set limits on
the rate of W' boson production and decay relative to Standard Model W boson
production and decay using a fit of the transverse mass distribution observed.
If we assume Standard Model strength couplings of the W' boson to quark and
lepton pairs, we exclude a W' boson with invariant mass less than 660 GeV/c**2
at 95% confidence level.Comment: 19 pages, 2 figure
