Beam-Beam Effects in the SPS Proton-Anti Proton Collider
During the proton-anti proton collider run several experiments were carried
out in order to understand the effect of the beam-beam interaction on
backgrounds and lifetimes. In this talk a selection of these experiments will
be presented. From these experiments, the importance of relative beam sizes and
tune ripple could be demonstrated.Comment: 3 pages, contribution to the ICFA Mini-Workshop on Beam-Beam Effects

Measurement of the electroweak production of a Z boson and two jets in proton-proton collisions at 7 and 8 TeV
A measurement of the electroweak production cross section of a Z boson and
two jets is performed using proton-proton collision data at centre-of-mass
energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The data is collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC
with an integrated luminosity of 5 and 19 fb, respectively. A study on
the hadronic activity between the two tagging jets is also presented.Comment: Proceedings for LHCP201
Quark-gluon Jet Discrimination At CMS
Many physics analyses at the LHC are looking into processes where the signal
jets are originating from quarks, while jets in the background are more gluon
enriched. Based on observables sensitive to fundamental differences in the
fragmentation properties of gluons and quarks, a likelihood discriminant is
constructed to distinguish between jets originating from quarks and gluons. The
performance of the tagger is evaluated using Z+jets and dijet events produced
in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, recorded by
the CMS experiment at the LHC.Comment: Proceedings for LHCP201

Locke's Criterion for the Reality of Ideas: Unambiguous but Untenable
The paper argues against the claim held, e.g., by Leibniz, that Locke employs a double standard for determining whether an object before the mind (i.e., an idea) is real. Using Locke's ectype-archetype distinction it is shown that this charge is the result of confusing Locke's criterion of reality with its application. Depending on whether it applies to a simple, substance or mode idea, the criterion works out differently. Next it is argued that although Locke maintains only a single criterion, this criterion is untenable, since it fails to properly distinguish real from fantastical ideas
Hague Conference Conventions and the United States: A European View
From a European perspective, international cooperation in litigation does not primarily require the safeguarding of governmental interests, but the equitable balancing of the interests of plaintiffs and defendants. A European view of the role of US procedures in Hague Conference conventions is presented
