Reflective scattering effects in double-pomeron exchange processes
We discuss energy dependence of rapidity gap survival probability in the
double-pomeron exchange processes with account of the reflective scattering
effects.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figure
Outstanding problems in the phenomenology of hard diffractive scattering
This paper is a summary of the discussion within the Diffractive and Low-x
Physics Working Group at the 1999 Durham Collider Workshop of the
interpretation of the Tevatron and HERA measurements of inclusive hard
diffraction.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure. Talks and discussions from the UK Phenomenology

Accelerator performance analysis of the Fermilab Muon Campus
Fermilab is dedicated to hosting world-class experiments in search of new
physics that will operate in the coming years. The Muon g-2 Experiment is one
such experiment that will determine with unprecedented precision the muon
anomalous magnetic moment, which offers an important test of the Standard
Model. We describe in this study the accelerator facility that will deliver a
muon beam to this experiment. We first present the lattice design that allows
for efficient capture, transport, and delivery of polarized muon beams. We then
numerically examine its performance by simulating pion production in the
target, muon collection by the downstream beam line optics, as well as
transport of muon polarization. We finally establish the conditions required
for the safe removal of unwanted secondary particles that minimizes
contamination of the final beam.Comment: 10 p
Measurement of Direct Photon Emission in K^+ -> pi^+ pi^0 gamma Decay
We have performed a measurement of the K^+ -> pi^+ pi^0 gamma decay and have
observed 2 X 10^4 events. The best fit to the decay spectrum gives a branching
ratio for direct photon emission of (4.7\pm0.8\pm0.3) X 10^{-6} in the pi^+
kinetic energy region of 55 to 90 MeV and requires no component due to
interference with inner bremsstrahlung.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures. To be submitted to PR
