Super-Kamiokande atmospheric neutrinos: Status of subdominant oscillations
In the context of the recent (79.5 kTy) Super-Kamiokande atmospheric neutrino
data, we concisely review the status of muonic-tauonic flavor oscillations and
of the subdominant electron or sterile neutrino mixing, in schemes with three
or four families and one dominant mass scale. In the three-family case, where
we include the full CHOOZ spectral data, we also show, through a specific
example, that ``maximal'' violations of the one-dominant mass scale
approximation are not ruled out yet.Comment: 8 pages + 10 figure
Two-directional-flow, axial-motion-joint flow liner
Flow liner eliminates high-cycle fatigue in ducts carrying cryogenic fluids. It is capable of handling two-directional, high-velocity cryogenic liquid flow with a 3-inch axial motion without binding within a 25-inch length
The measurement of velocity gradients in laminar flow by homodyne light-scattering spectroscopy
A technique for measuring velocity gradients in laminar flows by homodyne light
scattering is presented. A theory which describes the light-scattering spectrum is
derived that includes the effects of different types of linear flow fields, particle diffusion
and the intensity profile in the scattering volume. The conditions which must be
satisfied in order that the theory describe the experimental situation are outlined and
complementary experiments are performed which both verify the theory and apply
the technique. Verification is provided using the flow in a Couette device, and the flow
due to single rotating cylinder in a large bath of fluid. The technique is then applied
to measure the spatial variation of the shear rate in a four-roll mill
