A New Upper Limit for the Tau-Neutrino Magnetic Moment
Using a prompt neutrino beam in which a nu_tau component was identified for
the first time, the nu_tau magnetic moment was measured based on a search for
an anomalous increase in the number of neutrino-electron interactions. One such
event was observed when 2.3 were expected from background processes, giving an
upper 90% confidence limit of 3.9x10^-7 Bohr magnetons.Comment: 9 pages; 1 figur
J/Psi Suppression in Heavy Ion Collisions at the CERN SPS
We reexamine the production of J/Psi and other charmonium states for a
variety of target-projectile choices at the SPS. For this study we use a newly
constructed cascade code LUCIFER II, which yields acceptable descriptions of
both hard and soft processes, specifically Drell-Yan and hidden charm
production, and soft energy loss and meson production, at the SPS. Glauber
calculations of other authors are redone, and compared directly to the cascade
results. The modeling of the charmonium states differs from that of earlier
workers in its unified treatment of the hidden charm meson spectrum, which is
introduced from the outset as a set of coupled states. The result is a
description of the NA38 and NA50 data in terms of a conventional hadronic
picture. The apparently anomalous suppression found in the most massive Pb+Pb
system arises from three sources: destruction in the initial nucleon-nucleon
cascade, use of coupled channels to exploit the larger breakup in the less
bound Chi and Psi' states, and comover interaction in the final low energy
phase.Comment: 36 pages (15 figures
Observation of Tau Neutrino Interactions
The DONUT experiment has analyzed 203 neutrino interactions recorded in
nuclear emulsion targets. A decay search has found evidence of four tau
neutrino interactions with an estimated background of 0.34 events. This number
is consistent with the Standard Model expectation.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figures, PD
Using behavior-analytic implicit tests to assess sexual interests among normal and sex-offender populations
The development of implicit tests for measuring biases and behavioral predispositions is a recent development within psychology. While such tests are usually researched within a social-cognitive paradigm, behavioral researchers have also begun to view these tests as potential tests of conditioning histories, including in the sexual domain.
The objective of this paper is to illustrate the utility of a behavioral approach to implicit testing and means by which implicit tests can be built to the standards of behavioral psychologists.
Research findings illustrating the short history of implicit testing within the experimental analysis of behavior are reviewed. Relevant parallel and overlapping research findings from the field of social cognition and on the Implicit Association Test are also outlined.
New preliminary data obtained with both normal and sex offender populations are described in order to illustrate how behavior-analytically conceived implicit tests may have potential as investigative tools for assessing histories of sexual arousal conditioning and derived stimulus associations.
It is concluded that popular implicit tests are likely sensitive to conditioned and derived stimulus associations in the history of the test-taker rather than 'unconscious cognitions', per se

Momentum measurement of secondary particle by multiple coulomb scattering with emulsion cloud chamber in DONuT experiment
We present a method of momentum measurement of charged particles using emulsion data from the DONuT experiment, and report results from the momentum analysis of secondary particles from neutrino interactions. In 578 neutrino interactions, 2338 secondary particles were analyzed and 83.2% of attempted particles were measured by multiple coulomb scattering. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
