Radiative Corrections to Chargino Production with Polarized Beams
We show that radiative corrections to chargino production in
electron-positron annihilation with polarized beams can be large especially in
the case of right handed electrons. In addition, there is some dependency on
the squark masses that allows us to extract information about the squark
spectrum from the chargino production.Comment: 4 pages, including 4 figures. Talk given at Linear Collider Workshop

Radiatively Corrected Chargino Pair Production at LEP2
One-loop radiative corrections to the production cross section of a pair of
light charginos in e+e- colliders are calculated within the MSSM. Top and
bottom quarks and squarks are considered in the loops, and they are
renormalized using the MS-bar scheme. If the center of mass energy is equal to
192 GeV, positive corrections typically of 10% to 15% are found when the squark
mass parameters are equal to 1 TeV.Comment: 6 pages, including 5 figures. Latex. Talk given by M.A.D. at the

High performance, accelerometer-based control of the Mini-MAST structure at Langley Research Center
Many large space system concepts will require active vibration control to satisfy critical performance requirements such as line of sight pointing accuracy and constraints on rms surface roughness. In order for these concepts to become operational, it is imperative that the benefits of active vibration control be shown to be practical in ground based experiments. The results of an experiment shows the successful application of the Maximum Entropy/Optimal Projection control design methodology to active vibration control for a flexible structure. The testbed is the Mini-Mast structure at NASA-Langley and has features dynamically traceable to future space systems. To maximize traceability to real flight systems, the controllers were designed and implemented using sensors (four accelerometers and one rate gyro) that are actually mounted to the structure. Ground mounted displacement sensors that could greatly ease the control design task were available but were used only for performance evaluation. The use of the accelerometers increased the potential of destabilizing the system due to spillover effects and motivated the use of precompensation strategy to achieve sufficient compensator roll-off

Stability and BPS branes
We define the concept of Pi-stability, a generalization of mu-stability of
vector bundles, and argue that it characterizes N=1 supersymmetric brane
configurations and BPS states in very general string theory compactifications
with N=2 supersymmetry in four dimensions.Comment: harvmac, 18 p
