Habeas Corpus Standing Alone: A Reply to Lee B. Kovarsky and Stephen I. Vladeck
The differences between habeas corpus and due process are important. The Due Process Clause, among other things, regulates the procedures that the government must use before it detains a person and holds the person in custody. But the Suspension Clause safeguards a more elemental habeas privilege. That is, under the Suspension Clause, the judge examines the bare question of whether a person is being held in custody legally. In Habeas Corpus and Due Process, I focus on the independent role of the habeas process. The deep confusion between habeas corpus and due process arises from a critical area of overlap: the habeas judge may examine not only the bare lawfulness of the custody, but also whether officials complied with required procedures to detain the person, including due process requirements
Wiggins, Otis Lee, b. 1905 (SC 2949)
Finding aid only for Manuscripts Small Collection 2949. Two cassette tapes which include an interview conducted by Robert H. McGaughey with Otis Lee Wiggins about the resettlement program undertaken by the Resettlement Administration Project 14 in Christian County, Kentucky. Wiggins was an administrator for the U.S. Resettlement Administration and discusses the Christian County program in great detail
Painter, Jeromy Lee, b. 1976 (SC 1998)
Finding aid only for Manuscripts Small Collection 1997. Two letters, 23 and 26 July 2003, from Jeromy Lee Painter, serving in Iraq with Operation Iraqi Freedom, to Jerry and Annetta Proctor, Bowling Green. He inquires about family and friends and relates some of his experiences as well as his belief in the necessity of America\u27s intervention in Iraq
Fisher, H. Lee, b. 1867? (SC 2408)
Finding aid only for Manuscripts Small Collection 2408. Letters written from Kentucky by H. Lee Fisher to his wife Adah in Vineland, New Jersey and Sioux City, Iowa, while employed on a government survey. He writes from Floyd County of the progress of his work and local conditions (4 June); his wife’s purchase of a cow, and his job prospects (2 September); family matters and prices (24 October); and the hardships of women in Floyd County (25 October). Letters from Johnson County discuss local fruit crops (1 June) and his future plans (24 September), and a letter from Martin County (7 September) describes a visit to a fruit farmer and beekeeper and local stories of hauntings. A letter from Lawrence County (17 November) discusses family matters and comments on the endowments of a local woman. Includes one letter from Adah to her husband with household and family news; she teases him about their separation, and expresses her wish for a piano in order to enjoy the civilizing influence of music
Universal pulse sequence to minimize spin dephasing in the central spin decoherence problem
We present a remarkable finding that a recently discovered [G. S. Uhrig,
Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 100504 (2007)] series of pulse sequences, designed to
optimally restore coherence to a qubit in the spin-boson model of decoherence,
is in fact completely model-independent and generically valid for arbitrary
dephasing Hamiltonians given sufficiently short delay times between pulses. The
series maximizes qubit fidelity versus number of applied pulses for
sufficiently short delay times because the series, with each additional pulse,
cancels successive orders of a time expansion for the fidelity decay. The
"magical" universality of this property, which was not appreciated earlier,
requires that a linearly growing set of "unknowns" (the delay times) must
simultaneously satisfy an exponentially growing set of nonlinear equations that
involve arbitrary dephasing Hamiltonian operators.Comment: Published in PRL, revise
L\'evy-stable two-pion Bose-Einstein correlations in GeV AuAu collisions
We present a detailed measurement of charged two-pion correlation functions
in 0%-30% centrality GeV AuAu collisions by the
PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The data are well
described by Bose-Einstein correlation functions stemming from L\'evy-stable
source distributions. Using a fine transverse momentum binning, we extract the
correlation strength parameter , the L\'evy index of stability
and the L\'evy length scale parameter as a function of average
transverse mass of the pair . We find that the positively and the
negatively charged pion pairs yield consistent results, and their correlation
functions are represented, within uncertainties, by the same L\'evy-stable
source functions. The measurements indicate a decrease of the
strength of the correlations at low . The L\'evy length scale parameter
decreases with increasing , following a hydrodynamically
predicted type of scaling behavior. The values of the L\'evy index of stability
are found to be significantly lower than the Gaussian case of
, but also significantly larger than the conjectured value that may
characterize the critical point of a second-order quark-hadron phase
transition.Comment: 448 authors, 25 pages, 11 figures, 4 tables, 2010 data. v2 is version

Medium modification of jet fragmentation in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=200 GeV measured in direct photon-hadron correlations
The jet fragmentation function is measured with direct photon-hadron
correlations in p+p and Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=200 GeV. The p_T of the
photon is an excellent approximation to the initial p_T of the jet and the
ratio z_T=p_T^h/p_T^\gamma is used as a proxy for the jet fragmentation
function. A statistical subtraction is used to extract the direct photon-hadron
yields in Au+Au collisions while a photon isolation cut is applied in p+p. I_
AA, the ratio of jet fragment yield in Au+Au to that in p+p, indicates
modification of the jet fragmentation function. Suppression, most likely due to
energy loss in the medium, is seen at high z_T. The fragment yield at low z_T
is enhanced at large angles. Such a trend is expected from redistribution of
the lost energy into increased production of low-momentum particles.Comment: 562 authors, 70 insitutions, 8 pages, and 3 figures. Submitted to
