COVIDâ19, nationalism, and the politics of crisis: A scholarly exchange
In this article, several scholars of nationalism discuss the potential for the COVIDâ19 pandemic to impact the development of nationalism and world politics. To structure the discussion, the contributors respond to three questions: (1) how should we understand the relationship between nationalism and COVIDâ19; (2) will COVIDâ19 fuel ethnic and nationalist conflict; and (3) will COVIDâ19 reinforce or erode the nationâstate in the long run? The contributors formulated their responses to these questions near to the outset of the pandemic, amid intense uncertainty. This made it acutely difficult, if not impossible, to make predictions. Nevertheless, it was felt that a historically and theoretically informed discussion would shed light on the types of political processes that could be triggered by the COVIDâ19 pandemic. In doing so, the aim is to help orient researchers and policyâmakers as they grapple with what has rapidly become the most urgent issue of our times
Design and construction of the MicroBooNE detector
This paper describes the design and construction of the MicroBooNE liquid
argon time projection chamber and associated systems. MicroBooNE is the first
phase of the Short Baseline Neutrino program, located at Fermilab, and will
utilize the capabilities of liquid argon detectors to examine a rich assortment
of physics topics. In this document details of design specifications, assembly
procedures, and acceptance tests are reported
