The ingredients of the “Subsolar” noble gas component
On the basis of several experiments on separates of the EH5 chondrite St. Mark–s, we will argue that the 'subsolar' noble gas component is a mixture of solar-like, Q- and terrestrial noble gases
Hadron collider limits on anomalous couplings
A next-to-leading log calculation of the reactions and
is presented including a tri-boson
gauge coupling from non-Standard Model contributions. Two approaches are made
for comparison. The first approach considers the tri-boson coupling
as being uniquely fixed by tree level unitarity at high energies to its
Standard Model form and, consequently, suppresses the non-Standard Model
contributions with form factors. The second approach is to ignore such
considerations and calculate the contributions to non-Standard Model tri-boson
gauge couplings without such suppressions. It is found that at Tevatron
energies, the two approaches do not differ much in quantitative results, while
at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies the two approaches give significantly
different predictions for production rates. At the Tevatron and LHC, however,
the sensitivity limits on the anomalous coupling of are too weak to
usefully constrain parameters in effective Lagrangian models.Comment: Revtex 23 pages + 8 figures, UIOWA-94-1
Higher-order QED corrections to W-boson mass determination at hadron colliders
The impact of higher-order final-state photonic corrections on the precise
determination of the W-boson mass at the Tevatron and LHC colliders is
evaluated. In the presence of realistic selection criteria, the shift in the W
mass from a fit to the transverse mass distribution is found to be about 10 MeV
in the channel and almost negligible in the
channel. The calculation, which is implemented in a Monte Carlo event generator
for data analysis, can contribute to reduce the uncertainty associated to the W
mass measurement at future hadron collider experiments.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures, 1 table, RevTe
Deep semi-supervised segmentation with weight-averaged consistency targets
Recently proposed techniques for semi-supervised learning such as Temporal
Ensembling and Mean Teacher have achieved state-of-the-art results in many
important classification benchmarks. In this work, we expand the Mean Teacher
approach to segmentation tasks and show that it can bring important
improvements in a realistic small data regime using a publicly available
multi-center dataset from the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) domain. We also
devise a method to solve the problems that arise when using traditional data
augmentation strategies for segmentation tasks on our new training scheme.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure, accepted for DLMIA/MICCA
Vector Boson Pair Production in Hadronic Collisions at Order : Lepton Correlations and Anomalous Couplings
We present cross sections for production of electroweak vector boson pairs,
, and , in and collisions, at next-to-leading
order in . We treat the leptonic decays of the bosons in the
narrow-width approximation, but retain all spin information via decay angle
correlations. We also include the effects of and anomalous
couplings.Comment: 23 pages, 8 figures, 3 table
Probing Trilinear Gauge Boson Interactions via Single Electroweak Gauge Boson Production at the LHC
We analyze the potential of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to study
anomalous trilinear vector-boson interactions W^+ W^- \gamma and W^+ W^- Z
through the single production of electroweak gauge bosons via the weak boson
fusion processes q q -> q q W (-> \ell^\pm \nu) and q q -> q q Z(-> \ell^+
\ell^-) with \ell = e or \mu. After a careful study of the standard model
backgrounds, we show that the single production of electroweak bosons at the
LHC can provide stringent tests on deviations of these vertices from the
standard model prediction. In particular, we show that single gauge boson
production exhibits a sensitivity to the couplings \Delta \kappa_{Z,\gamma}
similar to that attainable from the analysis of electroweak boson pair
production.Comment: 20 pages, 6 figure
Domain and Geometry Agnostic CNNs for Left Atrium Segmentation in 3D Ultrasound
Segmentation of the left atrium and deriving its size can help to predict and
detect various cardiovascular conditions. Automation of this process in 3D
Ultrasound image data is desirable, since manual delineations are
time-consuming, challenging and observer-dependent. Convolutional neural
networks have made improvements in computer vision and in medical image
analysis. They have successfully been applied to segmentation tasks and were
extended to work on volumetric data. In this paper we introduce a combined
deep-learning based approach on volumetric segmentation in Ultrasound
acquisitions with incorporation of prior knowledge about left atrial shape and
imaging device. The results show, that including a shape prior helps the domain
adaptation and the accuracy of segmentation is further increased with
adversarial learning
Exclusive W + photon production in proton-antiproton collisions I: general formalism
We present a detailed computation of the fully exclusive cross section of p +
antip --> W + photon + X with X = 0 and 1 jet in the framework of the
factorization theorem and dimensional regularization. Order alpha-strong and
photon bremsstrahlung contributions are discussed in the MS-bar mass
factorization scheme. The resulting expressions are ready to be implemented
numerically using Monte Carlo techniques to compute single and double
differential cross sections and correlations between outgoing pairs of
particles.Comment: ITP-SB-93-72, 40 pages, LateX. 3*4 figures in separate file.
