Analyses of multiplicity distributions by means of the Modified Negative Binomial Distribution and its KNO scaling function

We analyze various data of multiplicity distributions by means of the Modified Negative Binomial Distribution (MNBD) and its KNO scaling function, since this MNBD explains the oscillating behavior of the cumulant moment observed in e^+e^- annihilations, h-h collisions and e-p collisions. In the present analyses, we find that the MNBD(discrete distributions) describes the data of charged particles in e^+e^- annihilations much better than the Negative Binomial Distribution (NBD). To investigate stochastic property of the MNBD, we derive the KNO scaling function from the discrete distribution by using a straightforward method and the Poisson transform. It is a new KNO function expressed by the Laguerre polynomials. In analyses of the data by using the KNO scaling function, we find that the MNBD describes the data better than the gamma function.Thus, it can be said that the MNBD is one of useful formulas as well as NBD.Comment: 12 pages, latex, 3 figure

Analysis of Bose-Einstein correlations in e+e- -> W+W- events including final state interactions

Recently DELPHI Collaboration reported new data on Bose-Einstein correlations (BEC) measured in e+e- -> W^+W^- events. Apparently no enhancement has been observed. We have analyzed these data including final state interactions (FSI) of both Coulomb and strong (s-wave) origin and found that there is enhancement in BEC but it is overshadowed by the FSI which are extremely important for those events. We have found the following values for the size of the interaction range beta and the degree of coherence lambda: beta=0.87 +/- 0.31fm and lambda=1.19 +/- 0.48, respectively.Comment: 7pages, 4 figure

From Revising Program SLOs to a Culture of Open Communication in Dental Hygiene

This poster describes the program student learning outcomes development process in the Dental Hygiene BS degree program. It details the challenges that the program faced in the past, the success strategies to engage faculty, and the benefit of assessment process. The Dental Hygiene BS degree has 16 faculty members, most majority of whom are practitioners as dental hygienists or dentists. Project objectives and the methods of revising Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) are outlined, a detailed description of Program SLOs is provided, and follow-up actions along with next steps are provided

Angular magnetoresistance oscillations in bilayers in tilted magnetic fields

Angular magnetoresistance oscillations (AMRO) were originally discovered in organic conductors and then found in many other layered metals. It should be possible to observe AMRO to semiconducting bilayers as well. Here we present an intuitive geometrical interpretation of AMRO as the Aharonov-Bohm interference effect, both in real and momentum spaces, for balanced and imbalanced bilayers. Applications to the experiments with bilayers in tilted magnetic fields in the metallic state are discussed. We speculate that AMRO may be also observed when each layer of the bilayer is in the composite-fermion state.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, Proceedings of EP2DS-16.
