    A study of the electron identification and selection efficiency of the L1 Trigger algorithm has been performed using the combined ECAL/HCAL test beam data. A detailed discussion of the electron isolation and its impact on the selection efficiency is presented. The L1 electron algorithm is studied for different beam energies and the results indicate that efficiencies of 98% or more can be achieved for electrons with energies between 15 and 100 GeV. The fraction of charged hadrons with energies from 3 up to 100 GeV rejected by the L1 electron trigger algorithm is estimated to be larger than 93%.Comment: 22 pages, 14 figure

    Orbital Fluctuation-Induced Triplet Superconductivity : Mechanism of Superconductivity in Sr2RuO4{\rm Sr}_{2}{\rm RuO}_{4}

    Full text link
    The mechanism of superconductivity in Sr2RuO4{\rm Sr}_{2}{\rm RuO}_{4} is studied using a degenerate Hubbard model within the weak coupling theory. When the system approaches the orbital instability which is realized due to increasing the on-site Coulomb interaction between the electrons in the different orbitals, it is shown that the triplet superconductivity appears. This superconducting mechanism is only available in orbitally degenerate systems with multiple Fermi surfaces.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

    Role of Group and Phase Velocity in High-Energy Neutrino Observatories

    Get PDF
    Kuzmichev recently showed that use of phase velocity rather than group velocity for Cherenkov light signals and pulses from calibration lasers in high-energy neutrino telescopes leads to errors in track reconstruction and distance measurement. We amplify on his remarks and show that errors for four cases of interest to AMANDA, IceCube, and RICE (radio Cherenkov detector) are negligibly small.Comment: To be published in Astroparticle Physics, 6 pages, uses elsart.st
