Program to produce horizontal stereographic print maps from Nimbus HRIR data

Computer program is written to display Nimbus high resolution infrared radiometer data in optimum form for experiment usage. Program produces three maps for Nimbus experimental data. Functions of program are to process data and prepare print maps from modified temperature measurements

Hydraulic characteristics of flow through miniature slits

Hydraulic characteristics of micro-orifices arrayed in close proximity across the face of a liquid fuel injector are studied. Effects of geometry and flow variables on discharge coefficients and flow regimes are determined, as well as visible characteristics of the emerging liquid streams

Heavy Quark Symmetry Predictions for Weakly Bound B-Meson Molecules

Recently the Belle collaboration discovered two resonances, Zb(10610) and Zb(10650), that lie very close to the B\bar{B}^* and B^*\bar{B}^* thresholds, respectively. It is natural to suppose that these are molecular states of bottom and anti-bottom mesons. Under this assumption, we introduce an effective field theory for the Zb(10610) and Zb(10650), as well as similar unobserved states that are expected on the basis of heavy quark spin symmetry. The molecules are assumed to arise from short-range interactions that respect heavy quark spin symmetry. We use the theory to calculate line shapes in the vicinity of B^{(*)}\bar{B}^{(*)} thresholds as well as two-body decay rates of the new bottom meson bound states. We derive new heavy quark spin symmetry predictions for the parameters appearing in the line shapes as well as the total and partial widths of the states.Comment: 17 pages, 2 figure
