Development of fiber shields for engine containment

Tests were conducted in translational launchers and spin pits to generate empirical data used in the design of a Kevlar shield for containing engine burst debris. Methods are given for modeling the relationship of fragment characteristics to shielding requirements. The change in relative importance of shield mounting provisions as fragment energy is increased is discussed

An SCF-stabilization approach to excited states embedded in the continuum

By using SCF and stabilization‐like procedures, we have located a (π, π*) singlet resonance‐like state in ethylene at 10.21 eV. This state is embedded in the ionization continuum and carries an oscillator strength of 0.46 and is probably the analog to the spectroscopic V state in Hartree–Fock theory. Implications of these results for other systems are discussed

Leptoquarks decaying to a top quark and a charged lepton at hadron colliders

We study the sensitivity of the Tevatron and the 7 TeV LHC to a leptoquark S coupling to a top quark and a charged lepton L (= e, mu, or tau). For the Tevatron, we focus on the case m_S < m_t, where the leptoquark pair production cross section is large, and the decay is three-body: S --> W b L^{\pm}. We argue that existing Tevatron observations could exclude m_S \lsim 160 GeV. For m_S > m_t, we show that the LHC experiments with low integrated luminosity could be sensitive to such leptoquarks decaying to tl^{\pm} with l= mu or tau.Comment: 13 pages, 6 figures, minor changes (typos
