The article addresses the problems of the evaluation methodology improvement of the transport service efficiency and quality provided to passengers on suburban bus routes in accordance with the modern management system requirements. The purpose of the study is to provide practical recommendations to motor transport enterprises following which they can improve the level of service provided to suburban bus route passengers, as well as to provide a structured approach that will allow transport organizations to respond objectively and reasonably to requests resulting from new passenger transportation needs. For a comprehensive assessment of quantitative and qualitative transport service indicators, the evaluation method of the transport service efficiency is proposed. This approach makes it possible to reflect the transport service level both through the prism of enterprises` operation efficiency and the quality of transport service provision. The results of the study are of practical importance in the application of such methods in motor transport enterprises` activity providing the necessary information for management in modern business conditions.The article addresses the problems of the evaluation methodology improvement of the transport service efficiency and quality provided to passengers on suburban bus routes in accordance with the modern management system requirements.

A facility to Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) at the CERN SPS
A new general purpose fixed target facility is proposed at the CERN SPS
accelerator which is aimed at exploring the domain of hidden particles and make
measurements with tau neutrinos. Hidden particles are predicted by a large
number of models beyond the Standard Model. The high intensity of the SPS
400~GeV beam allows probing a wide variety of models containing light
long-lived exotic particles with masses below (10)~GeV/c,
including very weakly interacting low-energy SUSY states. The experimental
programme of the proposed facility is capable of being extended in the future,
e.g. to include direct searches for Dark Matter and Lepton Flavour Violation.Comment: Technical Proposa
Challenges in QCD matter physics - The Compressed Baryonic Matter experiment at FAIR
Substantial experimental and theoretical efforts worldwide are devoted to
explore the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter. At LHC and top RHIC
energies, QCD matter is studied at very high temperatures and nearly vanishing
net-baryon densities. There is evidence that a Quark-Gluon-Plasma (QGP) was
created at experiments at RHIC and LHC. The transition from the QGP back to the
hadron gas is found to be a smooth cross over. For larger net-baryon densities
and lower temperatures, it is expected that the QCD phase diagram exhibits a
rich structure, such as a first-order phase transition between hadronic and
partonic matter which terminates in a critical point, or exotic phases like
quarkyonic matter. The discovery of these landmarks would be a breakthrough in
our understanding of the strong interaction and is therefore in the focus of
various high-energy heavy-ion research programs. The Compressed Baryonic Matter
(CBM) experiment at FAIR will play a unique role in the exploration of the QCD
phase diagram in the region of high net-baryon densities, because it is
designed to run at unprecedented interaction rates. High-rate operation is the
key prerequisite for high-precision measurements of multi-differential
observables and of rare diagnostic probes which are sensitive to the dense
phase of the nuclear fireball. The goal of the CBM experiment at SIS100
(sqrt(s_NN) = 2.7 - 4.9 GeV) is to discover fundamental properties of QCD
matter: the phase structure at large baryon-chemical potentials (mu_B > 500
MeV), effects of chiral symmetry, and the equation-of-state at high density as
it is expected to occur in the core of neutron stars. In this article, we
review the motivation for and the physics programme of CBM, including
activities before the start of data taking in 2022, in the context of the
worldwide efforts to explore high-density QCD matter.Comment: 15 pages, 11 figures. Published in European Physical Journal
Forward Physics at the LHC; Elastic Scattering
The following effects in the nearly forward ("soft") region of the LHC are
proposed to be investigated: 1) At small |t| the fine structure of the cone
(Pomeron) shouldbe scrutinized: a) a break of the cone near ^2, due to the two-pion threshold, and required by t-channel unitarity, is
expected, and b) possible small-period oscillations between and the dip
region. 2) In measuring the elastic scattering and total cross
section at the LHC, the experimentalists are urged to treat the total cross
section the ratio , the forward slope and the luminosity
as free arameters, and to publish model-independent results on
3) Of extreme interest are the details of the expected diffraction
minimum in the differential cross section. Its position, expected in the
interval GeV at the level of about
GeV GeV, cannot be predicted
unambiguously, and its depth, i.e. the ratio of at the minimum to
that at the subsequent maximum (about GeV, which is about 5 is of
great importance. 4) The expected slow-down with increasing of the
shrinkage of the second cone (beyond the dip-bump), together with the
transition from an exponential to a power decrease in , will be indicative
of the transition from "soft" to "hard" physics. Explicit models are proposed
to help in quantifying this transition. 5) In a number of papers a limiting
behavior, or saturation of the black disc limit (BDL) was predicted. This
controversial phenomenon shows that the BDL may not be the ultimate limit.Comment: pp. 50, figs 16 (typos corrected
