Matter near to the Endpoint of the Electroweak Phase Transition
Wave functions and the screening mass spectrum in the 3D SU(2)-Higgs model
near to the phase transition line below the endpoint and in the crossover
region are calculated. In the crossover region the changing spectrum versus
temperature is examined showing the aftermath of the phase transition at lower
Higgs mass. Large sets of operators with various extensions are used allowing
to identify wave functions in position space.Comment: 3 pages, 8 figures, LaTex+espcrc2.sty; LATTICE98(electroweak
Two-point functions of quenched lattice QCD in Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory
We summarize the higher-loop perturbative computation of the ghost and gluon
propagators in SU(3) Lattice Gauge Theory. Our final aim is to compare with
results from lattice simulations in order to expose the genuinely
non-perturbative content of the latter. By means of Numerical Stochastic
Perturbation Theory we compute the ghost and gluon propagators in Landau gauge
up to three and four loops. We present results in the infinite volume and limits, based on a general fitting strategy.Comment: 3 pages, 5 figures, talk at conference QCHS-IX, Madrid 201
Two-point functions of quenched lattice QCD in Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory. (I) The ghost propagator in Landau gauge
This is the first of a series of two papers on the perturbative computation
of the ghost and gluon propagators in SU(3) Lattice Gauge Theory. Our final aim
is to eventually compare with results from lattice simulations in order to
enlight the genuinely non-perturbative content of the latter. By means of
Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory we compute the ghost propagator in
Landau gauge up to three loops. We present results in the infinite volume and
limits, based on a general strategy that we discuss in detail.Comment: 27 pages, 11 figure
The lattice ghost propagator in Landau gauge up to three loops using Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory
We complete our high-accuracy studies of the lattice ghost propagator in
Landau gauge in Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory up to three loops. We
present a systematic strategy which allows to extract with sufficient precision
the non-logarithmic parts of logarithmically divergent quantities as a function
of the propagator momentum squared in the infinite-volume and limits.
We find accurate coincidence with the one-loop result for the ghost self-energy
known from standard Lattice Perturbation Theory and improve our previous
estimate for the two-loop constant contribution to the ghost self-energy in
Landau gauge. Our results for the perturbative ghost propagator are compared
with Monte Carlo measurements of the ghost propagator performed by the Berlin
Humboldt university group which has used the exponential relation between
potentials and gauge links.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, XXVII International Symposium on Lattice Field

Hot electroweak matter near to the endpoint of the phase transition
The electroweak phase transition is investigated near to its endpoint in the
framework of an effective three-dimensional model. We measure the very weak
interface tension with the tunneling correlation length method. First results
for the mass spectrum and the corresponding wave functions in the symmetric
phase are presented.Comment: 3 pages, 5 figures, uses espcrc2.sty, contribution to LATTICE9

Cost of saving natural gas through efficiency programs funded by utility customers: 2012–2017
This study estimates the cost of saving a therm of natural gas from energy efficiency programs funded by utility customers during the period 2012 to 2017. Berkeley Lab researchers compiled and analyzed efficiency program data reported by investor-owned utilities and other program administrators in a dozen states representative of the four U.S. Census regions — Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Rhode Island and Utah. Depending on the year, the dataset accounts for about 50 percent to 70 percent of annual national spending on natural gas efficiency programs.
The estimated cost of saving natural gas during the study period is $0.40 per therm. The analysis also includes estimates of the program administrator cost of saved energy for three core sectors for natural gas: commercial and industrial, residential, and low-income households. It aggregates these sectors to provide regional and national values. Our metrics include savings-weighted averages, unweighted medians, and interquartile ranges (25th and 75th percentiles) of the levelized program administrator cost of saving gas, in constant 2017 dollars. In addition, the study analyzes cost trends during the study period, finding that average program costs trended downward.
