Sensitivity of the SHiP experiment to Heavy Neutral Leptons

Heavy Neutral Leptons (HNLs) are hypothetical particles predicted by many extensions of the Standard Model. These particles can, among other things, explain the origin of neutrino masses, generate the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe and provide a dark matter candidate. The SHiP experiment will be able to search for HNLs produced in decays of heavy mesons and travelling distances ranging between $\mathcal{O}(50\text{ m})$ and tens of kilometers before decaying. We present the sensitivity of the SHiP experiment to a number of HNL's benchmark models and provide a way to calculate the SHiP's sensitivity to HNLs for arbitrary patterns of flavour mixings. The corresponding tools and data files are also made publicly available.Comment: journal versio

The Relationship between attributional style, self-concept, and class placement in students with and without learning disabilities

The current investigation was conducted to examine the relationship between attributional style, self-concept, and class placement in students with and without learning disabilities. Subjects included both students with and without learning disabilities from third, fourth, and fifth grade classrooms. The students who participated in the study were involved in either general or full inclusion programs. Students classified with learning disabilities in the general education program were pulled out for resource room services, while those in the full inclusive programs did not receive pull out services. All students were given the Children\u27s Attributional Style Questionnaire and the Piers-Harris Children\u27s Self-concept Scale. Three hypotheses were tested. Based on past research it was proposed that students classified with learning disabilities would possess a more negative attributional style in addition to a lower self concept in the area of academic achievement compared to their general education peers. Finally, it was predicted that attributional style, and not class placement, would be a stronger predictor of academic self-concept. Results show strong support for all three hypotheses. Results are discussed in terms of implications for interventions as well as directions for further research

Individual Activity & Content Neutrality Under Section 2(d) of the Charter

This note discusses the nature and scope of protection which is and ought to be afforded to individual activity under s. 2(d) of the Charter through an analysis of two doctrinal models. Since the s. 2(d) jurisprudence is dominated by labour relations cases, which tend to deal squarely with the collective aspect of the right, there is very little case law and commentary on which to structure this debate. By analogizing from the Charter’s other fundamental freedoms, however, it is possible to craft a subjective model for s. 2(d) protection. As this note demonstrates, this model finds little support in the current jurisprudence, and its breadth is probably unworkable. By way of contrast, there is an objective model of association, which can be extrapolated from the core purpose of s. 2(d) as defined by the Supreme Court of Canada. Although principled and restrained, however, the objective model rejects any notion of a personal or subjective understanding of what constitutes association and in this sense it too restrictive. A possible blend of the two models, and the embrace of a qualified principle of content neutrality, may best deal with the concerns raised by each. It seems only inevitable that, at some point, an appellate court in this country will be confronted with a s. 2(d) claim which asserts, in a novel fashion, an individually or subjectively defined scope of protected association. The law as it currently stands is too modest in its protection of individual associational activity. Hopefully, a balance can be struck between the unworkable breadth of the subjective model and the harsh and stubborn restrictiveness of the current law. A qualified form of content neutrality may provide the right balance

Au-delà de la solidarité féminine

Dans cet article, l’auteure examine la problématique de l’identité et de la différence dans la théorie féministe et le mouvement des femmes du Québec. Les antécédents historiques et la situation actuelle des femmes noires au Québec illustrent les lacunes des principaux modèles de théorisation féministe. Ces modèles ont toujours à rendre compte de la mesure dans laquelle le racisme, les divisions découlant de caractéristiques ethniques, linguistiques et nationales, de pair avec l’appartenance à une classe sociale, façonnent différemment les situations d’oppression fondée sur le sexe que subissent les femmes ainsi que leur résistance à cette oppression. Une des tâches fondamentales que le mouvement des femmes du Québec doit encore accomplir consiste à aborder la diversité du vécu des femmes et les divisions croissantes entre elles

"Permeating all community activities"? Comparing events and programming in Westminster and Tower Hamlets public libraries

A comparative study of events and programming in two London public library services, Westminster and Tower Hamlets, is reported. The two services offer the same proportion of 'engagement' programming. Tower Hamlets operates a novel service model, though one with long antecedents, integrating library, learning and cultural services. Its extensive programmes of educational and special events have led to a great increase in visitors, though not to a corresponding increase in use of core library services
