Search for the Cryptoexotic Member of the Baryon Antidecuplet 1/2+ in the Reactions pi- p --> pi- p and pi- p --> K L
The main goal of this proposal is the search for a narrow cryptoexotic
nucleon resonance by scanning of the pi- p system invariant mass in the region
(1610-1770) MeV with the detection of pi- p and K Lambda decays. The scan is
supposed to be done by the variation of the incident pi- momentum and its
measurement with the accuracy of up to +-0.1% (better than 1 MeV in terms of
the invariant mass in the whole energy range) with a set of proportional
chambers located in the first focus of the magnetooptical channel. High
sensitivity of the method to the resonance under search is shown. The secondary
particles scattered from a liquid hydrogen target are detected by sets of the
wire drift chambers equipped with modern electronics. The time scale of the
project is about 3 years. The budget estimate including manpower, the apparatus
and operation cost, is about 40 million rubles. The beam time required is (4-6)
two week runs on "high" (10 GeV/c) flattop of the ITEP proton synchrotron.Comment: 16 pages, 10 figures. v2: an acknowledge adde

Search for sterile neutrinos at the DANSS experiment
DANSS is a highly segmented 1~m plastic scintillator detector. Its 2500
one meter long scintillator strips have a Gd-loaded reflective cover. The DANSS
detector is placed under an industrial 3.1~ reactor of the
Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant 350~km NW from Moscow. The distance to the core is
varied on-line from 10.7~m to 12.7~m. The reactor building provides about 50~m
water-equivalent shielding against the cosmic background. DANSS detects almost
5000 per day at the closest position with the cosmic
background less than 3. The inverse beta decay process is used to detect
. Sterile neutrinos are searched for assuming the model
(3 active and 1 sterile ). The exclusion area in the plane is obtained using a ratio of positron energy
spectra collected at different distances. Therefore results do not depend on
the shape and normalization of the reactor spectrum, as well
as on the detector efficiency. Results are based on 966 thousand antineutrino
events collected at 3 distances from the reactor core. The excluded area covers
a wide range of the sterile neutrino parameters up to
in the most sensitive region.Comment: 10 pages, 13 figures, version accepted for publicatio
Optimality criteria without constraint qualications for linear semidenite problems
We consider two closely related optimization problems: a problem of convex Semi-
Infinite Programming with multidimensional index set and a linear problem of Semidefinite Programming. In study of these problems we apply the approach suggested in our recent paper [14] and based on the notions of immobile indices and their immobility orders. For the linear semidefinite problem, we define the subspace of immobile indices and formulate the first order optimality conditions in terms of a basic matrix of this subspace.
These conditions are explicit, do not use constraint qualifications, and have the form of criterion. An algorithm determining a basis of the subspace of immobile indices in a finite number of steps is suggested. The optimality conditions obtained are compared with other known optimality conditions
