Intense Neutrino Beams and Leptonic CP Violation

Effects of the Leptonic CP violating phase,\delta, on 3 generation neutrino oscillation rates and asymmetries are discussed. A figure of merit argument is used to show that our ability to measure the phase \delta is rather insensitive to the value of \theta_{13} (for \sin^22\theta_{13}\gsim0.01) as well as the detector distance (for very long oscillation baselines). Using a study of \nu_\mu\to\nu_e oscillations for BNL-Homestake (2540 km) we show that a conventional horn focused wide band neutrino beam generated by an intense 1-2 MW proton source combined with a very large water Cherenkov detector (250-500 kton) should be able to determine \delta to about \pm 15^\circ$in 5\times 10^7sec of running. In addition, such an effort would also measure the other oscillation parameters (\theta_{ij},\Delta m^2_{ij}) with high precision. Similar findings apply to a Fermilab-Homestake (1280 km)baseline. We also briefly discuss features of Superbeams, Neutrino Factories and Beta-Beams.Comment: 7 pages,$ Figures, to be published in Neutrino2006 Proceeding

Higgs Resonance Studies At The First Muon Collider

Higgs resonance signals and backgrounds at the First Muon Collider are discussed. Effects due to beam polarization and background angular distributions (forward-backward charge asymmetries) are examined. The utility of those features for improving precision measurements and narrow resonance ``discovery'' scans is described.Comment: 6 pages, latex. Presented at the Workshop on Physics at the First Muon Collider and at the Front End of a Muon Collider, Fermilab, November 199

Variational Approach in Wavelet Framework to Polynomial Approximations of Nonlinear Accelerator Problems

In this paper we present applications of methods from wavelet analysis to polynomial approximations for a number of accelerator physics problems. According to variational approach in the general case we have the solution as a multiresolution (multiscales) expansion in the base of compactly supported wavelet basis. We give extension of our results to the cases of periodic orbital particle motion and arbitrary variable coefficients. Then we consider more flexible variational method which is based on biorthogonal wavelet approach. Also we consider different variational approach, which is applied to each scale.Comment: LaTeX2e, aipproc.sty, 21 Page

Symmetry, Hamiltonian Problems and Wavelets in Accelerator Physics

In this paper we consider applications of methods from wavelet analysis to nonlinear dynamical problems related to accelerator physics. In our approach we take into account underlying algebraical, geometrical and topological structures of corresponding problems.Comment: LaTeX2e, aipproc.sty, 25 pages, typos correcte

Lived Experience of Women Suffering from Vitiligo: A Phenomenological Study

Vitiligo is a chronic skin disease, which through change of appearance and body image, exerts a devastating effect on people, especially women. The objective of this study is to explore lived experience of women with Vitiligo by the hermeneutic phenomenology method. The purposive sample consisted of 16 Iranian women. Data analysis followed Diekelmann, Allen, and Tanner (1989). The results showed four main themes: (1) Perceiving myself in a different light; (2) Vitiligo: Worry about others’ perceptions; (3) Vitiligo, Being influenced by cultural beliefs; and (4) Accepting and fighting the disease; Variations in experiences of living with Vitiligo. The women affected with Vitiligo during their marriage-ready years face various psychosocial problem s such as rejection by associates, isolation, divorce, and forced choice of a single lif
