Single photo and electroproduction of pions at EBAC@JLAB

Within the Excited Baryon Analysis Center we have performed a dynamical coupled-channels analysis of the available $p(e,e' \pi)N$ data in the region of $W \leq$ 1.6 GeV and $Q^2 \leq$ 1.45 (GeV/c)$^2$. The channels included are $\gamma^* N$, $\pi N$, $\eta N$, and $\pi\pi N$ which has $\pi\Delta$, $\rho N$, and $\sigma N$ components. With the hadronic parameters of the model determined in our previous investigations of $\pi N\to \pi N$ reaction, we have found that the available data in the considered $W \leq$ 1.6 GeV region can be fitted well by only adjusting the bare $\gamma^* N \to N^*$ helicity amplitudes for the lowest $N^*$ states in $P_{33}$, $P_{11}$, $S_{11}$ and $D_{13}$ partial waves. The meson cloud effect, as required by the unitarity conditions, on the $\gamma^* N \to N^*$ form factors are examined.Comment: 6 pages, invited talk at NSTAR 2009, Beijing (China), 2009, to appear in the proceeding

The report of this accident is compiled from press reports, edited for anonymity. Text in square brackets [ ] is editorial. In a land mine clearance operation along the China-Vietnam boarder in Yunnan Province, Southwest China on October 11, [the Victim] chose to handle the complex situation by himself after asking his partner to step back. The explosion took [the Victim]\u27s both hands and eyes. The Victim was defusing a mine when the accident occurred. Although no particular mine is mentioned, a Chinese Type 58 anti-personnel blast mine is inferred because it is shown in photographs and a fragmentation mine would have been likely to have inflicted far worse injuries

Formalism for inclusion of measured reaction cross sections in stellar rates including uncertainties and its application to neutron capture in the s-process

A general formalism to include experimental reaction cross sections into calculations of stellar rates is presented. It also allows to assess the maximally possible reduction of uncertainties in the stellar rates by experiments. As an example for the application of the procedure, stellar neutron capture reactivities from KADoNiS v0.3 are revised and the remaining uncertainties shown. Many of the uncertainties in the stellar rates are larger than those obtained experimentally. This has important consequences for s-process models and the interpretation of meteoritic data because it allows the rates of some reactions to vary within a larger range than previously assumed.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figure, 1 table; v1: version accepted for publication in Ap.

Based the [International demining NGO] OPS Officer verbal report the injured Deminer was during the prodding /excavation at Task No 1144 in Khoja Kamal e Wali area to initiating the unexploded Garnet when the prodder touched with a sensitive part of this buried fuse and blow up, as per the explanations of OPS Officer he was recognized the initiation of fuse for explosion when take a special sound for its readiness so Deminer started to gotten away when the garnet exploded and the fragments beached to his body specially in his hand , shoulder and leg

On the 15th of October 2010 a demining accident occurred on site DA-SS-2091 in the Kapoeta locality of Eastern Equatoria where the international TFM sustained fatal injuries due to an uncontrolled detonation which occurred whilst his excavating/preparing a No4 AP mine for demolitions in situ. After initial medical care, the seriously injured TFM later succumbed to his wounds while on the Kapoeta airstrip under the attention of medical personnel awaiting air evacuation to more suitable medical facilities

At 09:25 the victim was clearing a lane using a combination of detector and excavation (with a digging trowel ). While in a kneeling position he reached out to dig at the edge of the lane and initiated a PMN. He suffered traumatic amputation of his right arm at the elbow and lacerations to his face, right leg, and left arm. He walked to a safe lane where paramedics gave first aid. He was then driven to Sabie and taken by air to Maputo Central Hospital, leaving at 10:17 and arriving at 11:02

While the deminer try to investigate a signal in lane 15 (12 O’clock mine) he didn’t approached the mine in the proper procedure which caused the deminer to hit the mine from the top of the pressure plate and initiate the mine 2.2 m away from the deminer (the distance of the heavy RAKE)
