Monitoring the Thermal Power of Nuclear Reactors with a Prototype Cubic Meter Antineutrino Detector
In this paper, we estimate how quickly and how precisely a reactor's
operational status and thermal power can be monitored over hour to month time
scales, using the antineutrino rate as measured by a cubic meter scale
detector. Our results are obtained from a detector we have deployed and
operated at 25 meter standoff from a reactor core. This prototype can detect a
prompt reactor shutdown within five hours, and monitor relative thermal power
to three percent within seven days. Monitoring of short-term power changes in
this way may be useful in the context of International Atomic Energy Agency's
(IAEA) Reactor Safeguards Regime, or other cooperative monitoring regimes.Comment: 10 pages, 9 figure
A 100 micro Kelvin bolometer system for SIRTF
Progress toward a prototype of 100 mK bolometric detection system for the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) is described. Two adiabatic demagnetization refrigerators (ADR's) were constructed and used to investigate the capabilities necessary for orbital operation. The first, a laboratory ADR, demonstrated a hold time at 0.1 K of over 12 hours, with temperature stability approx. 3 micro-K RMS achieved by controlling the magnetic field. A durable salt pill and an efficient support system have been demonstrated. A second ADR, the SIRTF flight prototype, has been built and will be flown on a balloon. Techniques for magnetic shielding, low heat leak current leads, and a mechanical heat switch are being developed in this ADR. Plans for construction of 100 mK bolometers are discussed. Three important cosmological investigations which will be carried out by these longest wavelength SIRTF detectors are described

Renormalization and quantum field theory
The aim of this paper is to describe how to use regularization and
renormalization to construct a perturbative quantum field theory from a
Lagrangian. We first define renormalizations and Feynman measures, and show
that although there need not exist a canonical Feynman measure, there is a
canonical orbit of Feynman measures under renormalization. We then construct a
perturbative quantum field theory from a Lagrangian and a Feynman measure, and
show that it satisfies perturbative analogues of the Wightman axioms, extended
to allow time-ordered composite operators over curved spacetimes.Comment: 30 pages Revised version fixes a gap in the definition of Feynman
measure, and has other minor change
