The Final Measurement of Epsilon'/Epsilon from KTeV

We present precise measurements of CP and CPT symmetry based on the full dataset of K to 2pi decays collected by the KTeV experiment at FNAL. We measure the direct CP violation parameter Re(epsilon'/epsilon) = (19.2 pm 2.1)x10-4. We also report the KL-KS mass difference, the KS lifetime, the phase of epsilon, and the phase difference (phi00)-(phi+-). These results are consistent with other experimental results and with CPT symmetry.Comment: 10 pages, 19 figures. To be published in the proceedings of DPF-2009, Detroit, MI, July 2009, eConf C09072

Neutrino Oscillation Parameters: Future

The Neutrino Oscillation Workshop (NOW2018) included a session addressing neutrino oscillation parameters in the future. This session included discussion of planned and proposed experiments, detector technologies, and analysis techniques to better measure neutrino oscillation parameters. Constraint of systematic uncertainty in future precision measurements was a topic of particular interest. This proceedings is a brief summary of the presentations in the Oscillation Parameters: Future session; readers are directed to individual contributions to the proceedings for more detailed information

What can the microstructure of stones tell us?

How stones are retained within the kidney while small in size is still not fully understood. In this paper, we show two examples of how stones are retained during early growth: one is growth on Randall's (interstitial) plaque, and the other is growth on mineral that has formed as a luminal plug in a terminal collecting duct. These two mechanisms of stone retention during early growth have distinctive morphologic features that can be seen by methods that show the microscopic structure of the stones. Stones growing on Randall's plaque display an apatite region that is typically not large in size (1 mm long and >0.5 mm wide), and they are solid, without spaces running through them. We propose that knowing the mechanisms of stone retention during early stone formation could allow for better treatment of stone diseases
