BdbServer++: A User Driven Data Location and Retrieval Tool

The adoption of Grid technology has the potential to greatly aid the BaBar experiment. BdbServer was originally designed to extract copies of data from the Objectivity/DB database at SLAC and IN2P3. With data now stored in multiple locations in a variety of data formats, we are enhancing this tool. This will enable users to extract selected deep copies of event collections and ship them to the requested site using the facilities offered by the existing Grid infrastructure. By building on the work done by various groups in BaBar, and the European DataGrid, we have successfully expanded the capabilities of the BdbServer software. This should provide a framework for future work in data distribution.Comment: Paper based on the poster from the 2003 Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics (CHEP03), La Jolla, Ca, USA, March 2003, 4 pages, LaTeX, 0 figures.

Behaviour of the potentials due to strangeness degree of freedom in ΛΛ6_{\Lambda\Lambda}^6He hypernucleus

Fully correlated study of $_{\Lambda\Lambda} ^6$He hypernucleus has been performed with two- and three- baryon potentials. For the S=-2 sector, various simulations of Nijmegen $\Lambda\Lambda$ potential models have been used. We investigate the role of every strength of the strange sector potentials on the energy breakdown and present a crystal clear understanding of their interplay. Consistency between $_\Lambda ^5$He and $_{\Lambda\Lambda}^6$He depends on the $\Lambda N$ space-exchange strength only. Investigation limits the strength of simulated Nijmegen $\Lambda\Lambda$ potential models. The study is a step forward to determine all the strengths, to reslove A=5 anomaly and to search for $_{\Lambda\Lambda}^4$H in an authentic way.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figur

Quantization in Control Systems and Forward Error Analysis of Iterative Numerical Algorithms

The use of control theory to study iterative algorithms, which can be considered as dynamical systems, opens many opportunities to find new tools for analysis of algorithms. In this paper we show that results from the study of quantization effects in control systems can be used to find systematic ways for forward error analysis of iterative algorithms. The proposed schemes are applied to the classical iterative methods for solving a system of linear equations. The obtained bounds are compared with bounds given in the numerical analysis literature
