The Offline Software Framework of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Observatory is designed to unveil the nature and the origins
of the highest energy cosmic rays. The large and geographically dispersed
collaboration of physicists and the wide-ranging collection of simulation and
reconstruction tasks pose some special challenges for the offline analysis
software. We have designed and implemented a general purpose framework which
allows collaborators to contribute algorithms and sequencing instructions to
build up the variety of applications they require. The framework includes
machinery to manage these user codes, to organize the abundance of
user-contributed configuration files, to facilitate multi-format file handling,
and to provide access to event and time-dependent detector information which
can reside in various data sources. A number of utilities are also provided,
including a novel geometry package which allows manipulation of abstract
geometrical objects independent of coordinate system choice. The framework is
implemented in C++, and takes advantage of object oriented design and common
open source tools, while keeping the user side simple enough for C++ novices to
learn in a reasonable time. The distribution system incorporates unit and
acceptance testing in order to support rapid development of both the core
framework and contributed user code.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, presented at IEEE NSS/MIC, 23-29 October 2005,

Penetrability of chloride ions in concrete protected by an acrylic painting
In order do decrease the penetrability of chloride ions in concrete the use of paintings based on polymers can be a good solution. The use of acrylic paintings is recommended because they have good resistance to ultraviolet radiation. It is important to quantify the decrease of chloride ions penetrability obtained by the use of this kind of paintings. The durability of the polymeric paintings is another aspect that needs to be analysed. In this study an acrylic painting was used to
protect the concrete and decrease the penetrability of chloride ions. The concrete used was a C12/15, with a cement content of 280 kg/m3 and a water-cement ratio of 0.60. The acrylic painting was applied in concrete specimens 28 days after casting. In order to have a better protection we applied two coats separated by 5 hours. The penetrability of chloride ions was
measured following the ASTM standard C 1202 – 94. Before the penetrability tests, some specimens were exposed to UV radiation. The exposition to the light occurred by cycles consisting of alternating periods of 8 hours of UV radiation at 60 ºC and 16 hours without UV radiation at 50 ºC. Three kinds of exposition were made consisting on 5, 10 and 15 cycles. The results showed always a high penetrability of chloride ions. This occurred because a poor concrete
was used. The protection by an acrylic painting decreases the penetrability of chloride ions. The charge passed decreased about 32 %. However, is not possible to achieve low chloride ions penetrability only with the use of acrylic paintings. It is necessary also the use of a good concrete
with low porosity. After the exposition to the UV radiation the penetrability of chlorides ions did not increase. It seems that the UV radiation does not affect the properties of the acrylic painting
Renormalization of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa Quark Mixing Matrix
We have investigated the present renormalization prescriptions of
Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix. When considering the prescription which
is formulated with reference to the case of zero mixing we find it doesn't
satisfy the unitary condition of the bare CKM matrix. After added a delicate
patch this problem can be solved at one-loop level. In this paper We generalize
this prescription to all loop levels and keep the unitarity of the bare CKM
matrix, simultaneously make the amplitude of an arbitrary physical process
involving quark mixing convergent and gauge independent. We also find that in
order to keep the CKM counterterms gauge independent the unitarity of the bare
CKM matrix must be preserved.Comment: has been revised, 8 pages, 1 figur
Top quark loop corrections to the decay in the Two Higgs Doublet Model
We calculate the decay width for the process up to order
in the framework of the Two Higgs Doublet Model. We argue that for some
reasonable choice of the free parameters the contribution from the one-loop
graphs can be as large as 40%.Comment: 9 pages (in a4wide), tex with figures attached, uuencoded tared gzip
