A novel concept for the detection of tau neutrino appearance

A novel concept for the detection of tau neutrinos is presented, potentially suitable for use in a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. It relies on the direct identification of the tau leptons produced in charged-current interactions, by imaging the Cherenkov light that the tau generates in C6F14 liquid. In a simple simulation about half of the tau leptons can be successfully identified in this way.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figure

Design and Expected Performance of the BTeV RICH

The BTeV experiment is a b-physics experiment designed to conduct precision tests of the CKM description of CP violation and study rare processes involving bottom and charm hadrons. The experiment will be located in the C0 interaction region at the Fermilab Tevatron, and is intended to begin data-taking around 2007-2008. One of the most important elements of the BTeV spectrometer is the ring-imaging Cerenkov detector (RICH) which is used for particle identification. In this article we describe the BTeV RICH and present its expected performance.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures. Proceedings of the RICH2002 Conference, Pylos, Greece, June 5-10, 200

Myths of the Origins of Modern Concrete

Myths of origin have their moments. An origins myth that suits one epoch cannot be relied upon to serve another. No better demonstration is there of the time-bound nature of myths of origin than those attaching to concrete

DEVELOPING A HOMELESSNESS PREDICTION MODEL

Merged with duplicate record 10026.1/1307 on 13.20.2017 by CS (TIS)The purpose of this research was to produce a model to predict levels of homelessness within a local authority area. The research considered data on a wide range of issues embedded in theory and supported by the literature as being common precedents to homelessness. Areas of investigation included housing, migration, poverty, deinstitutionalisation. ethnicity, poor health, drug abuse, sex and age, relationship breakdown as well as general variables profiling the area. Data was compared both to the numbers of homeless decisions made within a local authority area as well as the numbers of those decisions that resulted in the full homeless duty being accepted. Multiple regression techniques and factor analysis were used to determine the issues most strongly correlated with levels of homeless decisions and therefore useful for the production of a prediction model. Models were produced for different types of council (e.g. borough councils, district councils, city councils etc) using different variables. A number of independent variables were identified as being reliable predictors for numbers of homeless decisions for two to three years into the future. These variables were the number of people experiencing limiting long-term illness; the number of people separated but not divorced; the number of under 18 conceptions; the number of people in receipt of income based job seekers allowance and the number of people of mixed race. In addition to these individual issues, a 'social disadvantage factor' combining all of these issues generally proved to be the most accurate and reliable variable for use in a regression model for predicting numbers of homeless decisions. Previous research in this area has been predominantly qualitative in nature. This study provides a new step towards a useable quantitative tool for prediction purposes. The models provide a level of objectivity to prediction and therefore have important implications for local government policy

'To make wonders plain': the ethics of Stock Orchard Street

A reflection on 'ethics' in architecture, made through an examination of Francis Bacon's essay 'On Building' (1624). This text has never been given much attention in architectural historical circles; it is examined seriously for the first time here, and related both to Bacon's ideas about ethics, as well as to his theories of knowledge . At the same time, there is an implied reflection back onto the architecture of the house and office building at Stock Orchard Street by Sarah Wigglesworth Architects, completed in 2000. The text is an original piece of historical research, that re-interprets a previously overlooked essay by one of the great minds of the early 17th century, and suggests that it fulfilled a distinct critical role within his work. My essay is also a contribution to the question of how historical research might inform critical writing about contemporary architecture

Review of VcbV_{cb} and Vtd/VtsV_{td}/V_{ts}

The current experimental status of the CKM matrix element V_cb and the ratio V_td/V_ts is reviewed. Knowledge of these elements has a strong impact on the unitarity triangle, of interest for studies of CP violation in the B system. The measurements of V_cb from both inclusive semileptonic b decays and the exclusive channel B -> D* l nu are reaching high precision. For V_td/V_ts the strongest upper limit is derived from studies of B-Bbar mixing
