However, as I sat in committee meeting after committee meeting, it began to bother me that investing in the forecasting of space weather was given a high priority even though SWx impacts seemed to be either minor for known events or speculative for hypothetical extreme events. Studies were being...
Previously,R(τ/μ) has been measured at the Large Electron–Positron Collider (LEP), yielding a combined value of 1.070 ± 0.026 (ref.3). The SM expectation ofR(τ/μ) is unity (neglecting very small phase space effects due to the masses of the decay products, ~5 × 10...
reconstruction, identification and isolation efficiencies, as well as energy calibrations and resolutions of reconstructed objects. Conservative theory uncertainties ranging between 4% and 20% are also assigned to the predicted cross-sections used for the estimation of minor background ...
Hello fellow PF members, I'm currently in my senior year in Mechanical Engineering at Oregon State University. I'm considering going on to get my Master's Degree to gain more knowledge (since I'm fascinating by them). I really like Math and have a Math Minor already. I am looking to...
Minor contributions from other tissue components usually do not perturb significantly the optical transport and therefore are not significant if one is interested only in understanding light penetration. Absorbed light is converted into heat or luminescence, or it is consumed in photochemical reactions [...
in most major and many minor financial institution, there have been little clumps of ex-physicists and applied mathematicians trying to apply their skills to securities markets. Formerly called rocket scientists, in the mis- taken notion that rocketry was the most advanced part of science, they...
Table 1 Observed data and expected event yields in 139 fb−1of data in theℓℓℓℓjjandℓℓννjjSRs. All the minor backgrounds are summed together as ‘Others’, and theWWjjand\(t\overline{t}\)processes are referred to as the non-resonant-ℓℓbackgrounds. Uncertainties...
Light-by-light scattering (γγ→γγ) is a quantum-mechanical process that is forbidden in the classical theory of electrodynamics. This reaction is accessible at the Large Hadron Collider thanks to the large electromagnetic field strengths generated
