Heavy Neutral Particle Decays to Tau Pairs (Springer Theses)
by Michail Bachtis
The work presented in this thesis spans a wide range of experimental particle physics subjects, starting from level-1 trigger electronics to the final results of the search for Higgs boson decay and to tau lepton pairs. The thesis describes an innovative reconstruction algorithm for tau decays and details how it was instrumental in providing a measurement of Z decay to tau lepton pairs. The reliability of the analysis is fully established by this measurement before the Higgs boson decay to tau l...
Metrology for Fire Experiments in Outdoor Conditions (Springerbriefs in Fire)
by Xavier Silvani
Natural fires can be considered as scale-dependant, non-linear processes of mass, momentum and heat transport, resulting from a turbulent reactive and radiative fluid medium flowing over a complex medium, the vegetal fuel. In natural outdoor conditions, the experimental study of natural fires at real scale needs the development of an original metrology, one able to capture the large range of time and length scales involved in its dynamic nature and also able to resist the thermal, mechanical and...
Studies with a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (BestMasters)
by Michael Schenk
Michael Schenk evaluates new technologies and methods, such as cryogenic read-out electronics and a UV laser system, developed to optimise the performance of large liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPC). Amongst others, the author studies the uniformity of the electric field produced by a Greinacher high-voltage generator operating at cryogenic temperatures, measures the linear energy transfer (LET) of muons and the longitudinal diffusion coefficient of electrons in liquid argon. The res...
Categorical Data Analysis for the Behavioral and Social Sciences
by Razia Azen and Cindy M Walker
Featuring a practical approach with numerous examples, this book focuses on helping the reader develop a conceptual, rather than technical, understanding of categorical methods, making it a much more accessible text than others on the market. The authors cover common categorical analyses and emphasize specific research questions that can be addressed by each analytic procedure so that readers are able to address the research questions they wish to answer. To achieve this goal, the authors: Revi...
A Manual of Physical Measurements
by Anthony Zeleny and Henry a Erikson
Filling and Wrapping (Connected Mathematics 2) (Connected Mathematics)
by Glenda Lappan, James T Fey, William M Fitzgerald, Susan N Friel, and Elizabeth Difanis Phillips
Introduces the functions of measuring, emphasizing metric linear measurement, numbers, and concepts of long/short, big/bigger/biggest, equal to, greater than, and less than. Includes activities and crafts projects.
Polar Coordinate Graphing Notebook Angular Coordinates at 10 degrees
by Inc Gelding Publishing
For seven years, Paul Lockhart's A Mathematician's Lament enjoyed a samizdat-style popularity in the mathematics underground, before demand prompted its 2009 publication to even wider applause and debate. An impassioned critique of K-12 mathematics education, it outlined how we shortchange students by introducing them to math the wrong way. Here Lockhart offers the positive side of the math education story by showing us how math should be done. Measurement offers a permanent solution to math pho...
Heavy or Light? (Rosen Common Core Math Readers: Level C)
by Jordan Alvarez
This fully illustrated book outlines the ancient systems of mathematics and measurement and describes how they were used in mapping, surveying, telling time, trade and commerce, as well as in leisure pursuits such as games and puzzles, and in the occult.
