Show moreThe study of long-span structures developed from a design problem for an aircraft hangar. The problem of the aircraft hangar was concerned with the development of a reasonable structurtal type into an architectural solution. Several types were considered; the truss, the arch, a rigid frame system in prestressed concrete. These were discarded in favor of a rigid frame system of steel that seemed to give the best visual solution.

Show moreThis invention relates a control strategy for a hybrid electric vehicle having an electric motor, a battery and an internal combustion engine. The control strategy improves fuel economy and reduces emissions while providing sufficient acceleration over a varying set of driving conditions through an adaptive control unit with an artificial neural network. The artificial neural network is trained on a pre-processed training set based on the highest fuel economies of multiple control strategies and multiple driving profiles. Training the artificial neural network includes a training algorithm and a learning algorithm. The invention also includes a method of operating a hybrid electric vehicle with an adaptive control strategy using an artificial neural network.

Show moreThe heavy quark content associated with gauge boson production is of great interest to studies of QCD. These events probe the gluon and heavy-quark parton distribution functions of the proton, and also provide a measurement of the rate of final state gluon splitting to heavy favor. In addition, gauge boson plus heavy quark events are representative of backgrounds to Higgs, single top, and supersymmetric particle searches. Recent work with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron has measured the cross-section of several gauge boson plus heavy flavor production processes, including the first Tevatron observation of specific charm process p͞p → W + c. Results are found to be in agreement with NLO predictions that include an enhanced rate of g → c͞c =b͞b splitting. Lastly, a new analysis promises to probe a lower pT (c) region than has yet been explored, by fully reconstructing D* → D^0 (Kπ)π decays in the full CDF dataset (9:7 fb^1).

Show moreIn the last years, the understanding of jets and jet substructure has become increasingly important, in particular in the context of new physics searches. Many new physics models involve highly boosted hadronically-decaying particles, which result in jet-like objects with large masses and an intrinsic substructure. Discrimination of these heavy jets from ordinary quark and gluon jets is possible through a plethora of new techniques. The understanding of jets can be exploited also for the identification of pileup jets and for the discrimination between quark jets and gluon jets. A sampling of these techniques is discussed together with their validation on collider data recorded in proton-proton collisions at √s = 8TeV with the CMS detector in the year 2012. The commissioning in the boosted regime of algorithms used to identify jets originating from bottom quarks is also discussed. Many studies have highlighted the potential of using jet substructure techniques to improve the sensitivity in physics searches. An overview of recent CMS results employing these techniques is presented.

Show moreThe mechanisms leading to the hadronic final state of high-energy proton-proton collisions remain an unresolved issue at the RHIC and LHC. A substantial contribution to the hadronic final state from minimum-bias (MB) jets is dominated by non-perturbative processes and may provide the common base for any high-energy dijet. Observation of a same-side (on azimuth)“ridge” in LHC p-p collisions suggests to some that hydrodynamic flows may play a role in that small system at higher energies. The issue of p-p centrality vs triggered jets has emerged in the context of gluon trans- verse distributions in the proton inferred from DIS data. Attempts have been made to isolate and study the underlying event (UE) complementary to triggered dijets, and it is suggested that multiple parton interactions may contribute to the UE. Reference [1] considered theoretical and experimental results for UE systematics and p-p centrality in the context of a two-component (soft+hard) model derived from single-particle pt spectrum nch systematics. The study concluded that there may be a substantial contribution to the UE from the triggered dijet and that p-p centrality is not controlled significantly by a jet trigger condition (if p-p centrality is relevant at all). Further study of two-particle correlations in p-p collisions was called for, particularly the nch dependence of MB correlations. We report a comprehensive study of MB (no pt cuts) angular correlations and trigger-associated (TA) yt correlations (transverse rapidity yt = ln[(mt + pt)/mπ]) from 200 GeV p-p collisions. Angular correlations are characterized by 2D model fits that accurately distinguish among proton dissociation structure (soft), jet-related structure (hard) and a nonjet azimuth quadrupole. All angular correlations are simply represented by a (2+1)-component model. The hard and quadrupole component scale simply with the soft-component multiplicity ns, clarifying the role of centrality and the eikonal model in p-p collisions. 2D TA correlations project to a marginal 1D trigger spectrum that can be simply predicted from pt spec- trum nch dependence. 2D TA distributions can then be processed to reveal MB jet fragment (hard component) systematics comparable to measured fragmentation functions. Hard-component azimuth dependence relative to the trigger relates to UE studies. From TA analysis we can establish the kinematic limits of jet fragment production in p-p collisions.

Show moreRecent results on searches for new physics from Run 1 of the Large Hadron Collider are reported. The ATLAS experiment has already collected more than 20 fb−1 of integrated luminosity, allowing for a large number of new phenomena searches in many different final states. No deviations from the Standard Model expectations are found, and corresponding constraints on physics beyond the Standard Model are obtained.

Show moreTwo-dimensional angular correlation data from the STAR experiment at RHIC and from the LHC experiments provide critical information about dynamical processes in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The principal correlation structures of interest are a broad jet-related peak at small relative azimuth (φ) extending to large relative pseudorapidity (η), the dijet ridge at large relative azimuth, and an independent double ridge on φ represented by a quadrupole function. The broad peak at small relative azimuth has been attributed, in large part, to initial-state fluctuations and hydrodynamic flow which produce higher-order harmonics on φ. That conjecture is challenged in this paper. It is shown that the net effect of additional higher harmonic model elements is to describe small, non-Gaussian (NG) shapes in the broad jet-related peak. The quadrupole correlation, which is also conventionally attributed to hydrodynamic flow, is considered within the Balitsky - Fadin - Kuraev - Lipatov (BFKL) Pomeron framework. Preliminary results using this model for the quadrupole correlation for particle production from 200 GeV p + p collisions are shown to be consistent with recent data from STAR.

Show moreIn this talk we show the influence of the target on multiparticle production in the forward hemisphere in p+Pb collisions at top SPS energy. The multiplicity distributions appear to be almost target independent in the projectile fragmentation domain and the effect of fluctuations of the number of target participants is not seen in the projectile fragmentation region. We compare the obtained results with those for p+p interactions and predictions of models.
