Strangeonium spectroscopy at 11 GeV/c and Cherenkov Ring Imaging at the SLD (open access)

Strangeonium spectroscopy at 11 GeV/c and Cherenkov Ring Imaging at the SLD

This thesis is divided into two sections, which describe portions of the data acquisition system and online software for the Cherenkov Ring Imaging Detector (CRID) for the SLD, and analyses of several low cross section strangeonium channels in data from the LASS spectrometer. The CRID section includes a description of the data acquisition system, determination of the preamplifier gain, and development of an online pulse finding algorithm based on deconvolution. Deconvolution uses knowledge of the preamplifier impulse response to aid in pulse finding. The algorithm is fast and shows good single pulse resolution and excellent double pulse resolution in preliminary tests. The strangeonium analyses are based on data from a 4.1 event/nanobarn exposure of the LASS spectrometer in K{sup {minus}}p interactions at 11 GeV/c, and include studies of {Lambda}{eta}{pi}{sup {plus}}{pi}{sup {minus}}, {Lambda}{Kappa}*{Kappa}*, and {Lambda}{phi}{phi}.

Neuropsychological Predicators for Return to Work Following Brain Injury (open access)

Neuropsychological Predicators for Return to Work Following Brain Injury

This paper discusses a study created to determine the connection between performance on several neuropsychological measures and return to work. Connie D. Henson explains the study, which involved 134 brain injured patients treated in an outpatient neuropsychological re-entry program, and resulted in some mild correlations found while testing.
