QCD sum rule calculation of {gamma}{gamma}{sup *} {r_arrow} {pi}{sup 0} transition form factor (open access)

QCD sum rule calculation of {gamma}{gamma}{sup *} {r_arrow} {pi}{sup 0} transition form factor

The authors develop a QCD sum rule analysis of the form factor F{sub {gamma}{sup *}{gamma}{sup *}{pi}{sup 0}}(q{sup 2},Q{sup 2}) in the region where virtuality of one of the spacelike photons is small q{sup 2} {much_lt} 1 GeV{sup 2} while another is large: Q{sup 2} {approx_gt} 1 GeV{sup 2}. They construct the operator product expansion suitable for this kinematic situation and obtain a QCD sum rule for F{sub {gamma}{sup *}{gamma}{sup *}{pi}{sup 0}}(0, Q{sup 2}). Their results confirm expectation that the momentum transfer dependence of F{sub {gamma}{sup *}{gamma}{sup *}{pi}{sup 0}}(0,Q{sup 2}) is close to interpolation between its Q{sup 2}=0 value fixed by the axial anomaly and Q{sup {minus}2} pQCD behavior for large Q{sup 2}. Their approach, in contrast to pQCD, does not require additional assumptions about the shape of the pion distribution amplitude {var_phi}{sub {pi}}(x). The absolute value of the 1/Q{sup 2} term obtained in this paper favors {var_phi}{sub {pi}}(x) close to the asymptotic form {var_phi}{sub {pi}}{sup as}(x) = 6f{sub {pi}}x(1{minus}x).

Radiation dose assessment methodology and preliminary dose estimates to support US Department of Energy radiation control criteria for regulated treatment and disposal of hazardous wastes and materials (open access)

Radiation dose assessment methodology and preliminary dose estimates to support US Department of Energy radiation control criteria for regulated treatment and disposal of hazardous wastes and materials

This report provides unit dose to concentration levels that may be used to develop control criteria for radionuclide activity in hazardous waste; if implemented, these criteria would be developed to provide an adequate level of public and worker health protection, for wastes regulated under U.S, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements (as derived from the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act [RCRA] and/or the Toxic Substances Control Act [TSCA]). Thus, DOE and the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission can fulfill their obligation to protect the public from radiation by ensuring that such wastes are appropriately managed, while simultaneously reducing the current level of dual regulation. In terms of health protection, dual regulation of very small quantities of radionuclides provides no benefit.

The comparison of element partitioning in two types of thermal treatment facilities and the effects on potential radiation dose (open access)

The comparison of element partitioning in two types of thermal treatment facilities and the effects on potential radiation dose

The US Department of Energy (DOE) is performing a technical analysis to support the potential development of risk-based, numerical radiological control criteria (RCC) for mixed waste from DOE operations. As part of the technical analysis, potential future radiation doses are being calculated for workers at thermal treatment facilities and members of the public residing near such facilities. This study compared two types of thermal treatment systems: a conventional combustion chamber with excess air, represented by a rotary kiln with afterburner, and an oxygen-deficient pyrolysis unit, represented by a plasma arc furnace. The purpose of the first part of this study is to estimate the partitioning for significant radionuclides and elements in the two types of thermal treatment systems. Excess-air systems are generally found to produce heavy-metal chlorides, oxides, and sulfates; plasma-arc systems tend to produce more volatile free metals. This difference causes a change in source term dominance from halide volatility to free metal volatility. Chemical thermodynamic methodology is used to estimate partitioning in the two treatment systems. The second part of the study examines how the potential radiation dose to workers handling residue materials is affected by partitioning of radionuclides at the different types of facilities.

Thomson scattering diagnostic analyses to determine the energetic particle distributions in TFTR. Final report (open access)

Thomson scattering diagnostic analyses to determine the energetic particle distributions in TFTR. Final report

Lodestar has been an active participant in the low power Collective Thomson Scattering (CTS) diagnostic at TFTR in collaboration with MIT. Extensive studies were conducted regarding the use of gyrotron scattering as a low cost diagnostic for both energetic ions and alpha particles on TFTR. The numerical scattering code has been improved and compared with similar code developed at JET. The authors have participated and assisted in the CTS experiments through onsite visits and have successfully performed most of the data analysis tasks remotely. Through their analysis on the initial data base accumulated, they are able to understand qualitatively the general features of the anomalous large scattered signal, have proposed an explanation for its generation mechanism, and have suggested a potential new use of CTS as an edge diagnostic.

Gas cylinder disposal pit remediation waste minimization and management (open access)

Gas cylinder disposal pit remediation waste minimization and management

A remediation of a gas cylinder disposal pit at Sandia National Laboratories, New Mexico has recently been completed. The cleanup prevented possible spontaneous releases of hazardous gases from corroded cylinders that may have affected nearby active test areas at Sandia`s Technical Area III. Special waste management, safety, and quality plans were developed and strictly implemented for this project. The project was conceived from a waste management perspective, and waste minimization and management were built into the planning and implementation phases. The site layout was planned to accommodate light and heavy equipment, storage of large quantities of suspect soil, and special areas to stage and treat gases and reactive chemicals removed from the pit, as well as radiation protection areas. Excavation was a tightly controlled activity using experienced gas cylinder and reactive chemical specialists. Hazardous operations were conducted at night under lights, to allow nearby daytime operations to function unhindered. The quality assurance plan provided specific control of, and documentation for, critical decisions, as well as the record of daily operations. Both hand and heavy equipment excavation techniques were utilized. Hand excavation techniques were utilized. Hand excavation techniques allows sealed glass containers to be exhumed unharmed. In the end, several dozen …

The D0 Upgrade (open access)

The D0 Upgrade

In this paper we describe the approved DO Upgrade detector, and its physics capabilities. The DO Upgrade is under construction and will run during the next Fermilab collider running period in early 1999 (Run II). The upgrade is designed to work at the higher luminosities and shorter bunch spacings expected during this run. The major elements of t he upgrade are: a new tracking system with a silicon tracker, scintillating fiber tracker, a 2T solenoid, and a central preshower detector; new calorimeter electronics; new muon trigger and tracking detectors with new muon system electronics; a forward preshower detector; new trigger electronics and DAQ improvements to handle the higher rates.

Diphoton production in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV (open access)

Diphoton production in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV

We present measurements of the inclusive {gamma}{gamma} cross section (as a function of invariant mass and photon {epsilon}{sub {tau}}), in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV, made using the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The next is leading order (NLO) QCD prediction is found to be in good agreement with the data. The effects of invariant mass and diphoton balance cuts, which test the next-to-leading order contributions to the cross section, are investigated. We also compare the distribution of {kappa}{sub {tau}} between samples of diphotons and highly electromagnetic jets, and find that the NLO QCD prediction models the shape of the {gamma}{gamma} {kappa}{sub {tau}} distribution quite well.

Inclusive muon and b quark production cross sections in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV (open access)

Inclusive muon and b quark production cross sections in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV

We report on the measurement of inclusive muon and b quark production by the D0 collaboration in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The results represent a refined analysis of the previously published 1992--93 data. We measure the muon cross section due to b quark decays over the kinematic range 4 < p{sub T}{sup {mu}} < 30 GeV/c and {vert_bar}y{sup {mu}}{vert_bar} < 0.8. The extracted b quark production cross section is consistent with next to leading order QCD predictions within theoretical and experimental errors. The improved inclusive b quark production cross section is 6.9 {plus_minus}0.1(stat) {plus_minus} 2.2(syst) {mu}b for p{sub T}{sup {mu}} > 6 GeV/c and {vert_bar}y{sup b}{vert_bar} < 1.0.

J/{psi} production in p{anti p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV (open access)

J/{psi} production in p{anti p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV

The authors have studied J/{psi} production in p{anti p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV with the D0 detector at Fermilab, using a {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup {minus}} data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 13 pb{sup {minus}1}. They have measured the inclusive J/{psi} production cross section as a function of J/{psi} transverse momentum p{sub T}. For the kinematic range p{sub T} > 8 GeV/c and {vert_bar}{eta}{vert_bar} < 0.6 they obtain Br(J/{psi} {yields} {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup {minus}}) {center_dot} {sigma}(p{anti p} {yields} J/{psi} + X) = 1.93 {+-} 0.16(stat) {+-} 0.43(syst) nb. Using the muon impact parameter they have estimated the fraction of J/{psi} mesons coming from B meson decays to be f{sub b} = 0.35 {+-} 0.09 (stat) {+-} 0.10 (syst) and inferred the inclusive b production cross section. From the information on the event topology a fraction of non-isolated J/{psi} events has been measured to be f{sub non-isol} = 0.64 {+-} 0.09(stat) {+-} 0.06(syst). They have also obtained the fraction of events resulting from radiative decays of {chi}{sub c} states as f{sub {chi}} = 0.30 {+-} 0.07(stat) {+-} 0.07(syst). They discuss the implications of the measurements for charmonium production processes.

Limits on the anomalous ZZ{gamma} and Z{gamma}{gamma} couplings in p{anti p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV (open access)

Limits on the anomalous ZZ{gamma} and Z{gamma}{gamma} couplings in p{anti p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV

The authors performed a direct search for the anomalous ZZ{gamma} and Z{gamma}{gamma} couplings by studying p{anti p} {yields} {ell}{ell}{gamma} + X, ({ell} = e, {mu}) events at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. A fit to the transverse energy spectrum of the photon in the signal events, based on the data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 14.3 pb{sup {minus}1} (13.7 pb{sup {minus}1}) for the electron (muon) channel, yields the following 95% confidence level limits on the anomalous CP-conserving ZZ{gamma} couplings: {vert_bar}h{sub 30}{sup Z}{vert_bar} < 1.8 (h{sub 40}{sup Z} = 0), and {vert_bar}h{sub 40}{sup Z}{vert_bar} < 0.5 (h{sub 30}{sup Z} = 0), for a form-factor scale {Lambda} = 500 GeV. Limits for the Z{gamma}{gamma} couplings and CP-violating couplings are also discussed.

Using a sample of 172 dimuon events, we have determined the time and flavor averaged mixing probability x to be 0.09 {plus_minus} 0.04(stat){plus_minus}0.03(sys) [preliminary] in agreement with the present world average.

Measurement of inclusive triple differential dijet cross section, d{sup 3}{sigma}/dE{sub T}d{eta}{sub 1}d{eta}{sub 2} in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV (open access)

Measurement of inclusive triple differential dijet cross section, d{sup 3}{sigma}/dE{sub T}d{eta}{sub 1}d{eta}{sub 2} in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV

Measurement of the inclusive triple differential dijet cross section, d{sup 3}{sigma}/dE{sub T}d{sub {eta}1}d{sub {eta}2}, at a center of mass energy {radical}s = 1.8 TeV with the D0 detector during the 1992--1993 run. The sensitivity of this measurement to different parton distribution functions is explored. A comparison of the data to NLO theory using different parton distributions functions indicates the need for a smaller gluon content in the x range accessible at the Tevatron than is predicted by current parton distribution sets.

Rapidity correlations between high p{sub T} intermediate vector bosons and jets in {bar p}p collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV (open access)

Rapidity correlations between high p{sub T} intermediate vector bosons and jets in {bar p}p collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV

D{O} has used W {yields} e{nu} and Z {yields} e{sup +}e{sup -} events produced in association with a high p{sub T}, jet to examine the effects of strong radiative corrections. We have compared the primary jet pseudorapidity distribution, as a function of reconstructed W or Z boson rapidity to leading order (LO) and Next-to-Leading order (NLO) QCD Monte Carlo generators, as well as a model based on extended color dipoles. We find that the primary jet is more central than either LO or NLO expectations. None of the Monte Carlo programs does a good job of predicting the shape of the jet distributions as a function of intermediate vector bosons rapidity.

Rapidity dependence of the inclusive J/{Psi} production in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV (open access)

Rapidity dependence of the inclusive J/{Psi} production in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV

We have studied J/{psi} production in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV with the D0 detector at Fermilab, using a {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup {minus}} data sample collected during the 1994--1995 collider run. We have measured the inclusive J/{psi} production cross section as a function of the J/{psi} transverse momentum, p{sub T}{sup J/{psi}}, in the central and forward rapidity regions. The cross section d{sigma}/dp{sub T}{sup J/{psi}} for {vert_bar}{eta}{sup J/{psi}}{vert_bar}<0.6 covers the p{sub T}{sup J/{psi}} range from 8 to 20 GeV/c. The new measurements are in a good agreement with the CDF and earlier D0 results. The cross section d{sigma}/dp{sub T}{sup J/{psi}} for 2.6 <{vert_bar}{eta}{sup J/{psi}}{vert_bar}<3.4 covers the p{sub T}{sup J/{psi}} range from 3 to 12 GeV/c. We combine the measurements in the two {vert_bar}{eta}{sup J/{psi}}{vert_bar} regions to calculate d{sigma}/d{eta}{sup J/{psi}} for p{sub T}{sup J/{psi}} > 8 GeV/c. The data are compared with the next-to-leading (NLO) QCD calculations, which take into account different J/{psi} production mechanisms.

Rapidity gaps between jets at D0 (open access)

Rapidity gaps between jets at D0

Results are presented from an analysis of the particle multiplicity distribution between high transverse energy jets produced at the Fermilab Tevatron p{bar p} Collider at {radical}s = 1.8 Tev. Using the D0 detector, we examine the particle multiplicity distribution between the two highest transverse energy jets. For events with large rapidity separation, we observed a significant excess of events at low tagged-particle multiplicity which is consistent with a strongly interacting color-singlet exchange process.

Search for anomalous WW and WZ production at D0 (open access)

Search for anomalous WW and WZ production at D0

We present a preliminary result from a search for anomalous WW and WZ production in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV using p{bar p} {yields} e{nu}jj events observed during the 1992-1993 run of the Fermilab Tevatron collider. A fit to the p{sub T} spectrum of W(e{nu}) yields direct limits on the CP-conserving anomalous WW{gamma} and WWZ coupling parameters of -0.89 < {Delta}{kappa} < 1.07 ({lambda} = 0) and -0.66 < {lambda} < 0.67 ({Delta}{kappa} = 0) at the 95% confidence level, assuming that the WWZ coupling parameters are equal to the WW{gamma} coupling parameters, and a form factor scale {Lambda} = 1.5 TeV.

Search for light top squarks with the D{O} detector (open access)

Search for light top squarks with the D{O} detector

We present preliminary results of a search for pair produced top squarks, the supersymmetric partners to the top quark, under the assumption that the two-body decay {bar t}{sub 1} {yields} b{bar W}{sub 1} and three-body decay {bar t}{sub 1} {yields} bW{bar Z}{sub 1} are kinematically forbidden. This scenario is realized if {bar t}{sub 1} is considerably lighter than all other squarks as well as {bar W}{sub 1}, all {bar v}s, and the top quark. Such light top squarks will dominantly decay via {bar t}{sub 1} {yields} c{bar Z}{sub 1} yielding a signal of two acollinear jets with (E){sub T}. The data reported here were taken during the 1992-1993 run of the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron p{bar p} collider operating at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV.

Search for W boson pair production in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV

The results of a search for W boson pair production in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV with subsequent decay to dilepton (e{mu}, ee, and {mu}{mu}) channels are presented. One event is observed with an expected background of 0.56 {plus_minus} 0.13 events with an integrated luminosity of approximately 14 pb{sup {minus}1}. Assuming equal strengths for the WWZ and WW{gamma} gauge boson coupling parameters {kappa} and {lambda}, limits on the CP-conserving anomalous coupling constants are {minus}2.6 < {delta}{kappa} < 2.8 and {minus}2.1 {lambda} < 2.1 at the 95% confidence level.

Studies of topological distributions of the three- and four-jet events in {bar p}p collisions at {radical}s = 1800 GeV with the D0 detector (open access)

Studies of topological distributions of the three- and four-jet events in {bar p}p collisions at {radical}s = 1800 GeV with the D0 detector

The global topologies of three- and four-jet events produced in {bar p}p interactions are described. the three- and four-jet events are selected from data recorded by the D0 detector at the Tevatron Collider operating at a center-of-mass energy of {radical}s = 1800 GeV. the measured normalized distributions of various topological variables are compared with parton-level predictions of the tree- level QCD calculations. The parton-level QCD calculations are found to be in good agreement with the data. The studies also show that the topological distributions of the different subprocesses involving different numbers of quarks are very similar and reproduce the measured distributions well.

A study of the strong coupling constant using W+ jets processes (open access)

A study of the strong coupling constant using W+ jets processes

The ratio of the number of W + 1 jet to W + 0 jet events is measured with the D0 detector using data from, the 1992--93 Tevatron Collider run. For the W {yields} e{nu} channel with a minimum jet E{sub T} cutoff of 25 GeV, the experimental ratio is 0.065 {+-} 0.003(stat) {+-} 0.007(sys). Next-to-Leading order QCD predictions for various parton distributions agree well with each other and are all over one standard deviation below the measurement. Varying the strong coupling constant {alpha}{sub s} in both the parton distributions and the partonic cross sections simultaneously does not remove this discrepancy.
