Search for the top quark and other new particles at D0 (open access)

Search for the top quark and other new particles at D0

Preliminary results from the search for the top quark and other new particles in p[bar p] collisions at [radical]s = 1.8 TeV are reported. In a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 7.5 pb[sup [minus]1], one candidate event for top quark is found in the di-lepton channel. A lower limit for the mass of the top quark of 103 GeV/c[sup 2] (99 Gev/c[sup 2]) is obtained at 95% confidence level with (without) background subtraction. Status of searches for other new particles that may arise from new phenomena beyond the standard model is summarized.

Processing Constraints on High-Level Nuclear Waste Glasses for Hanford Waste Vitrification Plant

The work presented in this paper is a part of a major technology program supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in preparation for the planned operation of the Hanford Waste Vitrification Plant (HWVP). Because composition of Hanford waste varies greatly, processability is a major concern for successful vitrification. This paper briefly surveys general aspects of waste glass processability and then discusses their ramifications for specific examples of Hanford waste streams.
