Abstract: Operation of the central portion of Virgo as a simple 6 m Michelson interferometer has given the first demonstration of the possibility to control an interferometer suspended from Virgo full scale multistage seismic attenuators using information derived from the interferometer locking signal. A special role in the control is played by the first stage of these suspensions, an inverted pendulum: besides its seismic preisolation action, this stage has positioning dynamics of several mm, and it allows to exert a very low frequency control at the upper level of the suspension using the interferometer fringe signal. The application of this feedback to the top-stage of the suspension allows corrections of drifts, such as tidal ones, at a stage of the suspension where a large dynamic range in displacements is available, without introducing noise at the level of the mirror, resulting in a significant reduction of the lock keeping force applied directly on the mirror at the lowest stage of the attenuator.

Abstract: Large optical components (diameter 350 mm), having extremely low loss at 1064 nm, are needed for the large-scale Michelson-type interferometer VIRGO. Today, ion beam sputtering is the only deposition technique able to produce optical components having such performances. Consequently, a large ion beam sputtering deposition system was built to coat large optics up to 700 mm in diameter: two large substrates may also be coated at the same time for interferometer arm symmetry problem. The performances of this coater are described in terms of layer uniformity on a large scale (wavefront) and optical losses (absorption and scattering). The VIRGO interferometer needs six main mirrors. The first set was ready in June 2002 and they have been installed on the VIRGO site (Italy). The optical performances of this first set are discussed. The requirements at 1064 nm are all satisfied. Indeed, the absorption level is close to 1 ppm (part per million), the scattering is lower than 5 ppm and the RMS wavefront of these optics is lower than 8 nm on 150 mm in diameter. Finally, some solutions are proposed to further improve these performances, especially the absorption level and the mechanical quality factor Q of the mirrors and the substrate wavefront before coating.

Abstract: This paper presents a complete description of Virgo, the French-Italian gravitational wave detector. The detector, built at Cascina, near Pisa (Italy), is a very large Michelson interferometer, with 3 km-long arms. In this paper, following a presentation of the physics requirements, leading to the specifications for the construction of the detector, a detailed description of all its different elements is given. These include civil engineering infrastructures, a huge ultra-high vacuum (UHV) chamber (about 6000 cubic metres), all of the optical components, including high quality mirrors and their seismic isolating suspensions, all of the electronics required to control the interferometer and for signal detection. The expected performances of these different elements are given, leading to an overall sensitivity curve as a function of the incoming gravitational wave frequency. This description represents the detector as built and used in the first data-taking runs. Improvements in different parts have been and continue to be performed, leading to better sensitivities. These will be detailed in a forthcoming paper. © 2012 IOP Publishing Ltd and Sissa Medialab srl.

Abstract: The commissioning of the VIRGO central interferometer occasioned the implementation and tests of various algorithms for the characterization of the non-Gaussianity, non-stationarity and non-linearity of the dark fringe data. This library of prototypes will serve as groundwork for the near commissioning of VIRGO (full scale). We make a summary of the activities on that subject including the description of the selected algorithms and some results obtained with the data of the engineering runs.

Abstract: We report on a direct search in NOMAD for a new 33.9 MeV/c^2 neutral particle (X) produced in pion decay in flight, pi-->mu_X followed by the decay X -->nu e^+e^-. Both decays are postulated to occur to explain the time anomaly observed by the KARMEN experiment. From the analysis of the data collected during the 1996?1998 runs with 4.1×10^19 protons on target, a single candidate event consistent with background expectations was found. The search is sensitive to a pion branching ratio BR(pi-->muX >3.7×10^-15, significantly smaller than previous experimental limits.

Abstract: In the energy region 10 - 100 TeV both the c.r. composition from direct measurements and the cross section for high energy secondary production in the very forward region for p-air interactions are rather uncertain. Contemporaneous measurements of the total energy and of the threshold energy/nucleon of the primary particle can be provided by the atmospheric Cherenkov light and high energy muons. These measurements are performed by the combined operation of the Cherenkov array of the EAS-TOP experiment on the surface (810 gcm(2) atmospheric depth) and of the LVD experiment in the underground Gran Sasso Laboratories (3300 m w.e.; E-mu(th) = 1.3 TeV) leading to the measurement of < N-mu > (E-mu > 1.3 TeV, E-o) in the given energy range. The combined operation of the experiments and preliminary results are reported.

Abstract: Results from the nu_tau appearance search in a neutrino beam using the full NOMAD data sample are reported. A new analysis unifies all the hadronic tau decays, significantly improving the overall sensitivity of the experiment to oscillations. The "blind analysis" of all topologies yields no evidence for an oscillation signal. In the two-family oscillation scenario, this sets a 90% C.L. allowed region in the sin^2(2theta)-Delta m^2 plane which includes sin^2(2theta) nu_tau oscillation hypothesis results in sin^2(2theta)

Abstract: Backward proton and $\pi^-$ production has been studied in $\nu_{\mu}CC$ interactions with carbon nuclei. Detailed analyses of the momentum distributions, of the production rates, and of the general features of events with a backward going particle, have been carried out in order to understand the mechanism producing these particles. The backward proton data have been compared with the predictions of the reinteraction and the short range correlation models.

Abstract: The Λ polarization in νμ charged current interactions has been measured in the NOMAD experiment. The event sample (8087 reconstructed Λ 's) is more than an order of magnitude larger than that of previous bubble chamber experiments, while the quality of event reconstruction is comparable. We observe negative polarization along the W -boson direction which is enhanced in the target fragmentation region: Px(xF 0)=−0.09±0.06(stat)±0.03(sys) . These results provide a test of different models describing the nucleon spin composition and the spin transfer mechanisms. A significant transverse polarization (in the direction orthogonal to the Λ production plane) has been observed for the first time in a neutrino experiment: Py=−0.22±0.03(stat)±0.01(sys) . The dependence of the absolute value of Py on the Λ transverse momentum with respect to the hadronic jet direction is in qualitative agreement with the results from unpolarized hadron–hadron experiments.

Abstract: We have measured the partial widths of the Z 0 into lepton pairs, and the forward-backward charge asymmetry for the process e + e − → μ + μ − using the L3 detector at LEP. We obtain an average Γ ll of 83.0±2.1±1.1 MeV.From this result and the asymmetry measurement, we extract the values of the vector and axial vector couplings of the Z 0 to leptons: g rmv =−0.066 −0.027 +0.046 and g rmA = −0.495 −0.007 +0.007 .

Abstract: The $\Lambda$ polarization in $\nu_\mu$ charged current interactions has been measured in the NOMAD experiment. The event sample (8087 reconstructed $\Lambda$'s) is more than an order of magnitude larger than that of previous bubble chamber experiments, while the quality of event reconstruction is comparable. We observe negative polarization along the $W$-boson direction which is enhanced in the target fragmentation region: $P_x (x_F 0) = -0.21 \pm 0.04 \mbox{(stat)} \pm 0.02 \mbox{(sys)}$. In the current fragmentation region we find $P_x (x_F 0) = -0.09 \pm 0.06 \mbox{(stat)} \pm 0.03 \mbox{(sys)}$. These results provide a test of different models describing the nucleon spin composition and the spin transfer mechanisms. A significant transverse polarization (in the direction orthogonal to the $\Lambda$ production plane) has been observed for the first time in a neutrino experiment: $P_y = -0.22 \pm 0.03 \mbox{(stat)} \pm 0.01 \mbox{(sys)}$. The dependence of the absolute value of $P_y$ on the $\Lambda$ transverse momentum with respect to the hadronic jet direction is in qualitative agreement with the results from unpolarized hadron-hadron experiments.

Abstract: In the context of a two-flavour approximation we reinterpret the published NOMAD limit on ν μ → ν τ oscillations in terms of ν e → ν τ oscillations. At 90% C.L. we obtain sin 2 2θ eτ 5.2×10 −2 for large Δm 2 , while for sin 2 2 θ eτ =1 the confidence region includes Δm 2 2 / c 4 .

Abstract: With additional data and improved algorithms, we have enhanced the sensitivity of our appearance search for $\numunutau$ oscillations in the NOMAD detector in the CERN-SPS wide-band neutrino beam. The search uses kinematic criteria to identify $\nutau$ charged current interactions followed by decay of the $\tau^-$ to one of several decay modes. Our ``blind'' analyses of deep-inelastic scattering data taken in 1996 and 1997, combined with consistent reanalyses of previously reported 1995 data, yield no oscillation signal. For the two-family oscillation scenario, we present the contour outlining a 90\% C.L. confidence region in the $\sin^22\theta_{\mu \tau} - \Delta m^2$ plane. At large $\Delta m^2$, the confidence region includes $\sin^22\theta_{\mu\tau}\ \ 1.2\times10^{-3}$ (a limit 3.5 times more stringent than in our previous publication), while at $\sin^22\theta_{\mu \tau}=1$, the confidence region includes $\Delta m^2 1.2$ eV$^2$/$c^4$.

Abstract: By focusing on the notion of electronic document, we differentiate two evolutions which are useful to distinct titles: on the one hand are the documents, which have value of reference. Its administrator will take care to preserve its integrity and its context of production which is strongly significant. On the other hand are resources, evolutionary elements by nature, which the user must be able to appropriate and who must thus be placed at the disposal so that the production is erased, to focus on a logic of exploitation and service.

Abstract: The design of the fine grained 300 t liquid argon calorimeter BARS is described. The BARS electronics include about 30 K channels of low noise amplifiers and ADCs. The DAQ system makes it possible to select channels with signals above the chosen threshold. 48 scintillation hodoscopes placed inside the liquid argon are used to form the first level trigger. The total number of scintillation counters in liquid argon is 384. Sums of ionization signals are used to produce the second level trigger. Results of the first use of liquid argon calorimetry for the measurements of tagged neutrino interactions, cosmic-ray muon spectra and composition of extensive atmospheric showers are discussed.

Abstract: NOMAD is a neutrino oscillation experiment designed to search for ντ appearance in the CERN-SPS wide band νμ beam. Signal detection relies on the identification of ντ charged current interactions using kinematic criteria. The analysis of the 1995 data sample yields no oscillation signal. Combining all studied τ decay modes, a limit of sin 2 2θ μτ 4.2×10 −3 is obtained for large Δm2 at the 90% confidence level.

Abstract: The goal of the VIRGO program is to build a giant Michelson type interferometer (3 kilometer long arms) to detect gravitational waves. Large optical components (350 mm in diameter), having extremely low loss at 1064 nm, are needed. Today, the Ion beam Sputtering is the only deposition technique able to produce optical components with such performances. Consequently, a large ion beam sputtering deposition system was built to coat large optics up to 700 mm in diameter. The performances of this coater are described in term of layer uniformity on large scale and optical losses (absorption and scattering characterization). The VIRGO interferometer needs six main mirrors. The first set was ready in June 2002 and its installation is in progress on the VIRGO site (Italy). The optical performances of this first set are discussed. The requirements at 1064 nm are all satisfied. Indeed, the absorption level is close to 1 ppm (part per million), the scattering is lower than 5 ppm and the R.M.S. wavefront of these optics is lower than 8 nm on 150 mm in diameter. Finally, some solutions are proposed to further improve these performances, especially the absorption level (lower than 0.1 ppm) and the mechanical quality factor Q of the mirrors (thermal noise reduction).

Abstract: We present the last-stage suspension for the mirrors of the gravitational wave antenna Virgo. We studied some problems encountered during the commissioning of the Virgo central interferometer (CITF) and solved them with the aim of achieving the target sensitivity of the detector in its final configuration. We measured the effect of the holder on the internal motion of the mirror, and the residual nonlinear couplings between the electromagnetic actuators and the metallic parts present on the last-stage suspension. The limits experienced on the Virgo CITF have helped us to define some important modifications to be applied to the last-stage suspension. Moreover, we present the experimental study of west input mirror internal modes after it was dismounted from the Virgo central interferometer. The results were useful to identify, in the data of the engineering run 4 of the CITF, the thermal peaks of such a mirror.

21. Geologic Interpretation and Assessment of Early Cretaceous Shale Oil and Gas Potential in Austral Basin, Santa Cruz, Argentina

Abstract: Summary Organic-rich, marine shale Valanginian to Early Aptian Lower to Middle members of Palermo Aike Formation are the main source rock in Austral Basin, Argentina, with an average thickness of 250 meters and six vertically stacked transgressive-regressive cycles. TOC values range from 0.5 to 2.5%, kerogen type II to III and HI from 150 to 300 mg HC/g TOC. About 6.5 billion boe was recovered from Cretaceous to Lower Tertiary conventional reservoirs in the last 50 years. At present time, the beginning of the oil window in a regional NW-SE framework start at 2,100 meters depth in the eastern flank of fore-deep basin (10,000 sq km), wet gas window is reached at 3,500 meters (5,000 sq km), and dry gas window at 4,300 meters, in the fore-deep and foothill to the west (10,500 sq km). This unit outcrops in the Andean Ranges. More than 100 wireline logs, 6,000 sq km 3-D seismic and 20,000 km 2-D seismic were used to build the sequence stratigraphic framework, to calibrate the sonic and resistivity curves (Passey method), mapping key seismic stratigraphic surfaces and seismic attributes. Selected cores and cuttings samples were used for analytical research, including litofacies, SEM for pore types and networks, geochemistry for source rock potential, paleoenvironmental indicators and mineralogical composition. Abundance of hydrocarbon shows were detected while drilling this interval. The C1- C5+ ratio calculation was integrated with wireline logs and mud-log data. Pore pressure analyses show intervals with abnormally high pressures due to hydrocarbon generation. A complex fault system is affecting Palermo Aike formation. It is composed by (1) N-S to NE-SW strike-slip trends resulting of the deeper hemi-graben bounding normal fault reactivation in the Danian times and (2) normal faults forming a polygonal network. The polygonal faults system is closely spaced (1-2 sq km), and faults mapping is possible only with 3-D seismic data. The polygonal faults suggest a compaction-related mechanism restricted to low-permeability facies in the transition between the fore-deep and the fore-bulge. Combination of both systems may enhance shale’s productivity. Integration of available subsurface in Santa Cruz province and outcrop data allowed to identify potential sweet spot or core areas. Non economic production was performed from this play, for that reason a probabilistic assessment of prospective resources was made comparing with analogous producing basins in the world. Unrisked resources from the unconventional Lower Cretaceous Shale Play are about 1.0 billion barrels of oil and 85 TCF of gas.

Abstract: We present our new measurement of the cross-section for charm dimuon production in neutrino iron interactions based upon the full statistics collected by the NOMAD experiment. After background subtraction we observe 15 344 charm dimuon events, providing the largest sample currently available. The analysis exploits the large inclusive charged current sample - about 9 x 10(6) events after all analysis cuts - and the high resolution NOMAD detector to constrain the total systematic uncertainty on the ratio of charm dimuon to inclusive Charged Current (CC) cross-sections to similar to 2%. We also perform a fit to the NOMAD data to extract the charm production parameters and the strange quark sea content of the nucleon within the NLO QCD approximation. We obtain a value of m(c)(m(c)) = 1.159 +/- 0.075 GeV/c(2) for the running mass of the charm quark in the (MS) over bar scheme and a strange quark sea suppression factor of kappa(s) = 0.591 +/- 0.019 at Q(2) = 20 GeV2/c(2)., We extend our grateful appreciations to the CERN SPS staff for the magnificent performance of the neutrino beam. The experiment was supported by the following agencies: ARC and DIISR of Australia, IN2P3 and CEA of France, BMBF of Germany, INFN of Italy, JINR and INR of Russia, FNSRS of Switzerland, DOE, NSF, Sloan, and Cottrell Foundations of USA, and VP Research Office of the University of South Carolina.

Abstract: We present a search for neutrino induced events containing a single, exclusive photon using data from the NOMAD experiment at the CERN SPS where the average energy of the neutrino flux is ≃25 GeV. The search is motivated by an excess of electron-like events in the 200-475 MeV energy region as reported by the MiniBooNE experiment. In NOMAD, photons are identified via their conversion to e + e - in an active target embedded in a magnetic field. The background to the single photon signal is dominated by the asymmetric decay of neutral pions produced either in a coherent neutrino-nucleus interaction, or in a neutrino-nucleon neutral current deep inelastic scattering, or in an interaction occurring outside the fiducial volume. All three backgrounds are determined in situ using control data samples prior to opening the 'signal-box'. In the signal region, we observe 155 events with a predicted background of 129.2±8.5±3.3. We interpret this as null evidence for excess of single photon events, and set a limit. Assuming that the hypothetical single photon has a momentum distribution similar to that of a photon from the coherent π 0 decay, the measurement yields an upper limit on single photon events, Physics Letters B, 706 (4-5), ISSN:0370-2693, ISSN:0031-9163, ISSN:1873-2445

Abstract: The reactione + e - →e + e - ηπ0π0→e + e - 6γ has been analysed using the full data sample taken with the Crystal Ball detector at the DORIS II storage ring at DESY. The ηπ0π0 invariant mass spectrum is dominated by the η', for which we determine the radiative width Γγγ(η') to be (4.5±0.3±0.5)keV. Near 1.9 GeV/c2 we observe a second enhancement in the ηπ0π0 mass distribution. Assuming that these events are created by the production and subsequent decay of a wide resonanceX(1900), we have investigated the decay modes, the invariant mass distributions of the ηπ0 and π0π0 subsystems and the angular distributions of the final state mesons. We find that the data is best described byJ PC=2∓. For thisJ P assignment the resonance parameters are Γγγ(X) BR(X→ηππ)=(0.95±0.27±0.20) keV Γtot (X)=(221±92±44)MeV, andM(X)=(1881±32±40) MeV/c2.

Abstract: We present a study of exclusive neutral pion production in neutrino-nucleus Neutral Current interactions using data from the NOMAD experiment at the CERN SPS. The data correspond to $1.44 \times 10^6$ muon-neutrino Charged Current interactions in the energy range $2.5 \leq E_{\nu} \leq 300$ GeV. Neutrino events with only one visible $\pi^0$ in the final state are expected to result from two Neutral Current processes: coherent $\pi^0$ production, {\boldmath $\nu + {\cal A} \to \nu + {\cal A} + \pi^0$} and single $\pi^0$ production in neutrino-nucleon scattering. The signature of coherent $\pi^0$ production is an emergent $\pi^0$ almost collinear with the incident neutrino while $\pi^0$'s produced in neutrino-nucleon deep inelastic scattering have larger transverse momenta. In this analysis all relevant backgrounds to the coherent $\pi^0$ production signal are measured using data themselves. Having determined the backgrounds, and using the Rein-Sehgal model for the coherent $\pi^0$ production to compute the detection efficiency, we obtain {\boldmath $4630 \pm 522 (stat) \pm 426 (syst)$} corrected coherent-$\pi^0$ events with $E_{\pi^0} \geq 0.5$ GeV. We measure {\boldmath $\sigma (\nu {\cal A} \to \nu {\cal A} \pi^0) = [ 72.6 \pm 8.1(stat) \pm 6.9(syst) ] \times 10^{-40} cm^2/nucleus$}. This is the most precise measurement of the coherent $\pi^0$ production to date., Comment: 23 pages, 9 figures, accepted for publication in Phys. Lett. B

Abstract: We have studied the muon neutrino and antineutrino quasi-elastic (QEL) scattering reactions ($\nu_\mu n\to \mu^- p$ and $\bar{\nu}_\mu p\to \mu^+ n$) using a set of experimental data collected by the NOMAD collaboration. We have performed measurements of the cross-section of these processes on a nuclear target (mainly Carbon) normalizing it to the total $\nu_\mu$ ($\bar{\nu}_\mu$) charged current cross-section. The results for the flux averaged QEL cross-sections in the (anti)neutrino energy interval 3-100 GeV are $\sigma^{qel}_{\nu_\mu} = (0.92 \pm 0.02 (stat) \pm 0.06 (syst))\times 10^{-38} \cm^2$ and $\sigma{qel}_{\bar{\nu}_\mu} = (0.81 \pm 0.05 (stat) \pm 0.08 (syst))\times 10^{-38} \cm^2$ for neutrino and antineutrino, respectively. The axial mass parameter $M_A$ was extracted from the measured quasi-elastic neutrino cross-section. The corresponding result is $M_A = 1.05 \pm 0.02 (stat) \pm 0.06 (syst) GeV$. It is consistent with the axial mass values recalculated from the antineutrino cross-section and extracted from the pure $Q^2$ shape analysis of the high purity sample of $\nu_\mu$ quasi-elastic 2-track events, but has smaller systematic error and should be quoted as the main result of this work. Our measured $M_A$ is found to be in good agreement with the world average value obtained in previous deuterium filled bubble chamber experiments. The NOMAD measurement of $M_A$ is lower than those recently published by K2K and MiniBooNE collaborations. However, within the large errors quoted by these experiments on $M_A$, these results are compatible with the more precise NOMAD value., Comment: 26 pages, 18 figures, submitted to Eur.Phys.J.C

Abstract: The Crystal Ball detector at the DORIS II storage ring at DESY has been used to measure the branching ratios for the decay modes τ ± →h ± π 0 ν and τ ± →h ± π 0 π 0 ν , where h ± is any charged hadron. The results are BR( τ ± → h ± π 0 ν ) = (22.0±0.8±1.9)%, BR( τ ± → h ± π 0 π 0 ν ) = (5.7±0.5 +1.0 −1.7 )%. The first result is in good agreement with the present world average. The decay mode h ± π 0 π 0 ν is reconstructed in τ decays for the first time. Its branching ratio, however, is somewhat lower than the corresponding world average, and therefore tends to increase the one-prong problem.

Abstract: We present a study of the inclusive production of neutral pions and charged particles from 112 000 hadronic Z 0 decays. The measured inclusive momentum distributions can be reproduced by parton shower Monte Carlo programs and also by an analytical QCD calculation. Comparing our results to e + e − data between √ s = 9 and 91 GeV, we findfind that the evolution of the spectra with center of mass energy is consistent with the QCD predictions.

Abstract: From 2540 Z0 → τ+τ− events, we determine the inclusive decay branching fractions of the τ-lepton into one and three charged particles to be 0.856 ± 0.006 (stat.) ± 0.003 (syst.) and 0.144 ± 0.006 (stat.) ± 0.003 (syst.), respectively. The leptonic branching fractions are measured to be 0.175 ± 0.008 (stat.) ± 0.005 (syst.) for τ → μνμντ and 0.177 ± 0.007 (stat.) ± 0.006 (syst.) for τ → eνeντ. We determined the τ lifetime both from three-prong decays using the decay length and from one-prong decays using the impact parameter. The results from the two independent methods agree and yield a combined value of [0.309 ± 0.023 (stat.) ± 0.030 (syst.)] × 10−12s.

Abstract: We present evidence for a dependence of the average deep underground muon energies on shower size in the coincident EAS-TOP and LVD data at the Gran Sasso laboratories. The measured relation agrees with a mixed chemical composition of the cosmic ray primary spectrum at energies around 10(15) eV. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract: We present a measurement of the muon neutrino–nucleon inclusive charged current cross section, off an isoscalar target, in the neutrino energy range 2.5 ⩽ E ν ⩽ 40 GeV . The significance of this measurement is its precision, ±4% in 2.5 ⩽ E ν ⩽ 10 GeV , and ±2.6% in 10 ⩽ E ν ⩽ 40 GeV regions, where significant uncertainties in previous experiments still exist, and its importance to the current and proposed long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments.

Abstract: We have measured the forward-backward asymmetry in Z 0 → b b decays using hadronic events containing muons and electrons. The data sample corresponds to 118 200 hadronic events at √s≈Mz. From a fit to the single and dilepton p and P⊥ spectra, we determine A b b =0.130 −0.042 +0.044 including the correction for B 0 − B 0 mixing.

Abstract: The Crystal Ball detector at thee+e− storage ring DORIS II has been used to analyze exclusive semileptonic decays ofB mesons produced at γ(4S) energies. The decayB→evD* has been observed with a branching ratio of (7.0±1.8±1.4)% using theπ°D decay mode of theD*. In addition we have searched for the exclusive semileptonic decayB±→e±vπ0. We find an upper limit onB±→e±vπ0 of 0.22% at the 90% CL.

Abstract: We have searched for axion and light Higgs boson production in the channel ϒ (1 S ) → (a 0 or h 0 ) + γ , where the non-interacting axion a 0 and the Higgs boson h 0 do not decay in the detector. We find no evidence for an axion and give an upper limit, Br( ϒ (1S) → a 0 γ ) −5 (90% CL), for long-lived axions. Combining our limit with the previous search in J / ψ decays, we are able to rule out the axion in the standard model with first order QCD corrections. Our ϒ (1S) data also rule out a Higgs boson with mass m h

Abstract: Whatever the field, major change implies as much as deep transformation of thinking i.e to put in network new skills in particular, those made available by the availability of new technologies. In this context, only one individual cannot join together all necessary skills. It becomes clear that the goal of space valorization cannot be considered without relational investment between the partners and their accumulated background. The local empowerment concerns a collective phenomenon of acquisition and development of skills rests on an learning way appropriate to the potential of the territory to form or promote. The local mediation sets for objective the creation of relations between pre-existent skills and their transfer between the actors, individuals or groups, private or public. But the capacity of the territory to solve these problems will depend closely on the richness of the network and co-operations which it shelters or it will suggest.

Abstract: The reaction ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$ has been analyzed using 97 ${\mathrm{pb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ of data taken with the Crystal Ball detector at the DESY ${e}^{\ensuremath{-}}{e}^{+}$ storage ring DORIS II at beam energies around 5.3 GeV. For the first time we have measured the cross section for $\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$ for ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$ mvariant masses ranging from threshold to about 2 GeV. We measure an approximately flat cross section of about 10 nb for $W={m}_{{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}}l0.8$ GeV, which is below 0.6 GeV, in good agreement with a theoretical prediction based on an unitarized Born-term model. At higher invariant masses we observe formation of the ${f}_{2}(1270)$ resonance and a hint of the ${f}_{0}(975)$. We deduce the following two-photon widths: ${\ensuremath{\Gamma}}_{\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\gamma}}({f}_{2}(1270))=3.19\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}{0.16\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}_{0.28}^{0.29}$ keV and ${\ensuremath{\Gamma}}_{\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\gamma}}({f}_{0}(975))l0.53$ keV at 90% C.L. The decay-angular distributions show the ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$ system to be dominantly spin 0 for $Wl0.7$ GeV and spin 2, helicity 2 in the ${f}_{2}(1270)$ region, with helicity 0 contributing at most 22% (90% C.L.).

41. Prompt neutrinos and oscillations with mass differences of cosmological relevance

Author: G. Conforto
Subjects: Physics, Particle physics, Oscillation, Measurements of neutrino speed, Elementary particle, Astrophysics, Neutrino, Cosmology, Mixing (physics)
Abstract: Prompted by cosmological considerations, a scenario is considered in which the most massive neutrino has a massm ν≲25 eV while the other neutrinos are much lighter. The possibility of oscillations characterized by Δm 2≲m 2 ν is examined, with the conclusion thatν e↔ν x oscillations (x≠μ and possiblyx=τ) with sizeable mixing angles are not just allowed but in fact rather strongly indicated by the existing data on prompt neutrinos. The best values for the oscillation parameters Δm 2=(377±27±7) eV2, sin22α=0.48±0.10±0.05 are not in serious conflict with any of the existing limits.

Abstract: The L3 experiment is one of the six large detectors designed for the new generation of electron-positron accelerators. It is the only detector that concentrates its efforts on limited goals of measuring electrons, muons and photons. By not attempting to identify hadrons, L3 has been able to provide an order of magnitude better resolution for electrons, muons and photons. Vertices and hadron jets are also studied. The construction of L3 has involved much state of the art technology in new principles of vertex detection and in new crystals for large scale electromagnetic shower detection and ultraprecise muon detection. This paper presents a summary of the construction of L3.

Abstract: We have searched for charged and neutral leptons. We exclude stable Dirac neutrinos below 42.8 GeV and stable Majorana neutrinos below 34.8 GeV. From a search for unstable neutrinos we exclude masses below 46.4 GeV (Dirac) and below 45.1 GeV (Majorana). We exclude all masses of sequential charged and neutral leptons, except if both masses are larger than 42.8 GeV (for stable Dirac neutrinos). All mass limits correspond to 95% CL.

The special background generation procedure was developed. The proton identification criteria are tuned to maximize the sensitivity to the Θ(+) signal as a function of x(F) which allows to study the Θ(+) production mechanism. We do not observe any evidence for the Θ(+) state in the NOMAD data. We provide an upper limit on Θ(+) production rate at 90% CL as 2.13 x 10(-3) per neutrino interaction., The experiment was supported by the following funding agencies: Australian Research Council (ARC) and Department of Education, Science, and Training (DEST), Australia; Institut National de Physique Nucléaire et Physique des Particules (IN2P3), Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique (CEA), France; Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF, contract 05 6DO52), Germany; Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Italy; Joint Institute for Nuclear Research and Institute for Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia; Fonds National Suisse de la Recherche Scientifique, Switzerland; Department of Energy, National Science Foundation (grant PHY-9526278), the Sloan and the Cottrell Foundations, USA.

45. Is the solar neutrino deficit energy-dependent?

Abstract: All existing measurements of the solar neutrino flux are compared with the predictions of the most recent solar model by Bahcall and Pinsonneault, modified by introducing the hypothesis of neutrino oscillations with mass differences large enough to render energy-independent any quantity observable on earth. It is concluded that the data are consistent with this hypothesis and that, at least for the time being, any energy-dependence of the solar neutrino deficit must be regarded as just an attractive theoretical possibility, but not as a compelling reality., Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure, contributed paper to the XVIII Int.

Abstract: First measurements of K*(892) mesons production properties and their spin alignment in nu_mu charged current (CC) and neutral current (NC) interactions are presented. The analysis of the full data sample of the NOMAD experiment is performed in different kinematic regions. For K*+ and K*- mesons produced in nu_mu CC interactions and decaying into K0 pi+/- we have found the following yields per event: (2.6 +/- 0.2 (stat.) +/- 0.2 (syst.))% and (1.6 +/- 0.1 (stat.) +/- 0.1 (syst.))% respectively, while for the K*+ and K*- mesons produced in nu NC interactions the corresponding yields per event are: (2.5 +/- 0.3 (stat.) +/- 0.3 (syst.))% and (1.0 +/- 0.3 (stat.) +/- 0.2 (syst.))%. The results obtained for the rho00 parameter, 0.40 +/- 0.06 (stat) +/- 0.03 (syst) and 0.28 +/- 0.07 (stat) +/- 0.03 (syst) for K*+ and K*- produced in nu_mu CC interactions, are compared to theoretical predictions tuned on LEP measurements in e+e- annihilation at the Z0 pole. For K*+ mesons produced in nu NC interactions the measured rho00 parameter is 0.66 +/- 0.10 (stat) +/- 0.05 (syst)., 20 pp

Abstract: Bose-Einstein Correlations in one and two dimensions have been studied, with high statistics, in charged current muon-neutrino interaction events collected with the NOMAD detector at CERN. In one dimension the Bose-Einstein effect has been analyzed with the Goldhaber and the Kopylov-Podgoretskii phenomenological parametrizations. The Goldhaber parametrization gives the radius of the pion emission region R_G = 1.01+/-0.05(stat)+0.09-0.06(sys) fm and for the chaoticity parameter the value lambda = 0.40+/-0.03(stat)+0.01-0.06(sys). Using the Kopylov-Podgoretskii parametrization yields R_KP = 2.07+/-0.04(stat)+0.01-0.14(sys) fm and lambda_KP = 0.29+/-0.06(stat)+0.01-0.04(sys). Different parametrizations of the long-range correlations have been also studied. The two-dimensional shape of the source has been investigated in the longitudinal co-moving frame. A significant difference between the transverse and the longitudinal dimensions is observed. The high statistics of the collected sample allowed the study of the Bose-Einstein correlations as a function of rapidity, charged particle multiplicity and hadronic energy. A weak dependence of both radius and chaoticity on multiplicity and hadronic energy is found., Comment: 24 pages, 12 figures

Abstract: In this work we estimate the performance of a method for the detection of burst events in the data produced by interferometric gravitational wave detectors. We compute the receiver operating characteristics in the specific case of a simulated noise having the spectral density expected for Virgo, using test signals taken from a library of possible waveforms emitted during the collapse of the core of Type II Supernovae., 8 pages, 6 figures, Talk given at the GWDAW2002 workshop

50. Sistema Petrolero Terciario Pagüey- Pagüey Inferior (!) En La Sub-Cuenca De Guarumen, Venezuela

Author: P. Kraemer, J. F. Rodriguez, G. Conforto, J. Silvestro, and H. Belotti
Abstract: La actividad exploratoria realizada por Pecom Energia S.A. (hoy Petrobras Energia S.A.) en los ultimos 6 anos en la Subcuenca de Guarumen en la Region Centro - Oeste de Venezuela permitio comprobar la presencia de gas en la Fm Paguey Inferior. La columna estratigrafica consta de un basamento igneo - metamorfico infrayaciendo a clasticos marinos de margen pasivo depositados en el Paleoceno - Eoceno Inferior. La sedimentacion continuo en el Eoceno Medio y fue controlada por un regimen extensional de tipo antepais fracturado. Durante el Eoceno Superior - Oligoceno Inferior se depositaron secuencias clasticas procedentes del frente montanoso situado al norte bajo un regimen de antepais flexural. Posterior a los depositos neriticos del Oligoceno Superior - Mioceno Inferior la region fue sometida a esfuerzos compresivos ligeramente oblicuos a las fallas extensionales preexistentes, reactivandolas y formando estructuras compresivas generando una faja de interes prospectivo paralela al frente de la Cadena Caribe. Esta faja fue evaluada con dos pozos los cuales probaron la presencia de gas termogenico seco en areniscas cuarciticas fracturadas de la Fm. Paguey Inferior. Se considera roca madre a las lutitas marinas de la Fm. Paguey del Eoceno Medio (Querogeno Tipo II y II/III). La generacion y migracion hacia las estructuras anticlinales se asocia con el emplazamiento de la carga tectonica durante el Mioceno Medio. Se propone la existencia en la Subcuenca de Guarumen de un sistema petrolero Terciario Paguey - Paguey Inferior (!) cuyo potencial es principalmente gasifero.
