In the rush to explore the B system, one should not ignore the potential of rare K decays. The charged and neutral FCNC K {yields} {pi}{nu}{bar {mu}} decays are theoretically very clean, on a par with B {yields} {psi}K{sub S}, which measures {beta}, and much less problematic than B {yields}...

The proposed Antihydrogen Gravity experiment at Fermilab (P981) will directly measure the gravitational attraction g between antihydrogen and the Earth, with an accuracy of 1% or better. The following key question has been asked by the PAC: Is a possible 1% difference between g and g already...

This report provides an analysis of the economic impacts arising from the construction and operation of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) and Joint Institute of Neutron Science (JINS) facilities on the State of Tennessee. The study was conducted by the Center for Business and Economic Research...

We provide a detailed study of the phenomenology of orbifold compactifications of the heterotic string within the context of supergravity effective theories. Our investigation focuses on those models where the soft Lagrangian is dominated by loop contributions to the various soft supersymmetry...

The implementation of persistency in the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Software Framework uses the core I/O functionality of ROOT. We will discuss the current ROOT/IO implementation, its evolution from the prior Objectivity/DB{trademark} implementation, and the plans and ongoing work for the...

Experiments in high energy physics have continuously increased in size, complexity and cost. The problem of proposing, approving, and scheduling experiments has increased even more dramatically. The questions for good experiments used to be''when and how''. It is about to become ''whether''....
