WHAT IS NEW IN ASTROPARTICLE PHYSICS
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2013)
In this brief review paper I will point to the most important steps that have been made in recent decades toward a better understanding of the physics governing our Universe. Because of the limited length of this paper, I ...
ROBUST CONTROL OF END-TIDAL CO₂ USING THE H∞ LOOP-SHAPING APPROACH
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2013)
Mechanically ventilated patients require appropriate settings of respiratory control variables to maintain acceptable gas exchange. To control the carbon dioxide (CO₂ ) level effectively and automatically, system identification ...
STUDY OF THE TIME DEPENDENCE OF RADIOACTIVITY
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2013)
The activity of a 137Cs source was measured using a germanium detector installed deep underground in the Gran Sasso Laboratory. In total about 5100 energy spectra, one hour measuring time each, were collected and used to ...
Emittance Characterization of Ion Beams Provided by Laser Plasma
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2013)
Laser ion sources offer the possibility to obtain ion beams useful for particle accelerators. Nanosecond pulsed lasers at intensities of the order of 108 W/cm2, interacting with solid matter in a vacuum, produce plasma of ...
THE FIRST CENTURY OF COSMIC RAYS, AN HISTORICAL OVERVIEW
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2013)
The 1912 balloon flights of Victor Hess and related activities in those years are reviewed. Subsequent research during the early 20th Century is noted, including the discovery of the positron, mesons, and air showers. The ...
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE LHC
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2013)
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the two multi-purpose detectors, ATLAS and CMS, have been operated successfully at record centre-of-mass energies of 7 ÷ 8TeV. This paper presents the main physics results from proton–proton ...
THE DISCOVERY OF THE CHANDRASEKHAR MASS AND THE CHANDRASEKHAR-EDDINGTON CONTROVERSY
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2013)
The so called Chandrasekhar limiting mass is a a quantum mechanical relativistic effect. The discovery and establishment of the concept involved a major controversy between the young Chandrasekhar and the hilarious Eddington. ...
Continued Fractions of Square Roots of Natural Numbers
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2013)
In this paper, we will first summarize known results concerning continued fractions. Then we will limit our consideration to continued fractions of quadratic numbers. The second author describes periods and sometimes the ...
OPERA HIGHLIGHTS
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2013)
The OPERA experiment is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment aimed at observing the νμ → ντ neutrino oscillation in the CERN neutrino to Gran Sasso beamline in the appearance mode by detecting the τ-decay. Here ...
OUR GALACTIC CENTER – THE NEAREST BURNING DISK
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2013)
This short presentation will update my more than 25 years long attempts at understandingthe actions of the Central Engine at our Galactic Center.
