A search for gravitational lensing in 38 X-ray selected clusters of galaxies

G. A. Luppino, I. M. Gioia, F. Hammer +2

We present the results of a CCD imaging survey for gravitational lensing in a sample of 38 X-ray-selected clusters of galaxies. Our sample consists of the most X-ray luminous (Lx>=…

The Cluster SZ -- Mass Correlation

Christopher A. Metzler

N-body + hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy clusters are used to demonstrate a correlation between galaxy cluster mass and the strength of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect induce…

The Lyman-alpha Forest: a Cosmic Gold Mine

Lam Hui

In recent years, a remarkably simple physical picture of the Lyman-alpha forest has emerged, which allows detailed predictions to be made and turns the forest into a powerful probe…

Spectroscopy of Quasar Candidates from SDSS Commissioning Data

Xiaohui Fan, Michael A. Strauss, James Annis +9

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has obtained images in five broad-band colors for several hundred square degrees. We present color-color diagrams for stellar objects, and demonstrate…

Steps toward the power spectrum of matter. I.The mean spectrum of galaxies

J. Einasto, M. Einasto, E. Tago +8

We calculate the mean power spectrum of galaxies using published power spectra of galaxies and clusters of galaxies. On small scales we use the power spectrum derived from the 2-di…

Measurement of the form-factor ratios for D_s^+ -> phi ell^+ nu_ell

Fermilab E791 Collaboration, E. M. Aitala, S. Amato

We have measured the form factor ratios r_V = V(0)/A_1(0) and r_2 = A_2(0)/A_1(0) for the decay D_s^+ -> phi ell^+ nu_ell, phi -> K^+ K^-, using data from charm hadroproduction exp…

An Integrated Circuit for Signal Processing of the AMS RICH Photmultipliers Tubes

A. Barrau, L. Gallin-Martel, J. Pouxe +1

An analog integrated circuit has been designed, in a BiCMOS 0.8 micron technology, for the feasability study of the signal processing of the AMS RICH photomultiplier tubes. This lo…

Perspectives on Heavy Quark 98

Chris Quigg

I summarize and comment upon some highlights of HQ98, the Workshop on Heavy Quarks (strange, charm, and beauty) at Fixed Target.

Lattice QCD Calculations of Leptonic and Semileptonic Decays

Andreas S. Kronfeld

In lattice QCD, obtaining properties of heavy-light mesons has been easier said than done. Focusing on the meson's decay constant, it is argued that towards the end of 1997 the…

Measurements of Omega and Lambda from 42 High-Redshift Supernovae

S. Perlmutter, G. Aldering, G. Goldhaber +29

We report measurements of the mass density, Omega_M, and cosmological-constant energy density, Omega_Lambda, of the universe based on the analysis of 42 Type Ia supernovae discover…

Measurement of the High-Mass Drell-Yan Cross Section and Limits on Quark-Electron Compositeness Scales

B. Abbott

We present a measurement of the Drell-Yan cross section at high dielectron invariant mass using 120/pb of data collected in pbar-p collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV by the D0 collabo…

Electroweak symmetry breaking as a consequence of compact dimensions

Bogdan A. Dobrescu

It has been shown recently that the Higgs doublet may be composite, with the left-handed top-bottom doublet and a new right-handed anti-quark as constituents bound by some four-qua…

Superheavy Dark Matter from Thermal Inflation

Lam Hui, Ewan D. Stewart

It is quite plausible that the mass of the dark matter particle increases significantly after its freeze-out, due to a scalar field rolling to large values. We describe a realizati…

Global Three-Neutrino Vacuum Oscillation fits to the Solar and Atmospheric Anomalies

V. Barger, K. Whisnant

We determine the three-neutrino mixing and mass parameters that are allowed by the solar and atmospheric neutrino data when vacuum oscillations are responsible for both phenomena.…

A New Limit on the Antiproton Lifetime

Stephen H. Geer, Dallas C. Kennedy

Measurements of the cosmic ray pbar/p ratio are compared to predictions from an inhomogeneous disk-diffusion model of pbar production and propagation within the Galaxy, combined wi…

Patterns from preheating

A. Sornborger, M. Parry

The formation of regular patterns is a well-known phenomenon in condensed matter physics. Systems that exhibit pattern formation are typically driven and dissipative with pattern f…

Cosmological constraints from lensing statistics and supernovae on the cosmic equation of state

Ioav Waga, Ana Paula M. R. Miceli

We investigate observational constraints from lensing statistics and high-z type Ia supernovae on flat cosmological models with nonrelativistic matter and an exotic fluid with equa…

Weak Gravitational Lensing by Voids

Luca Amendola, Joshua A. Frieman, Ioav Waga

We consider the prospects for detecting weak gravitational lensing by underdensities (voids) in the large-scale matter distribution. We derive the basic expressions for magnificati…

Dark Matter and Dark Energy in the Universe

Michael S. Turner

For the first time, we have a plausible, complete accounting of matter and energy in the Universe. Expressed a fraction of the critical density it goes like this: neutrinos, betwee…

Cosmology Solved?

Michael S. Turner

For two decades the hot big-bang model as been referred to as the standard cosmology -- and for good reason. For just as long cosmologists have known that there are fundamental que…

Models for High-Redshift Lyman Alpha Emitters

Zoltan Haiman, Marco Spaans

We present models for dusty high-redshift Lyman alpha emitting galaxies by combining the Press-Schechter formalism with a treatment of inhomogeneous dust distribution inside galaxi…

Empirical Constraints on the First Stars and Quasars

Zoltan Haiman, Avi Loeb

Empirical studies of the first generation of stars and quasars in the Universe will likely become feasible over the next decade. The Next Generation Space Telescope will provide di…

Cosmology Solved? Quite Possibly!

Michael S. Turner

The discovery of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) in 1964 by Penzias and Wilson led to the establishment of the hot big-bang cosmological model some ten years later. Discoveri…
