LSST Science Book, Version 2.0
LSST Science Collaboration, Paul A. Abell, Julius Allison +245
A survey that can cover the sky in optical bands over wide fields to faint magnitudes with a fast cadence will enable many of the exciting science opportunities of the next decade.…
LSST: from Science Drivers to Reference Design and Anticipated Data Products
Željko Ivezić, Steven M. Kahn, J. Anthony Tyson +310
(Abridged) We describe here the most ambitious survey currently planned in the optical, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). A vast array of science will be enabled by a sin…
Photon sandwich detectors with WLS fiber readout
O. Mineev, E. Garber, J. Frank +8
A photon detector for BNL experiment E949 is described. The detector consists of lead/scintillator ``sandwich'' of 25 layers of 5 mm thick scintillator BC404 and 24 layers of 2 mm…
Search for the rare decay K+ -> pi+ gamma
E787 Collaboration
We have performed a search for the angular-momentum forbidden decay K+ -> pi+ gamma with the E787 detector at BNL. No events were observed in the pi+ kinematic region around 227 Me…
