The Charge Distribution on the Cathode of a Straw Tube Chamber
Changguo Lu, Kirk T. McDonald
We use Green's reciprocation theorem and the method of weighting fields to deduce the charge distribution on the cathode of a straw tube proportional chamber. The time dependence o…
Measurement of the time dependence of B^0-anti-B^0 oscillations using inclusive dilepton events
The BABAR Collaboration, B. Aubert
A preliminary study of time dependence of B^0-anti-B^0 oscillations using dilepton events is presented. The flavor of the B meson is determined by the charge sign of the lepton. To…
The Rolling Motion of a Disk on a Horizontal Plane
Alexander J. McDonald, Kirk T. McDonald
Recent interest in the old problem of the motion of a coin spinning on a tabletop has focused on mechanisms of dissipation of energy as the angle alpha of the coin to the table dec…
Radial Viscous Flow between Two Parallel Annular Plates
Kirk T. McDonald
An analytic solution to the linearized Navier-Stokes equation is given that describes the radial flow of an incompressible, viscous fluid between two parallel, concentric annular p…
Bessel Beams
Kirk T. McDonald
Scalar Bessel beams are derived both via the wave equation and via diffraction theory. While such beams have a group velocity that exceeds the speed of light, this is a manifestati…
Noncontact measurement of the tension of a wire
M. R. Convery, K. T. McDonald
We present a scheme for noncontact measurement of the tension of a wire, such as that in a drift chamber or straw tube detector.
