Status and first results of the ANTARES neutrino telescope

The ANTARES detector is the most sensitive neutrino telescope observing the southern sky and the world’s first particle detector operating in the deep sea. It is installed in the Mediterranean Sea at a depth of 2475 m. As example for the first results, the determination of the atmospheric muon flux is discussed; a fair agreement with previous measurements is found. Furthermore, the results of a search for high-energy events in excess of the atmospheric neutrino flux are reported and significant limits are set on the diffuse cosmic neutrino flux in the multi-TeV to PeV energy range. Using data taken during the construction phase, a first analysis searching for point-like excesses in the neutrino sky distribution has been performed. The resulting sensitivity of ANTARES is reported and compared to measurements of other detectors.     

Physics and present status of the WITCH experiment

The WITCH experiment (Weak Interaction Trap for CHarged particles) is starting measurements at the ISOLDE facility at CERN at present. It has been set up to measure the energy spectrum of the recoiling daughter ions after nuclear beta decay for precision tests of the Standard Model of weak interactions. However, many other topics of interest are accessible. In this article, the possibilities of recoil spectroscopy with the WITCH experiment are discussed, as well as the principle of the setup and its present situation.     

Coincidence analysis in ANTARES: Potassium-40 and muons

The ANTARES neutrino detector, located deep underwater in Mediterranean sea, is currently almost complete and taking physics data. The amount of data collected so far allows for several kinds of neutrino studies. Yet, presently the principal task of the collaboration is to achieve thorough and precise understanding of the detector. Therefore, detector calibration and atmospheric muon studies are currently given high priorities. A new calibration technique, based on the use of natural background light in seawater, was recently invented. The method relies on correlated coincidences produced in triplets of ANTARES optical modules by Cherenkov light of beta-particles originated from ⁴⁰K decays. Based on similar ideas of coincidence analysis, a simple but powerful approach to atmospheric muon flux studies is currently being developed. The two methods and their role in the ANTARES experiment are briefly presented.     

Leibniz's Principle, Physics, and the Language of Physics

This paper is concerned with the problem of the validity of Leibniz's principle of the identity of indiscernibles in physics. After briefly surveying how the question is currently discussed in recent literature and which is the actual meaning of the principle for what concerns physics, we address the question of the physical validity of Leibniz's principle in terms of the existence of a sufficient number of naming predicates in the formal language of physics. This approach allows us to obtain in a formal way the result that a principle of the identity of indiscernibles can be justified in the domain of classical physics, while this is not the case in the domain of quantum physics.     

Recent progress in multi-wavelength fiber lasers:principles,status,and challenges

In recent years,multi-wavelength fiber lasers play a significant role in plenty of fields,ranging from optical communications to mechanical processing and laser biomedicine,owing to their high beam quality,low cost,and excellent heat dissipation properties.Benefitting from increasing maturity of optical elements,the multi-wavelength fiber laser has made rapid developments.In this review,we summarize and analyze diverse implementation methods covering continuous wave and pulsed fiber lasers at room temperature conditions:inserting an optical filter device and intensity-dependent loss structure in the resonant cavity,and applying ultrafast nonlinear optical response of materials and a dual-cavity structure.Finally,future challenges and perspectives of the multi-wavelength fiber laser are discussed and addressed.

Physics potential and experimental challenges of the LHC luminosity upgrade

We discuss the physics potential and the experimental challenges of an upgraded LHC running at an instantaneous luminosity of 10³⁵ cm^-2s^-1. The detector R&D needed to operate ATLAS and CMS in a very high radiation environment and the expected detector performance are discussed. A few examples of the increased physics potential are given, ranging from precise measurements within the Standard Model (in particular in the Higgs sector) to the discovery reach for several New Physics processes.

Pierre Duhem, the History and Philosophy of Physics, and the Teaching of Physics

The distinguished physicist and historian and philosopher of science Pierre Duhem (1861 - 1916) not only taught physics, but also worked out in his Aim and Structure of Physical Theory a philosophical analysis of physics. Duhem's analysis offers important suggestions about how physics progresses and also how physics should be taught. This essay suggests what advice Duhem would give persons involved in physics teaching about how physics should be presented. In particular, it discusses Duhem's insightful critique of what he called the Newtonian method.

Physics,and transistors in computers

The spectacular success of the transistor in making a steady stream of increasingly powerful and affordable digital computers available through the 50 years since its invention is well known. Yet in spite of this remarkable record the same fifty years has witnessed a continuing series of proposals for replacing the transistor in computing systems with some other device. The tunnel diode and Josephson devices are notable examples. Some of these proposals have attracted many millions of pounds of industry and government support. Yet none has had any effect on computing technology. The problem of the many alternatives is that they do not use quantitative standard signals to represent digits; in other words, they are not truly digital.
