Analysis of the Mueller-Regge model☆
Abstract Asymptotic results of the Mueller-Regge model (MRM) are obtained in the fixed n limit and in the fixed n / Y limit. A two-component MRM is analyzed and its predictions, in particular for semi-inclusive correlations, are compared with the asymptotic expressions. The deficiencies of the various approximations are discussed.

An orientation selective neural network and its application to cosmic muon identification
Abstract We propose a novel method for identification of a linear pattern of pixels on a two-dimensional grid. Following principles employed by the visual cortex, we employ orientation selective neurons in a neural network which performs this task. The method is then applied to a sample of data collected with the ZEUS detector at HERA in order to identify cosmic muons which leave a linear pattern of signals in the segmented uranium-scintillator calorimeter. A two dimensional representation of the relevant part of the detector is used. The results compared with a visual scan point to a very satisfactory cosmic muon identification. The algorithm performs well in the presence of noise and pixels with limited efficiency. Given its architecture, this system becomes a good candidate for fast pattern recognition in parallel processing devices.

Dynamic quantum clustering: a method for visual exploration of structures in data
A given set of data points in some feature space may be associated with a Schrödinger equation whose potential is determined by the data. This is known to lead to good clustering solutions. Here we extend this approach into a full-fledged dynamical scheme using a time-dependent Schrödinger equation. Moreover, we approximate this Hamiltonian formalism by a truncated calculation within a set of Gaussian wave functions (coherent states) centered around the original points. This allows for analytic evaluation of the time evolution of all such states opening up the possibility of exploration of relationships among data points through observation of varying dynamical distances among points and convergence of points into clusters. This formalism may be further supplemented by preprocessing such as dimensional reduction through singular-value decomposition or feature filtering.

Study of $B^{0}_{s} \rightarrow D_s^{(*)+}D_s^{(*)-}$ and $B^{0}_{s} \rightarrow \phi\phi$ Decays at CDF
Under certain theoretical assumptions, the branching fraction of B{sub s}{sup 0} {yields} D{sub s}{sup (*)+}D{sub s}{sup (*)-} is directly sensitive to the relative decay width difference {Delta}{Lambda}{sub s}{sup CP}/{Lambda}{sub s} in the B{sub s}{sup 0} system, which is predicted to be sizable in the standard model. Using approximately 4 fb{sup -1} of data collected by the CDF II detector at the Tevatron p{bar p} collider, the CDF collaboration is currently performing an exclusive selection of B{sub s}{sup 0} {yields} D{sub s}{sup (*)+}D{sub s}{sup (*)-} signal candidates in several hadronic modes in order to provide a new branching fraction measurement. In contrast to former analyses, we start to have sensitivity in disentangling D{sub s}{sup (*)+}D{sub s}{sup (*)-}, enabling us to measure the branching fractions of B{sub s}{sup 0} {yields} D{sub s}{sup +}D{sub s}{sup -}, B{sub s}{sup 0} {yields} D{sub s}{sup (*)+}D{sub s}{sup -} and B{sub s}{sup 0} {yields} D{sub s}{sup (*)+}D{sub s}{sup (*)-} separately. Yet another interesting mode is the decay of the B{sub s}{sup 0} into a {phi} pair. This is a vector-vector decay dominated by the b {yields} s{ovr ss} penguin transition, which is a sensitive probe for possible new physics effects. Here we present a new measurement ofmore » the branching fraction based on a clean sample of about 300 B{sub s}{sup 0} {yields} {phi}{phi} signal events in a dataset with an integrated luminosity of 2.9 fb{sup -1}.« less
