Maxey-Eakin Methods for Estimating Groundwater Recharge in the Fenner Watershed, Southeastern California

Description: Recent review comments by the US Geological Survey, Water Resources Division on the Cadiz Groundwater Storage and Dry-Year Supply program Draft Environmental Planning Report were accompanied by an independent recharge estimate to the Fenner Basin based on a Maxey-Eakin method. The following report has analyzed WRD's recharge estimates and concludes that those results greatly underestimate annual recharge and lack credibility. Among the reasons outlined are (1) WRD's lack of geographic scale and… more

Setting limits and making discoveries in CDF

Description: This paper presents the statistical methods used in setting limits and discovery significances in the search for new particles in the CDF experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron. For single-channel counting experiments the collaboration employs the classical Helene formula, with Bayesian integration over systematic uncertainties in the signal acceptance and background. For more complex cases such as spectral fits and combining channels, likelihood-based methods are used. In the discoveries of the t… more

Beam emittance calculation in the presence of an axially symmetric magnetic field

Description: The Fermilab electron cooling project requires low transverse electron velocities (both coherent and incoherent) in the solenoidal cooling section. One of the possible reasons for an increase of these velocities is aberrations introduced by optical elements in the axially symmetric portion of the beam channel (first of all, in the acceleration tube) preceding the cooling section. Most of these optical elements can be treated as thin lenses so that the aberrations can be characterized by an incr… more
