[en] The initiatives that led to the development, construction and financing of Toronto's wind turbine by the Toronto Renewable Energy Co-op (TREC) were outlined in this PowerPoint presentation. The initiative for this first urban-based turbine in North America stemmed from a lack of green power in Ontario's energy market and a strong push from the public for more green power. TREC researched a variety of potential wind tower sites in Toronto and submitted a pre-feasibility report. The construction of the wind turbine involved a joint venture between WindShare and Toronto Hydro Energy Services. The basic principals behind co-operative financing were reviewed along with the challenges of marketing the project

[en] Results of experiments to determine the point of onset of significant void (OSV) for up-flow boiling of water at low pressure (∼ 150 kPa) and low velocities (< 0.5 m s^-1) show that the sub-cooling at OSV increases as liquid inlet velocity increases. According to the Saha and Zuber OSV correlation there should be no effect of velocity under the experimental conditions since the Peclet number is less than 70 000. At higher Peclet numbers, empirical evidence and existing correlations and models show that the subcooling at OSV decreases as liquid velocity increases. A model, based on the findings of Winterton on bubble departure, has been developed which predicts the observed trend of sub-cooling at OSV with velocity in these experiments as well as the opposite trend observed by others at higher velocities.

[en] A large aperture (8' x 10') calorimeter for studying high-Psub(t) hadronic interactions has been assembled at Fermilab. The depth is 16 radiation lengths of Pb followed by 7.5 absorption lengths of Fe. There are 280 readout channels. Approximately 20% of the detector was tested in preliminary running. The results, presented here, meet or exceed the design goals established for linearity, resolution, uniformity, granularity, electromagnetic/hadronic separation, and ease of calibration and monitoring.

[en] Results are presented from the study of multikaon final states in the reactions π^-p→K⁰K^+-πminus-or-plusX, K⁰K⁺KX at 50 and 100 GeV/c. Here X is semi-inclusive, because a specific forward topology and an interaction registering in the counters sourrounding the target are required. The D(1285) meson is seen in the dr mode, while the E(1420) meson is observed in both the dr and the KK modes. In addition, there are two possible enhancements in the three kaon final state. The first (Mapprox.1840 MeV) is associated with the K⁰f mode and is consistent with being the charmed D⁰. The second, a K state (M = 2003 +- 14 MeV, G = 87 +- 43 MeV), decays into KA₂

[en] We present results from the study of multikaon final states in the reactions π^-p→K⁰K^+-π^-+X, K⁰K⁺K^-X at 50 and 100 GeV/c. Here X is semi-inclusive, that is, a specific forward topology and an interaction registering in the counters surrounding the target are required. The D(1285) meson is seen in the deltaπ mode, while the E(1420) meson is observed in both the deltaπ and the K*K modes. In addition, there are two possible enhancements in the three-kaon final state. The first (Mapprox.1840 MeV) is associated with the K⁰phi mode and is consistent with being the charmed D⁰. The second, a K* state (M=2003 +- 14 MeV, GAMMA=87 +- 43 MeV), decays into KA₂

[en] A beam vertex detector system based on 200 μm square scintillating fibers has been built and utilized in an experiment with 6,8, and 10.8 GeV/u ¹⁹⁷Au beams with intensities of up to 3 x 10⁵ particles per 1.6 s spill at the AGS at Brookhaven national laboratory. The position of each beam particle traversing the target which subsequently caused a trigger was determined with a precision of σ≅150 μm, independent of beam intensity. The detection efficiency exceeded 99% per detector layer. Information on radiation damage with relativistic heavy ions was obtained. (orig.)

[en] In this paper the data acquisition system for FNAL E665, an experiment to study deep inelastic muon scattering from nucleons and nuclei, is described. The system is built with the FNAL VAXONLINE and RSX DA building blocks. The structure, capabilities and limitations for data flow, control and monitoring are discussed

[en] Data are presented on production by 200-GeV/c hadrons incident on beryllium of both single particles and jets (group of particles) with high p/sub T/ (transverse momentum). The experiment was performed in a wide-aperture multiparticle spectrometer at Fermilab. The jet and single-particle cross sections have a similar shape from p/sub T/ = 3 to 5 Ge/c but the jet cross section is over two orders of magnitude larger. The distributions of charged-particle momenta show striking similarities to those observed in lepton-induced processes

[en] A measurement of charged-particle production is reported for the forward region in events triggered by high--transverse-momentum (p/sub perpendicular/) jets and single particles. The momentum distributions of forward-going particles are observed to scale in a simple p/sub perpendicular/-dependent longitudinal variable. Forward-going (beam) jets are observed to be tilted away from the original direction by an amount which agrees with muon-pair data when interpreted in a parton (quantum-chromodynamics) model

[en] This paper presents results from an experiment on the production of jets (groups of particles) with high patsub perpendicularat produced in 200-GeV/c interactions. Results are presented on the comparison of jet cross sections on aluminum and hydrogen targets. The jet fragmentation distributions are also examined. Both the cross section and the jet structure are found to depend strongly on the beam and target types
