 2017-04-2811:24 [PUBDB-2017-02075] Report/Journal Article et al Measurement of the $e^{+} e^{-} \to Z \gamma \gamma$ cross-section and determination of quartic gauge boson couplings at LEP [CERN-EP-2000-006; hep-ex/0002037] Physics letters / B 478(1-3), 39 - 49 (2000) [10.1016/S0370-2693(00)00279-3]   A first measurement of the cross section of the process e + e − →Z γγ is reported using a total integrated luminosity of 231 pb −1 collected with the L3 detector at centre-of-mass energies of 182.7 GeV and 188.7 GeV . By selecting hadronic events with two isolated photons the e + e − →Z γγ cross section is measured to be 0.49 +0.20 −0.17 ±0.04 pb at 182.7 GeV and 0.47±0.10±0.04 pb at 188.7 GeV [...] Restricted: PDF; 2017-04-2811:22 [PUBDB-2017-02074] Report/Journal Article et al Measurement of the running of the fine structure constant [CERN-EP-2000-005; hep-ex/0002035] Physics letters / B 476(1-2), 40 - 48 (2000) [10.1016/S0370-2693(00)00122-2]   Small-angle Bhabha scattering data recorded at the Z resonance and large-angle Bhabha scattering data recorded at s =189 GeV by the L3 detector at LEP are used to measure the running of the effective fine-structure constant for spacelike momentum transfers. The results are α −1 (−2.1 GeV 2 )−α −1 (−6.25 GeV 2 )=0.78±0.26 α −1 (−12.25 GeV 2 )−α −1 (−3434 GeV 2 )=3.80±1.29, in agreement with theoretical predictions..

An upper limit on the diffuse flux of ν e + ν μ + ν μ ̄ of E 2 Φ ν (E)<1.4×10 −5 cm −2 s −1 sr −1 GeV within neutrino energy range 10 4 –10 7 GeV is obtained, assuming an E −2 behavior of the neutrino spectrum..

In the Antarctic summer 1995/96, an array of 80 optical modules (OMs) arranged on 4 strings (AMANDA-B4) was deployed at depths between 1.5 and 2 km.

Improved $\gamma$/hadron separation for the detection of faint $\gamma$-ray sources using boosted decision trees   Imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes record an enormous number of cosmic-ray background events. Suppressing these background events while retaining $\gamma$-rays is key to achieving good sensitivity to faint $\gamma$-ray sources.

(2016) [10.3204/PUBDB-2017-00337]   In astronomy, many of the observed sources show a transient behavior. Examples aregamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and active galactic nuclei (AGN).

They are thought to be sites of cosmic-ray acceleration, and are predicted to emit $\gamma$-rays in the GeV to TeV range.

Most current results are obtained either from di-rect measurements by balloon- or satellite-borne detectors, or from indirect measurements byair shower detector arrays on the Earth’s surface.
