Studies of multi-parton interactions in photon+jets events at D0

We consider sample of inclusive photon+3jet events collected by the D0 experiment. The double parton fraction and effective cross section sigma_eff, a process-independent scale parameter related to the parton density inside the nucleon, are measured in three intervals of the second (ordered in pT) jet transverse momentum pT_jet2. Also we measured cross sections as a function of the angle in the plane transverse to the beam direction between the transverse momentum (of the photon+leading jet system and pT of the other jet for photon+2jet, or pT sum of the two other jets for photon+3jet events. The results are compared to different models of multiple parton interactions (MPI) in the PYTHIA and SHERPA Monte Carlo generators.Comment: 4 pages, 9 figure

University strategic planning in Cameroon: what lessons for sub-Saharan Africa?

This article argues that the global, regional, and local realities can complement rather than contradict each other in the process of strategic planning for universities in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Using the case of the University of Buea in Cameroon, it attempts to use the global trends of polarisation in knowledge production capacity as an input or tool for identifying strategic choice in the process of strategic planning in institutions. The national policy background is used to highlight the context and inherent role of the central government in the process of institutional strategic planning

Searches for Charginos and Neutralinos with the D0 Detector

Within the framework of supersymmetry, charginos and/or neutralinos are often the preferred topics of searches for experimental evidence. This is due to the facts that in much of parameter space they are the lightest supersymmetric partners and they offer unique final states to separate from standard model backgrounds. The D0 experiment has performed several recent searches including the traditional trilepton final state and a decay chain involving dark photons.Comment: To be published in the proceedings of DPF-2009, Detroit, MI, July 2009, eConf C09072

La guerra de la classe creativa

Gràcies a l’èxit de les seves publicacions i als seus treballs de recerca, els conceptes de “classe creativa” i “qualitat del lloc” elaborats principalment per Richard Florida s’han convertit en temes de discussió rellevants en els debats sobre economia urbana i geografia urbana. Pensat en un principi per tal d’avaluar el grau de competitivitat de les ciutats nordamericanes, el concepte de qualitat del lloc també ha estat aplicat a diverses ciutats europees, si bé també cal tenir en compte l’anàlisi de la qualitat del lloc a nivell nacional només constitueix un dels indicadors del potencial competitiu de les ciutats
