Das Ziel des Experiments NA48 am CERN ist die Messung des Parameters Re(epsilon'/epsilon) der direktenCP-Verletzung mit einer Genauigkeit von 2x10^-4. Experimentell zugänglich ist das DoppelverhältnisR, das aus den Zerfällen des KL und KS in zwei neutrale bzw. zwei geladene Pionengebildet wird. Für R gilt in guter Näherung: R=1-6Re(epsilon'/epsilon).
NA48 verwendet eine Wichtung der KL-Ereignisse zur Reduzierung der Sensitivität auf dieDetektorakzeptanz. Zur Kontrolle der bisherigen Standardanalyse wurde eine Analyse ohne Ereigniswichtung durchgeführt. Das Ergebnis derungewichteten Analyse wird in dieser Arbeit vorgestellt. Durch Verzicht auf die Ereigniswichtung kann derstatistische Anteil des Gesamtfehlers deutlich verringert werden. Da der limitierende Kanal der Zerfall deslanglebigen Kaons in zwei neutrale Pionen ist, ist die Verwendung der gesamten Anzahl derKL-Zerfälle ein lohnendes Ziel.Im Laufe dieser Arbeit stellte sich heraus, dass dersystematische Fehler der Akzeptanzkorrektur diesen Gewinn wieder aufhebt.

Das Ergebnis der Arbeit für die Daten aus den Jahren 1998und 1999 ohne Ereigniswichtung lautet
Re(epsilon'/epsilon)=(17,91+-4,41(syst.)+-1,36(stat.))x10^-4.
Damit ist eindeutig die Existenz der direkten CP-Verletzungbestätigt. Dieses Ergebnis ist mit dem veröffentlichten Ergebnis vonNA48 verträglichSomit ist der Test der bisherigen Analysestrategie bei NA48erfolgreich durchgeführt worden.

Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Entwicklung eines Funktionsapproximators und dessen Verwendung in Verfahren zum Lernen von diskreten und kontinuierlichen Aktionen: 1. Ein allgemeiner Funktionsapproximator – Locally Weighted Interpolating Growing Neural Gas (LWIGNG) – wird auf Basis eines Wachsenden Neuralen Gases (GNG) entwickelt. Die topologische Nachbarschaft in der Neuronenstruktur wird verwendet, um zwischen benachbarten Neuronen zu interpolieren und durch lokale Gewichtung die Approximation zu berechnen. Die Leistungsfähigkeit des Ansatzes, insbesondere in Hinsicht auf sich verändernde Zielfunktionen und sich verändernde Eingabeverteilungen, wird in verschiedenen Experimenten unter Beweis gestellt. 2. Zum Lernen diskreter Aktionen wird das LWIGNG-Verfahren mit Q-Learning zur Q-LWIGNG-Methode verbunden. Dafür muss der zugrunde liegende GNG-Algorithmus abgeändert werden, da die Eingabedaten beim Aktionenlernen eine bestimmte Reihenfolge haben. Q-LWIGNG erzielt sehr gute Ergebnisse beim Stabbalance- und beim Mountain-Car-Problem und gute Ergebnisse beim Acrobot-Problem. 3. Zum Lernen kontinuierlicher Aktionen wird ein REINFORCE-Algorithmus mit LWIGNG zur ReinforceGNG-Methode verbunden. Dabei wird eine Actor-Critic-Architektur eingesetzt, um aus zeitverzögerten Belohnungen zu lernen. LWIGNG approximiert sowohl die Zustands-Wertefunktion als auch die Politik, die in Form von situationsabhängigen Parametern einer Normalverteilung repräsentiert wird. ReinforceGNG wird erfolgreich zum Lernen von Bewegungen für einen simulierten 2-rädrigen Roboter eingesetzt, der einen rollenden Ball unter bestimmten Bedingungen abfangen soll.

A study of maar-diatreme volcanoes has been perfomed by inversion of gravity and magnetic data. The geophysical inverse problem has been solved by means of the damped nonlinear least-squares method. To ensure stability and convergence of the solution of the inverse problem, a mathematical tool, consisting in data weighting and model scaling, has been worked out. Theoretical gravity and magnetic modeling of maar-diatreme volcanoes has been conducted in order to get information, which is used for a simple rough qualitative and/or quantitative interpretation. The information also serves as a priori information to design models for the inversion and/or to assist the interpretation of inversion results. The results of theoretical modeling have been used to roughly estimate the heights and the dip angles of the walls of eight Eifel maar-diatremes — each taken as a whole. Inversemodeling has been conducted for the Schönfeld Maar (magnetics) and the Hausten-Morswiesen Maar (gravity and magnetics). The geometrical parameters of these maars, as well as the density and magnetic properties of the rocks filling them, have been estimated. For a reliable interpretation of the inversion results, beside the knowledge from theoretical modeling, it was resorted to other tools such like field transformations and spectral analysis for complementary information. Geologic models, based on thesynthesis of the respective interpretation results, are presented for the two maars mentioned above. The results gave more insight into the genesis, physics and posteruptive development of the maar-diatreme volcanoes. A classification of the maar-diatreme volcanoes into three main types has been elaborated. Relatively high magnetic anomalies are indicative of scoria cones embeded within maar-diatremes if they are not caused by a strong remanent component of the magnetization. Smaller (weaker) secondary gravity and magnetic anomalies on the background of the main anomaly of a maar-diatreme — especially in the boundary areas — are indicative for subsidence processes, which probably occurred in the late sedimentation phase of the posteruptive development. Contrary to postulates referring to kimberlite pipes, there exists no generalized systematics between diameter and height nor between geophysical anomaly and the dimensions of the maar-diatreme volcanoes. Although both maar-diatreme volcanoes and kimberlite pipes are products of phreatomagmatism, they probably formed in different thermodynamic and hydrogeological environments. In the case of kimberlite pipes, large amounts of magma and groundwater, certainly supplied by deep and large reservoirs, interacted under high pressure and temperature conditions. This led to a long period phreatomagmatic process and hence to the formation of large structures. Concerning the maar-diatreme and tuff-ring-diatreme volcanoes, the phreatomagmatic process takes place due to an interaction between magma from small and shallow magma chambers (probably segregated magmas) and small amounts of near-surface groundwater under low pressure and temperature conditions. This leads to shorter time eruptions and consequently to structures of smaller size in comparison with kimberlite pipes. Nevertheless, the results show that the diameter to height ratio for 50% of the studied maar-diatremes is around 1, whereby the dip angle of the diatreme walls is similar to that of the kimberlite pipes and lies between 70 and 85°. Note that these numerical characteristics, especially the dip angle, hold for the maars the diatremes of which — estimated by modeling — have the shape of a truncated cone. This indicates that the diatreme can not be completely resolved by inversion.

The aim of this work is to investigate the evaporation dynamics of water microdrops deposited on atomic force microscope cantilevers, which were employed as sensitive stress, mass and temperature sensors with high time resolution. The technique has some advantages with respect to video-microscope imaging and ultra-precision weighting with electronic microbalances or quartz crystal microbalances, since it allows to measure more drop parameters simultaneously for smaller drop sizes. On hydrophobic surfaces a single measurement with a silicon cantilever provides data for the drop mass, contact angle and radius until very close to complete evaporation. On hydrophilic surfaces, it is as well possible to measure drop mass and inclination of the cantilever. The technique further allows to detect differences between water microdrops evaporating from clean hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces. On hydrophilic surfaces the cantilever inclination is negative at the end of the evaporation process. Negative inclination mostly occurs when drops are pinned. This effect can not be detected with any of the other well-established methods. The evidence arises that on the hydrophilic surface a thin water film forms, while this is not the case for the hydrophobic surface. Metal coated cantilevers can be used as thermometers, and allow to precisely measure the temperature of an evaporating microdrop. This can be relevant for further applications of cantilevers as calorimetric sensors for chemical reactions taking place in drops on their surface. The applicability of Young’s equation was verified for microdrops. It was shown that Young’s equation can not be applied to microscopic drops due to their fast evaporation. A study on evaporation of microdrops in saturated vapor atmosphere was performed to estimate evaporation times and compare them with a theory developed, which relates the initial drop volume with the overall evaporation time.
