La scala delle distanze in astrofisica

In questo elaborato vengono descritti i principali metodi per il calcolo delle distanze in astrofisica. Viene trattato il fenomeno della parallasse, il funzionamento e alcuni tipi di stelle variabili oltre alle supernove di tipo thermonuclear. Infine sono brevemente discussi alcuni indicatori secondari: le relazioni di Faber-Jackson, Tully-Fisher e la legge di Hubble.

Evoluzione della limitazione di sostanze inquinanti e climalteranti nelle normative di omologazione per autoveicoli

Elaborato che si propone di evidenziare come i veicoli a benzina e a diesel possano soddisfare la normativa Euro 6. Si analizza il funzionamento dei principali sistemi di after-treatment come: catalizzatore SCR e DeNOx, trappola LNT, filtri FAP e DPF, sistemi EGR, per i motori ad accensione per compressione e catalizzatore TWC per motori ad accensione comandata. Parallelamente, si spiega l'evoluzione della normativa da Euro 6b a Euro 6c in termini di riduzione del numero di particelle di particolato emesse per km e come rispondere a queste più restrittive condizioni; viene introdotto, in via ancora sperimentale, il filtro antiparticolato GPF e un sistema di misurazione di nano particelle di dimensioni inferiori a 23 nm cioè una rivalutazione del metodo PMP. Contestualmente si definisce il progetto CARS 2020, il quale aggiunge una limitazione anche sulla quantità di anidride carbonica emessa a 95 g/km e le eventuali possibili soluzioni per rispettarla: da un maggior uso di combustibili alternativi a miglioramenti tecnologici dei motori stessi. Infine si studiano gli sviluppi dei cicli di omologazione, dal 2017 infatti entreranno in gioco test su strada con dispositivi PEMS on-board e cicli armonizzati WLTC. Le procedure RDE e WLTP permetteranno di testare i vecioli in maniera più reale e globale, rispettivamente, riuscendo a fornire anche valori attendibili dei consumi registrati durante le prove.

Measurement of the W+ W- cross section in sqrt(s) = 7 TeV pp collisions with ATLAS

This Letter presents a measurement of the W+ W- production cross section in sqrt(s) = 7  TeV pp collisions by the ATLAS experiment, using 34  pb(-1) of integrated luminosity produced by the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Selecting events with two isolated leptons, each either an electron or a muon, 8 candidate events are observed with an expected background of 1.7 ± 0.6 events. The measured cross section is 41(-16)(+20)(stat) ± 5(syst)±1(lumi)  pb, which is consistent with the standard model prediction of 44 ± 3  pb calculated at next-to-leading order in QCD.

Search for a heavy particle decaying into an electron and a muon with the ATLAS detector in sqrt[s] = 7 TeV pp collisions at the LHC

This Letter presents the first search for a heavy particle decaying into an e ± μ(-/+) final state in sqrt[s] = 7 TeV pp collisions at the LHC. The data were recorded by the ATLAS detector during 2010 and correspond to a total integrated luminosity of 35 pb(-1). No excess above the standard model background expectation is observed. Exclusions at 95% confidence level are placed on two representative models. In an R-parity violating supersymmetric model, tau sneutrinos with a mass below 0.75 TeV are excluded, assuming all R-parity violating couplings are zero except λ(311)' = 0.11 and λ312 = 0.07. In a lepton flavor violating model, a Z'-like vector boson with masses of 0.70-1.00 TeV and corresponding cross sections times branching ratios of 0.175-0.183 pb is excluded. These results extend to higher mass R-parity violating sneutrinos and lepton flavor violating Z's than previous constraints from the Tevatron.

Measurement of dijet azimuthal decorrelations in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV

Azimuthal decorrelations between the two central jets with the largest transverse momenta are sensitive to the dynamics of events with multiple jets. We present a measurement of the normalized differential cross section based on the full data set (∫Ldt=36  pb(-1)) acquired by the ATLAS detector during the 2010 sqrt(s)=7  TeV proton-proton run of the LHC. The measured distributions include jets with transverse momenta up to 1.3 TeV, probing perturbative QCD in a high-energy regime.

Search for supersymmetry using final states with one lepton, jets, and missing transverse momentum with the ATLAS detector in √s=7 TeV pp collisions

This Letter presents the first search for supersymmetry in final states containing one isolated electron or muon, jets, and missing transverse momentum from √s=7  TeV proton-proton collisions at the LHC. The data were recorded by the ATLAS experiment during 2010 and correspond to a total integrated luminosity of 35  pb(-1). No excess above the standard model background expectation is observed. Limits are set on the parameters of the minimal supergravity framework, extending previous limits. Within this framework, for A(0)=0 GeV, tanβ=3, and μ>0 and for equal squark and gluino masses, gluino masses below 700 GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level.

Search for diphoton events with large missing transverse energy in 7 TeV proton-proton collisions with the ATLAS detector

A search for diphoton events with large missing transverse energy is presented. The data were collected with the ATLAS detector in proton-proton collisions at √s=7 TeV at the CERN Large Hadron Collider and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 3.1 pb⁻¹. No excess of such events is observed above the standard model background prediction. In the context of a specific model with one universal extra dimension with compactification radius R and gravity-induced decays, values of 1/R<729 GeV are excluded at 95% C. L., providing the most sensitive limit on this model to date.

Search for a standard model Higgs boson in the H→ZZ→ℓ(+)ℓ(-)νν decay channel with the ATLAS detector

A search for a heavy standard model Higgs boson decaying via H→ZZ→→ℓ(+)ℓ(-)νν, where ℓ=e, μ, is presented. It is based on proton-proton collision data at √s=7 TeV, collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC in the first half of 2011 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.04 fb(-1). The data are compared to the expected standard model backgrounds. The data and the background expectations are found to be in agreement and upper limits are placed on the Higgs boson production cross section over the entire mass window considered; in particular, the production of a standard model Higgs boson is excluded in the region 340

Gilles Deleuze y el debate biopolítico contemporáneo

Este trabajo investiga el aporte de Gilles Deleuze al debate contemporáneo en torno al biopoder. En primer lugar, analizamos su interpretación de la concepción foucaulteana de la biopolítica, en particular la matriz vitalista de su lectura, y examinamos su impacto en la distinción entre "biopoder" y "biopolítica" de ciertos autores (Lazzarato, Negri, Revel). Luego, relevamos la presencia de nociones deleuzeanas en otras perspectivas (lo "impersonal" en Esposito, la "sociedad de control" en Negri). Finalmente, proponemos renovar las tensiones fundamentales del debate acerca de la vida, la política, el lenguaje y la condición del hombre, sirviéndonos de conceptos elaborados por Deleuze
