Abstract

We describe a proposal to search for an intrinsic electric dipole moment (EDM) of the proton with a sensitivity of \targetsens, based on the vertical rotation of the polarization of a stored proton beam. The New Physics reach is of order $10^~3$TeV mass scale. Observation of the proton EDM provides the best probe of CP-violation in the Higgs sector, at a level of sensitivity that may be inaccessible to electron-EDM experiments. The improvement in the sensitivity to $\theta_{QCD}$, a parameter crucial in axion and axion dark matter physics, is about three orders of magnitude.

Abstract

Static electric dipole moments of nondegenerate systems probe mass scales for physics beyond the Standard Model well beyond those reached directly at high energy colliders. Discrimination between different physics models, however, requires complementary searches in atomic-molecular-and-optical, nuclear and particle physics. In this report, we discuss the current status and prospects in the near future for a compelling suite of such experiments, along with developments needed in the encompassing theoretical framework., Comment: Contribution to Snowmass 2021; updated with community edits and endorsements

15. Measurement of Particle Accelerations in Fully Developed Turbulence

Subjects
Physics - Fluid Dynamics
Abstract

We use silicon strip detectors (originally developed for the CLEO III high energy particle physics experiment) to measure fluid particle trajectories in turbulence with temporal resolution of up to 70,000 frames per second. This high frame rate allows the Kolmogorov time scale of a turbulent water flow to be fully resolved for 140 <= R_lambda <= 970. Particle trajectories exhibiting accelerations up to 16,000 m\s^2 (40 times the rms value) are routinely observed. The probability density function of the acceleration is found to have Reynolds number dependent stretched exponential tails. The moments of the acceleration distribution are calculated. The scaling of the acceleration component variance with the energy dissipation is found to be consistent with the results for low Reynolds number direct numerical simulations, and with the K41 based Heisenberg-Yaglom prediction for R_lambda >= 500. The acceleration flatness is found to increase with Reynolds number, and to exceed 60 at R_lambda = 970. The coupling of the acceleration to the large scale anisotropy is found to be large at low Reynolds number and to decrease as the Reynolds number increases, but to persist at all Reynolds numbers measured. The dependence of the acceleration variance on the size and density of the tracer particles is measured. The autocorrelation function of an acceleration component is measured, and is found to scale with the Kolmogorov time tau_eta., Comment: 35 pages. 34 figures corrected typos and incorrect figure. added figure

17. Fluid Particle Accelerations in Fully Developed Turbulence

Author

Subjects
Physics - Fluid Dynamics
Abstract

The motion of fluid particles as they are pushed along erratic trajectories by fluctuating pressure gradients is fundamental to transport and mixing in turbulence. It is essential in cloud formation and atmospheric transport, processes in stirred chemical reactors and combustion systems, and in the industrial production of nanoparticles. The perspective of particle trajectories has been used successfully to describe mixing and transport in turbulence, but issues of fundamental importance remain unresolved. One such issue is the Heisenberg-Yaglom prediction of fluid particle accelerations, based on the 1941 scaling theory of Kolmogorov (K41). Here we report acceleration measurements using a detector adapted from high-energy physics to track particles in a laboratory water flow at Reynolds numbers up to 63,000. We find that universal K41 scaling of the acceleration variance is attained at high Reynolds numbers. Our data show strong intermittency---particles are observed with accelerations of up to 1,500 times the acceleration of gravity (40 times the root mean square value). Finally, we find that accelerations manifest the anisotropy of the large scale flow at all Reynolds numbers studied., Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures

Abstract

An experiment is proposed to search for dark photons via electron-positron annihilation into photon plus dark photon. The dark photon would be reconstructed in a missing-mass technique, thus ensuring complete model independent. The Cornell University synchrotron can provide a positron beam suitable to probe the interesting mass range for dark photons. A detector based on CsI calorimetry is proposed, and the potential experimental reach in coupling constant and dark photon mass is shown.

42. Parents' Expectations-Perceptions of Preschool (P.E.P.I.). Discussion Paper No. 4.

Author

Macquarie Univ., North Ryde (Australia). School of Education. and Alexander, Jim

Abstract

Parental expectations and perceptions of curriculum content and processes were measured across five preschool programs in the Mt. Druitt Early Childhood Project. Twenty parents from each of the five programs (Cognitive, Competency, Contemporary, Behaviorist and Home-Based) were randomly selected to be interviewed. Interviews were partly open-ended and partly structured. The structured format consisted of a list of discrete child behaviors compiled to represent a range of goal behaviors for preschool age children. Parents were asked to rate each item on this Behavior Inventory at the beginning of the year in terms of those behaviors they most expected to be the goals for preschool and later in the year in terms of those which they thought had been influenced by the preschool program. Teachers were also asked to rate children on the Behavior Inventory and to rate the emphasis their programs had given to each of the areas. Overall results showed that parents expected preschool most of all to help children develop a range of social behaviors (cooperation, compliance) and then to help children develop certain cognitive/academic skills (communication, explanation, counting, prediction). Most ratings of the effects of preschool were high, although they were below what parents had expected. Results regarding parent expectations and perceptions as well as teacher ratings and program differences are reported, accompanied by partial data. A copy of the interview form and the Behavior Inventory are appended. (JMB)

43. Services to Families, with Many a Slip. Institute of Family Studies Policy Background Paper [No. 1].

Author

Institute of Family Studies, Melbourne (Australia). and Alexander, Jim

Abstract

The objective of the Family Support Services Scheme is to find new ways to prevent the breakdown of families and the institutionalization of children. The view taken in this report is that not much progress has been made toward achieving this goal. Criticisms of and recommendations for the scheme include the following: (1) The program attempts to cover too wide a range of services; (2) The rubric of the family has been used and misused to justify a variety of services and restrictive "family" elegibility criteria; (3) Funds for the scheme should be directed specifically toward supporting services for children and their parents; (4) Services such as housing referral and information or financial counseling should not be subsumed under the scheme; and (5) Dangers exist in the return to the community of responsibility for welfare and support services. The first section of the report examines concepts of the family and their implications for the organization of social welfare services. The second section attempts to show ways in which families are shaped by government policies and programs. In order to set the context for the following chapters, the third section provides a brief historical account of the provision of welfare services for families. The fourth and final section contains a review of the development of the scheme and the principles underlying its objectives. Particular attention is given to the development and operation of the scheme in Victoria and New South Wales, Australia. (RH)

Abstract

The Dark Matter elusiveness could be explained by speculating that it lives in a separate sector with respect to the Standard Model (SM) and that interacts with it only by means of messengers. The simplest model foresees just one messenger: a possibly massive vector boson given by a new U(1) symmetry. This mediator can faintly mix with the photon and, hence, interact with SM charged particles, seeing an effective charge equal to ε ⋅ e, but also the production of axion-like particles or dark scalars can be explored. In searching such mediators at accelerators, the fixed-target approach is favored over colliding beams because of the higher luminosity; among the different classes of experiment the e+e- annihilation is the less model-dependent approach, and has the potential of positively identifying new particles, regardless from its final state. Producing high-energy, high-intensity positron pulses from a LINAC or extracting them from a e+ ring have been both considered: the different available time structure, repetition rate, maximum energy and beam intensity reflect in different sensitivities for dark sector searches, a panorama of the available facilities in Italy and USA is given.
