(Purdue University System)

Purdue University System is a public university system within the U.S. State of Indiana that is anchored by the main campus of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana that is a public land-grant university. With 18,209 acres (73.69 km²) and over 68,000 students, Purdue University System is one of the largest university systems in the United States composed of six campuses of various sizes. The main campus of Purdue University is particularly noted for its engineering, agriculture, and business administration programs, which consistently rank among the very best in the country and the world. From this heritage and reputation, Purdue University operates degree programs systemwide in its areas of technical, scientific, and industrial expertise.

Engineering Research Center on Structured Organic Particulate Systems Mission Statement: To design and build a mixer to be used in the educational and outreach component of the Engineering Research Center to show the characteristic and problems of mixing powders. When required, materials need to be mixed, especially in pharmaceutical and food materials, to ensure obtainig a homogeneous mixture, i.e. correct ratio of the active material (drugs) compared to the inactive materials (excipients) or chocolate in flour for cookies! Tote Mixer: The tote mixer is one of the major mixer used in pharmaceutical mixing. We will be building a tote mixer for our educational project. Problems with mixing powders: Particle Size Flow ability Electrostatic forces Density Moisture content For more information about EPICS please visit the website: http://epics.ecn.purdue.edu/ Next semester: Finish the building of the mixer Write a code to control the mixer Debug both mechanical and electrical problems with the mixer Begin project on Powder milling CSOPS is an equal opportunity EPICS team. This work is aimed to build a mixer that demonstrates to P-12 students the control of mixing and segregation in particulate/powder processing.

J/ψ Cross Section Measurement Yu Zheng, Zoltan Gecse, Ian Shipsey Physics Department, Purdue University Quakonium Production at the LHC Measurement of Prompt and Non-prompt J/ψ Cross Sections J/ψ Hadro-production Motivations Quarkonia Studies at CMS Experiment Three processes dominate J/ψ hadro-production: Prompt J/ψ’s produced directly Prompt J/ψ’s produced indirectly Non-prompt J/ψ’s from the decay of B-hadron. The early data collected by CMS present an excellent opportunity to study quarkonia. - Thanks to the higher collision energy and luminosity, the studies of quarkonia with CMS will probe higher momentum values than feasible at CDF and D0, extending the test of different production mechanisms. CMS also offers a better pseudorapidity coverage, giving the possibility to study many other dependencies. - The precise tracking allows to disentangle the prompt J/ψ production from that coming from B-hadron decays, and therefore allows to determine the B-hadron cross section with a relatively small integrated luminosity. The Jpsi has been discovered more than 30 years ago and has been studied by many experiments (e.g. Tevatron, HERA, …). However, quarkonia still need to be studied at the LHC: Still today quakonium production not understood! In 1997, the Collider Detector at Fermilab collaboration (CDF) reported large excesses in the amount of prompt quarkonia produced with respect to theoretical predictions and new production mechanisms were invented. Theore...

Long-lived Z-Boson Parents in the CMS detector Yu Zheng, Ian Shipsey Physics Department, Purdue University The Large Hadron Collider New Physics with the CMS Detector on LHC Searching for Long-lived Z-Boson Parents Introduction CMS Experiment The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator and hadron collider located at CERN. The LHC is expected to become the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator. The LHC is designed to collide two counter rotating beams of protons or heavy ions. Proton-proton collisions are foreseen at an energy of 7 TeV per beam. The four main experiments and the two ring structure of the LHC Search Strategy Backgrounds To Search for a non-prompt source of Z0 bosons, we select events containing a muon-muon pair with the di-muon mass consistent with Z0 mass and the vertex displaced from the p-pbar interaction point. Signature: excess at large distances from the beam in the transverse plane, Lxy. Trigger: single muon Offline: select Z events with 2 muons with pT > 20 GeV/c and 80 < MZ < 100 GeV. Use well-measured muon tracks. Reject near back-to-back muons (dominant source of background at large Lxy) Six detectors are being constructed at the LHC. They are CMS, ALTAS, ALICE, LHCb, TOTEM and LHCf. Beyond the Standard Model The LHC can detect gauge bosons with masses up to about 4 TeV. This is almost 40 times more massive than the masses of the W and Z bosons. The LHC is expected to produce particles that are not predicte...

The new Silicon detector at RunIIb Tevatron II: the world’s highest energy collider What’s new? Data will be collected from 5 to 15 fb-1 at s=1.96 TeV Instantaneous luminosity will increase up to L=5X1032 cm-2s-1 Average number of interactions per bunch crossing will be 15 at 396 ns (peak luminosity) What is the goal? The Fermilab collider program has the potential for revolutionizing our understanding of elementary particle physics. The combination of the upgrade of the Tevatron complex and the greatly improved detectors provides extraordinary opportunities for discovery The new Silicon detector at RunIIb Physics program at RunIIb How do we obtain high jet tagging efficiency ? We need a robust tracking efficiency, good impact parameter resolution & patter recognition. The success of RunIIb relies and benefits from excellent Silicon Detector. A new silicon detector, SVXIIb, will replace the actual SVXIIa to handle the high density tracking environment and to survive the higher luminosity The physics goals of RunIIb are broad and fundamental: Tevatron is the world’s only source of top quarks: the top seems to be uniquely connected to the mechanism of mass generation Tevatron can uniquely access the BS meson: its mixing rate can determine the length of one of the sides of the unitary triangle Tevatron will experimentally test the new idea that gravity may propagate in more than 4dim of space-time Searc...

Growth of Structure Measurement from a Large Cluster Survey using Chandra and XMM-Newton John R. Peterson (Purdue), J. Garrett Jernigan (SSL, Berkeley), Ravi Gupta (U Penn), Justin Bankert (Purdue), Steven M. Kahn (KIPAC, Stanford) We present a large X-ray selected seredipitous cluster survey based on a novel joint analysis of archival Chandra and XMM-Newton data. The survey provides enough depth to reach clusters of flux of ~ 1014 ergs cm-2 s-1 near z ~ 1 and simultaneously a large enough sample to find evidence for the strong evolution of clusters expected from structure formation theory. We detected a total of 723 clusters of which 462 are newly discovered clusters with greater than 6σ significance. In addition, we also detect and measure 261 previously-known clusters and groups that can be used to calibrate the survey. The survey exploits a technique which combines the exquisite Chandra imaging quality with the high throughput of the XMM-Newton telescopes using overlapping survey regions. A large fraction of the contamination from AGN point sources is mitigated by using this technique. This results in a higher sensitivity for finding clusters of galaxies with relatively few photons and a large part of our survey has a flux sensitivity between 10-14 and 10-15 ergs cm2 s-1. The survey covers 41.2 square degrees of overlapping Chandra and XMM-Newton fields and 122.2 square degrees of non-overlapping Chandra data. We measure the log N-log S distribution and fit it with a...
