I consider the two-body decay of a particle at a hadron collider into a visible and an invisible particle, generalizing W -> ev, where the masses of the decaying particle and the invisible decay particle are, a priori, unknown. I prove that the transverse ...
The intrinsic permeability k of preforms of packed alpha-SiC particles having monomodal and bimodal particle size distributions has been evaluated by pressureless infiltration of a wetting organic fluid at room temperature. The study was carried out using ...
This thesis describes measurements of Brownian motion of a colloidal particle using optical trapping. Two aspects are investigated: (i) influence of inertial effects on Brownian motion, and (ii) effect of the optical trap on Brownian motion. The first part ...
This paper investigates the limit behavior of Markov decision processes made of independent particles evolving in a common environment, when the number of particles goes to infinity. In the finite horizon case or with a discounted cost and an infinite hori ...
Sixty-three iron-containing particles from five field campaigns (PELTI, ACE-Asia, MILAGRO (urban location and aloft on NCAR C-130), INTEX-B) were characterized with scanning transmission X-ray microscopy and near-edge X-Ray absorption fine structure L-edge ...
We report on a novel microsynthesis method for easy controlling the size of silica micro- and nanoparticles. Colloids are synthesized in a microfluidic chamber by layer-wise adsorption of silica to precipitated nuclei. We prepare samples of spherical parti ...

The thermal conductivity of aluminum matrix composites having a high volume fraction of SiC particles is investigated by comparing data for composites fabricated by infiltrating liquid aluminum into preforms made either from a single particle size, or by m ...
We here present an evaluation of the carrier performance of nanoparticles that are biofunctional, i.e. derivatized to provide a controlled biological activity, and environmentally responsive, since they respond to the presence of oxidants. In particular, w ...
We present a hybrid CMOS-based microfluidic system that combines magnetic actuation of microparticles with in situ optical detection using single photon avalanche diodes (SPADs). The decoupling of the principles used for actuation and sensing permits a hig ...
We draw attention on a particular configuration of supersymmetric particle masses, motivated by naturalness and flavour considerations. All its relevant phenomenological properties for the LHC are described in terms of a few physical parameters, irrespecti ...
