    Background: In BLT (bone marrow-liver-thymus) humanized mice, human thymocytes are educated by autologous human thymic tissue, resulting in functional human T cells capable of rapidly selecting for CTL escape mutations ...
  • Neutral pion lifetime measurements and the QCD chiral anomaly 
    Bernstein, Aron M.; Holstein, Barry R. (American Physical Society, 2013-01)
    A fundamental property of QCD is the presence of the chiral anomaly, which is the dominant component of the π[superscript 0]→γγ decay rate. Based on this anomaly and its small (≃4.5%) chiral correction, a prediction of the ...

    Monroe, Jocelyn (IOP Publishing, 2008-05)
    Neutrino-nucleus coherent scattering cross sections can be as large as 10[superscript −39] cm[superscript 2], while current dark matter experiments have sensitivities to WIMP coherent scattering cross sections several ...
  • Neutrino experiments and the Large Hadron Collider: friends across 14 orders of magnitude 
    Conrad, Janet (IOP Publishing, 2013-12)
    This paper explores some of the questions that connect the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and neutrino experiments. What is the origin of mass? What is the meaning of flavor? Is there direct evidence of new forces or particles? ...
  • Neutrino Scattering at High Energies 
    Conrad, Janet (American Institute of Physics, 2010-03)
    The construction of a high energy (~100 GeV), sign-selected neutrino beam opens exciting opportunities to search for beyond-standard-model physics as well as to make valuable QCD measurements. Such a beam can be produced ...
