title: DIGITAL TWIN ANALYTICS; LIFE-CYCLE MODELING OF STRUCTURES FOR PRESENT AND FUTURE CONDITION ASSESSMENT
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2021

description: The evaluation of structural systems is a necessary task in order to maintain the integrity of structures over time. These assessments are designed to detect damages of structures and ideally help inspectors to estimate the remaining life of structures. Current methodologies for monitoring structural systems, while providing useful information about the current state of the structures, are limited in the monitoring of structural defects over time and linking them to predictive simulation. A digital twin (DT), as defined here, integrates monitoring observations and geometric survey data with numerical simulations in order to provide depictions of life-cycle performance. The objective of this research is to propose an integrated framework that supports digital twin modeling of structures. Two main aspects of DT model are studied in this dissertation. First, tracking the evolution of remotely sensed defects, along with linking them to numerical simulation is studied in order to provide structural performance characteristics over time. Second, integrating survey information from various data sources is investigated. In the first section, remotely sensed defects are parametrized using feature extraction techniques, and a stochastic dynamic model is then adapted to features to model their evolution over time. Then the future state of defects is predicted through the dynamic model. Later, the Finite Element Model of structural components is linked to the future state of defect for predictive simulation. In the second section, results from multiple non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques are integrated and used as input in a machine learning classifier to provide a feature-level data fusion of NDE measurements. This integrated framework supporting the life-cycle modeling of structural defects provides more reliable forecasting capabilities and a more comprehensive understanding of structural performance, which improves decision-making processes for asset management. The accuracy, effectiveness, adaptability, and feasibility of the presented framework was evaluated with sets of synthetic and laboratory scale data.

description: Vehicle detection is a significant and challenging task in aerial remote sensing applications. Most existing methods detect vehicles with regular rectangle boxes and fail to offer the orientation of vehicles. However, the orientation information is crucial for several practical applications, such as the trajectory and motion estimation of vehicles. In this paper, we propose a novel deep network, called rotatable region-based residual network (R$^3$-Net), to detect multi-oriented vehicles in aerial images and videos. More specially, R$^3$-Net is utilized to generate rotatable rectangular target boxes in a half coordinate system. First, we use a rotatable region proposal network (R-RPN) to generate rotatable region of interests (R-RoIs) from feature maps produced by a deep convolutional neural network. Here, a proposed batch averaging rotatable anchor (BAR anchor) strategy is applied to initialize the shape of vehicle candidates. Next, we propose a rotatable detection network (R-DN) for the final classification and regression of the R-RoIs. In R-DN, a novel rotatable position sensitive pooling (R-PS pooling) is designed to keep the position and orientation information simultaneously while downsampling the feature maps of R-RoIs. In our model, R-RPN and R-DN can be trained jointly. We test our network on two open vehicle detection image datasets, namely DLR 3K Munich Dataset and VEDAI Dataset, demonstrating the high precision and robustness of our method. In addition, further experiments on aerial videos show the good generalization capability of the proposed method and its potential for vehicle tracking in aerial videos.

description: A "natural" model for the QCD invariant (running) coupling, free of the IR singularity, is proposed. It is based upon the hypothesis of finite gluon mass $ m_{gl}$ existence and, technically, uses an accurate treating of threshold behavior of Feynman diagram contribution. The model correlates with the unitarity condition. Quantitative estimate, performed in the one-loop approximation yields a reasonable lower bound for this mass $m_{gl} > 150$ MeV and a smooth IR freezing at the level $α_s(Q^2)\lesssim 1$.

Income taxation and job creation

description: This paper augments the DMP model with large firms and intrafirm wage bargaining by an endogenous decision to become an entrepreneur that is based on heterogeneous entrepreneurial abilities. If workers’ wage bargaining power is not too large and the match efficiency is not too low, the decentralized market equilibrium features an inefficiently high number of entrepreneurs, because they appropriate large parts of the surplus from matches. A realistic calibration with empirically plausible parameters shows this case to be the relevant one. Consequently, introducing a tax on the profits of entrepreneurs restores the constrained first-best allocation by affecting occupational choices. It drives rather unproductive entrepreneurs out of the market since the marginal entrepreneur is affected and not the average one. Thus, the negative effects on job creation are small.

description: Given an ascending sequence of weak symplectic Banach manifolds on which the Darboux theorem is true, we can ask about conditions under which the Darboux Theorem is also true on the direct limit. We will show in general, without very strong conditions, the answer is negative. In particular we give an example of an ascending weak symplectic Banach manifolds on which the Darboux Theorem is true but not on the direct limit. In a second part, we illustrate this discussion in the context of an ascending sequences of Sobolev manifolds of loops in symplectic finite dimensional manifolds. This context gives rise to an example of direct limit of weak symplectic Banach manifolds on which the Darboux theorem is true around any point.

Conserving oyster reef habitat by switching from dredging and tonging to diver-harvesting

description: A major cause of the steep declines of American oyster (Crassos- trea virginica) fisheries is the loss of oyster habitat through the use of dredges that have mined the reef substrata during a century of intense harvest. Experiments comparing the efficiency and habitat impacts of three alternative gears for harvesting oys- ters revealed differences among gear types that might be used to help im- prove the sustainability of commercial oyster fisheries. Hand harvesting by divers produced 25−32% more oysters per unit of time of fishing than tradi- tional dredging and tonging, although the dive operation required two fish- ermen, rather than one. Per capita returns for dive operations may none- theless be competitive with returns for other gears even in the short term if one person culling on deck can serve two or three divers. Dredging reduced the height of reef habitat by 34%, sig- nificantly more than the 23% reduction caused by tonging, both of which were greater than the 6% reduction induced by diver hand-harvesting. Thus, con- servation of the essential habitat and sustainability of the subtidal oyster fishery can be enhanced by switch- ing to diver hand-harvesting. Man- agement schemes must intervene to drive the change in harvest methods because fishermen will face relatively high costs in making the switch and will not necessarily realize the long- term ecological benefits.
Solar and Atmospheric Neutrino Oscillations and Lepton Flavor Violation in Supersymmetric Models with Right-handed Neutrinos

description: Taking the solar and the atmospheric neutrino experiments into account we discuss the lepton flavor violating processes, such as $τ\toμγ$ or $μ\to eγ$, in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with right-handed neutrinos (MSSMRN) and the supersymmetric SU(5) GUT with right-handed neutrinos (SU(5)RN). The predicted branching ratio of $μ\to eγ$ in the MSSMRN with the MSW large angle solution is so large that it goes beyond the current experimental bound if the second-generation right-handed Majorana mass $M_{ν_2}$ is greater than $\sim 10^{13}(\sim 10^{14})$GeV for $\tanβ=30(3)$. When we take the MSW small angle solution, the $μ\to eγ$ rate is at most about 1/100 of that of the MSW large angle solution. The 'just so' solution implies $10^{-5}$ of that of the MSW large angle solution. Also, in the SU(5)RN the large $μ\to eγ$ rate naturally follows from the MSW large angle solution, and the predicted rate is beyond the current experimental bound if the typical right-handed Majorana mass $M_N$ is larger than $\sim 10^{13}(\sim 10^{14})$GeV for $\tanβ=30(3)$, similarly to the MSSMRN. We show the multimass insertion formulas and their applications to $τ\toμγ$ and $μ\to eγ$.

The calculated static structure factor is in excellent agreement with experimental data. The calculated radial distribution function gives a mean coordination number close to 2, but we find a significant fraction of one-fold and three-fold atoms, particularly at 1370~K, so that the chain structure is considerably disrupted. The self-diffusion coefficient has values ($\sim 1 \times 10^{-8}$~m~s$^{-1}$) typical of liquid metals.

description: It has been observationally well established that the magnetic configurations most favorable for producing energetic flaring events reside in delta-spots, a class of sunspots defined as having opposite polarity umbrae sharing a common penumbra. They are frequently characterized by extreme compactness, strong rotation and anti-Hale orientation. Numerous studies have shown that nearly all of the largest solar flares originate in delta-spots, making the understanding of these structures a fundamental step in predicting space weather. Despite their important influence on the space environment, surprisingly little is understood about the origin and behavior of delta-spots. In this paper, we perform a systematic study of the behavior of emerging flux ropes to test a theoretical model for the formation of delta-spots: the kink instability of emerging flux ropes. We simulated the emergence of highly twisted, kink-unstable flux ropes from the convection zone into the corona, and compared their photospheric properties to those of emerged weakly twisted, kink-stable flux ropes. We show that the photospheric manifestations of the emergence of highly twisted flux ropes closely match the observed properties of delta-spots, and we discuss the resulting implications for observations. Our results strongly support and extend previous theoretical work that suggested that the kink instability of emerging flux ropes is a promising candidate to explain delta-spot formation, as it reproduces their key characteristics very well.

description: Age, growth, and reproductive data were obtained from dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus, size range: 89 to 1451 mm fork length [FL]) collected between May 2002 and May 2004 off North Carolina. Annual increments from scales (n=541) and daily increments from sagittal otoliths (n=107) were examined; estimated von Bertalanffy parameters were L∞ (asymptotic length)=1299 mm FL and k (growth coefficient)=1.08/yr. Daily growth increments reduced much of the residual error in length-at-age estimates for age-0 dolphinfish; the estimated average growth rate was 3.78 mm/day during the first six months. Size at 50% maturity was slightly smaller for female (460 mm FL) than male (475 mm FL) dolphinfish. Based on monthly length-adjusted gonad weights, peak spawning occurs from April through July off North Carolina; back-calculated hatching dates from age-0 dolphinfish and prior reproductive studies on the east coast of Florida indicate that dolphinfish spawning occurs year round off the U.S. east coast and highest levels range from January through June. No major changes in length-at-age or size-at-maturity have occurred since the early 1960s, even after substantial increases in fishery landings.

description: We calculate the pion's valence-quark momentum-fraction probability distribution using a Dyson-Schwinger equation model. Valence-quarks with an active mass of 0.30 GeV carry 71% of the pion's momentum at a resolving scale q_0=0.54 GeV = 1/(0.37 fm). The shape of the calculated distribution is characteristic of a strongly bound system and, evolved from q_0 to q=2 GeV, it yields first, second and third moments in agreement with lattice and phenomenological estimates, and valence-quarks carrying 49% of the pion's momentum. However, pointwise there is a discrepancy between our calculated distribution and that hitherto inferred from parametrisations of extant pion-nucleon Drell-Yan data.

description: The adjacency of 2 marine biogeographic regions off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina (NC), and the proximity of the Gulf Stream result in a high biodiversity of species from northern and southern provinces and from coastal and pelagic habitats. We examined spatiotemporal patterns of marine mammal strandings and evidence of human interaction for these strandings along NC shorelines and evaluated whether the spatiotemporal patterns and species diversity of the stranded animals reflected published records of populations in NC waters. During the period of 1997–2008, 1847 stranded animals were documented from 1777 reported events. These animals represented 9 families and 34 species that ranged from tropical delphinids to pagophilic seals. This biodiversity is higher than levels observed in other regions. Most strandings were of coastal bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) (56%), harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) (14%), and harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) (4%). Overall, strandings of northern species peaked in spring. Bottlenose dolphin strandings peaked in spring and fall. Almost half of the strandings, including southern delphinids, occurred north of Cape Hatteras, on only 30% of NC’s coastline. Most stranded animals that were positive for human interaction showed evidence of having been entangled in fishing gear, particularly bottlenose dolphins, harbor porpoises, short-finned pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus), harbor seals, and humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae). Spatiotemporal patterns of bottlenose dolphin strandings were similar to ocean gillnet fishing effort. Biodiversity of the animals stranded on the beaches reflected biodiversity in the waters off NC, albeit not always proportional to the relative abundance of species (e.g., Kogia species). Changes in the spatiotemporal patterns of strandings can serve as indicators of underlying changes due to anthropogenic or naturally occurring events in the source populations.

description: A survey of eight sites on Mona Island revealed four termite species in the family Kalotermitidae: Incisitermes nr. bequaerti (Snyder), I. nr. incisus (Silvestri), Neotermes mona (Banks), and Procryptotermes corniceps (Snyder). Incisitermes nr. bequaerti is a new record for the island. Identifiable wood hosts are reported. All species were found in dead wood, which is typical of drywood termites, but N. mona and P. corniceps were also collected from live wood. Examination of dead wood in three 9.3 m2 plots in a dense stand of Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit. revealed that an average of approximately three-quarters of the wood pieces were attacked by termites. Although the total volume of dead wood was almost six times greater in Plot 1 than in the other two plots, the number of termites per unit volume of dead wood was very similar (0.4 per cm2). Total numbers of individuals per colony ranged from 11 to 3,359 termites. Caste composition is reported for each colony, and large variations among colonies were noted. Alates as well as eggs were more common in larger colonies. Soldier percentages ranged from 0.7% to 20.5% in 16 P. corniceps colonies. The largest colonies occurred when the greatest volume of dead wood was available. /// Un muestreo de ocho sitios en la Isla Mona reveló cuatro especies de termitas de la familia Kalotermitidae: Incisitermes nr. bequaerti (Snyder), I. nr. incisus (Silvestri), Neotermes mona (Banks), y Procryptotermes corniceps (Snyder). Incisitermes nr. bequaerti es un nuevo registro para la isla. Son reportadas las maderas hospedantes. Todas las especies fueron encontradas en madera muerta, lo cual es típico para las termitas de madera seca, pero N. mona y P. corniceps fueron también colectados en madera viva. El exámen de la madera muerta en tres parcelas de 9.3m2 en un denso grupo de Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit. reveló que un promedio de aproximadamente tres cuartos de los pedazos de madera estaban atacados por las termitas. A pesar de que el volumen total de madera muerta fué casi seis veces mayor en la parcela 1 que en las otras dos, el número total de termitas por unidad de volumen de madera muerta fue muy similar (0.4/cm3). El número total de individuos por colonia varió de 11 a 3359 termitas. La composición de las castas es reportada para cada colonia. Fueron observadas grandes variaciones dentro de las colonias. Los porcentajes de soldados variaron de 0.7 a 20.5% en 16 colonias de P. corniceps. Las mayores colonias fueron encontradas cuando el mayor volumen de madera muerta era disponible.

description: Cette étude essaie de répondre à la question : est-ce que Gabrielle Roy, en écrivant sur le Nord, est restée dans les bornes d'une tradition littéraire bien établie, ou at- elle dépassé ces limites ? La première partie essaie d'établir le contexte des écrits sur le Nord. Et puisque, au Canada, le traitement du Nord dans les littératures anglophone et francophone est très différent, il faut d'abord examiner le contexte en étudiant ces deux traditions. En plus, à cause de l'importance des personnages féminins dans l'oeuvre royenne, on va aussi examiner le traitement des femmes dans la littérature du Nord. À la fin de cette première partie sur le contexte, on discutera le clash entre le Nord réel et le Nord inventé et raconté dans la littérature traditionnelle. La deuxième partie fera une comparaison entre l'oeuvre royenne et ces traditions littéraires en examinant de près ses trois oeuvres du Nord : La Petite Poule d'Eau ; La Montagne secrète ; et La Rivières sans repos (comprenant le roman et les trois nouvelles que le précèdent). La discussion essaie de montrer que Gabrielle Roy a brisé certaines conventions dans son traitement du Nord, mais qu'elle n'était pas beaucoup plus au courant de la réalité du Nord que les traitements traditionnels. Elle, comme beaucoup d'autres écrivains non-autochtones, a employé le Nord comme une table rase où elle pouvait projeter et examiner les thèmes qui la préoccupaient, souvent des thèmes universels.

Creators: name: Lee, Michele K.
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries

description: Using 1995 Survey data collected from high school students on Virginia's Eastern Shore, this study investigates how rural adolescents view themselves and their communities, and specifically how sports participation may affect self-esteem and sense of community. Adolescents, faced with a transition period between high school and adulthood, must begin to make choices such as attending college or technical school, entering the workforce, and/or moving away from their home communities. These choices are particularly important to the Eastern Shore because its economic vitality is in decline and its social vitality is hard hit by out-migration. Analyses of data from Northampton County indicate rural adolescents' self-esteem is significantly higher among blacks, females, those planning to attend college, and those expecting to leave the Eastern Shore. Rural adolescents' sense of community is significantly stronger among whites, those expecting to spend their adult lives on the Eastern Shore, and those who participate in organized sports.

Here we examine the ecology of urban riparian zones, focusing on work done in the Baltimore Ecosystem Study, a component of the US National Science Foundation's Long Term Ecological Research network. Research in the Baltimore study has addressed how changes in hydrology associated with urbanization create riparian "hydrologic drought" by lowering water tables, which in turn alters soil, vegetation, and microbial processes. We analyze the nature of past and cur- rent human interactions with riparian ecosystems, and review other urban ecosystem studies to show how our observations mirror those in other cities.

description: We study the $SU(3)_L\otimes U(1)_X$ extension of the Standard model with a strong U(1) coupling. We argue that current experiments limit this coupling to be relatively large. The model is dynamically broken to the Standard $SU(2)_L \otimes U(1)$ model at the scale of a few TeV with all the extra gauge bosons and the exotic quarks acquiring masses much larger than the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking. Furthermore we find that the model leads to large dynamical mass of the top quark and hence also breaks the electroweak gauge symmetry. It therefore leads to large dynamical effects within the Standard model and can partially replace the Higgs interactions.

description: Dam removal is gaining credibility as a viable management option for dams that have deteriorated physically and are no longer economically practical. However, the decision to remove or repair a dam is often contentious and emotionally charged. Part of the acrimony arises from our limited scientific knowledge of the effects of dam removal. We believe that the ecological consequences are best understood by viewing the removal process as a disturbance. Ecological outcomes will include changes that are both environmentally costly, such as invasion of exotic species, and environmentally beneficial, such as increasing access to spawning habitats for migratory fish. It has also become apparent that the wholesale aging of the US dam infrastructure will make dam removal even more common in the future. The challenge ahead is to better understand and manage the consequences of these removals.

description: We present a model of spheres moving in a high-dimensional compact space. We relate it to a mixed matrix model with a $O(N)$ invariant model plus a $P(N)$ invariant perturbation. We then study the low pressure regime by performing a diagrammatic expansion of this matrix model. Finally, we show the results from numerical simulations and we present evidence for a glassy regime at high pressures.

description: We present the results of the optical spectroscopy follow-up of a sample of 28 unclassified blazars from the Third Fermi-LAT Catalog of High-Energy Sources (3FHL). All the spectra were taken with the 4m Mayall telescope at Kitt Peak. With this follow-up program we are able to classify 27 out of 28 objects as BL Lacs, while the remaining one is a flat spectrum radio quasar. We determine a redshift (z) for three of these objects and a lower limit on z for other four sources: the farthest object for which we obtain a redshift has z>0.836. These results are part of a more extended campaign of optical spectroscopy follow-up of 3FHL blazars, aimed to obtain a complete sample of blazars at >10 GeV which will then be used to extend our knowledge on blazar emission mechanisms and on the extragalactic background light.

description: We use a renormalisation group based smoothing to address two questions related to Abelian dominance. Smoothing enables us to extract the Abelian heavy-quark potential from time-like Wilson loops on Polyakov gauge projected configurations. We obtained a very small string tension which is inconsistent with the string tension extracted from Polyakov loop correlators. This shows that the Polyakov gauge projected Abelian configurations do not have a consistent physical meaning. We also apply the smoothing on SU(2) configurations to test how sensitive Abelian dominance in the maximal Abelian gauge is to the short distance fluctuations. We find that on smoothed SU(2) configurations the Abelian string tension was about 30% smaller than the SU(2) string tension which was unaffected by smoothing. This suggests that the approximate Abelian dominance found with the Wilson action is probably an accident and it has no fundamental physical relevance.

description: Infrasound monitoring has proved to be effective in detection of the meteor generated shock waves. When combined with optical observations of meteors, this technique is also reliable for detecting centimeter-sized meteoroids that usually ablate at high altitudes, thus offering relevant clues that open the exploration of the meteoroid flight regimes. Since a shock wave is formed as a result of a passage of the meteoroid through the atmosphere, the knowledge of the physical parameters of the surrounding gas around the meteoroid surface can be used to determine the meteor flow regime. This study analyses the flow regimes of a data set of twenty-four centimeter-sized meteoroids for which well constrained infrasound and photometric information is available. This is the first time that the flow regimes for meteoroids in this size range are validated from observations. From our approach, the Knudsen and Reynolds numbers are calculated, and two different flow regime evaluation approaches are compared in order to validate the theoretical formulation. The results demonstrate that a combination of fluid dynamic dimensionless parameters is needed to allow a better inclusion of the local physical processes of the phenomena.

description: The spin structure functions g1 and g2 have been calculated in the resonance region and for small and intermediate momentum transfer. The calculation is based on a gauge-invariant and unitary model for one-pion photo- and electroproduction. The predictions of the model agree with the asymmetries and the spin sturcture functions recently measured at SLAC, and the first moments of the calculated spin structure functions fullfil the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn and Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rules within an error of typically 5-10 %.

title: Invisible Men in Family Planning: Determinants of Men's Unmet Need in Bangladesh
Creators: name: Khatun, Mahmuda
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries

description: The prevalence of unmet need for family planning is a primary justification for family planning programs, but the prevalence of men's unmet need for family planning and causes of unmet need have not been much explored. This study introduces the concept of men's unmet need for family planning. Using the data from Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey of 1996-97, this study examined the effect of some important correlates (age, socio-economic status, availability of the family planning services, and knowledge about contraceptive methods) on the unmet need for family planning. This study was designed to address the research questions: Do individual characteristics affect men's unmet need for family planning? Does availability of the family planning services affect men's unmet need for family planning? Does knowledge about contraceptive methods affect men's unmet need for family planning?

Analyses revealed some important findings. First, individual characteristic (number of children) and availability of the family planning services (visits of family planning workers and methods discussed with family planning workers) affect men's unmet need for family planning at multivariate level in the first model. The model explains 6 percent of variation in having unmet need for family planning. However, individual characteristics, availability of the family planning services, and knowledge about contraceptive methods have significant effects on men's unmet need for family planning at bivariate level. Second, age is the only significant correlates that affect men's unmet need for family planning in the second model. The second model explains 27 percent of the variation of having unmet need for family planning. Implication and direction for future research are also discussed.

description: Tobacco users generally start their habit during adolescence; 80-90% of tobacco-using adults report that they had their first tobacco experience before they turned 18 (Manhaes, Guthierrez, Filgueiras, & Abreu-Villaca, 2008). According to Manhaes et al. (2008), evidence found early in adolescence indicates that the brain of an adolescent is easily more susceptible to gaining and maintaining a strong dependence on tobacco. Smoking during adolescence is associated with future use that is typically chronic and this usage lessens the likelihood of decreased nicotine consumption over time. There are many factors that play a role in adolescent nicotine use. Anxiety is known to be a crucial factor for initiating nicotine use because of the motivating factor to continue consumption due to elevated anxiety. Although nicotine temporarily alleviates anxiety for tobacco users, increased anxiety is also a symptom of tobacco withdrawal (Manhaes et al., 2008). The differences between adolescent and adult nicotine consumption differ greatly. This study sought to understand these anxiety differences through withdrawal symptoms associated with cessation of chronic nicotine use. This study was essential in order to better understand how nicotine consumption illustrates and modifies behavior after withdrawal symptoms occur. Adults and adolescents were divided into eight groups: adolescent/adult saline familiar, adolescent/adult saline unfamiliar, adolescent/adult nicotine familiar, adolescent/adult nicotine unfamiliar.. The nicotine was administered to nicotine withdrawal groups at 4.7 mg/kg for adolescents and 3.2 mg/kg for adults for 7 days via osmotic minipumps to promote chronic nicotine addiction. A dose of 1.5 mg/kg for adolescents and 3.0 mg/kg for adults of mecamylamine was given to all groups during EPM testing and on OF trial day 3 to test the effects of withdrawal-induced stress that promotes anxiety-like behavior. Once tested, adolescents showed no significant differences when environment type was manipulated. Adolescents exhibited less anxiety-like behavior during withdrawal on the OF task. Even when exposed to a novel environment, adolescents still maintained a lower amount of anxiety-like behavior than adults.This further supported the notion that adolescents differ in their reactions to withdrawal when compared to adults.
Using kaon regeneration to probe the quark mixing parameter cos(2 beta) in B --> psi K decays

description: We suggest a novel method to determine the sign of cos(2 beta) in the decays B --> psi K, by creating interference between KL and KS final states via ``regeneration,'' that is propagation through a matter target region to convert some KL to KS. The determination of this quantity resolves an ambiguity between beta and (90o - beta) that remains after the standard measurements of sin(2 beta) and may turn out to be important in resolving whether the result is in agreement with Standard Model predictions or indicates the presence of new physics. We find the measurement is feasible at a B-factory, but requires several years of high-luminosity running with a regeneration target affecting a significant fraction of the detector.
