description: AxFe2-ySe2 (A=K, Rb, Cs) superconductors may show a complex mixture of structural phases even in a single crystal form. A full sphere of the diffraction intensity has been collected, with the help of synchrotron radiation, for Cs0.8Fe1.6Se2 . In addition to the expected pattern for the tetragonal phase with ordered Fe vacancies, a diffuse scattering from Cs occupational disorder has been observed, together with an extra Bragg contribution from a minor phase. The minor phase, in agreement with previous findings, is compressed in the tetragonal a-b plane and expanded along the c-direction; a set of modulated Bragg rods evidences a planar disorder. Fourfold splitting of the rods as well as the main Bragg peaks for L\neq0 imply that symmetry of the minor phase is not higher than monoclinic. The monoclinic distortion was estimated to be 90.7 degrees. Structured diffuse scattering, observed on top of the Bragg component, relates to the major phase and is attributed to a correlated distribution of Cs ions. Elastic nature of the observed scattering was confirmed by additional inelastic X-ray scattering experiment. Diffuse scattering forms 3D objects that have topological similarity with what one would expect, under assumptions discussed in the text, for a Fermi surface nesting.

description: This thesis examines the role of Norman Kenney Luxton as entrepreneur in the early history of the tourist industry of Banff, Alberta. Luxton established many of Banff’s first tourist attractions and actively shaped an image for the town between his arrival in 1902, and the end of World War II in 1945. This thesis focusses on the nature of the Wild West image Luxton actively promoted, and seeks to explain why that image was so popular in the opening decades of the twentieth century. Luxton sold his image through the items he offered for sale in his curio shop, the Sign of the Goat. As well, Luxton promoted a Wild West image through the Banff Indian Days, an annual festival in Banff attracting tourists from around the world that Luxton popularized. This study reveals that the Wild West image was not only an integral part and reflection of Luxton's own personality, but also appealed to the local Stoney Indian population and visiting tourists for a number of different reasons. Banff has traditionally been approached by academic historians as an elite health spa, a cultural haven in the Canadian wilds, built along British and continental European lines. This thesis, on the other hand, approaches Banff from a different perspective. Borrowing interpretive frameworks from the disciplines of Anthropology and History, it proposes that it was the uncivilized wilderness that attracted the visitors, and seeks to explain the nature of that attraction of "wildness" to the Euro-American citizens arriving in Banff before 1945. As well, it is concerned with the nature of Indian participation in the selling of this "wildness" to Banff visitors. Finally, as a result of its unique interdisciplinary approach, this thesis is able to offer a new interpretation of both Indian-White relations and the role of nature in early twentieth century society.

description: The relative power of women in our society has been much debated and analyzed in the sociological literature with conclusions varying only slightly: women, in general, we are told, have no real power. Careful analysis of previous studies into power reveals that an accurate understanding of women in this regard was impossible either because of the definition of power used or because of the methodological approach or because of both. Further, religion has been found to be a major source of restriction and socialization of women in the area of power. Herein lies the impetus for the study undertaken here. This exploratory research examines Jewish women's definitions of their own situations as these relate to their perceived power. A semi-structured interview was used which allowed respondents to contribute their personal ideas to the study. Topics of discussion included decision-making within the home and synagogue, the relative importance and frequency of each type of decision, the role and status of women within Judaism, the impact of parental culture and religious background, the attitudes toward the ordination of women within Judaism, and the exclusion of women from the praying quorum. Also addressed were the definition of the mothering role for Jewish women, the obligation to bear and rear children, and the variables of age, education, paid work outside the home, and denomination of Judaism with which the women identified. These were treated as possible explanatory factors for the variability found in the perceptions of power. A number of conclusions emerged. First, Jewish women and men share power. Each has their own circle of control, but neither has so much power as to dominate the other. Jewish women control the domestic sphere, but men participate in domestic decision-making and household duties. The care of children is a primary responsibility for women according to Jewish law, but men take part in some of the required duties in this regard (i.e., taking time off from work to care for a sick child). Jewish men control the religious sphere, but women, through the sisterhood, raise the funds necessary to run and maintain the synagogue and vote on issues pertaining to the congregation. Second, in contradiction to the psychoanalytic view of power, Jewish women can control and define the mothering role. This is illustrated by their ability to delegate the chores of childrearing to others. Further, the women interviewed maintained that they were under no obligation to bear children even if the men are obliged to try to produce them. Finally, factors such as age, branch of Judaism with which the woman identified, and stories of persecution and survival were found to be related to perceived power. No relationship was found between education and perceived power.

description: Magnetic properties of the conduction pi-electron system of kappa-BETS)2Mn[N(CN)2]3 have been probed using 13C NMR. At ambient pressure, the metal-insulator transition observed in the resistivity measurements below T~23K is shown to be accompanied by ordering of the pi-spins in a long-range staggered structure. As the metal-insulator transition is suppressed by applying a small pressure of ~0.5 kbar, the pi-spin system maintains the properties of the metallic state down to 5K.

Year: 2015

description: The ratcheting behavior of 9% Cr-1% Mo ferritic-martensitic (FM) steel P91 is investigated by uniaxial cyclic loading tests. Strain-controlled tests are performed to evaluate the cyclic softening and stress-controlled tests are performed to evaluate the ratcheting behavior. A new constitutive model is proposed to fit the ratcheting behavior of P91. A new dynamic recovery rule is designed to fit the ratcheting rates under multiple loading conditions.
Analogy between turbulence and quantum gravity: beyond Kolmogorov's 1941 theory

description: Simple arguments based on the general properties of quantum fluctuations have been recently shown to imply that quantum fluctuations of spacetime obey the same scaling laws of the velocity fluctuations in a homogeneous incompressible turbulent flow, as described by Kolmogorov 1941 (K41) scaling theory. Less noted, however, is the fact that this analogy rules out the possibility of a fractal quantum spacetime, in contradiction with growing evidence in quantum gravity research. In this Note, we show that the notion of a fractal quantum spacetime can be restored by extending the analogy between turbulence and quantum gravity beyond the realm of K41 theory. In particular, it is shown that compatibility of a fractal quantum-space time with the recent Horava-Lifshitz scenario for quantum gravity, implies singular quantum wavefunctions. Finally, we propose an operational procedure, based on Extended Self-Similarity techniques, to inspect the (multi)-scaling properties of quantum gravitational fluctuations.

Nilaparvata lugens (Stal), Metcalf, Cat. Hemip., Fulgoroidea (3): 296, 1943. In 1936, we found the rice leafhopper wherever rice was growing. Our collections of it were as follows: Inarajan, May 7, Bryan, Swezey, Usinger; Inarajan, June 8, Sept. 30, Swezey; Merizo, Oct. 2, Swezey; Piti, Sept. 1, Nov. 22, Swezey; Atantano, Sept. 3, Swezey. At Inarajan, Sept. 30, the leafhoppers were so numerous in rice seedling plots as to ruin the young plants. At that time they were coming to lights by hundreds in the village more than half a mile distant. At Merizo, Oct. 2; they were abundant in the seedling plots, but not destructive. In the evening of Nov. 30, this leafhopper was swarming at the electric lights on the dock at Piti. This is one of several leafhoppers known on rice in the Orient. This1particular one has a wide distribution, and is known under different names in different places from India, Ceylon, Java, and the Philippines. On the authority of Muir, the names given above are synonyms (Haw. Sugar Plant. Assoc. Expt. Sta., Ent. Bull. 15: 16, 17, 1924), and lugens Stal has priority of date. This rice leafhopper must have been a rather recent immigrant in Guam, for the first record I have found of it was in the Governor's Report for 1934, where a Megamelits is reported on rice at Merizo, Piti, Asan, Atantano, and Agat. As these include nearly all the localities where rice is grown, this leafhopper must have been already generally distributed. There was no mention of it in entomological notes of the Guam Experiment Station reports, which _wereissued up to the time the station was discontinued in 1932. Usually the little green mirid bug Cyrtorhinus lividipennis was associated with infestations of this leafhopper, and no doubt feeds on its eg:gs as it does on the corn leafhopper eggs. At Inarajan, June 8, several leafhoppers were collected having dryinid larvae attached, and one male dryinid was reared. Its identity is unknown. Two species of ladybeetles were usually common in rice fields (Harmonia arcuata and Coelophora inaequalis) and are thought to feed to some extent on the leafhoppers.

description: We study properties of a trapped dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a circular ring or a spherical shell using the mean-field Gross-Pitaevskii equation. In the case of the ring-shaped trap we consider different orientations of the ring with respect to the polarization direction of the dipoles. In the presence of long-range anisotropic dipolar and short-range contact interactions, the anisotropic density distribution of the dipolar BEC in both traps is discussed in detail. The stability condition of the dipolar BEC in both traps is illustrated in phase plot of dipolar and contact interactions. We also study and discuss the properties of a vortex dipolar BEC in these traps.

description: We investigate some aspects of relativistic classical theories with "relative locality", in which pairs of events established to be coincident by nearby observers may be described as non-coincident by distant observers. While previous studies focused mainly on the case of longitudinal relative locality, where the effect occurs along the direction connecting the distant observer to the events, we here focus on transverse relative locality, in which instead the effect is found in a direction orthogonal to the one connecting the distant observer to the events. Our findings suggest that, at least for theories of free particles such as the one in arXiv:1006.2126, transverse relative locality is as significant as longitudinal relative locality both conceptually and quantitatively. And we observe that "dual gravity lensing", first discussed in arXiv:1103.5626, can be viewed as one of two components of transverse relative locality. We also speculate about a type of spacetime noncommutativity for which transverse relative locality could be particularly significant.

description: We apply cumulative advantage (CA) theory to understand the social hierarchies behind the accumulation of skills and rewards through Adult Learning and Education (ALE) – formal, informal, and non-formal. Using representative data from the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS-HSE), we confirm the assumption of CA theory that advantages are accumulated through ALE, not only within social groups, but also between them. For individuals coming from educationally advantaged families but without higher education, participation in informal non-job-related ALE and formal ALE enhances employment chances. It is therefore a strategy to compensate for the lack of higher education for those coming from educationally advantaged families. For those coming from less educationally advantaged families, higher education moderates the positive effect on wages of non-formal ALE without employer support. Rather than being a way to compensate for between-group inequalities, this type of ALE allows for labour market adaptation for the educationally disadvantaged and has positive effects within the group. We conclude that various types of ALE are institutionalised into different paths of human capital accumulation.

description: Plasmonic terahertz detection by a double-grating gate field-effect transistor structure with an asymmetric unit cell is studied theoretically. Detection responsivity exceeding 8 kV/W at room temperature in the photovoltaic response mode is predicted for strong asymmetry of the structure unit cell. This value of the responsivity is an order of magnitude greater than reported previously for the other types of uncooled plasmonic terahertz detectors. Such enormous responsivity can be obtained without using any supplementary antenna elements because the double-grating gate acts as an aerial matched antenna that effectively couples the incoming terahertz radiation to plasma oscillations in the structure channel.

description: Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations have been carried out to reveal the characteristic features of ethylenediamine (EDA) cored protonated poly amido amine (PAMAM) dendrimers of generation 3 (G3) and 4 (G4) that are functionalized with single stranded DNAs (ssDNAs). The four ssDNA strands that are attached via alkythiolate [-S (CH2)6-] linker molecule to the free amine groups on the surface of the PAMAM dendrimers observed to undergo a rapid conformational change during the 25 ns long simulation period. From the RMSD values of ssDNAs, we find relative stability in the case of purine rich ssDNA strands than pyrimidine rich ssDNA strands. The degree of wrapping of ssDNA strands on the dendrimer molecule was found to be influenced by the charge ratio of DNA and the dendrimer. As G4 dendrimer contains relatively more positive charge than G3 dendrimer, we observe extensive wrapping of ssDNAs on the G4 dendrimer. The ssDNA strands along with the linkers are seen to penetrate the surface of the dendrimer molecule and approach closer to the center of the dendrimer indicating the soft sphere nature of the dendrimer molecule. The effective radius of DNA-functionalized dendrimer nanoparticle was found to be independent of base composition of ssDNAs and was observed to be around 19.5 Å and 22.4 Å when we used G3 and G4 PAMAM dendrimer as the core of the nanoparticle respectively. The observed effective radius of DNA-functionalized dendrimer molecule apparently indicates the significant shrinkage in the structure that has taken place in dendrimer, linker and DNA strands. As a whole our results describe the characteristic features of DNA-functionalized dendrimer nanoparticle and can be used as strong inputs to design effectively the DNA-dendrimer nanoparticle self-assembly for their active biological applications.

description: This deliverable provides a preliminary report on the first's pilot experimental design and on the acquired data. In addition, a first evaluation of the VIDEOM multispectral imaging sensor in terms of its application on the specific types of fish and on its actual application along the fish chain and the identified critical points in this chain (functionality, operational conditions etc.). Thus, towards this scope and in the general concept of WP6, the corresponding partners (AUA, NTNU, UoI and MATIS), define and set up the experimental conditions of each of the three pilots and acquire the measurement using the VIDEOM provided sensor. The collected data will serve as inputs for further use and analysis, i.e. machine learning model training and deployment.
 In Task 6.1, to which this deliverable accounts for, AUA, NTNU, UoI and MATIS will perform measurements with the provided by VIDEOM sensor on domestic fish samples, specifically 3 types of fish: Atlantic salmon, Atlantic whitefish, and Mediterranean seabream/seabass. The measurements are performed in a way that simulates the real food chain so as to evaluate the sensor in tandem with the hazard/quality detection algorithms that will be developed according to the initial experiment design for the 3 pilots as outlined in D2.3. Initially, a first round of measurements has been applied in order to ensure and compensate any field variations reflected on the data.
 Those data will further be used for the training of the prediction/detection models to be developed. Then, additional measurements will be performed for system validation purposes along the whole food chain, resulting in the creation of a database, so as to reproduce the results and compare the final algorithms and analytics approaches in order to ensure the efficiency and robustness in terms of future application and traceability of any erroneous predictions. It should be mentioned that all measurements are backed up by simultaneously acquired reference measurements coming from conventional/traditional microbiological and/or chemical methods. Those reference measurements serve as the "ground truth" for system validation and evaluation in Task6.2 with the participation of VIDEOM, where the evaluation will be on a specific KPIs set; the accuracy on the determination of sample properties like colour, texture, surface chemistry, contamination, oxidation, species and/or parasites, all this in conjunction to the "ground truth" as provided by lab analyses; Also, the traceability efficiency will be validated across the food chain, knowing the "real" sample properties.

description: The rise of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in the context of computer vision has occurred in tandem with the advancement of depth sensing technology. Depth cameras are capable of yielding two-dimensional arrays storing at each pixel the distance from objects and surfaces in a scene from a given sensor, aligned with a regular color image, obtaining so-called RGBD images. Inspired by prior models in the literature, this work develops a suite of RGBD CNN models to tackle the challenging tasks of object detection, instance segmentation, and semantic segmentation. Prominent architectures for object detection and image segmentation are modified to incorporate dual backbone approaches inputting RGB and depth images, combining features from both modalities through the use of novel fusion modules. For each task, the models developed are competitive with state-of-the-art RGBD architectures. In particular, the proposed RGBD object detection approach achieves 53.5% mAP on the SUN RGBD 19-class object detection benchmark, while the proposed RGBD semantic segmentation architecture yields 69.4% accuracy with respect to the SUN RGBD 37-class semantic segmentation benchmark. An original 13-class RGBD instance segmentation benchmark is introduced for the SUN RGBD dataset, for which the proposed model achieves 38.4% mAP. Additionally, an original depth-aware panoptic segmentation model is developed, trained, and tested for new benchmarks conceived for the NYUDv2 and SUN RGBD datasets. These benchmarks offer researchers a baseline for the task of RGBD panoptic segmentation on these datasets, where the novel depth-aware model outperforms a comparable RGB counterpart.

description: Quantum repeaters hold the promise to prevent the photon losses in communication channels. Most recently, the serious efforts have been applied to achieve scalable distribution of entanglement over long distances. However, the probabilistic nature of entanglement generation and realistic quantum memory storage times make the implementation of quantum repeaters an outstanding experimental challenge. We propose a quantum repeater protocol based on the deterministic storage of a single photon in atomic ensembles confined in distant high-finesse cavities and show that this system is capable of distributing the entanglement over long distances with a much higher rate as compared to previous protocols, thereby alleviating the limitations on the quantum memory lifetime by several orders of magnitude. Our scheme is robust with respect to phase fluctuations in the quantum channel, while the fidelity imperfection is fixed and negligibly small at each step of entanglement swapping.

description: Over a decade ago, the H1 Collaboration decided to embrace the object-oriented paradigm and completely redesign its data analysis model and data storage format. The event data model, based on the RooT framework, consists of three layers - tracks and calorimeter clusters, identified particles and finally event summary data - with a singleton class providing unified access. This original solution was then augmented with a fourth layer containing user-defined objects. This contribution will summarise the history of the solutions used, from modifications to the original design, to the evolution of the high-level end-user analysis object framework which is used by H1 today. Several important issues are addressed - the portability of expert knowledge to increase the efficiency of data analysis, the flexibility of the framework to incorporate new analyses, the performance and ease of use, and lessons learned for future projects.

A model of the T-dependent pseudogap and its competition with superconductivity in copp er oxides

description: Results for pseudogaps are obtained from a band model, where the stability of the gap depends on the amplitudes of vibrational displacements, or magnetic moments, and their coupling to electrons. A one-particle gap is favored by normal thermal excitations of phonons or spin waves. Another gap can be generated by spontaneous waves at lower temperature, if the electronic energy gain overcomes the elastic/magnetic energy needed for increased amplitudes of the oscillations. This state is characterized by charge or spin density waves. The pseudogap has many features in common with the superconducting gap, and the model lends support to the interpretation that the pseudogap is a precursor of, and competes with, superconducting pairing.

description: We present sensitive high angular resolution ($\sim$ 1$"$) millimeter continuum and line observations from the massive star forming region DR21(OH) located in the Cygnus X molecular cloud. Within the well-known dusty MM1-2 molecular cores, we report the detection of a new cluster of about ten compact continuum millimeter sources with masses between 5 and 24 M$_\odot$, and sizes of a few thousands of astronomical units. These objects are likely to be large dusty envelopes surrounding massive protostars, some of them most probably driving several of the outflows that emanate from this region. Additionally, we report the detection of strong millimeter emission of formaldehyde (H$_2$CO) and methanol (CH$_3$OH) near 218 GHz as well as compact emission from the typical outflow tracers carbon monoxide and silicon monoxide (CO and SiO) toward this massive star-forming region. The H$_2$CO and CH$_3$OH emission is luminous ($\sim$ 10$^{-4}$ L$_{\odot}$), well resolved, and found along the collimated methanol maser outflow first identified at centimeter wavelengths and in the sources SMA6 and SMA7. Our observations suggest that this maser outflow might be energized by a millimeter source called SMA4 located in the MM2 dusty core. The CO and SiO emission traces some other collimated outflows that emanate from MM1-2 cores, and are not related with the low velocity maser outflow.

description: Effective dissemination and communication are important to assure that the TraceMyFish project results reach the appropriate stakeholders both during and at the end of the project duration. Work Package 7 is specially devoted to the dissemination and communication activities, as well as tackling responsible research and innovation (RRI) aspects of the project.
 This communications and dissemination report (D7.2) gives a description of the main communications and dissemination activities which the TraceMyFish consortium during the first project year, and gives an updated plan of the upcoming activities that will be incorporated during the second (and last) project year. Furthermore, the report summarizes the dissemination and communication progress based on the key performance indicators (KPIs) defined in the Communications and dissemination plan (D7.1) to monitor the progress within Work package 7.
 The monitoring of the KPIs were used to assess the effectiveness of the communication and dissemination activities, which will be summarized and reported on an annual basis throughout the project duration. The mid-project evaluation (M12) will, furthermore, be used to identify stakeholder groups that might require further attention in the dissemination activities, and these groups will thus be targeted specifically in the second year of the project.
 Deliverable 7.2 will be followed up with the second annual reporting on the communications and dissemination activities (deliverable 7.3, due in M24), as well as by the submission of annual reports on human capacity building (HCB) activities facilitated by the TraceMyFish project (deliverables 7.4-7.5 in M12 and M24, respectively).
Critical behavior in Angelesco ensembles

description: We consider Angelesco ensembles with respect to two modified Jacobi weights on touching intervals [a,0] and [0,1], for a < 0. As a \to -1 the particles around 0 experience a phase transition. This transition is studied in a double scaling limit, where we let the number of particles of the ensemble tend to infinity while the parameter a tends to -1 at a rate of order n^{-1/2}. The correlation kernel converges, in this regime, to a new kind of universal kernel, the Angelesco kernel K^{Ang}. The result follows from the Deift/Zhou steepest descent analysis, applied to the Riemann-Hilbert problem for multiple orthogonal polynomials.

description: Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are the evolved descendants of massive O-type stars and are considered to be progenitor candidates for Type Ib/c core-collapse supernovae (SNe). Recent results of our HST/WFC3 survey of Wolf-Rayet stars in M101 are summarised based on the detection efficiency of narrow-band optical imaging compared to broad-band methods. Weshow that on average of 42% WR stars, increasing to ~85% in central regions, are only detected in the narrow-band imaging. Hence, the non-detection of a WR star at the location of ~10 Type Ib/c SNe in broad-band imaging is no longer strong evidence for a non-WR progenitor channel.

description: Using an image subtraction method we have searched for variable stars in the globular cluster M14. We confirmed 62 previously known catalogued variables. In addition to the previoulsy known variables we have identified 71 new variables. We have confirmed the periods of most of the cataloged variables with just a few exceptions. Of the the total number of confirmed variables, we found a total of 112 RR Lyrae stars, several of which exhibited the Blazhko Effect. Of the total we classified 55 RR0, 57 RR1, 19 variables with periods greater than 2 days, a W UMa contact binary, and an SX Phe star. We present the periods of previously found variables as well as the periods, classification, and lightcurves of the newly discovered variables.

Untitled Exploring Gender Equity Issues Facing Australian Theravadin Bhikkhunīs: A Preliminary Analysis of Early Respondent Data
Creators: name: Sneddon, Roy
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2022
Subjects: Gender and politics

description: In 2009, four Australian Buddhist nuns undertook the upasampada ceremony at Bodhinyana Monastery in Western Australia, becoming fully ordained Theravadin bhikkhunīs. This was considered highly controversial in global Buddhist circles, yet there is a gap in the academic research on Australian bhikkhunīs, who continue to ordain and have a growing community. This article is a preliminary analysis of interviews with Australian based Theravadin nuns, monks, and laity for their perspectives on the gender issues raised in the international literature, to gain an understanding of the status of Australian nuns and the barriers that they may experience.
Stable Birational Equivalence and Geometric Chevalley-Warning

description: We propose a 'geometric Chevalley-Warning' conjecture, that is a motivic extension of the Chevalley-Warning theorem in number theory. It is equivalent to a particular case of a recent conjecture of F. Brown and O.Schnetz. In this paper, we show the conjecture is true for linear hyperplane arrangements, quadratic and singular cubic hypersurfaces of any dimension, and cubic surfaces in $\Pbb^3$. The last section is devoted to verifying the conjecture for certain special kinds of hypersurfaces of any dimension. As a by-product, we obtain information on the Grothendieck classes of the affine 'Potts model' hypersurfaces considered in \cite{aluffimarcolli1}.

description: The stellar mass-luminosity relation is poorly constrained by observations for high mass stars. We describe our program to find eclipsing massive binaries in the Magellanic Clouds using photometry of regions rich in massive stars, and our spectroscopic follow-up to obtain radial velocities and orbits. Our photometric campaign identified 48 early-type periodic variables, of which only 15 (31%) were found as part of the microlensing surveys. Spectroscopy is now complete for 17 of these systems, and in this paper we present analysis of the first two, LMC 172231 and ST2-28, simple detached systems of late-type O dwarfs of relatively modest masses. Our orbit analysis yields very precise masses (2%) and we use tomography to separate the components and determine effective temperatures by model fitting, necessary for determining accurate (0.05-0.07 dex) bolometric luminosities in combination with the light-curve analysis. Our approach allows more precise comparisons with evolutionary theory than previously possible. To our considerable surprise, we find a small, but significant, systematic discrepancy: all of the stars are slightly under-massive, by typically 11% (or over-luminous by 0.2 dex) compared to that predicted by the evolutionary models. We examine our approach for systematic problems, but find no satisfactory explanation. The discrepancy is in the same sense as the long-discussed and elusive discrepancy between the masses measured from stellar atmosphere analysis with the stellar evolutionary models, and might suggest that either increased rotation or convective overshooting is needed in the models. Additional systems will be discussed in future papers of this series, and will hopefully confirm or refute this trend.

description: Supersymmetric models with bilinear R-parity violation (BRPV) can account for the observed neutrino masses and mixing parameters indicated by neutrino oscillation data. We consider minimal supergravity versions of BRPV where the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) is a neutralino. This is unstable, with a large enough decay length to be detected at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We analyse the LHC potential to determine the LSP properties, such as mass, lifetime and branching ratios, and discuss their relation to neutrino properties.
