  • J/psi azimuthal anisotropy in Au plus Au collisions at root s(NN)=3D200 GeV

    Zhou, Chensheng  

    The study of J/psi azimuthal anisotropy allows for a disentanglement of various production mechanisms and possibly an access to charm quark azimuthal anisotropy. J/psi meson produced from direct pQCD processes have little azimuthal anisotropy due to the lack of collectivity or azimuthal preference of initial emitting, while J/psi meson produced from recombination of charm quarks in the medium are expected to inherit the azimuthal anisotropy of the constituent charm quarks. We present measurements of J/psi azimuthal anisotropy, with J/psi reconstructed via the di-electron channel, as a function of transverse momentum in Au+Au collisions at root s(NN) =3D 200 GeV. This analysis is carried out with data taken by the STAR experiment during RHIC operation in year 2011. Combined with the published results using 2010 data, the updated results provide further support to the conclusion that J/psi production above 2 GeV/c is unlikely to be dominated by regeneration of fully thermalized charm quarks.

  • Response to the commentaries of Melissa S Anderson and Murray J Dyck

    Kovacs   J.  

    Anderson and Dyck claim that the current trend of almost exclusively using citation-based evaluative metrics to assess the research output of scholars is unsound. I agree with them in this, but I feel that, for practical reasons, this system will not disappear in the near future, so we must concentrate on making it fairer. Both commentators doubt whether numerically expressing each contributor's relative contribution is feasible. I admit that an important precondition for this task is the possibility of an informed, democratic debate among equals about the relative contribution of each contributor to the article. Mechanisms should be established to protect vulnerable researchers in the academic field in the same way as safeguards exist today to protect vulnerable research participants. Theoretically, however, I think that the fair allocation of authorship credit is possible, and much of this task is already being performed routinely when contributors determine the order of their names in the byline, being well aware of the widespread assumption that this order mostly mirrors the order of their relative contributions. All they would have to do as an additional task is to express this order in numbers. If they cannot reach a consensus, they could always choose not to express their relative contribution in numbers, in which case the presumption would be that they contributed equally. My proposal could, at best, make the system fairer and, at worst, not reduce the options that evaluators already have.

  • J/psi pair production at the Tevatron with root s=1.96 TeV

    Qiao Cong-Feng   Sun Li-Ping  

    We study the J/psi pair production issue at the Fermilab Tevatron Run II with a center-of-mass energy of root s = 1.96 TeV. Both the color-singlet and color-octet production mechanisms are considered. Our results show that the transverse momentum (p(T)) scaling behaviors of the double J/psi differential cross-sections in the color-singlets and color-octets deviate distinctively from each other while pT is larger than 8 GeV, and with a luminosity of 5 fb(-1), the J/psi pair events from the color-singlet scheme are substantially measurable in the Tevatron experiments, even with a certain lower transverse momentum cut. Hence the Tevatron is still a possible platform to check the heavy quarkonium production mechanism.

  • R. S. Peters and J. H. Newman on the Aims of Education

    Ozolins, Janis ( John) T.  

    R. S. Peters never explicitly talks about wisdom as being an aim of education. He does, however, in numerous places, emphasize that education is of the whole person and that, whatever else it might be about, it involves the development of knowledge and understanding. Being educated, he claims, is incompatible with being narrowly specialized. Moreover, he argues, education enables a person to have a different perspective on things, 'to travel with a different view' [Peters, R. S. (1967). What is an educational process? In R. S. Peters (Ed.), The concept of education (pp. 1-23). Routledge and Kegan Paul]. In asserting this about education, Peters has more in common with another great English educator, John Henry, Cardinal Newman, than one might expect, given they are separated by about a century and start from different philosophical perspectives, namely Kant to a significant degree in the former and Aristotle in the latter. Both nevertheless acknowledge the importance of reason and its development in any education worthy of the name. I will argue that in describing the 'educated person' Peters is not far from the view of Newman, who saw education as being about the 'enlargement of mind'. Although Newman hesitates to call 'enlargement of mind' wisdom, and Peters does not use either term, there are good grounds for proposing that in distinguishing between education and training, and in asserting education is moral education because it is concerned to improve persons, Peters acknowledges the higher purposes of education and hence, we can add, its connection with wisdom. Significantly, what such a reading of Peters emphasizes is his insistence on the intrinsic value of education, a view seemingly lost in modern market-driven conceptions of education.
