The electric dipole moment (EDM) challenge measures a non-zero proton EDM value and this book suggests how the challenge can be met. Any measurably large proton EDM would violate the standard model. The method to be employed uses an intense beam of 'frozen spin' protons circulating for hour-long times in a storage ring 'trap'. The smallness of EDMs allows them to test existing theories, but also makes them hard to measure. Su ...
The confocal microscope is appropriate for imaging cells or the measurement of industrial artefacts. However, junior researchers and instrument users sometimes misuse imaging concepts and metrological characteristics, such as position resolution in industrial metrology and scale resolution in bio-imaging. And, metrological characteristics or influence factors in 3D measurement such as height assessment error caused by 3D coupling effect are so f ...

The book is written so readers are encouraged to experiment with VBA programming with examples using fairly simple physics or non-complicated mathematics such as root finding and nu ...

Second book from respected hiking guru covering day hikes in this part of the country. <BR> While Don’s books address a range of trails, they usually appeal to the “peeps who like steeps” crowd. (Daytrips for more hard core/physically fit. Not kids or seniors.) <BR> Great for niche/local gear stores as stand-alone rather than non-specialized series book. <BR> We had lots of TV, radio, and newspaper cover ...
