Improving the Measurement of the Top Quark Mass [PDF]
Two possible ways to improve the mass resolution for observing hadronic top quark decay $t \to bW \to 3 jets$ are studied: (1) using fixed cones in the rest frames of the $t$ and $W$ to define the decay jets, instead of the traditional cones in the rest ...

Uniformity Of Radiant Heat Fluxes In Cone Calorimeter [PDF]
A model has been developed for the local configuration factor for the radiant interchange between the internal surface of the cone heater and the specimen's surface in the cone calorimeter. The incident heat flux under the cone was characterised in a series of experiments as a function of spatial coordinates.
