Bound States in the Continuum in a Wire Medium

We show that a slab of wire medium composed of thin parallel metallic wires can naturally support bound states in the continuum (BICs) formed in an unusual way. The revealed BICs appear due to the strong spatial dispersion making possible the propagation of longitudinal plasma-like waves and TEM polarized modes with a flat band. The symmetry-protected (at-$Γ$) BICs are formed due to the polarization mismatch between the longitudinal plasma-like waves and transversal plane waves in the surrounding space, while the accidental (off-$Γ$) BICs appear as a result of the destructive interference between bulk TEM and plasma modes. All revealed BICs can be well-described analytically without the use of the Bloch theorem within effective medium approximation when the wire medium behaves as homogeneous 1D anisotropic plasma with strong spatial dispersion.

Management of Grid Jobs and Information within SAMGrid

We describe some of the key aspects of the SAMGrid system, used by the D0 and CDF experiments at Fermilab. Having sustained success of the data handling part of SAMGrid, we have developed new services for job and information services. Our job management is rooted in \CondorG and uses enhancements that are general applicability for HEP grids. Our information system is based on a uniform framework for configuration management based on XML data representation and processing.

D0 Data Handling Operational Experience

We report on the production experience of the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron, using the SAM data handling system with a variety of computing hardware configurations, batch systems, and mass storage strategies. We have stored more than 300 TB of data in the Fermilab Enstore mass storage system. We deliver data through this system at an average rate of more than 2 TB/day to analysis programs, with a substantial multiplication factor in the consumed data through intelligent cache management. We handle more than 1.7 Million files in this system and provide data delivery to user jobs at Fermilab on four types of systems: a reconstruction farm, a large SMP system, a Linux batch cluster, and a Linux desktop cluster. In addition, we import simulation data generated at 6 sites worldwide, and deliver data to jobs at many more sites. We describe the scope of the data handling deployment worldwide, the operational experience with this system, and the feedback of that experience.

Adapting SAM for CDF

The CDF and D0 experiments probe the high-energy frontier and as they do so have accumulated hundreds of Terabytes of data on the way to petabytes of data over the next two years. The experiments have made a commitment to use the developing Grid based on the SAM system to handle these data. The D0 SAM has been extended for use in CDF as common patterns of design emerged to meet the similar requirements of these experiments. The process by which the merger was achieved is explained with particular emphasis on lessons learned concerning the database design patterns plus realization of the use cases.

Grid Based Monitoring on the Rutgers CDF Analysis Farm

Run II at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider started in March 2001, and it will continue probing the high energy frontier in particle physics until the start of the LHC at CERN. The CDF collaboration at Fermilab has already stored 260 TB of data and expects to store 1PB of data in the next two years. The HEXCAF computing farm is being set up at Rutgers University to provide the software environment, computing resources, and access to data for physicists participating in the Collaboration. Some job submission, detector data access and storage of the output results are based on the SAM-GRID tools. To extend monitoring for these jobs running on the farm a bridge was developed between the SAM-GRID monitoring tools and the internal farm monitoring. This presentation will describe the configuration and functionality of the HEXCAF farm with the emphasis on the monitoring tools. Finally we summarize our experience of installing and operating a GRID environment on a remote cluster that is being used for real physics studies in the big running experiment.

Scaling Violation through Squark and Light Gluino Production

In the light gluino scenario, squarks in the 100 GeV mass region can be copiously produced at the Tevatron without a second heavy particle. Their subsequent dijet decay into quark plus gluino leads to non-scaling structure in the inclusive jet X_T distribution. The expected behavior is similar to recent observations.

Inclusive Jet E_T Distributions and Light Gluinos

In the light gluino variant of the minimal supersymmetric model gluino pairs can be readily produced in collider experiments even if the squarks are arbitrarily heavy. This enhances the jet transverse energy distributions. In addition the slower running of the strong coupling constant in the presence of light gluinos leads to a further enhancement at higher transverse energies relative to the standard $QCD$ expectations. Finally, the enhanced squark gluino production would lead to a Jacobian peak in the $E_T$ distribution at about $M_{\tilde Q}/2$. These effects are of about the right magnitude to explain anomalies observed by the $CDF$ and $D0$ collaborations.

Light Gluino And Squark Production In Dijet Experiments At Tevatron

We consider single squark production in $p\overline{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1800$ Gev in the light gluino scenario, where production is dominated by the parton subprocess $qg\rightarrow \tilde{q}\tilde{g}\rightarrow q\tilde{g}\tilde{g}$. Computed are the total production cross-sections as well as the contribution of such production to the dijet mass distribution. We compare our cross-sections to the experimental data from the CDF collaboration with integrated luminosity of $19 pb^{-1}$.
