The inspiration for this book came from François le Diberder. During his term as
spokesperson for B 八 B 八 R he laid down a vision for the two B Factory detector …

Atmospheric neutrinos are produced as decay products in hadronic showers resulting from
collisions of cosmic rays with nuclei in the atmosphere. Electron neutrinos and muon …

It is shown that the results of the Super-Kamiokande atmospheric neutrino experiment,
interpreted in terms of ν μ↔ ν τ flavor transitions, can probe possible decoherence effects …

We report on a search for heavy neutrinos (ν4) produced in the decay Ds→ τν4 at the SPS
proton target followed by the decay ν4→ ντe+ e− in the NOMAD detector. Both decays are …

Results from the ντ appearance search in a neutrino beam using the full NOMAD data
sample are reported. A new analysis unifies all the hadronic τ decays, significantly …

We present a detailed description of the drift chambers used as an active target and a
tracking device in the NOMAD experiment at CERN. The main characteristics of these …

The Λ polarization in ν μ charged current interactions has been measured in the NOMAD
experiment. The event sample (8087 reconstructed Λ's) is more than an order of magnitude …

Results from the v, appearance search in a neutrino beam using the full NOMAD data
sample are reported. A new analysis unifies all the hadronic tau decays, significantly …

We discuss the degeneracies of 4D and 5D BPS black holes in toroidal compactifications of
M-theory or type-II string theory, using U-duality as a tool. We generalize the 4D/5D lift to …

Mid-infrared images of the Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 279 obtained with the ISO satellite are
presented together with the results of a one-year monitoring campaign of the 2.5-11.7 μm …
