SKA ­ TDT Group On Phase Computation during Folding C.Baffa, E.Giani January 2014 The last part of pulsar search algorithm, as in the SKA TDT group approach, is the verification and optimization of pulsar parameters candidates identified in the previous phases. ... As the phase errors are expressed as fractions of the full period (in our case 44 measurement of 50 s), it is evident that the maximum integration time compatible with single precision phase computation is very short. ...

... Abstract: We present a search for a low-mass Standard Model Higgs boson produced in association with a z boson decaying to charged leptons at a center-of-mass energy of s\sqrt{s}=1.96~TeV with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The search is performed in a large data set of events containing two opposite-sign leptons (electron, muon) and one or two b-tagged jets. 4:00pm, 472 Willamette Hall . ...
