Schmoll, J., Basden, A., Bramall, D., Clark, P., Cole, R., Dodsworth, G., Goodsell, S., McCalden, A., Murray, G., Myers, R., Sharples, R., Tandy, J., & Thomas, P. (2008, August). Optical ground support equipment for the alignment of JWST-NIRSpec. Presented at Space Telescopes and Instrumentation 2008: Optical, Infrared, and Millimeter, Marseille, France

The alignment of the JWST NIRSpec spectrograph will use a customised set of optical light sources, imagers and wavefront sensors, which form part of the Optical Ground Support Equipment (OGSE). This has been developed by the Mullard Space Science Lab... Read More about Optical ground support equipment for the alignment of JWST-NIRSpec.

(2008, August). Offspring of SPACE: the spectrograph channel of the ESA Dark Energy Mission EUCLID. Presented at Space Telescopes and Instrumentation 2008: Optical, Infrared, and Millimeter, Marseille, France

The SPACE and DUNE proposals for the ESA Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 have been pre-selected for a Dark Energy Mission. An assessment study was performed in the past few months resulting in a merged mission called EUCLID. The study led to a possible conce...

The theoretical status of B¯ − B-mixing and lifetimes of heavy hadrons (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lenz, A. The theoretical status of B¯ − B-mixing and lifetimes of heavy hadrons

In this talk we review the theoretical status of the lifetime ratios of heavy hadrons and of the B-mixing quantities ΔMs, ΔΓs and φs. While ΔMs and ΔΓs suffer from large uncertainties due to the badly known decay constants, the ratio ΔΓs/ΔMs can be d...
