We estimate discount rates of 555 subjects using a laboratory task and find that these
individual discount rates predict inter-individual variation in field behaviors (eg, exercise, BMI, …

Highly penetrating cosmic ray muons shower the Earth at the rate of 10,000m −2 min −1 at
sea level. In our previous work (Nature 422 (2003) 277; Rev. Sci. Instr. 74(10) (2003) 4294; …

We report an improved measurement of the free neutron lifetime τ n using the UCN τ apparatus
at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. We count a total of approximately 38× 10 6 …

The precise value of the mean neutron lifetime, τ n , plays an important role in nuclear and
particle physics and cosmology. It is used to predict the ratio of protons to helium atoms in the …

Highly penetrating cosmic ray muons constantly shower the earth at a rate of about 1 muon
per cm 2 per minute. We have developed a technique which exploits the multiple Coulomb …

Sickle-cell disease (SCD) and β thalassemia constitute worldwide public health problems.
New therapies, including hydroxyurea, have attempted to augment the synthesis of fetal …

The capability has successfully been developed at the Los Alamos Nuclear Science Center (LANSCE)
to utilize a spatially and temporally prepared 800MeV proton beam to produce …

The mobilization of peripheral blood stem cells was studied in 984 multiple myeloma patients,
including 106 patients aged ≥ 70 years. Increasing age correlated inversely with CD34 + …

Over 120 million vehicles enter the United States each year. Many are capable of transporting
hidden nuclear weapons or nuclear material. Currently deployed X-ray radiography …

Background: The neutron β-decay asymmetry parameter A 0 defines the angular correlation
between the spin of the neutron and the momentum of the emitted electron. Values for A 0 …
