What is the Charge Radius of the Neutrino? An Investigation in the Background Field Gauge
(Department of Physics, University of NairobiDepartment of Physics, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, 1985)The one loop contributions to the neutrino charge radius are calculated in the background field gauge. The large logarithm term is found to be gauge invariant while other terms prove to be highly gauge dependent. It is ... -
When did the Anthropocene begin? A mid-twentieth century boundary level is stratigraphically optimal
(University of Nairobi, 2015)We evaluate the boundary of the Anthropocene geological time interval as an epoch, since it is useful to have a consistent temporal definition for this increasingly used unit, whether the presently informal term is eventually ... -
