This report presents results of the indirect multivariate "measurements" of model parameters in a task of experimental data description by analytical models with "moderate" nonlinearity. In our "measurements" we follow the recommendations of the GUM-S1 and GUM-52 documents in places where they are appropriate.
HIGH-ENERGY COLLIDER PARAMETERS:e + e - Colliders(I)Updated in September 2013 with numbers received from representatives of the colliders(contact J.Beringer,LBNL).The table shows parameter values as achieved by July 1,2013.Quantities are,where appropriate,r.m.s.;unless noted otherwise,energies refer to beam energy;H and V indicate horizontal and vertical directions;s.c.stands for superconducting.Parameters for the defunct SPEAR,DORIS,PETRA,PEP,TRISTAN,and VEPP-2M colliders may be found in our 1996 edition(Phys.Rev.D54,1 July 1996,Part I).
Revised August 2013 by S.Roesler and M.Silari(CERN).35.1.Definitions[1,2]It would be desirable if legal protection limits could be expressed in directly measurable physical quantities.However,this does not allow to quantify biological effects of the exposure of the human body to ionizing radiation.For this reason,protection limits are expressed in terms of so-called protection quantities which,although calculable,are not measurable.Protection quantities quantify the extent of exposure of the human body to ionizing radiation from both whole and partial body external irradiation and from intakes of radionuclides.In order to demonstrate compliance with dose limits,so-called operational quantities are typically used which aim at providing
Revised August 2013 by M.J.Syphers(MSU)and F.Zimmermann(CERN).29.1.Luminosity This article provides background for the High-Energy Collider Parameter Tables that follow.The number of events,N exp is the product of the cross section of interest,σ exp ,and the time integral
Revised September 2013 by K.A.Olive(University of Minnesota)and J.A.Peacock(University of Edinburgh).22.1.Introduction to Standard Big-Bang Model The observed expansion of the Universe[1-3]is a natural(almost inevitable)result of any homogeneous and isotropic cosmological model based on general relativity.However,by itself,the Hubble expansion does not provide sufficient evidence for what we generally refer to as the Big-Bang model of cosmology.While general relativity is in principle capable of describing the cosmology of any given distribution of matter,it is extremely fortunate that our Universe appears to be homogeneous and isotropic on large scales.Together,homogeneity and isotropy allow us to extend the Copernican Principle to the Cosmological Principle,stating that all spatial positions in the
The Review summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 3,283 new measurements from 899 Japers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons and the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons, and baryons. We summarize searches for hypothetical particles such as heavy neutrinos, supersymmetric and technicolor particles, axions, dark photons, etc. All the particle properties and search limits are listed in Summary Tables. We also give numerous tables, figures, formulae, and reviews of topics such as Supersymmetry, Extra Dimensions, Particle Detectors, Probability, and Statistics. Among the 112 reviews are many that are new or heavily revised including those on: Dark Energy, Higgs Boson Physics, Electroweak Model, Neutrino Cross Section Measurements, Monte Carlo Neutrino Generators, Top Quark, Dark Matter, Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking, Accelerator Physics of Colliders, High-Energy Collider Parameters, Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, Astrophysical Constants and Cosmological Parameters.

This biennial Review summarizes much of particle physics. Using data from previous editions, plus 2658 new measurements from 644 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons, leptons, quarks, mesons, and baryons. We summarize searches for hypothetical particles such as Higgs bosons, heavy neutrinos, and supersymmetric particles. All the particle properties and search limits are listed in Summary Tables. We also give numerous tables, figures, formulae, and reviews of topics such as the Standard Model, particle detectors, probability, and statistics. Among the 112 reviews are many that are new or heavily revised including those on Heavy-Quark and Soft-Collinear Effective Theory, Neutrino Cross Section Measurements, Monte Carlo Event Generators, Lattice QCD, Heavy Quarkonium Spectroscopy, Top Quark, Dark Matter, V-cb & V-ub, Quantum Chromodynamics, High-Energy Collider Parameters, Astrophysical Constants, Cosmological Parameters, and Dark Matter.A booklet is available containing the Summary Tables and abbreviated versions of some of the other sections of this full Review. All tables, listings, and reviews (and errata) are also available on the Particle Data Group website: http://pdg.lbl.gov.
