Considerable political and media attention has focused on the phenomenon of ‘celebrity politician’. As this article illustrates, there are two main variants phenomenon. The first is elected politician or candidate who uses elements ‘celebrityhood’ to establish their claim represent a group cause. second celebrity—the star popular culture—who popularity speak for opinion. Both examples have been seen by critics debase liberal democratic representation. This challenges critique argues that...
Within democratic theory, the deliberative variant has assumed pre-eminence. It represents for many ideal of democracy, and in pursuit this ideal, online discussion forums have been proposed as solutions to practical limits mass deliberation. Critics pointed evidence which suggests that tended undermine This article argues claim, generates a stand-off between two camps, misses key issue: role played by design facilitating or thwarting political choices are made both about format operation...
SuperCDMS SNOLAB will be a next-generation experiment aimed at directly detecting low-mass (< 10 GeV/c$^2$) particles that may constitute dark matter by using cryogenic detectors of two types (HV and iZIP) target materials (germanium silicon). The is being designed with an initial sensitivity to nuclear recoil cross sections ~ 1 x 10$^{-43}$ cm$^2$ for particle mass GeV/c$^2$, capacity continue exploration both smaller masses better sensitivities. phonon the HV sufficient detect recoils from...
We present the first limits on inelastic electron-scattering dark matter and photon absorption using a prototype SuperCDMS detector having charge resolution of 0.1 electron-hole pairs (CDMS HVeV, 0.93 g CDMS high-voltage device). These electron-recoil significantly improve experimental constraints particles with masses as low 1 MeV/c^{2}. demonstrate sensitivity to photons competitive other leading approaches but substantially less exposure (0.49 d). results scientific potential...
The SuperCDMS experiment is designed to directly detect weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) that may constitute the dark matter in our Galaxy. During its operation at Soudan Underground Laboratory, germanium detectors were run CDMSlite mode gather data sets with sensitivity specifically for WIMPs masses ${<}$10 GeV/$c^2$. In this mode, a higher detector-bias voltage applied amplify phonon signals produced by drifting charges. This paper presents studies of experimental noise and...
This article presents an analysis and the resulting limits on light dark matter inelastically scattering off of electrons, photon axion-like particle absorption, using a second-generation SuperCDMS high-voltage eV-resolution detector. The 0.93 gram Si detector achieved 3 eV phonon energy resolution; for bias 100 V, this corresponds to charge resolution 3% single electron-hole pair. spectrum is reported from blind with 1.2 gram-days exposure acquired in above-ground laboratory. With carrier...

This article asks what it means to take celebrity politics seriously. It does so from three perspectives. begins by looking at the case of New Labour and role that played in party political communication government policy-making. places both context Labour's cultural policy more broadly. leads a second perspective, which focus is upon how might be seen within social change generally. A contrast drawn between ‘late modernity’ approach adopted David Marsh his colleagues, media-oriented Aeron...
We report the result of a blinded search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) using majority SuperCDMS Soudan dataset. With an exposure 1690 kg days, single candidate event is observed, consistent with expected backgrounds. This analysis (combined previous Ge results) sets upper limit on spin-independent WIMP--nucleon cross section $1.4 \times 10^{-44}$ ($1.0 10^{-44}$) cm$^2$ at 46 GeV/$c^2$. These results set strongest limits WIMP--germanium-nucleus interactions masses $>$12
The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search low ionization threshold experiment (CDMSlite) searches for interactions between dark matter particles and germanium nuclei in cryogenic detectors. has achieved a energy with improved sensitivity to low-mass (<10 GeV/c$^2$) particles. We present an analysis of the final CDMSlite data set, taken different detector than was used two previous sets. This includes "salting" method protect against bias, noise discrimination, background modeling, use profile...
It is widely assumed that Donald Trump a ‘celebrity politician’ and he has cashed in his success on the reality show The Apprentice to secure political credibility attention. In this respect, fits what Matthew Wood et al. have labelled ‘superstar celebrity politician’. This characterisation latest number of refinements definition understanding politician. While helpful move, I want suggest it might overlook one key dimension phenomenon. Definitions politician tend focus source their...
We present an analysis of electron recoils in cryogenic germanium detectors operated during the SuperCDMS Soudan experiment. The data are used to set new constraints on axioelectric coupling axionlike particles and kinetic mixing parameter dark photons, assuming respective species constitutes all galactic matter. This study covers mass range from $40\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{eV}/{c}^{2}$ $500\text{ }\mathrm{keV}/{c}^{2}$ for both candidates, excluding previously untested space masses below...

The interpretation that the coincident discharge of three or more G-M counters in line represents passage a single ionizing particle through and any intervening material has been checked by two methods: (1) A vertical cloud chamber between central lower triple-counter telescope controlling shown 90 percent coincidences electron directed even when lead up to 45 cm thickness is placed upper counters. Soft hard rays associated with are rare. (2) Four so spaced could be introduced them...
Abstract Popular music has a long and varied association with politics. It provided the soundtrack to political protest been object of censorship; politicians have courted pop stars — like Bono U2 acted as politicians. But although these more familiar aspects pop's connections politics noted in passing, they not received great deal academic attention, there are other relationship state's role sponsor popular music, for instance which largely ignored. This article explores various dimensions...
