Basic properties of the F-type centers in halides, oxides and perovskites

We present a short survey of the optical properties of primary radiation-induced point defects in alkali halides, simple oxides and some ABO3 perovskites. We discuss in details the optical properties of single electron F and F + centers in rock-salt (f.c.c.) alkali halides and oxides and show that the Mollwo–Ivey law well-known for the F-type centers in alkali halides may be extended for other rock-salt structure insulators. We also discuss the major differences in point defect production mechanisms in halides and oxides. We show that the Rabin–Klick diagram may be generalized for a whole family of alkali halides. The F-type center migration and aggregation into metal colloids in alkali hal…

Observation of the suppressed ADS modes B±→[π±K∓π+π−]DK± and B±→[π±K∓π+π−]Dπ±

An analysis of and B-+/- -> DK +/- and B-+/- -> D pi(+/-) decays is presented where the D meson is reconstructed in the four-body final state K-+/-pi(-/+)pi(+)pi(-). Using LHCb data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb(-1), first observations are made of the suppressed ADS modes B-+/- ->[pi K-+/-(-/+)pi(+)pi(-)](D)K-+/- and B +/- -> [pi K-+/-(-/+)pi(+)pi(-)](D)pi(+/-) with a significance of 5.1 sigma and greater than 10 sigma, respectively. Measurements of CP asymmetries and CP-conserving ratios of partial widths from this family of decays are also performed. The magnitude of the ratio between the suppressed and favoured B-+/- -> DK +/- amplitudes is determined to be r(B)(K) …
