Potential of crop mixtures to reduce pesticide use in France. A data analysis

Over the last 50 years, agricultural intensification has led to simplified agricultural systemshighly dependent on fertilisers and pesticides, causing biodiversity loss, changes in the balanceof nutrients, water and soil contamination. The total amount of pesticides applied each yearin France makes it the main consumer of plant protection products in Europe, and arable cropsare currently the most pesticide-consuming production systems. Reducing pesticide use inarable crops is thus a major challenge. There is now evidence that crop diversification in time,with more diversified rotations, and in space, through crop mixtures, can help restoreecosystem services and represent a potential key lev…

Search for an excess of events with an identical flavour lepton pair and significant missing transverse momentum in root s=7 TeV proton-proton collisions with the ATLAS detector

Results are presented of a search for supersymmetric particles decaying into final states with significant missing transverse momentum and exactly two identical flavour leptons (e or mu) of opposite charge in sqrt{s}=7 TeV collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. This channel is particularly sensitive to supersymmetric particle cascade decays producing flavour correlated lepton pairs. Flavour uncorrelated backgrounds are subtracted using a sample of opposite flavour lepton pair events. Observation of an excess beyond Standard Model expectations following this subtraction procedure would offer one of the best routes to measuring the masses of supersymmetric particles. In a data sample corres…
