Study of the baryonicBdecayB−→Σc++p¯π−π−
2012
We report the measurement of the baryonic B decay B- -> SigmaC++ p- pi- pi-. Using a data sample of 467*10^6 B B-bar pairs collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II storage ring at SLAC, the measured branching fraction is (2.98 +/- 0.16 (stat) +/- 0.15 (syst) +/- 0.77 (LambdaC+))*10^{-4}, where the last error is due to the uncertainty in the branching fraction of the decay LambdaC+ -> p+ K- pi+. The data suggest the existence of resonant subchannels B- -> LambdaC(2595)+ p- pi- and, possibly, B- -> SigmaC++ anti-Delta-- pi-. We see unexplained structures in m(SigmaC++ pi- pi-) at 3.25 GeV/c^2, 3.8 GeV/c^2, and 4.2 GeV/c^2.
First observation of the isospin violating decayJ/ψ→ΛΣ¯0+c.c.
2012
Using a sample of (225.2 +/- 2.8) x 10(6) J/psi events collected with the BESIII detector, we present results of a study of J/psi -> gamma Lambda(Lambda) over bar and report the first observation of the isospin violating decay J/psi -> Lambda(Sigma) over bar (0) + c.c., in which (Sigma) over bar (0) decays to gamma (Lambda) over bar. The measured branching fractions are B(J/psi -> (Lambda) over bar Sigma(0)) = (1.46 +/- 0.11 +/- 0.12) x 10(-5) and B(J/psi -> Lambda(Sigma) over bar (0)) = (1.37 +/- 0.12 +/- 0.11) x 10(-5). We search for Lambda(1520) -> gamma Lambda decay, and find no evident signal, and an upper limit for the product branching fraction B(J/psi -> Lambda(Lambda) over bar (152…

First Observation of theM1Transitionψ(3686)→γηc(2S)
2012
Using a sample of 106×10(6) ψ(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring, we have made the first measurement of the M1 transition between the radially excited charmonium S-wave spin-triplet and the radially excited S-wave spin-singlet states: ψ(3686)→γη(c)(2S). Analyses of the processes ψ(3686)→γη(c)(2S) with η(c)(2S)→K(S)(0)K(±)π(∓) and K(+)K(-)π(0) give an η(c)(2S) signal with a statistical significance of greater than 10 standard deviations under a wide range of assumptions about the signal and background properties. The data are used to obtain measurements of the η(c)(2S) mass (M(η(c)(2S))=3637.6±2.9(stat)±1.6(syst) MeV/c(2)), width (Γ(η(c)(2S))=16.9±6.4(…

Bose-Einstein correlations in W-pair decays with an event-mixing technique
2005
Bose-Einstein correlations in W-pair decays are studied using data collected by the ALEPH detector at LEP at e(+)e(-) centre-of-mass energies from 183 to 209 GeV. The analysis is based on the comparison of WW --> q (q) over barq (q) over bar events to "mixed" events constructed with the hadronic part of WW --> q (q) over bar lv events. The data are in agreement with the hypothesis that Bose-Einstein correlations are present only for pions from the same W decay. The JETSET model with Bose-Einstein correlations between pions from different W bosons is disfavoured. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Observation of a charge delocalization from Se vacancies inBi2Se3: A positron annihilation study of native defects
2016
By means of positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy, we have investigated the native defects present in ${\mathrm{Bi}}_{2}{\mathrm{Se}}_{3}$, which belongs to the family of topological insulators. We experimentally demonstrate that selenium vacancy defects $({\text{V}}_{\text{Se1}})$ are present in ${\mathrm{Bi}}_{2}{\mathrm{Se}}_{3}$ as-grown samples, and that their charge is delocalized as temperature increases. At least from 100 K up to room temperature both ${\text{V}}_{\text{Se1}}^{0}$ and ${\text{V}}_{\text{Se1}}^{+}$ charge states coexist. The observed charge delocalization determines the contribution of ${\text{V}}_{\text{Se1}}$ defects to the $n$-type conductivity of ${\mathrm{…
Positron Annihilation in Steel Samples Deformed by Uniaxial Tension
2008
Angular distributions of the positron annihilation quanta were measured for steel ST2 SAL samples deformed by uniaxial tension up to difierent deformation degrees. The dependences of the S parameter on the relative elongation of the samples are presented. The positron annihilation data for steel are compared with the results obtained previously for polycrystalline iron samples deformed by uniaxial tension up to difierent deformation degrees in the proportionality and limited proportionality regions.
Measurement of the strong coupling constant using τ decays
1993
The strong coupling constant is determined from the leptonic branching ratios, the lifetime, and the invariant mass distribution of the hadronic final state of the tau lepton, using data accumulated at LEP with the ALEPH detector. The strong coupling constant measurement, alpha(s), (m(tau)2) = 0.330 +/-0.046, evolved to the Z mass, yields alpha(s)(M(Z)2) = 0. 1 18 +/- 0.005. The error includes experimental and theoretical uncertainties, the latter evaluated in the framework of the Shifman, Vainshtein and Zakharov (SVZ) approach. The method allows the non-perturbative contribution to the hadronic decay rate to be determined to be 0.3 +/- 0.5% . RI Perrier, Frederic/A-5953-2011; ANTONELLI, AN…
A measurement of the tau lifetime
1993
The tau lepton lifetime is measured using four different methods with the DELPHI detector. Three measurements using one prong decays are combined, accounting for correlations, resulting in tau(tau) = 298 +/- 7 (stat.) +/- 4 (syst.) fs while the decay length distribution of three prong decays gives tau(tau) = 298 +/- 13 (stat.) +/- 5 (syst.) fs. The combined result is tau(tau) = 298 +/- 7 fs. The ratio of the Fermi coupling constant from tau decay relative to that from muon decay is found to be 0.985 +/- 0.013, compatible with lepton universality.
