Impact of Branching on the Solution Behavior and Serum Stability of Starlike Block Copolymers.
2019
The size control of nanomedicines for tumor diagnosis and therapy is of high importance, since it enables or disables deep and sufficient tumor penetration. Amphiphilic star-shaped block copolypept(o)ides offer substantial promise to precisely adjust the hydrophobic core and the hydrophilic corona, independent of each other, and therefore simultaneously control the size dimension in the interesting size range from 10 to 30 nm. To gain access to core-shell structures of such sizes, 3-arm and 6-arm PeptoStars, based on poly(gamma-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-L-glutamate)-b-polysarcosine (pGlu(OtBu)-b-pSar), were prepared via controlled living ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of the corresponding N-…
Measurement of the decay rate and form factor parameter in the decay KL→e+e−γ
1999
Abstract The decay rate of the neutral K meson KL→e+e−γ has been measured with the NA48 detector at the CERN SPS. A total of 6864 events has been observed with an estimated background of 10 events. The branching ratio is Γ(KL→e+e−γ)/Γ(KL→all) = (1.06±0.02stat±0.02sys±0.04calc)×10−5. The parameter α K ∗ describing the relative strength of the two contributing amplitudes to this decay through intermediate pseudoscalar or vector mesons was measured to be α K ∗ =−0.36±0.06stat±0.02sys.

τ→πππντdecays in the resonance effective theory
2004
$\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\ensuremath{\tau}}\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\pi}{\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\tau}}$ decays are analyzed within the framework of the resonance effective theory of QCD. We work out the relevant Lagrangian that describes the axial-vector current hadronization contributing to these processes, in particular the local ${a}_{1}(1260)\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\rho}(770)$-Goldstone interactions. The new coupling constants are constrained by imposing the asymptotic behavior of the corresponding spectral function within QCD. Hence we compare the theoretical framework with the experimental data, obtaining a good quality fit from the ALEPH spect…
Measurement of the Absolute Branching Fraction of Ds+→τ+ντ via τ+→e+νeν¯τ
2021
Using a dataset of 6.32 fb^{-1} of e^{+}e^{-} annihilation data collected with the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between 4178 and 4226 MeV, we have measured the absolute branching fraction of the leptonic decay D_{s}^{+}→τ^{+}ν_{τ} via τ^{+}→e^{+}ν_{e}ν[over ¯]_{τ}, and find B_{D_{s}^{+}→τ^{+}ν_{τ}}=(5.27±0.10±0.12)×10^{-2}, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The precision is improved by a factor of 2 compared to the previous best measurement. Combining with f_{D_{s}^{+}} from lattice quantum chromodynamics calculations or the |V_{cs}| from the CKMfitter group, we extract |V_{cs}|=0.978±0.009±0.012 and f_{D_{s}^{+}}=(251.1±2.4±3.0) MeV, r…
Determination of the form factors for the decayB0→D*−l+νland of the CKM matrix element|Vcb|
2008
We present a combined measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element vertical bar V-cb vertical bar and of the parameters rho(2), R-1(1), and R-2(1), which fully characterize the form factors for the B-0 -> D*(-)center dot(+)nu(center dot) decay in the framework of heavy-quark effective field theory. The results, based on a selected sample of about 52 800 B-0 -> D*(-)center dot(+)nu(center dot) decays, recorded by the BABAR detector, are rho(2)=1.157 +/- 0.094 +/- 0.027, R-1(1)=1.327 +/- 0.131 +/- 0.043, R-2(1)=0.859 +/- 0.077 +/- 0.021, and F(1)vertical bar V-cb vertical bar=(34.7 +/- 0.4 +/- 1.0)x10(-3). The first error is the statistical and the second is the systematic unce…
Experimental study ofψ′decays toK+K−π0andK+K−η
2012
Using (106 +/- 4) x 10(6) psi ' events accumulated with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII e(+)e(-) collider, we present measurements of the branching fractions for psi' decays to K+K- pi(0) and K+K- eta. In these final states, the decay psi' -> K-2(*) (1430)(+) K- + 10(-5), is observed for the first time, and its branching fraction is measured to be (7.12 +/- 0: 62(stat)(-0.61)(+1.13) (syst)) x 10(-5), which indicates a violation of the helicity selection rule in psi' decays. The branching fractions of psi' -> K* (892)(+) K- + c.c., phi eta, and phi pi(0) are also measured. The measurements are used to test the QCD predictions on charmonium decays.
Measurement of the hadronic form factor inD0→K−e+νedecays
2007
We present a preliminary measurement of the q2 dependence of the D0 --> K- e+ nu_e decay rate. This rate is proportional to the hadronic form factor squared, specified by a single parameter. This is either the mass in the simple pole ansatz m_pole = (1.854 +- 0.016 +- 0.020) GeV/c2 or the scale in the modified pole ansatz alpha_pole = 0.43 +- 0.03 +- 0.04. The first error refers to the statistical, the second to the systematic uncertainty.
Search forB0→ϕ(K+π−)decays with largeK+π−invariant mass
2007
Motivated by the polarization anomaly in the B→ (1020)K*(892) decay, we extend our search for other K* final states in the decay B0→ (1020)K*0 with the K*0→K+π- invariant mass above 1.6 GeV. The final states considered include the K*(1680)0, K3*(1780)0, K4*(2045)0, and a Kπ spin-zero nonresonant component. We also search for B0→ D0 decay with the same final state. The analysis is based on a sample of about 384×106 BB pairs recorded with the BABAR detector. We place upper limits on the branching fractions B(B0→ K*(1680)0)<3.5×10-6, B(B0→ K3*(1780)0) <2.7×10-6, B(B0→ K4*(2045)0)<15.3×10-6, and B(B0→ D0)<11.7×10-6 at 90% C.L. The nonresonant contribution is consistent with the measurements in …
Isospin breaking effects in the X(3872) resonance
2009
In this paper we study the effects of isospin breaking in the dynamical generation of the X(3872) state. We also calculate the ratio of the branching fractions of the $X$ decaying into $J/\psi$ with two and three pions, which has been measured experimentally to be close to unity. Together with the X(3872), of positive C-parity, we predict the existence of a negative C-parity state and we comment on which decay channel is more promising to observe this state.
