Applicability of Waste Engine Oil for the Direct Production of Electricity
2021
New methods for the use of waste products as input for other technologies are a constant subject of research efforts. One such product is waste engine oil. Due to the constantly increasing number of motor vehicles in the world, the recycling or application of engine oils for energy production purposes is currently of considerable importance. This paper contains research regarding the analysis of the electro-oxidation potential of waste engine oil, and thus the possibility of using such oil as a material in fuel cells. The research demonstrates the basic possibility of the electro-oxidation of this oil emulsion on a platinum electrode in an acid electrolyte (aqueous solution of H2SO4). It wa…
DirectX(3872)production ine+e−collisions
2014
Abstract Direct production of the charmonium-like state X ( 3872 ) in e + e − collisions is considered in the framework of the vector meson dominance model. An order-of-magnitude estimate for the width Γ ( X → e + e − ) is found to be ≳0.03 eV. The same approach applied to the χ c 1 charmonium decay predicts the corresponding width of the order 0.1 eV in agreement with earlier estimates. Experimental perspectives for the direct production of the 1 + + charmonia in e + e − collisions are briefly discussed.
Direct production of χc1 at BESIII
2019
The production of resonances in electron-positron annihilation has only been observed for states with quantum numbers JPC = 1−−, while C = +1 resonances appear only among the decay products. The direct production of the 1++ states could happen through two-photon or neutral current. Due to the smallness of the production rate, this process has never been verified experimentally. With the high luminosity and good performance of the BESIII experiment, a search of the direct production of the 1++ state in charmonium region, χc1, is undergoing with dedicated data samples around the χc1 mass. An overview of the data analysis will be presented.
Recoilles and resonant production of double-pion atoms
1992
Abstract We exploit two ideas found successful in the direct production of pionic atoms: recoilless condition and resonance production, in order to produce atomic systems with two bound π − . As an example of recoilless reaction we study π − + A X → p ( A−1 X , π − , π − ) , and as an example of resonant reaction we study π − X → ( π − π − X′) → π − X. In both cases the signals are found to be only a small fraction of the background indicating the big experimental difficulties that one is facing in producing these states.
A combined search for the standard model Higgs boson at s=1.96 TeV
2008
AbstractWe present new results of the search for WH→ℓνbb¯ production in pp¯ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of s=1.96 TeV, based on a dataset with integrated luminosity of 0.44 fb−1. We combine these new results with previously published searches by the D0 collaboration, for WH and ZH production analyzed in the E̸Tbb¯ final state, for ZH (→ℓ+ℓ−bb¯) production, for WH (→WWW) production, and for H (→WW) direct production. No signal-like excess is observed either in the WH analysis or in the combination of all D0 Higgs boson analyses. We set 95% C.L. (expected) upper limits on σ(pp¯→WH)×B(H→bb¯) ranging from 1.6 (2.2) pb to 1.9 (3.3) pb for Higgs boson masses between 105 and 145 GeV, to …
DIRECT PRODUCTION OF PIONIC ATOMS FROM RADIATIVE TRAPPING OF PIONS IN FLIGHT
1992
Abstract The reaction π−A→(πb−A)γ with Tπ=10−30 MeV producing a π− bound in the nucleus is studied to see its viability as an instrument to produce deeply bound pionic atoms in nuclei. We obtain cross sections of the order of tens of μb/ (sr MeV) for the production of the 1s and 2p states of 208Pb and negligible background from radiative pion capture and the other sources. The negligible background expected in the present reaction is unique among all other reactions so far proposed. The cross sections obtained are three orders of magnitude bigger than those in the best electromagnetic reactions previously proposed. The small background, the large cross sections and the present available flu…
Inclusive Production of theX(4140)State inpp¯Collisions at D0
2015
We present a study of the inclusive production of the $X(4140)$ with the decay to the $J/\psi \phi$ final state in hadronic collisions. Based on $10.4~\rm{fb^{-1}}$ of $p \overline p $ collision data collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron collider, we report the first evidence for the prompt production of $X(4140)$ and find the fraction of $X(4140)$ events originating from $b$ hadrons to be $f_b=0.39\pm 0.07 {\rm \thinspace (stat)} \pm 0.10 {\rm \thinspace (syst)} $. The ratio of the non-prompt $X(4140)$ production rate to the $B_s^0$ yield in the same channel is $R=0.19 \pm 0.05 {\rm \thinspace (stat)} \pm 0.07 {\rm \thinspace (syst)}$. The values of the mass $M=4152.5 \pm…
Search for Axionlike Particles Produced in e+e− Collisions at Belle II
2020
We present a search for the direct production of a light pseudoscalar a decaying into two photons with the Belle II detector at the SuperKEKB collider. We search for the process e+e-→γa, a→γγ in the mass range 0.2<ma<9.7 GeV/c2 using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of (445±3) pb-1. Light pseudoscalars interacting predominantly with standard model gauge bosons (so-called axionlike particles or ALPs) are frequently postulated in extensions of the standard model. We find no evidence for ALPs and set 95% confidence level upper limits on the coupling strength gaγγ of ALPs to photons at the level of 10-3 GeV-1. The limits are the most restrictive to date for 0.2<ma<1 GeV/c2.
Search for promptly produced heavy quarkonium states in hadronic Z decays
1996
A search has been made for direct production of heavy quarkonium states in more than 3 million hadronic Z^{0} decays in the 1991-1994 DELPHI data. Prompt J/\psi, \psi(2S) and \Upsilon candidates have been searched for through their leptonic decay modes using criteria based on the kinematics and decay vertex positions. New upper limits are set at the 90 \% confidence level for {Br( Z^0 \rightarrow \left( Q \bar{Q} \right) X ) / Br( Z^0 \rightarrow \mbox{hadrons})} for various strong production mechanisms of J/\psi and \Upsilon; these range down to 0.9 \times 10^{-4}. The limits are set in the presence of a small excess (\sim 1 \% statistical probability of a background fluctuation) in the su…
