Observation of an Excited $B^{\pm}_c$ Meson State with the ATLAS Detector
2014
A search for excited states of the B±c meson is performed using 4.9 fb-1 of 7 TeV and 19.2 fb-1 of 8 TeV pp collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. A new state is observed through its hadronic transition to the ground state, with the latter detected in the decay B±c→J/ψπ±. The state appears in the m(Bc±π+π-)-m(Bc±)-2m(π±) mass difference distribution with a significance of 5.2 standard deviations. The mass of the observed state is 6842±4±5 MeV, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. The mass and decay of this state are consistent with expectations for the second S-wave state of the B±c meson, B±c(2S).
Search for a fermiophobic Higgs at LEP 2
2001
Higgs bosons predicted by the fermiophobic scenario within Two Higgs Doublets Models were searched for in the data collected by the DELPHI detector at centre-of-mass energies between 189 GeV and 202 GeV, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 380 pb^{-1}. No signal was found and confidence limits were derived in the framework of possible extensions of the Standard Model Higgs sector.

Estimation of Vegetation Structure Parameters From SMAP Radar Intensity Observations
2021
In this article, we present a multipolarimetric estimation approach for two model-based vegetation structure parameters (shape A and orientation distribution ψ of the main canopy elements). The approach is based on a reduced observation set of three incoherent (no phase information) polarimetric backscatter intensities (|S HH | 2 , |S HV | 2 , and |S VV | 2 ) combined with a two-parameter (A P and ψ) discrete scatterer model of vegetation. The objective is to understand whether this confined set of observations contains enough information to estimate the two vegetation structure parameters from the L-band radar signals. In order to disentangle soil and vegetation scattering influences on th…
Influence of the filling factor on the spectral properties of plasmonic crystals
2006
Plasmonics crystals (PCs) comprised of finite-size triangular lattices of gold bumps deposited on a gold thin film are studied by means of a near-field optical microscope. The plasmonic crystals fabricated by electron-beam lithography are illuminated by an incident surface plasmon polariton excited in the Kretschmann-Raether configuration at the gold/air thin-film interface for incident free-space wavelengths in the range $740--820\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{nm}$. Based on the measurement of the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) damping distance in the crystals, the existence of a band gap for an incident SPP traveling along the two symmetry axes $\ensuremath{\Gamma}M$ and $\ensuremath…
The role of the $\Delta(1232)$-resonance in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory
2013
We stress, on theoretical and phenomenological grounds, the importance of the $\Delta(1232)$-resonance in a chiral effective field theory approach applied to the study of $\pi N$ scattering. We show how its inclusion as a dynamical degree of freedom allow us to obtain reliably valuable information from $\pi N$ scattering data.
Parity-violating effects in electroproduction of theΔ(1232)by polarized electrons
1982
Parity-violating effects in the (quasi)elastic scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from spin-\textonehalf{} targets are discussed in the framework of the unified guage theories of weak and electromagnetic interactions. In particular, the $R\ensuremath{-}L$ asymmetry in electroproduction of the $\ensuremath{\Delta}(1232)$ is studied in considerable detail, taking into account the full spin-$\frac{3}{2}$ structure of this resonance. Our results are valid for all values of $E$ and the entire range of ${Q}^{2}$. Numerical predictions are given for the standard Weinberg-Salam model at several energies of the electron beam.
VECTOR-BARYON DYNAMICS IN γN → K0Σ REACTIONS
2014
A coupled channel model for the interaction of vector mesons with baryons is employed in the study of the γp → K0Σ+ reaction around the K*Λ and K*Σ thresholds, where the recent CBELSA/TAPS cross section shows a sudden drop and the differential cross section experiences a transition from a forward-peaked distribution to a flat one. A delicate interference between amplitudes having K*Λ and K*Σ intermediate states is found. The sharp downfall is dictated by the presence of a N* resonance produced by our model, a feature that we have employed to infer its properties. Predictions for the complementary γn → K0Σ0 reaction are also given.

Particle-level acceptance for the high-mass discovery signal regions SR-4b-meff1-A-disc and SR-3b-meff3-A, shown as a function of higgsino mass. The acceptance is defined as the fraction of signal events passing the particle-level event selection that emulates the detector-level selection. The acceptance calculation considers only those signal events where both higgsinos decay to Higgs bosons that subsequently both decay to b-quarks.

Particle-level acceptance for the low-mass discovery signal regions low-SR-MET0-meff440 and low-SR-MET150-meff440, shown as a function of higgsino mass. The acceptance is defined as the fraction of signal events passing the particle-level event selection that emulates the detector-level selection. The acceptance calculation considers only those signal events where both higgsinos decay to Higgs bosons that subsequently both decay to b-quarks.
