J-PARC Neutrino Beamline Upgrade Technical Design Report
- 2019
-
Rapport (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this document, technical details of the upgrade plan of the J-PARC neutrino beamline for the extension of the T2K experiment are described. T2K has proposed to accumulate data corresponding to 2×1022 protons-on-target in the next decade, aiming at an initial observation of CP violation with 3σ or higher significance in the case of maximal CP violation. Methods to increase the neutrino beam intensity, which are necessary to achieve the proposed data increase, are described.

- We present the development of neutron-tagging techniques in Super-Kamiokande IV using a neural network analysis. The detection efficiency of neutron capture on hydrogen is estimated to be 26%, with a mis-tag rate of 0.016 per neutrino event. The uncertainty of the tagging efficiency is estimated to be 9.0%. Measurement of the tagging efficiency with data from an Americium-Beryllium calibration agrees with this value within 10%. The tagging procedure was performed on 3,244.4 days of SK-IV atmospheric neutrino data, identifying 18,091 neutrons in 26,473 neutrino events. The fitted neutron capture lifetime was measured as 218 +/- 9 mu s.

- © 2019 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd Objective: The ESCAPE multicentre survey was designed to (a) compare the agreement of three relevant aesthetic scoring systems among different centres, and (b) evaluate the reproducibility of each question of the questionnaires. Materials and Methods: EFP centres (n=14) were involved in an e-survey. Forty-two participants (28 teachers, 14 postgraduate students) were asked to score the one-year aesthetic outcomes of photographs using the Before–After Scoring System (BASS), the Pink Esthetic Score (PES) and the Root coverage Esthetic Score (RES). Mean values of kappa statistics performed on each question were provided to resume global agreement of each method. Results: Between teachers, a difference of kappa≥0.41 (p=.01) was found for BASS (75%) and PES (57%). Similarly, RES (84%) and PES (57%) were different (p<.001). No difference was found between BASS (75%) and RES (84%). No difference was found between students, whatever the scoring system. Questions of each scoring system showed differences in their reproducibility. Conclusions: The outcomes of this study indicate that BASS and RES scoring systems are reproducible tools to evaluate aesthetic after root coverage therapies between different centres. Among the various variables, lack of scar, degree of root coverage, colour match and gingival margin that follows the CEJ show the best reliability.

- OBJECTIVES: To histologically evaluate the influence of i) loading and ii) grafting on osseointegration and peri-implant soft tissue healing at immediately placed, self- cutting progressive tissue- level implants (TLX) in a minipig model.MATERIAL & METHODS: TLX implants (n=56) were immediately placed following the extraction of the mandibular first and second premolars, bilaterally, in a total of n=14 minipigs. In each animal, the implant sites were allocated to the following four groups: 1. unloaded with simultaneous grafting using a bovine bone mineral; 2. unloaded without grafting; 3. loaded with simultaneous grafting; 4. loaded without grafting. Histomorphometrical assessments at 4 and 12 weeks (n=7 animals each) included primary (i.e. bone-to-implant contact - BIC) and secondary outcome measures (e.g. first bone-to-implant contact - fBIC, junctional epithelium length- JE, connective tissue contact length - CTC, biological width - BW = JE + CTC).RESULTS: At 4 weeks, mean BIC values ranged from 74.5 ± 11.6% in group 2 to 83.8 ± 13.3% in group 1, and, at 12 weeks, from 75.5% ± 7.9% in group 2 to 79.9 ± 8.6% in group 1, respectively. Multivariate linear mixed regression did not reveal any associations between BIC and implant loading or grafting at 4 and 12 weeks. At 12 weeks, significantly higher fBIC values were noted in group 2 when compared with group 1. All groups showed comparable JE, CTC and BW values.CONCLUSIONS: Implant loading and grafting had no major effects on osseointegration and peri-implant soft tissue healing at TLX implants.
