- Electroweak measurements performed with data taken at the electron positron collider LEP at CERN from 1995 to 2000 are reported. The combined data set considered in this report corresponds to a total luminosity of about 3 fb(-1) collected by the four LEP experiments ALEPH, DELPHI, 13 and OPAL, at centre-of-mass energies ranging from 130 GeV to 209 GeV. Combining the published results of the four LEP experiments, the measurements include total and differential cross-sections in photon-pair, fermion-pair and four-fermion production, the latter resulting from both double-resonant WW and ZZ production as well as singly resonant production. Total and differential cross-sections are measured precisely, providing a stringent test of the Standard Model at centre-of-mass energies never explored before in electron positron collisions. Final-state interaction effects in four-fermion production, such as those arising from colour reconnection and Bose Einstein correlations between the two W decay systems arising in WW production, are searched for and upper limits on the strength of possible effects are obtained. The data are used to determine fundamental properties of the W boson and the electroweak theory. Among others, the mass and width of the W boson, m(w) and Gamma(w), the branching fraction of W decays to hadrons, B(W -> had), and the trilinear gauge-boson self-couplings g(1)(Z), K-gamma and lambda(gamma), are determined to be: m(w) = 80.376 +/- 0.033 GeV Gamma(w) = 2.195 +/- 0.083 GeV B(W -> had) = 67.41 +/- 0.27% g(1)(Z) = 0.984(-0.020)(+0.018) K-gamma - 0.982 +/- 0.042 lambda(gamma) = 0.022 +/- 0.019.

- We report on the final electroweak measurements performed with data taken at the Z resonance by the experiments operating at the electron-positron colliders SLC and LEP. The data consist of 17 million Z decays accumulated by the ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL experiments at LEP, and 600 thousand Z decays by the SLID experiment using a polarised beam at SLC. The measurements include cross-sections, forward-backward asymmetries and polarised asymmetries. The mass and width of the Z boson, m(Z) and Gamma(Z), and its couplings to fermions, for example the p parameter and the effective electroweak mixing angle for leptons, are precisely measured: m(Z) = 91.1875 +/- 0.0021 GeV, Gamma(Z) = 2.4952 +/- 0.0023 GeV, rho(l) = 1.0050 +/- 0.0010, sin(2)theta(eff)(lept) = 0.23153 +/- 0.00016. The number of light neutrino species is determined to be 2.9840 +/- 0.0082, in agreement with the three observed generations of fundamental fermions. The results are compared to the predictions of the Standard Model (SM). At the Z-pole, electroweak radiative corrections beyond the running of the QED and QCD coupling constants are observed with a significance of five standard deviations, and in agreement with the Standard Model. Of the many Z-pole measurements, the forward-backward asymmetry in b-quark production shows the largest difference with respect to its SM expectation, at the level of 2.8 standard deviations. Through radiative corrections evaluated in the framework of the Standard Model, the Z-pole data are also used to predict the mass of the top quark, m(t) = 173(+10)(+13) GeV, and the mass of the W boson, m(W) = 80.363 +/- 0.032 GeV. These indirect constraints are compared to the direct measurements, providing a stringent test of the SM. Using in addition the direct measurements of m(t) and m(W), the mass of the as yet unobserved SM Higgs boson is predicted with a relative uncertainty of about 50% and found to be less than 285 GeV at 95% confidence level.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Reaction cross sections for stable nuclei at intermediate energies have been measured precisely and systematically. The data have been found to be reproduced nicely by the optical‐limit approximation of Glauber theory modified to include the nucleon multiple scattering effect and the Fermi‐motion effect. Applying this prescription, the nucleon density distribution of 17Ne has been studied. The surface structure of 8B and 11Be has been also studied using this prescription and hydrogen targets. Using the RIBF that has just started application to studies of exotic nuclei, neutron‐rich Ne isotopes around the Island of Inversion have been investigated through measurements of their interaction cross sections.

Ingår i: Phys. Rev. C. ; 91

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Reaction cross sections of 8Li on stable targets were measured at intermediate energies. With the existing experimental data of interaction cross sections at 790 MeV/nucleon the nucleon density distribution of 8Liwas extracted by the use of the modified Glauber model. Meanwhile, the existing data of 8B have been also reanalyzed. Structures of 8Li and 8B were compared through the density. On the basis of dilute surface densities, the discussion of 7Li(n,γ)8Li and 7Be(p,γ)8B capture reactions was performed within the framework of the direct capture reaction mechanism. The calculations agreed quite well with the experimental data as well as other analyses.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We have precisely measured reaction cross sections (σR) for 8Li using 9Be, 12C, 27Al, and proton targets at intermediate energies by the transmission method. From the energy dependence of the σR including the high energy data, the density distribution of 8Li was deduced through a modified Glauber model. It is shown that 8Li has a shorter tail structure in the density as compared with that of 8B and the matter radius of 8Li is similar to those of the other nonhalo Li isotopes. The result is consistent with the previous experiments that there is a tendency for 8Li to be a skin nucleus.

- The total charge-changing, charge pick-up, and partial charge-changing cross sections of very neutron-rich nuclei (30Ne, 32,33Na) with a proton target have been measured at ~240A MeV for the first time. We introduced the phenomenological correction factor in Glauber-model calculations for the total charge-changing cross sections with the proton target, and applied it to deduce the proton radii of these nuclei. For 30Ne and 32Na, the neutron skin thicknesses of the nuclei were deduced by comparing the proton radii with the matter radii deduced from the interaction cross-section measurements. A significant thick neutron-skin has been observed for the nuclei. We also found that the charge pick-up cross sections are much larger than those in the systematics of stable nuclei.

- Interaction cross sections (σI) for Ne isotopes from the stability line to the vicinity of the neutron dripline have been measured at around 240 MeV/nucleon using BigRIPS at RIBF, RIKEN. The σI for 27–32Ne in every case exceed the systematic mass-number dependence of σI for stable nuclei, which can be explained by considering the nuclear deformation. In particular the σI for 29Ne and 31Ne are significantly greater than those of their neighboring nuclides. These enhancements of σI for 29Ne and 31Ne cannot be explained by a single-particle model calculation under the assumption that the valence neutron of 29Ne (31Ne) occupies the 0d3/2 (0f7/2 ) orbital, as expected from the standard spherical shell ordering. The present data suggest an s dominant halo structure of 29Ne and s- or p-orbital halo in 31Ne.

- The interaction cross-sections (σI) of neutron-rich Na isotopes, 23-35Na, on C target have been measured at 250A MeV using the RI beam factory (RIBF) at RIKEN. Mass dependence of σI for 27-35Na suggests monotonic growth of the skin thickness. The root-mean-square nuclear matter radii (rm) of 23-35Na were deduced from observed σI via a Glauber-type calculation. These rm are in a good agreement with the theoretical prediction by relativistic mean field model (RMF). rm of 33-35Na were determined for the first time.

- Interaction cross sections (σI) for neutron-rich Ne isotopes, 28-32Ne on C target have been measured at 240A MeV using the RIBF at RIKEN. A large enhancement of σI beyond the systematics of stable nuclei have been observed for neutron-rich Ne isotopes, particularly for 31Ne. The possible halo structure for 29,31Ne which would be caused by the lowering of the pf-shell and nuclear deformation of Ne isotopes are discussed by the preliminary analysis.

Energy-dependent charge-changing cross sections and proton distribution of 28Si

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The charge-changing cross sections (σcc) of 28Si on a carbon target were measured with high precision atintermediate energies from 100 to 600 MeV/nucleon. The measured σcc decreases rapidly from low energies upto 200 MeV/nucleon, whereas at higher energies it appears almost constant. The energy dependence of σcc iscompared with a Glauber-type model calculation where only the proton distribution of 28Si is taken into account.A phenomenological correction factor deduced from the present data satisfactorily reproduces the experimentalσcc for other stable nuclei, whose charge distributions were determined by electron scattering and muon captureexperiments.

- The purpose of the study was to determine the enantiomer pharmacokinetics of omeprazole and 5-hydroxy-omeprazole before and after administration of the antimalarial artemisinin to confirm artemisinin's ability to induce CYP2C19. Nine healthy male Vietnamese subjects were given a single 20 mg dose of omeprazole orally 1 week before (day -7) artemisinin administration. Artemisinin was then given orally (500 mg) for 7 days (days 1-7). On days 1 and 7, a single 20 mg dose of omeprazole was coadministered with artemisinin. After a washout period of 6 days, a single 20 mg dose of omeprazole was again administered together with a single 500 mg of artemisinin (day 14). Stereoselective pharmacokinetics of omeprazole and 5-hydroxyomeprazole was determined on days of omeprazole administration. Seven days of artemisinin administration significantly decreased the AUC of both omeprazole enantiomers (day 7), compared with day 1 (P < 0.001). All values were normalized after the washout period. Artemisinin increased the AUC ratio of R-5-hydroxyomeprazole/R-omeprazole significantly (P < 0.01) on day 7. The AUC ratio of omeprazole sulphone/S-omeprazole did not differ between study days. Artemisinin decreased the AUC of S-omeprazole to the same extent as that of R-omeprazole in extensive CYP2C19 metabolizers, suggesting that artemisinin induces a different enzyme in addition to CYP2C19. These results support and strengthen earlier findings that artemisinin induces CYP2C19 as well as at least one enzyme other than CYP3A4.
