- Neutral B meson oscillations in the B-s(0) - <(B-s(0))over bar>, and B-d(0) - <(B-d(0))over bar> systems were studied using a sample of about 4.0 million hadronic Z decays recorded by the DELPHI detector between 1992 and 2000. Events with a high transverse momentum lepton were removed and a sample of 770 k events with an inclusively reconstructed vertex was selected. The mass difference between the two physical states in the B-d(0) - <(B-d(0))over bar>system was measured to be: Deltam(d) = (0.531 +/- 0.025(stat.) +/- 0.007(syst.))ps(-1). The following limit on the width difference of these states was also obtained: DeltaGamma(Bd)/Gamma(Bd) < 0.18 at 95% CL. As no evidence for B-s(0) -<(B-s(0))over bar> oscillations was found, a limit on the mass difference of the two physical states was given:, Deltam(s) > 5.0 ps(-1) at 95% CL. The corresponding sensitivity of this analysis is equal to 6.6 ps(-1).

Y-chromosomal diversity in Europe is clinal and influenced primarily by geography, rather than by language.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Clinal patterns of autosomal genetic diversity within Europe have been interpreted in previous studies in terms of a Neolithic demic diffusion model for the spread of agriculture; in contrast, studies using mtDNA have traced many founding lineages to the Paleolithic and have not shown strongly clinal variation. We have used 11 human Y-chromosomal biallelic polymorphisms, defining 10 haplogroups, to analyze a sample of 3,616 Y chromosomes belonging to 47 European and circum-European populations. Patterns of geographic differentiation are highly nonrandom, and, when they are assessed using spatial autocorrelation analysis, they show significant clines for five of six haplogroups analyzed. Clines for two haplogroups, representing 45% of the chromosomes, are continentwide and consistent with the demic diffusion hypothesis. Clines for three other haplogroups each have different foci and are more regionally restricted and are likely to reflect distinct population movements, including one from north of the Black Sea. Principal-components analysis suggests that populations are related primarily on the basis of geography, rather than on the basis of linguistic affinity. This is confirmed in Mantel tests, which show a strong and highly significant partial correlation between genetics and geography but a low, nonsignificant partial correlation between genetics and language. Genetic-barrier analysis also indicates the primacy of geography in the shaping of patterns of variation. These patterns retain a strong signal of expansion from the Near East but also suggest that the demographic history of Europe has been complex and influenced by other major population movements, as well as by linguistic and geographic heterogeneities and the effects of drift.

Study of neutron rich carbon and oxygen nuclei up to drip line
- 2004

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In-beam gamma-spectroscopy using fragmentation reactions of radioactive beams have been performed in order to study the structure of excited states in neutron rich oxygen and carbon isotopes. For the produced fragments, gamma-ray energies, intensities and gamma-gamma coincidences have been measured. The experiment was performed at GANIL. New gamma-lines have been identified and placed in level schemes for C17-20. The non observation of any gamma-ray in O-23,O-24 suggests that their first excited states lie above the neutron threshold. These results are discussed in the framework of shell model calculations.

Electronic structure of poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) in the pristine and reduced state
- 2002

In: Journal of Chemical Physics. - : AIP Publishing. - 0021-9606 .- 1089-7690. ; 116:4, s. 1700-1706

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The electronic structure of a polymer of interest in polymer-based light emitting devices, poly(9,9-dioctyl-fluorene), was studied using a combined experimental-theoretical approach. Results were compared with those of equivalent studies of the electronic structure of two related conjugated polymers: poly(p-phenylene) and a latter-type poly (p-phenylene) (LPPP). Finally, it was shown that electrons added to the polymer system lead to the formation of polarons at low doping levels, and bipolarons at high doping levels. The energies of the polaron and bipolaron states were measured directly, and agree with the theoretical modeling of the added electrons.

Electronic structure of pristine and sodium doped poly(p-pyridine)
- 2001
-
In: Journal of Chemical Physics. - : AIP Publishing. - 0021-9606 .- 1089-7690. ; 114:9, s. 4243-4252
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Ultraviolet spectroscopy (UPS) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to study the valence electronic structures of pristine and sodium doped poly (p-pyridine) (PPY). The UPS spectra were analyzed by studying the density-of-valence-states (DOVS) derived from quantum chemical calculations. The electronic band structure of the PPY chains was also theoretically investigated using the valence effective Hamiltonian (VEH) method. The theoretical approach was found to be more accurate in describing the electronic structure of PPY.

High levels of alkali-metal storage in thin films of hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene
- 2002
-
In: Journal of Chemical Physics. - : AIP Publishing. - 0021-9606 .- 1089-7690. ; 116:24, s. 10854-10860

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The results of the doping of molecular solid films of the medium-sized aromatic hydrocarbon hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (HBC), using lithium or sodium atoms were presented. The evolution of the valence band electronic structure was monitored by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and studied by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. Results indicated that n-doping depended on the type of alkali-metal atom employed and on the molecular order of the film. The smaller Li ion was found to have a stronger influence on the electronic structure than Na ions. These results revealed the potential use of the graphene materials in lithium-ion batteries with a high charge-storage capacity.
