- © 2019 Institute of Physics Publishing. All rights reserved. Within the EUROfusion MST1 work package, a series of experiments has been conducted on AUG and TCV devices to disentangle the role of plasma fueling and plasma shape for the onset of small ELM regimes. On both devices, small ELM regimes with high confinement are achieved if and only if two conditions are fulfilled at the same time. Firstly, the plasma density at the separatrix must be large enough (ne,sep/nG ∼ 0.3), leading to a pressure profile flattening at the separatrix, which stabilizes type-I ELMs. Secondly, the magnetic configuration has to be close to a double null (DN), leading to a reduction of the magnetic shear in the extreme vicinity of the separatrix. As a consequence, its stabilizing effect on ballooning modes is weakened.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The spin and parity of the charmed mesons D*s+, D*0 and D*+ are determined for the first time to be JP = 1- with significances greater than 10σ over other hypotheses of 2+ and 3-, using an e+e- collision data sample with an integrated luminosity of 3.19 fb-1 collected by the BESIII detector at a center-of-mass energy of 4.178 GeV. Different spin-parity hypotheses are tested via a helicity amplitude analysis of the processes e+e--→ D*s+ D-s, D*0D0 and D*+D-, with D∗+s → D*+s γ, D∗0 → D0π0 , and D∗+ → D+π0. The results confirm the quark model predictions

Phylogenetic analysis of the non-structural (NS) gene of influenza A viruses isolated from mallards in Northern Europe in 2005

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: Although the important role of the non-structural 1 (NS) gene of influenza A in virulence of the virus is well established, our knowledge about the extent of variation in the NS gene pool of influenza A viruses in their natural reservoirs in Europe is incomplete. In this study we determined the subtypes and prevalence of influenza A viruses present in mallards in Northern Europe and further analysed the NS gene of these isolates in order to obtain a more detailed knowledge about the genetic variation of NS gene of influenza A virus in their natural hosts. Results: A total number of 45 influenza A viruses of different subtypes were studied. Eleven haemagglutinin-and nine neuraminidase subtypes in twelve combinations were found among the isolated viruses. Each NS gene reported here consisted of 890 nucleotides; there were no deletions or insertions. Phylogenetic analysis clearly shows that two distinct gene pools, corresponding to both NS allele A and B, were present at the same time in the same geographic location in the mallard populations in Northern Europe. A comparison of nucleotide sequences of isolated viruses revealed a substantial number of silent mutations, which results in high degree of homology in amino acid sequences. The degree of variation within the alleles is very low. In our study allele A viruses displays a maximum of 5% amino acid divergence while allele B viruses display only 2% amino acid divergence. All the viruses isolated from mallards in Northern Europe possessed the typical avian ESEV amino acid sequence at the C-terminal end of the NSI protein. Conclusion: Our finding indicates the existence of a large reservoir of different influenza A viruses in mallards population in Northern Europe. Although our phylogenetic analysis clearly shows that two distinct gene pools, corresponding to both NS allele A and B, were present in the mallards populations in Northern Europe, allele B viruses appear to be less common in natural host species than allele A, comprising only about 13% of the isolates sequenced in this study.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- By analyzing e(+)e(-) annihilation data with an integrated luminosity of 2.93 fb(-1) collected at the center-of-mass energy root s = 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector, we present the first absolute measurements of the branching fractions of twenty Cabibbo-suppressed hadronic D0(+) decays involving multiple pions. The highest four branching fractions obtained are B(D-0 -> pi(+)pi(-)pi(0)) = (1.343 +/- 0.013(stat) +/- 0.016(syst))%, B(D-0 -> pi(+)pi(-)2 pi(0)) = (1.002 +/- 0.019(stat )+/- 0.024(syst))%, B(D-0 -> 2 pi(+)pi(-)pi(0))=(1.165 +/- 0.021(stat) +/- 0.021(sy)(st))%, and B(D+ -> 2 pi(+)pi(-)pi(0)). (1.074 +/- 0.040(stat) 0.030(syst))%. The CP asymmetries for the six decays with highest signal yields are also determined and found to be compatible with zero.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The first amplitude analysis of the decay D-s(+)-> K- K+ pi(+) pi(0) is presented using the data samples, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6.32 fb(-1), collected with the BESIII detector at e(+)e(-) center-of-mass energies between 4.178 and 4.226 GeV. More than 3000 events selected with a purity of 97.5% are used to perform the amplitude analysis, and nine components are found necessary to describe the data.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- By using 6.32 fb(-1) of data collected with the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between 4.178 and 4.226 GeV, we perform an amplitude analysis of the decay D-s(+) -> K-S(0) pi(+)pi(0) and determine the relative fractions and phase differences of different intermediate processes, which include K-S(0) rho(770)(+), K-S(0)rho(1450)(+), K*(892)(0) pi(+), K* (892)(+) pi(0), and K* (1410)(0) pi(+). With the detection efficiency based on the amplitude analysis results, the absolute branching fraction is measured to be B(D-s(+) -> K-S(0) pi(+) pi(0)) = (5.43 +/- 0.30(stat) +/- 0.15(syst)) x 10(-3).

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Using 6.32 fb−1 of e+e− collision data collected by the BESIII detector at the center-of-mass energies between 4.178 and 4.226 GeV, an amplitude analysis of the D+s → K0SK−π+π+ decays is performed for the first time to determine the intermediate-resonant contributions. The dominant component is the D+s → K∗(892)+¯K∗(892)0 decay with a fraction of (40.6±2.9stat±4.9sys)%. Our results of the amplitude analysis are used to obtain a more precise measurement of the branching fraction of the D+s → K0SK−π+π+ decay, which is determined to be (1.46±0.05stat±0.05sys)%.
