Double-Pionic Fusion of Nuclear Systems and the "ABC" Effect : Approaching a Puzzle by Exclusive and Kinematically Complete Measurements
- 2009
-
In: Physical Review Letters. - 0031-9007 .- 1079-7114. ; 102:5, s. 052301-
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The ABC effect-a puzzling low-mass enhancement in the pi pi invariant mass spectrum, first observed by Abashian, Booth, and Crowe-is well known from inclusive measurements of two-pion production in nuclear fusion reactions. Here we report on the first exclusive and kinematically complete measurements of the most basic double-pionic fusion reaction pn -> d pi(0)pi(0) at beam energies of 1.03 and 1.35 GeV. The measurements, which have been carried out at CELSIUS-WASA, reveal the ABC effect to be a (pi pi)(I=L=0) channel phenomenon associated with both a resonancelike energy dependence in the integral cross section and the formation of a Delta Delta system in the intermediate state. A corresponding simple s-channel resonance ansatz provides a surprisingly good description of the data.

Exclusive measurements of pd -> He-3 pi pi : The ABC effect revisited
- 2006
-
In: Physics Letters B. - : Elsevier BV. - 0370-2693 .- 1873-2445. ; 637:4-5, s. 223-228
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Exclusive measurements of the reactions pd -> He-3 pi(+)7 pi(-) and pd -> He-3 pi(0)pi(0) have been carried out at T-p = 0.893 GeV at the CELSIUS storage ring using the WASA detector. The pi(+)pi(-) channel evidences a pronounced enhancement at low invariant pi pi masses-as anticipated from previous inclusive measurements of the ABC effect. This enhancement is seen to be even much larger in the isoscalar pi(0)pi(0) channel. The differential distributions prove this enhancement to be of scalar-isoscalar nature. Delta Delta calculations give a good description of the data, if a boundstate condition is imposed for the intermediate Delta Delta system.

Low-mass pi pi enhancement in baryonic pi pi production : ABC effect revised by exclusive measurements
- 2007
-
In: International Journal of Modern Physics A. - 0217-751X .- 1793-656X. ; 22:2-3, s. 625-628
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The ABC effect - a puzzling threshold enhancement in the ππ invariant mass spectrum of double-pionic fusion to nuclear bound states - has been investigated since 40 years by inclusive measurements without providing a conclusive interpretation. First exclusive measurements to this topic have now been carried out at CELSIUS-WASA. They confirm a huge ππ threshold enhancement, prove it to be of scalar-isoscalar nature, i.e., a σ-channel phenomenon and reveal the theoretically predicted high-mass enhancement in inclusive spectra to be of πππ rather than of ππ nature - falsifying thus corresponding model predictions for the ABC effect. From the kinematically complete data samples we infer that the interaction between the two Δ particles created in this process is of crucial importance.

Measurement of the slope parameter for the η → 3π0 decay in the pp → ppη reaction
- 2007
-
In: Physical Review C. Nuclear Physics. - 0556-2813 .- 1089-490X. ; 76:4, s. 048201-

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The CELSIUS-WASA setup is used to measure the 3π0 decay of η mesons produced in pp interactions with beam kinetic energies of 1.36 and 1.45 GeV. The efficiency-corrected Dalitz plot and density distributions for this decay are shown, together with a fit of the quadratic slope parameter α yielding α = −0.026 ± 0.010(stat) ± 0.010(syst). This value is compared to recent experimental results and theoretical predictions.

Measurement of eta meson decays into lepton-antilepton pairs

-
In: Physical Review D. Particles and fields. - : American Physical Society. - 0556-2821 .- 1089-4918. ; 77:3, s. 032004-

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A search for rare lepton decays of the eta meson was performed using the WASA detector at CELSIUS. Two candidates for double Dalitz decay eta -> e(+)e(-)e(+)e(-) events are reported with a background of 1.3 +/- 0.2 events. This allows to set an upper limit to the branching ratio of 9.7x10(-5) (90% CL). The branching ratio for the decay eta -> e(+)e(-)gamma is determined to (7.8 +/- 0.5(stat)+/- 0.8(syst))x10(-3) in agreement with world average value. An upper limit (90% CL) for the branching ratio for the eta -> e(+)e(-) decay is 2.7x10(-5) and a limit for the sum of the eta ->mu(+)mu(-)mu(+)mu(-) and eta ->pi(+)pi(-)mu(+)mu(-) decays is 3.6x10(-4).

- 2021

In: Ophthalmic Epidemiology. - : Taylor & Francis. - 0928-6586 .- 1744-5086. ; 28:4, s. 301-305

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Purpose To assess the relationship of age-related cataract with all-cause mortality in a Swedish population. Methods Cox regression analyses were performed in a cohort of 746 residents 65-74 years of age, examined in a population survey in the rural district of Tierp, Sweden, 1984-86. To expand the sample size, 1,071 people were recruited by means of glaucoma case records established at the Eye Department in Tierp from 1978 to 2007. In this way, the cohort comprised 1,817 subjects, representing nearly 27,000 person-years at risk. The presence of cataract was determined based on retroillumination with lens opacities evident on slit-lamp examination. Information on deaths was obtained from the local population register. Results By the conclusion of the study in April 2020, 1,633 deaths had been reported. Of these cases, 694 were affected by lens opacities or had history of cataract surgery at baseline. In multivariate analysis, including cataract, age, sex, smoking habits, cancer, diabetes, hypertension and ischemic heart disease, no association was found between cataract and mortality (hazard ratio 0.99; 95% confidence interval 0.90-1.10). Adjustment for participation in the population survey had no effect on the estimate. Conclusion In this long-term follow-up study of subjects 65-74-years-old in Sweden, cataract was not associated with all-cause mortality.

Association between open-angle glaucoma and Alzheimer's disease in Sweden : a long-term population-based follow-up study
- 2021
-

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: Open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are two age-related neurodegenerative diseases of significant public health importance. Epidemiological studies have indicated that there might be an association between the disorders.Methods: Predictors of AD, including mixed and unspecified dementia, were analysed in a cohort of 712 residents aged 65-74 years, examined in a population survey in the rural district of Tierp, Sweden, from 1984 to 1986. To expand the sample size, 821 people were recruited by means of glaucoma case records established at the Eye Department in Tierp from 1978 to 2007. In this way, the cohort comprised 1,533 people, representing more than 21,000 person-years at risk. Medical records were reviewed to identify subjects diagnosed with dementia. Those with a follow-up duration shorter than 2 years were excluded.Results: By the conclusion of the study, in August 2020, 307 subjects had received a diagnosis of AD, including mixed and unspecified dementia. Of these cases, 55 were affected with definite OAG at baseline. Higher age and ischemic heart disease were the only predictors of AD identified. In multivariate analysis, adjusting for age, participation in the population survey and competing events, no association was found between OAG and AD (hazard ratio 1.08; 95% confidence interval: 0.80-1.47).Conclusion: In this long-term follow-up study of subjects aged 65-74 years old in Sweden, OAG was not associated with AD.
