- Fiducial cross-sections for [Formula: see text] production with one or two additional b-jets are reported, using an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb[Formula: see text] of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider, collected with the ATLAS detector. The cross-section times branching ratio for [Formula: see text] events with at least one additional b-jet is measured to be 950 [Formula: see text] 70 (stat.) [Formula: see text] (syst.) fb in the lepton-plus-jets channel and 50 [Formula: see text] 10 (stat.) [Formula: see text] (syst.) fb in the [Formula: see text] channel. The cross-section times branching ratio for events with at least two additional b-jets is measured to be 19.3 [Formula: see text] 3.5 (stat.) [Formula: see text] 5.7 (syst.) fb in the dilepton channel ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and ee) using a method based on tight selection criteria, and 13.5 [Formula: see text] 3.3 (stat.) [Formula: see text] 3.6 (syst.) fb using a looser selection that allows the background normalisation to be extracted from data. The latter method also measures a value of 1.30 [Formula: see text] 0.33 (stat.) [Formula: see text] 0.28 (syst.)% for the ratio of [Formula: see text] production with two additional b-jets to [Formula: see text] production with any two additional jets. All measurements are in good agreement with recent theory predictions.

Searches for scalar leptoquarks in pp collisions at [Formula: see text] = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector.
- 2016

In: European Physical Journal C. Particles and Fields. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1434-6044. ; 76

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Searches for pair-produced scalar leptoquarks are performed using 20 fb[Formula: see text] of proton-proton collision data provided by the LHC and recorded by the ATLAS detector at [Formula: see text] TeV. Events with two electrons (muons) and two or more jets in the final state are used to search for first (second)-generation leptoquarks. The results from two previously published ATLAS analyses are interpreted in terms of third-generation leptoquarks decaying to [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] final states. No statistically significant excess above the Standard Model expectation is observed in any channel and scalar leptoquarks are excluded at 95 % CL with masses up to [Formula: see text] 1050 GeV for first-generation leptoquarks, [Formula: see text] 1000 GeV for second-generation leptoquarks, [Formula: see text] 625 GeV for third-generation leptoquarks in the [Formula: see text] channel, and 200 [Formula: see text] 640 GeV in the [Formula: see text] channel.

Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy
- 2012
-
In: Autophagy. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1554-8635 .- 1554-8627. ; 8:4, s. 445-544

Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In 2008 we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy. Since then, research on this topic has continued to accelerate, and many new scientists have entered the field. Our knowledge base and relevant new technologies have also been expanding. Accordingly, it is important to update these guidelines for monitoring autophagy in different organisms. Various reviews have described the range of assays that have been used for this purpose. Nevertheless, there continues to be confusion regarding acceptable methods to measure autophagy, especially in multicellular eukaryotes. A key point that needs to be emphasized is that there is a difference between measurements that monitor the numbers or volume of autophagic elements (e.g., autophagosomes or autolysosomes) at any stage of the autophagic process vs. those that measure flux through the autophagy pathway (i.e., the complete process); thus, a block in macroautophagy that results in autophagosome accumulation needs to be differentiated from stimuli that result in increased autophagic activity, defined as increased autophagy induction coupled with increased delivery to, and degradation within, lysosomes (in most higher eukaryotes and some protists such as Dictyostelium) or the vacuole (in plants and fungi). In other words, it is especially important that investigators new to the field understand that the appearance of more autophagosomes does not necessarily equate with more autophagy. In fact, in many cases, autophagosomes accumulate because of a block in trafficking to lysosomes without a concomitant change in autophagosome biogenesis, whereas an increase in autolysosomes may reflect a reduction in degradative activity. Here, we present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macroautophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes. These guidelines are not meant to be a formulaic set of rules, because the appropriate assays depend in part on the question being asked and the system being used. In addition, we emphasize that no individual assay is guaranteed to be the most appropriate one in every situation, and we strongly recommend the use of multiple assays to monitor autophagy. In these guidelines, we consider these various methods of assessing autophagy and what information can, or cannot, be obtained from them. Finally, by discussing the merits and limits of particular autophagy assays, we hope to encourage technical innovation in the field.

Genetic association study of QT interval highlights role for calcium signaling pathways in myocardial repolarization
- 2014
-
In: Nature Genetics. - : Nature Publishing Group. - 1061-4036 .- 1546-1718. ; 46:8, s. 826-836

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The QT interval, an electrocardiographic measure reflecting myocardial repolarization, is a heritable trait. QT prolongation is a risk factor for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD) and could indicate the presence of the potentially lethal mendelian long-QT syndrome (LQTS). Using a genome-wide association and replication study in up to 100,000 individuals, we identified 35 common variant loci associated with QT interval that collectively explain ∼ 8-10% of QT-interval variation and highlight the importance of calcium regulation in myocardial repolarization. Rare variant analysis of 6 new QT interval-associated loci in 298 unrelated probands with LQTS identified coding variants not found in controls but of uncertain causality and therefore requiring validation. Several newly identified loci encode proteins that physically interact with other recognized repolarization proteins. Our integration of common variant association, expression and orthogonal protein-protein interaction screens provides new insights into cardiac electrophysiology and identifies new candidate genes for ventricular arrhythmias, LQTS and SCD. © 2014 Nature America, Inc.

Genetic loci associated with heart rate variability and their effects on cardiac disease risk
- 2017
-
In: Nature Communications. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 2041-1723. ; 8
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Reduced cardiac vagal control reflected in low heart rate variability (HRV) is associated with greater risks for cardiac morbidity and mortality. In two-stage meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies for three HRV traits in up to 53,174 individuals of European ancestry, we detect 17 genome-wide significant SNPs in eight loci. HRV SNPs tag non-synonymous SNPs (in NDUFA11 and KIAA1755), expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) (influencing GNG11, RGS6 and NEO1), or are located in genes preferentially expressed in the sinoatrial node (GNG11, RGS6 and HCN4). Genetic risk scores account for 0.9 to 2.6% of the HRV variance. Significant genetic correlation is found for HRV with heart rate (-0.74 < r(g) < -0.55) and blood pressure (-0.35 < r(g) < -0.20). These findings provide clinically relevant biological insight into heritable variation in vagal heart rhythm regulation, with a key role for genetic variants (GNG11, RGS6) that influence G-protein heterotrimer action in GIRK-channel induced pacemaker membrane hyperpolarization.

Collaborative meta-analysis finds no evidence of a strong interaction between stress and 5-HTTLPR genotype contributing to the development of depression
- 2018
-
In: Molecular Psychiatry. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1359-4184 .- 1476-5578. ; 23:1, s. 133-142
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The hypothesis that the S allele of the 5-HTTLPR serotonin transporter promoter region is associated with increased risk of depression, but only in individuals exposed to stressful situations, has generated much interest, research and controversy since first proposed in 2003. Multiple meta-analyses combining results from heterogeneous analyses have not settled the issue. To determine the magnitude of the interaction and the conditions under which it might be observed, we performed new analyses on 31 data sets containing 38 802 European ancestry subjects genotyped for 5-HTTLPR and assessed for depression and childhood maltreatment or other stressful life events, and meta-analysed the results. Analyses targeted two stressors (narrow, broad) and two depression outcomes (current, lifetime). All groups that published on this topic prior to the initiation of our study and met the assessment and sample size criteria were invited to participate. Additional groups, identified by consortium members or self-identified in response to our protocol (published prior to the start of analysis) with qualifying unpublished data, were also invited to participate. A uniform data analysis script implementing the protocol was executed by each of the consortium members. Our findings do not support the interaction hypothesis. We found no subgroups or variable definitions for which an interaction between stress and 5-HTTLPR genotype was statistically significant. In contrast, our findings for the main effects of life stressors (strong risk factor) and 5-HTTLPR genotype (no impact on risk) are strikingly consistent across our contributing studies, the original study reporting the interaction and subsequent meta-analyses. Our conclusion is that if an interaction exists in which the S allele of 5-HTTLPR increases risk of depression only in stressed individuals, then it is not broadly generalisable, but must be of modest effect size and only observable in limited situations.

Genome-wide association study of intracranial aneurysms identifies 17 risk loci and genetic overlap with clinical risk factors

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Rupture of an intracranial aneurysm leads to subarachnoid hemorrhage, a severe type of stroke. To discover new risk loci and the genetic architecture of intracranial aneurysms, we performed a cross-ancestry, genome-wide association study in 10,754 cases and 306,882 controls of European and East Asian ancestry. We discovered 17 risk loci, 11 of which are new. We reveal a polygenic architecture and explain over half of the disease heritability. We show a high genetic correlation between ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms. We also find a suggestive role for endothelial cells by using gene mapping and heritability enrichment. Drug-target enrichment shows pleiotropy between intracranial aneurysms and antiepileptic and sex hormone drugs, providing insights into intracranial aneurysm pathophysiology. Finally, genetic risks for smoking and high blood pressure, the two main clinical risk factors, play important roles in intracranial aneurysm risk, and drive most of the genetic correlation between intracranial aneurysms and other cerebrovascular traits. Cross-ancestry genome-wide association analyses in individuals of European and East Asian ancestry identify 11 new risk loci for intracranial aneurysms and highlight a polygenic architecture explaining a substantial fraction of disease heritability.

Velocity-resolved Reverberation Mapping of Five Bright Seyfert 1 Galaxies
- 2018
-
In: Astrophysical Journal. - : American Astronomical Society. - 0004-637X .- 1538-4357. ; 866:2
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We present the first results from a reverberation-mapping campaign undertaken during the first half of 2012, with additional data on one active galactic nucleus (AGN) (NGC 3227) from a 2014 campaign. Our main goals are (1) to determine the black hole masses from continuum-H beta reverberation signatures, and (2) to look for velocity-dependent time delays that might be indicators of the gross kinematics of the broad-line region. We successfully measure H beta time delays and black hole masses for five AGNs, four of which have previous reverberation mass measurements. The values measured here are in agreement with earlier estimates, though there is some intrinsic scatter beyond the formal measurement errors. We observe velocity-dependent H beta lags in each case, and find that the patterns have changed in the intervening five years for three AGNs that were also observed in 2007.

In: European Journal of Neurology. - : Wiley. - 1351-5101 .- 1468-1331. ; 20:7, s. 1043-52

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: This study determined the correlation between uptake of the amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agent [(18) F]flutemetamol and amyloid-β measured by immunohistochemical and histochemical staining in a frontal cortical biopsy.METHODS: Fifteen patients with possible normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) and previous brain biopsy obtained during intracranial pressure monitoring underwent [18F]flutemetamol PET. Seven of these patients also underwent [11C] Pittsburgh compound B (PiB) PET. [18F]Flutemetamol and [11C]PiB uptake was quantified using standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) with the cerebellar cortex as a reference region. Tissue amyloid-β was evaluated using the monoclonal antibody 4G8, Thioflavin-S and Bielschowsky silver stain.RESULTS: [18F]Flutemetamol and [11C]PiB SUVRs correlated with biopsy specimen amyloid-β levels contralateral (r = 0.86, P < 0.0001; r = 0.96, P = 0.0008) and ipsilateral (r = 0.82, P = 0.0002; r = 0.87, P = 0.01) to the biopsy site. Association between cortical composite [(18) F]flutemetamol SUVRs and [11C]PiB SUVRs was highly significant (r = 0.97, P = 0.0003).CONCLUSIONS: [18F]Flutemetamol detects brain amyloid-β in vivo with moderate to high sensitivity and high specificity. This agent, therefore, represents a valuable new tool to study and verify the presence of amyloid-β pathology, both in patients with possible NPH and among the wider population.

Using supply chain data to monitor zero deforestation commitments: an assessment of progress in the Brazilian soy sector
- 2020
-
In: Environmental Research Letters. - : IOP Publishing. - 1748-9326 .- 1748-9318. ; 15:3
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Zero deforestation commitments (ZDCs) are voluntary initiatives where companies or countries pledge to eliminate deforestation from their supply chains. These commitments offer much promise for sustainable commodity production, but are undermined by a lack of transparency about their coverage and impacts. Here, using state-of-the-art supply chain data, we introduce an approach to evaluate the impact of ZDCs, linking traders and international markets to commodity-associated deforestation in the sub-national jurisdictions from which they source. We focus on the Brazilian soy sector, where we find that ZDC coverage is increasing, but under-represents the Cerrado biome where most soy-associated deforestation currently takes place. Though soy-associated deforestation declined in the Amazon after the introduction of the Soy Moratorium, we observe no change in the exposure of companies or countries adopting ZDCs to soy-associated deforestation in the Cerrado. We further assess the formulation and implementation of these ZDCs and identify several systematic weaknesses that must be addressed to increase the likelihood that they achieve meaningful reductions in deforestation in future. As the 2020 deadline for several of these commitments approaches, our approach can provide independent monitoring of progress toward the goal of ending commodity-associated deforestation.

International consensus guidelines for scoring the histopathological growth patterns of liver metastasis
- 2017
-
In: British Journal of Cancer. - : NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP. - 0007-0920 .- 1532-1827. ; 117:10, s. 1427-1441
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: Liver metastases present with distinct histopathological growth patterns (HGPs), including the desmoplastic, pushing and replacement HGPs and two rarer HGPs. The HGPs are defined owing to the distinct interface between the cancer cells and the adjacent normal liver parenchyma that is present in each pattern and can be scored from standard haematoxylin-and-eosin-stained (H&E) tissue sections. The current study provides consensus guidelines for scoring these HGPs.Methods: Guidelines for defining the HGPs were established by a large international team. To assess the validity of these guidelines, 12 independent observers scored a set of 159 liver metastases and interobserver variability was measured. In an independent cohort of 374 patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRCLM), the impact of HGPs on overall survival after hepatectomy was determined.Results: Good-to-excellent correlations (intraclass correlation coefficient >0.5) with the gold standard were obtained for the assessment of the replacement HGP and desmoplastic HGP. Overall survival was significantly superior in the desmoplastic HGP subgroup compared with the replacement or pushing HGP subgroup (P=0.006).Conclusions: The current guidelines allow for reproducible determination of liver metastasis HGPs. As HGPs impact overall survival after surgery for CRCLM, they may serve as a novel biomarker for individualised therapies.

- Using 2.93 fb−1 of e+e− collision data collected with the BESIII detector at the center-of-mass energy 3.773 GeV, we perform the first amplitude analysis of the decay D+ → π+π0π0 and determine the relative magnitudes and phases of different intermediate processes. The absolute branching fraction of D+ → π+π0π0 is measured to be (2.888 ± 0.058stat. ± 0.069syst.)%. The dominant intermediate processes are D+ → a1(1260)+(→ ρ+π0) and D+ → *0ρ+, with branching fractions of (8.66 ± 1.04stat. ± 1.39syst.) × 10−3 and (9.70 ± 0.81stat. ± 0.53syst.) × 10−3, respectively.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The energy-dependent cross section for e+e- → ηψ(2S) is measured at 18 center of mass energies from 4.288 to 4.951 GeV using the BESIII detector. Using the same data samples, we also perform the first search for the reaction e+e- → η(X) over tilde(3872), but no evidence is found for the (X) over tilde(3872) in the π+π- J/ψ. mass distribution. At each of the 18 center of mass energies, upper limits at the 90% confidence level on the cross section for e+e- → ηψ(2S) and on the product of the e+e- → eta(X) over tilde(3872) cross section with the branching fraction of (X) over tilde(3872) → π+π-J/ψ are reported.

- Based on 22.7 fb-1 of e+e- annihilation data collected at 33 different center-of-mass energies between 3.7730 and 4.7008 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, Born cross sections of the two processes e+e- & RARR; & phi;K+K- and e+e- & RARR; & phi;K0SK0S are measured for the first time. No indication of resonant production through an intermediate vector state V is observed, and the upper limits on the product of the electronic width & UGamma;e+e- and the branching fraction Br(V & RARR; & phi;K over bar K) of the processes e+e- & RARR; V & RARR; & phi;K+K- and e+e- & RARR; V & RARR; & phi;K0SK0S at the 90% confidence level are obtained for a large parameter space in resonance masses and widths. For the current world average mass and width of the & psi;(4230) of m = 4.2187 GeV=c2 and & UGamma; = 44 MeV, we set upper limits on the & phi;K+K- and & phi;K0SK0S final states of 1.75 and 0.47 eV at the 90% confidence level, respectively.

- 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.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A narrow structure in the p¯Λ system near the mass threshold, named as X(2085), is observed in the process e+e−→pK−¯Λ with a statistical significance greater than 20σ. Its spin and parity are determined for the first time to be JP=1+ in an amplitude analysis, with a statistical significance greater than 5σ over other quantum numbers (0−,1− and 2+). The pole positions of X(2085) are measured to be Mpole=(2084+4−2±9) MeV and Γpole=(58+4−3±25) MeV, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones are systematic. The analysis is based on the study of the process e+e−→pK−¯Λ and uses the data samples collected with the BESIII detector at the center-of-mass energies √s=4.008, 4.178, 4.226, 4.258, 4.416, and 4.682 GeV with a total integrated luminosity of 8.35 fb−1.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Based on data samples collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, the process e+e- → Σ+Σ− (over bar) is studied at center -of -mass energies √s = 2.3960, 2.6454, and 2.9000 GeV. Using a fully differential angular description of the final state particles, both the relative magnitude and phase information of the Σ+ electromagnetic form factors in the timelike region are extracted. The relative phase between the electric and magnetic form factors is determined to be sin ΔΦ = -0.67 ± 0.29(stat) ± 0.18(syst) at √s = 2.3960 GeV, AO = 55° ± 19°(stat) ± 14°(syst) at √s = 2.6454 GeV, and 78° ± 22°(stat) ± 9°(syst) at √s = 2.9000 GeV. For the first time, the phase of the hyperon electromagnetic form factors is explored in a wide range of four -momentum transfer. The evolution of the phase along with fourmomentum transfer is an important input for understanding its asymptotic behavior and the dynamics of baryons.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The decay eta(c)(2S) -> pi(+)pi(-)eta is searched for through the radiative transition psi(3686) -> gamma eta(c)(2S) using 448 million psi(3686) events accumulated at the BESIII detector. The first evidence of eta(c)(2S) -> pi(+)pi(-)eta is found with a statistical significance of 3.5 sigma. The product of the branching fractions of psi(3686) -> gamma eta(c)(2S) and eta(c)(2S) -> pi(+)pi(-)eta is measured to be Br(psi(3686) -> gamma eta(c)(2S)) x Br(eta(c)(2S) -> pi(+)pi(-)eta) = (2.97 +/- 0.81 +/- 0.26) x 10(-6), where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second one is systematic. The branching fraction of the decay eta(c)(2S) -> pi(+)pi(-)eta is determined to be Br(eta(c)(2S) -> pi(+)pi(-)eta) = (42.4 +/- 11.6 +/- 3.8 +/- 30.3) x 10(-4), where the third uncertainty is transferred from the uncertainty of the branching fraction of psi(3686) -> gamma eta(c)(2S).

-
In: Physical Review D. - : American Physical Society (APS). - 2470-0010 .- 2470-0029. ; 107:7
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The first direct measurement of the absolute branching fraction of Sigma(+) -> Lambda e(+)nu(e) is reported based on an e(+) e(-) annihilation sample of (10087 +/- 44) x 10(6) J/psi events collected with the BESIII detector at root s = 3.097 GeV. The branching fraction is determined to be B(Sigma(+)-> Lambda e(+)nu(e))=2.93 +/- 0.74 (stat) +/- 0.13(syst)] x 10(-5), which is the most precise measurement obtained in a single experiment to date and also the first result obtained at a collider experiment. Combining this result with the world average of B(Sigma(-)-> Lambda e(-) (nu) over bar (e). and the lifetimes of Sigma(+/-), the ratio, Gamma (Sigma(-) ->Lambda e(-) (nu) over bar (e) /Sigma(+) -> Lambda e(+) (nu) over bar (e), is determined to be 1.06 +/- 0.28, which is within 1.8 standard deviations of the value expected in the absence of second-class currents.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Using 7.33 fb(-1) of e(+)e(-) collision data taken with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we report the first experimental study of the purely leptonic decay D-s*(+) -> e(+)v(e). Our data contain a signal of this decay with a statistical significance of 2.9s. The branching fraction of D-s*(+) -> e(+)v(e) is measured to be (2.1(-0.9stat)(+1.2) +/- 0.2(syst)+ x 10(-5), corresponding to an upper limit of 4.0 x 10(-5) at the 90% confidence level. Taking the total width of the D-s*(+) [(0.070 +/- 0.028+ keV] predicted with the radiative D-s*(+) decay from the lattice QCD calculation as input, the decay constant of the D-s*(+) is determined to be f(Ds*+) = (214-(+61)(46stat) +/- 44(syst)) MeV, corresponding to an upper limit of 354 MeVat the 90% confidence level.

First Measurement of the Decay Asymmetry in the Pure W-Boson-Exchange Decay Λ›c+ → Ξ0K
- 2024

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Based on 4.4 fb-1 of e+e- annihilation data collected at the center-of-mass energies between 4.60 and 4.70 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, the pure W-boson-exchange decay Λc+ → Ξ0K+ is studied with a full angular analysis. The corresponding decay asymmetry is measured for the first time to be αΞ0K+ = 0.01 ± 0.16(stat) ± 0.03(syst). This result reflects the noninterference effect between the S- and P-wave amplitudes. The phase shift between S- and P-wave amplitudes has two solutions, which are δp - δs = -1.55 ± 0.25(stat) ± 0.05(syst) rad or 1.59 ± 0.25(stat) ± 0.05(syst) rad.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Using an e+e- collision data sample of (10087 ± 44)x106 J/Ψ. events taken at the center-of-mass energy of 3.097 GeV by the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, the process Λ + N → Σ+ + X is studied for the first time employing a novel method. The Σ+ hyperons are produced by the collisions of Λ hyperons from J/Ψ decays with nuclei in the material of the BESIII detector. The total cross section of Λ + 9Be → Σ+ + X is measured to be σ = (37.3 ± 4.7 ± 3.5) mb with Λ momenta within [1.057, 1.091] GeV/c, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. This analysis is the first study of Λ-nucleon interactions at an e+e- collider, providing information and constraints relevant for the strong-interaction potential, the origin of color confinement, the unified model for baryon-baryon interactions, and the internal structure of neutron stars.

First simultaneous measurement of Ξ0 and (Ξ)over-bar0 asymmetry parameters in ψ(3686) decay
- 2023

In: Physical Review D. - : American Physical Society. - 2470-0010 .- 2470-0029. ; 108:1

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Xi(0) asymmetry parameters are measured using entangled quantum Xi(0) - (Xi) over bar (0) pairs from a sample of (448.1 +/- 2.9) x 10(6) psi(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector at BEPCII. The relative phase between the transition amplitudes of the Xi(0)(Xi) over bar helicity states is measured to be Delta Phi = -0.050 +/- 0.150 +/- 0.020 rad, which implies that there is no obvious polarization at the current level of statistics. The decay parameters of the Xi(0) hyperon (alpha(Xi 0), alpha((Xi) over bar0), phi(Xi 0), phi((Xi) over bar0)) and the angular distribution parameter [alpha(psi(3686))] and Delta Phi are measured simultaneously for the first time. In addition, the CP asymmetry observables are determined to be A(CP)(Xi 0) = (alpha(Xi 0) + alpha((Xi) over bar0))/(alpha(Xi 0) - alpha((Xi) over bar0)) = -0.007 +/- 0.082 +/- 0.025 and Delta phi(Xi 0)(CP) = (phi(Xi 0) + phi((Xi) over bar0))/2 = -0.079 +/- 0.082 +/- 0.010 rad, which are consistent with CP conservation.

- Using (1.0087 & PLUSMN; 0.0044) x 1010 J=iy events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring, the process E0n & RARR; E-p is studied, where the E0 baryon is produced in the process J=iy & RARR; E0E over bar 0 and the neutron is a component of the 9Be, 12C, and 197Au nuclei in the beam pipe. A clear signal is observed with a statistical significance of 7.1u. The cross section of the reaction E0 + 9Be & RARR; E- + p + 8Be is determined to be u(E0 + 9Be & RARR; E- + p + 8Be) = (22.1 & PLUSMN; 5.3stat & PLUSMN; 4.5sys) mb at the E0 momentum of 0.818 GeV=c, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. No significant H-dibaryon signal is observed in the E-p final state. This is the first study of hyperon-nucleon interactions in electron-positron collisions and opens up a new direction for such research.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Using (447.9 +/- 2.3) million (3686) events collected with the BESIII detector, the decays of chi(cJ) -> phi phi (J = 0, 1, 2) have been studied via the decay psi(3686) ->gamma chi(cJ). The branching fractions of the decays chi(cJ) -> phi phi (J = 0, 1, 2) are determined to be (8.59 +/- 0.27 +/- 0.20) x 10(-4), (4.26 +/- 0.13 +/- 0.15) x 10(-4), and (12.67 +/- 0.28 +/- 0. 33) x 10(-4), respectively, which are the most precise measurements to date. From a helicity amplitude analysis of the process psi(3686) -> gamma chi(cJ), chi(cJ) -> phi phi, phi -> K+K-, the polarization parameters of the chi(cJ) -> phi phi decays are determined for the first time.
