Evidence for the decay B0→J/ψω and measurement of the relative branching fractions of meson decays to J/ψη and J/ψη′
First evidence of the B 0 → J / ψ ω decay is found and the B s 0 → J / ψ η and B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ decays are studied using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb -1 collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The branching fractions of these decays are measured relative to that of the B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0 decay:frac(B (B 0 → J / ψ ω), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 0.89 ± 0.19 (stat) - 0.13 + 0.07 (syst),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 14.0 ± 1.2 (stat) - 1.5 + 1.1 (syst) - 1.0 + 1.1 (frac(f d, f s)),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 12.7 ± 1.1 (stat) - 1.3 + 0.5 (syst) - 0.9 + 1.0 (frac(f d, f s)), where the last uncertainty is due to the knowledge of f d / f s, the ratio of b-quark hadronization factors that accounts for the different production rate of B 0 and B s 0 mesons. The ratio of the branching fractions of B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ and B s 0 → J / ψ η decays is measured to befrac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B s 0 → J / ψ η)) = 0.90 ± 0.09 (stat) - 0.02 + 0.06 (syst)

Measurement of the time-dependent CP asymmetry in B0 -> J/ψ KS0 decays
This Letter reports a measurement of the CP violation observables SJ/ψK0S and CJ/ψK0S in the decay channel B0→J/ψK0S performed with 1.0 fb−1 of pp collisions at s√=7 TeV collected by the LHCb experiment. The fit to the data yields SJ/ψK0S=0.73±0.07(stat)±0.04(syst) and CJ/ψK0S=0.03±0.09(stat)±0.01(syst). Both values are consistent with the current world averages and within

Efeito da desmama antecipada e suplementação alimentar no desempenho reprodutivo de vacas e novilhas criadas em pastagens nativas no Pantanal.
RESUMO - O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da desmama antecipada na taxa de natalidade de vacas multíparas e primíparas, e o uso da suplementação no desenvolvimento e idade ao primeiro parto de novilhas nulíparas, em pastagem nativa. O trabalho foi realizado na sub-região da Nhecolândia, MS, entre agosto/1997 e junho/2000. Na primeira fase (agosto/1997 a outubro/1998), avaliou-se o efeito da desmama antecipada na taxa de natalidade de vacas multíparas e primíparas. Dois grupos homogêneos de matrizes tiveram: (A) bezerros desmamados com cinco meses de idade e suplementados com ração liquida e (B) bezerros desmamados com oito meses de idade. A desmama antecipada resultou em taxa de natalidade superior ( P< 0,001) para o grupo A (81,5%) do que para o grupo B (13,1%). Na segunda fase (outubro/1998 a junho/2000), avaliou-se o efeito da suplementação no ganho de peso e idade à primeira cria das novilhas oriundas dos grupos A e B. Independente do grupo de origem (A ou B), as novilhas em recria apresentaram um ganho de peso médio diário de 0,290 g durante o período de suplementação, alcançando peso vivo de 270 kg na segunda estação chuvosa. Esse fato resultou em uma antecipação ao crescimento normal de, aproximadamente, um ano, embora com pouco efeito no índice de prenhez. Resultados indicam que a baixa taxa de natalidade na região do Pantanal deve-se à restrição alimentar das vacas durante o período de lactação. ABSTRACT - The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of early weaning on pregnancy rate and the use of supplement on development and age at first calving at replacement heifers grazing native pasture. The experiment was conducted at the subregion of Nhecolândia, starting from 08.97 and ending at 06.2000. The effect of early weaning on pregnancy rate at cows and heifers was evaluated at the first experimental period (08.97 to 10.98). Two homogeneous groups of cows had: (A) calves weaned at five months of age, and supplemented with liquid ration and (B) calves weaned at 8 months of age. Early weaning increased (P<0,001) calving rate for group A cows (81,5%) compared to group B cows (13,1%). For the second period (10.98 to 06.2000) it was evaluated the effect of supplementation on weight gain and age calving of heifers born from groups A and B cows and heifers. Apart from birth of group A or B cows, average gain of heifers during supplementation was 0,290 g per day, attained on average liveweight of 270 kg at the second rainy season. This fact means antecipation target weight for mating of about one year, although with no effect on pregnancy rate. Results from this experiment indicate that the main cause of low calving rates at the Pantanal region is due to the restriction of feed after calving.Título em inglês: Effect on antecipated weaning and of supplementary feeding on reprodutive performance of cows and haifers raised on native grasslands in the Brazilian Pantanal wetland
Measurement of b-hadron masses
Measurements of b-hadron masses are performed with the exclusive decay modes B +→J/ψK +, B 0→J/ψK +, B0→J/ψKS0, Bs0→J/ψφ and Λb0→J/ψΛ using an integrated luminosity of 35pb -1 collected in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV by the LHCb experiment. The momentum scale is calibrated with J/ψ→μ +μ - decays and verified to be known to a relative precision of 2 ×10 -4 using other two-body decays. The results are more precise than previous measurements, particularly in the case of the Bs0 and Λb0 masses
