Evidence for the decay B0→J/ψω and measurement of the relative branching fractions of meson decays to J/ψη and J/ψη′
No full textFirst 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)

Precision measurements of B[psi(3686) -> pi(+)pi(-)J/psi] and B[J/psi -> l(+)l(-)]
No full text<p>Based on (106.41 +/- 0.86) x 10(6) psi(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, the branching fractions of psi(3686) -> pi(+)pi(-)J/psi, J/psi -> e(+)e(-), and J/psi -> mu(+)mu(-) are measured. We obtain B[psi(3686) -> pi(+)pi(-)J/psi] = (34.98 +/- 0.02 +/- 0.45)%, B[J/psi -> e(+)e(-)] = (5.983 +/- 0.007 +/- 0.037)%, and B[J/psi -> mu(+)mu(-)] = (5.973 +/- 0.0007 +/- 0.038)%. The measurement of B[psi(3686) -> pi(+)pi(-)J/psi] confirms the CLEO-c measurement, and is apparently larger than the others. The measured J/psi leptonic decay branching fractions agree with previous experiments within one standard deviation. These results lead to B[J/psi -> l(+)l(-)] = (5.978 +/- 0.005 +/- 0.040)% by averaging over the e(+)e(-) and mu(+)mu(-) channels and a ratio of B[J/psi -> e(+)e(-)]/B[J/psi -> mu(+)mu(-)] = 1.0017 +/- 0.0017 +/- 0.0033, which tests e- mu universality at the four tenths of a percent level. All the measurements presented in this paper are the most precise in the world to date.</p>

A study of vapor CdCl2 treatment by CSS in CdS/CdTe solar cells
No full textWe report the effect of CdCl2 vapor treatment on the photovoltaic parameters of CdS/CdTe solar cells. Vapor treatment allows combining CdCl2 exposure time and annealing in one step. In this alternative treatment, the CdS/CdTe substrates were treated with CdCl2 vapor in a close spaced sublimation (CSS) configuration. The substrate temperature and CdCl2, powder source temperature were 400 degrees C. The treatment was done by varying the treatment time (t) from 15 to 90 min. Such solar cells are examined by measuring their current density versus voltage (J-V) characteristics. The open-circuit voltage V-oc), short circuit current density (J(sc)) and fill factor (FF) of our best cell, fabricated and normalized to the area of 1 cm(2), were V-oc = 663 mV, J(sc) = 18.5 mA/cm(2) and FF = 40%, respectively, corresponding to a total area conversion efficiency of n = 5%. In cells of minor area (0.1 cm(2)) efficiencies of 8% have been obtained. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
Reactivity with aryldiazonium cations of hydrazine complexes of ruthenium and osmium
No full textThe bis(amine) derivative [Os(NH3)2L4](BPh4)2 (1) formed when bis(hydrazine) complex [Os(NH2NH2)2- L4](BPh4)2 was reacted with aryldiazonium salt [ArN2](BF4) in CH2Cl2 [L = P(OEt)3; Ar = 4-CH3C6H4]. Instead, reaction in (CH3)2CO afforded the bis(hydrazone) derivative [Os{NH2N@C(CH3)2}2L4](BPh4)2 (2). The chloro-amine derivative [RuCl(NH3)L4](BPh4) (3) formed by reaction with [ArN2](BF4) in CH2Cl2 of complex [Ru(NH2NH2)2L4](BPh4)2, whereas amine-carbonyl derivative [Ru(NH3)(CO)L4](BPh4)2 (4) was obtained from [Ru(CO)(NH2NH2)L4](BPh4)2. Treatment of [Ru(NH2NH2)2L4](BPh4)2 with [ArN2](BF4) in (CH3)2CO afforded the bis(hydrazone) derivative [Ru{NH2N@C(CH3)2}2L4](BPh4)2 (5). The complexes were characterised by IR and NMR spectroscopy and by X-ray crystal structur
