Measurement of the ratio of prompt χ c to J / ψ production in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV
No full textThe prompt production of charmonium χ c and J / ψ states is studied in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 7 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The χ c and J / ψ mesons are identified through their decays χ c → J / ψ γ and J / ψ → μ + μ - using 36 pb - 1 of data collected by the LHCb detector in 2010. The ratio of the prompt production cross-sections for χ c and J / ψ, σ (χ c → J / ψ γ) / σ (J / ψ), is determined as a function of the J / ψ transverse momentum in the range 2 < p T J / ψ < 15 GeV / c. The results are in excellent agreement with next-to-leading order non-relativistic expectations and show a significant discrepancy compared with the colour singlet model prediction at leading order, especially in the low p T J / ψ region
Jingyi-Chen/cloud_parcel_mode: cloud parcel model
No full textThis is the first release of the cloud parcel model developed by Jingyi Chen. The development of this model was supported by Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Laboratory in 2012-2014 (adiabatic version) and 2015-2017 (entrainment-mixing with entrained aerosols).

Overexpression of Cyclin D1 and C-Myc Gene Products in Human Primary Epithelial Ovarian Cancer
No full textCyclin D1 and c-Myc are key participants in the cell-cycle pathway, in which aberrancies have been associated with malignant transformation. To date, data on the relationship of expression of these proteins and histologic subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer are still scarce and discordant. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed on 12 normal ovaries and 47 cases of serous, mucinous, endometrioid, and clear cell ovarian carcinomas. No abnormal expression of cyclin D1 or c-Myc was demonstrated in any of the 12 normal ovarian specimens. However, compared to normal ovarian tissues, overexpression of cyclin D1 and c-Myc was observed in 42.6% (20/47) and 65.9% (31/47) of tumors examined, respectively. There was no significant difference of overexpression of cyclin D1 or c-Myc gene products between these four histologic subtypes of ovarian adenocarcinomas. This study shows that cyclin D1 and c-Myc are frequently overexpressed in epithelial ovarian carcinomas, but they are not correlated with a particular histologic subtype. Although our preliminary results need to be validated in a larger number of tumors, the abnormal expression of cyclin D 1 and c-Myc in epithelial ovarian cancer reaffirms the notion that they are crucial components in the pathway of tumorigenesis and deserve further study
Simulation of adiabatic thermal beams in a periodic solenoidal magnetic focusing field
No full textSelf-consistent particle-in-cell simulations are performed to verify earlier theoretical predictions of adiabatic thermal beams in a periodic solenoidal magnetic focusing field [ K. R. Samokhvalova, J. Zhou and C. Chen Phys. Plasmas 14 103102 (2007); J. Zhou, K. R. Samokhvalova and C. Chen Phys. Plasmas 15 023102 (2008)]. In particular, results are obtained for adiabatic thermal beams that do not rotate in the Larmor frame. For such beams, the theoretical predictions of the rms beam envelope, the conservations of the rms thermal emittances, the adiabatic equation of state, and the Debye length are verified in the simulations. Furthermore, the adiabatic thermal beam is found be stable in the parameter regime where the simulations are performed.United States. Dept. of Energy (Grant DEFG02- 95ER40919)United States.

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)
