Philosophical and psychological ideas in the post-civil war novels of Ramon J Sender.
No full textPhDThe novels Sender has written since the Spanish Civil War
are interesting above all for their ideas. These centre on
two main topics: one, philosophical - the nature of reality -,
the other, psychological - the problems of adjustment to reality.
Such ideas and topics are not to be found in Sender's pre-Civil
War works; nor are these works characterised by the considerable
ambiguity and structural complexity of the later books which
challenge the reader with doubts and questions rather than
supply-him with answers.
The quasi-autobiographical novels, ih particular, among
Sender's post-Civil War works, suggest that the war was a watershed
in his life and thought. Certainly that is the major
experience with which his fictional counterparts have to
struggle - the non-autobiographical works often focus on other
traumatic experiences. Certainly too, when Sender came to rework
pre-Civil-War material in post-Civil War novels his originalviews
were either changed or - more frequently - questioned and
presented as being no more valid than a number of quite different
views. Moreover, the lives of Sender's fictional counterparts -
in his post-Civil War autobiographical novels - amount to hypothetical,
moral and existential variations on the author's own
life, before, during and after the Civil War.
The complex structure and ambiguity of Sender's post-Civil
War works are wedded to the philosophical and psychological
topics they present and explore. Structure and ideas both
reflect his response to the traumatic challenge which the
Spanish Civil War forced upon his understanding and capacity for
adjustment. In writing these works Sender has tried to shed
some light on the reality of his own life - including its unknown
and unknowable aspects - and by so doing confirmSto the attentive
reader, the profound seriousness and importance of Sender's
post-war writing
Evidence for the decay B0→J/ψω and measurement of the relative branching fractions of meson decays to J/ψη and J/ψη′
Get PDFFirst 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
Get PDFThis 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

Measurement of the ratio of prompt χ c to J / ψ production in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV
Get PDFThe 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
