    No full text
    We present measurements of branching fraction, polarization and charge asymmetry in charmless hadronic B decays with eta, eta', omega, and b_1 in the final state. All the results use the final BaBar dataset

    Measurements of Time-Dependent CP Asymmetries in b\to s Penguin Dominated Hadronic B Decays at BaBar

    No full text
    We report measurements of Time-Dependent CP asymmetries in several b {yields} s penguin dominated hadronic B decays, where New Physics contributions may appear. We find no significant discrepancies with respect to the Standard Model expectations

    STUDY OF CHARMONIUM RESONANCES IN THE GAMGAM -> K0S K+PI- AND GAMGAM -> K+K-PI+PI-PI0 PROCESSES

    No full text
    We study charmonium resonances produced via two-photon interactions and decaying to the K0S K+ PI- and K+ K- PI+ PI- PI0 final states, using data collected by the BaBar experiment, located at the PEP-II asymmetric e+e- storage ring at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. We observe the eta_c(1S), chi_c0(1P) and eta_c(2S) resonances produced in two-photon interactions and decaying to K+ K- PI+ PI- PI0, with significances of 18.1, 5.4 and 5.3 standard deviations (including systematic errors), respectively, and report 4.0sigma evidence of the chi_c2(1P) decay to this final state. We measure the eta_c(2S)mass and width in K0S K+ PI- decays, and obtain the values m(eta_c(2S))= 3638.5 +/- 1.5 +/- 0.8 MeV/c^2 and Gamma(eta_c(2S)) = 13.4 +/- 4.6 +/- 3.2 MeV, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. We measure the two-photon width times branching fraction for the reported resonance signals, and search for the chi_c2(2P) resonance, but no significant signal is observed

    Changes in soil phosphorus (P) fractions and P bioavailability after 10 years of continuous P fertilization

    Phosphorus fertilization modify soil P fractions differing in availability, but little is known about bioavailability of these pools for the crops when increasing P fertilizer rates in the medium term. Our objectives were to evaluate: i) changes in Bray-1 P content (extracted with 0,03 M NH4F and 0,1 M HCl) and soil P fractions as estimated by physical (Cambardella and Elliot method, POM-P) and chemical fractionation (Hedley method), ii) the relationship between these fractions and P bioavailability quantified in a test crop, and iii) the interaction with sulfur (S) fertilization after 10 years of continuous P and S fertilization. Soil samples were taken after 10 years in an experiment that followed a maize - full season-soybean - double-cropped wheat /soybean sequence that received P and S fertilization when cereals were sown. Treatments consisted of a factorial combination of three P rates (0, 20, and 40 kg P ha−1) and four S rates (0, 12, 24, and 36 kg S ha−1) applied to cereals from 2000 to 2010. After that, a maize used as a test crop was sown and P uptake was considered as bioavailable P. Soil samples were taken before sowing the test crop, and P in soil was fractionated chemically by the Hedley method and physically by wet sieving. After 10 years, when P fertilizer was not applied, soil Bray-1 P decreased 50 % respect to the initial P values, and increased up to 2.3 times when evaluating the highest P fertilizer rate. P fertilization did not change in POM-P. P soil labile (NaHCO3-Pi) and moderately labile (NaOH- Pi and HCl 1 M- Pi) inorganic fractions increased 83 %, 50 %, and 22 % in response to P addition, representing an increase of 4.2, 4.9, and 4.5 mg kg−1 of these fractions per 100 kg of applied P. Likewise, these fractions were related with P uptake in the maize test crop with 1.6, 1.5, and 1 kg of P uptake ha−1 in mg kg−1 increase in each of these fractions, respectively. Then, these fractions may be responsible for the legacy-P after 10 years of continuous fertilization in a Luvic Phaeozem of the Pampas region.EEA OliverosFil: Biassoni, María Micaela.

    SDDs for high-rate and high-resolution electron spectroscopy

    No full text
    Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs) are a promising technology for electron spectroscopy, due to their excellent energy resolution and capability to sustain high interaction rate. We present a model based on a Geant4 simulation for the electron response. We then investigate the possibility to use a SDD as a versatile and compact spectrometer that can be operated with standard technologies
