    No full text
    The 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

    Charm production at the LHC in pp collisions at s√=7 TeV is studied with the LHCb detector. The decays D0→K−π+, D+→K−π+π+, D⁎+→D0(K−π+)π+, D+s→ϕ(K−K+)π+, Λ+c→pK−π+, and their charge conjugates are analysed in a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 15 nb−1. Differential cross-sections dσ/dpT are measured for prompt production of the five charmed hadron species in bins of transverse momentum and rapidity in the region 0&#60;pT&#60;8 GeV/c and 2.0&#60;y&#60;4.5. Theoretical predictions are compared to the measured differential cross-sections. The integrated cross-sections of the charm hadrons are computed in the above pT-y range, and their ratios are reported. A combination of the five integrated cross-section measurements gives σ(cc¯)pT&#60;8 GeV/c,2.0&#60;y&#60;4.5=1419±12(stat)±116(syst)±65(frag) μb, where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and due to the fragmentation functions

Paratype female, same data as the holotype (MCN 735). Etymology. The epithet refers to the name of a geological formation very characteristic and beautiful, found in the type locality. Diagnosis. Rhinocricus guaritas is close to Rhinocricus balanus Chamberlin, 1955 by the similar shape of the anterior gonopod sternite with narrowed base and evident coxites, but differs from R. balanus by the longer and broader median process of the sternite (Fig. 16).

Antennae brown, numerous sensory cones (around 18). Collum olivaceous, with yellowish margins and ventro-lateral rounded borders. Prozonites grayish-olive; metazonites olive-brown with yellowish-brown borders. Epiproct olive, distally yellowish-brown and rounded, surpassing the paraproct. Paraproct dark-olive. Hypoproct yellowish-brown. Legs brown, with third and fourth coxae elongate. Ocelli dark-brown, disposed in seven rows, in the following numeric order (dorsal to ventral): 8, 9, 8, 8, 6, 4, 1, right and 8, 8, 8, 7, 6, 4, 3, left. Ozopores dark-brown, beginning at sixth segment. Scobinae beginning at seventh segment. Anterior gonopod (Figs. 16, 17). Sternite with broad-base and sharp distal end, not surpassing the length of coxites and telepodites. Coxite longer than wide, internal lobe of the same size as telepodite. Telepodite with small rounded lobe. Posterior gonopod (Fig. 18). Solenomere longer than tibiotarsus, with sharp pointed and laminate distal end. Tibiotarsus lamellate, externally with small rounded salience, internally with sharp and projected apex. Female, paratype (Figs. 21, 22). As male except as noted. With 52 segments. Length 85.

    Measurement of the inclusive φ cross-section in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV

    No full text
    The cross-section for inclusive φ meson production in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 7 TeV has been measured with the LHCb detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The differential cross-section is measured as a function of the φ transverse momentum pT and rapidity y in the region 0.6< pT <5.0 GeV/c and 2.44< y <4.06. The cross-section for inclusive φ production in this kinematic range is σ(pp→φX)=1758±19(stat) +43−14(syst)±182(scale) μb, where the first systematic uncertainty depends on the pT and y region and the second is related to the overall scale. Predictions based on the Pythia 6.4 generator underestimate the cross-section

    First observations of the B0s →ψ(2S)η, B0 →ψ(2S)π + π − and B0s →ψ(2S)π + π − decays are made 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 √ s = 7 TeV. The ratios of the branching fractions of each of the ψ(2S) modes with respect to the corresponding J/ψ decays are B(B0s →ψ(2S)η) ÷ B(B0s →J/ψη) = 0.83± 0.14 (stat)±0.12 (syst) ±0.02 (B), ; B(B0→ψ(2S)π + π − ) ÷ B(B0→J/ψπ + π − ) = 0.56± 0.07 (stat)±0.05 (syst)± 0.01 (B), ; B(B0s →ψ(2S)π + π − ) ÷ B(B0s →J/ψπ + π − ) = 0.34± 0.04 (stat)±0.03 (syst)± 0.01 (B), where the third uncertainty corresponds to the uncertainties of the dilepton branching fractions of the J/ψ and ψ(2S) meson decays
