Further distribution of this work must maintain attribution to the author(s) and the published articles title, journal citation, and DOI.Measurements of the muon charge asymmetry in inclusive pp → W + X production at root s= 7 TeV are presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb−1 recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC. With a sample of more than 20 million W → μν events, the statistical precision is greatly improved in comparison to previous measurements. These new results provide additional constraints on the parton distribution functions of the proton in the range of the Bjorken scaling variable x from 10−3 to 10−1. These measurements and the recent CMS measurement of associated W þ charm production are used together with the cross sections for inclusive deep inelastic e p scattering at HERA in a next-to-leading-order QCD analysis. The determination of the valence quark distributions is improved, and the strange-quark distribution is probed directly through the leading-order process g þ s → W þ c in proton-proton collisions at the LHC.the Austrian Federal Ministry of Science and Research and the Austrian Science Fund; the Belgian Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique, and Fonds voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek; the Brazilian Funding Agencies (CNPq, CAPES, FAPERJ, and FAPESP); the Bulgarian Ministry of Education and Science; CERN; the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Ministry of Science and Technology, and National Natural Science Foundation of China; the Colombian Funding Agency (COLCIENCIAS); the Croatian Ministry of Science, Education and Sport, and the Croatian Science Foundation; the Research Promotion Foundation, Cyprus; the Ministry of Education and Research, Recurrent financing contract SF0690030s09 and European Regional Development Fund, Estonia; the Academy of Finland, Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture, and Helsinki Institute of Physics; the Institut National de Physique Nucléaire et de Physique des Particules/CNRS, and Commissariat à l’Énergie Atomique et aux Énergies Alternatives/CEA, France; the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, and Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft Deutscher Forschungszentren, Germany; the General Secretariat for Research and Technology, Greece; the National Scientific Research Foundation, and National Innovation Office, Hungary; the Department of Atomic Energy and the Department of Science and Technology, India; the Institute for Studies in Theoretical Physics and Mathematics, Iran; the Science Foundation, Ireland; the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, Italy; the Korean Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and the World Class University program of NRF, Republic of Korea; the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences; the Mexican Funding Agencies (CINVESTAV, CONACYT, SEP, and UASLP-FAI); the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, New Zealand; the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission; the Ministry of Science and Higher Education and the National Science Centre, Poland; the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, Portugal; JINR, Dubna; the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the Federal Agency of Atomic Energy of the Russian Federation, Russian Academy of Sciences, and the Russian Foundation for Basic Research; the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development of Serbia; the Secretaría de Estado de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación and Programa Consolider-Ingenio 2010, Spain; the Swiss Funding Agencies (ETH Board, ETH Zurich, PSI, SNF, UniZH, Canton Zurich, and SER); the National Science Council, Taipei; the Thailand Center of Excellence in Physics, the Institute for the Promotion of Teaching Science and Technology of Thailand, Special Task Force for Activating Research and the National Science and Technology Development Agency of Thailand; the Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey, and Turkish Atomic Energy Authority; the Science and Technology Facilities Council, UK; the U.S. Department of Energy, and the U.S. National Science Foundation.

    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

    Evidence for Electroweak Production of W(+/-)W(+/-)jj in pp Collisions at root s=8 TeV with the ATLAS Detector

    Further distribution of this work must maintain attribution to the author(s) and the published article's title, journal citation, and DOI.This Letter presents the first study of W±W±jj, same-electric-charge diboson production in association with two jets, using 20.3 fb-1 of proton-proton collision data at √s=8 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Events with two reconstructed same-charge leptons (e±e±, e±μ±, and μ±μ±) and two or more jets are analyzed. Production cross sections are measured in two fiducial regions, with different sensitivities to the electroweak and strong production mechanisms. First evidence for W±W±jj production and electroweak-only W±W±jj production is observed with a significance of 4.5 and 3.6 standard deviations, respectively. The measured production cross sections are in agreement with standard model predictions. Limits at 95% confidence level are set on anomalous quartic gauge couplings

    Dottrina delle processioni e reciprocità. In dialogo con S. Bulgakov, W. Pannenberg e G. Greshake

    No full text
    W trudnej kwestii pogodzenia jedności i wielości w Bogu doktryna o pochodzeniu odgrywa zasadniczą rolę: przez zrodzenie Syna i pochodzenie Ducha jest możliwe myślenie o trzech osobach bez utraty z pola widzenia jedności istoty. W Sumie teologii, w której systematyczny wykład o pochodzeniach osiąga swoje ostateczne ujęcie, zrodzenie i pochodzenie Ducha przyjmują rolę przyczynową. Tomasz bowiem proponuje rozumienie wynikowe (na sposób efektu domina), w którym z dwóch pochodzeń wyprowadza się cztery relacje, a trzy z nich są subsystentne: Ojciec, Syn, Duch. To, czego brakuje w tym modelu, to wzajemność. Gdyby relacje między Osobami Boskimi były całkowicie wzajemne, nie moglibyśmy pozostać tylko przy czterech relacjach. Bulgakov, Pannenber i Greshake krytykują zrozumienie przyczynowe pochodzeń. W świetle ich pism będzie można nakreślić drogę reinterpretacji doktryny o zrodzeniu Syna i pochodzeniu Ducha, by lepiej pojąć tę wzajemność obecną w danych biblijnych. Obracając się wokół trzech centrów refleksji – monarchii, przyczynowości i wzajemności – podejmiemy myśl teologa ortodoksyjnego, protestanta i katolika, by zaproponować własne propozycje na temat pochodzeń Osób Boskich i wzajemności ich relacji.In the difficult question of reconciling unity and plurality in God, the doctrine of procession has a fundamental role: by giving birth to the Son and the processionof the Spirit, it is possible to think of three persons without losing sight of the unity of the being. In the Summa Theologie, in which a systematic lecture on processions reaches its final grasp, the birth of the Son and the procession of the Spirit take a causal role. St Thomas proposes a resultant understanding (a domino effect phenomenon) in which four relationships are derived from two processions, and three of them are subsistent: Father, Son, and Spirit. What is missing in this model is reciprocity. If the relations between the Divine Persons were completely mutual, we could not have only 4 relationships. Bulgakov, Pannenber and Greshake criticize the causal understanding of processions. In the light of their writings, it will be possible to outline a way of reinterpreting the doctrine of the birth of the Son and the origin of the Spirit in order to better understand this reciprocity present in Biblical data. Circling around the three centers of reflection – monarchy, causality and reciprocity – the Author takes the thought of the Orthodox theologian Bulgakov, Protestant Pannenberg and Catholic Greshake to suggest his own proposals on the procession of the Divine Persons and the reciprocity of their relations

    G band atmospheric radars: New frontiers in cloud physics

    No full text
    Clouds and associated precipitation are the largest source of uncertainty in current weather and future climate simulations. Observations of the microphysical, dynamical and radiative processes that act at cloud scales are needed to improve our understanding of clouds. The rapid expansion of ground-based super-sites and the availability of continuous profiling and scanning multi-frequency radar observations at 35 and 94 GHz have significantly improved our ability to probe the internal structure of clouds in high temporal-spatial resolution, and to retrieve quantitative cloud and precipitation properties. However, there are still gaps in our ability to probe clouds due to large uncertainties in the retrievals. The present work discusses the potential of G band (frequency between 110 and 300 GHz) Doppler radars in combination with lower frequencies to further improve the retrievals of microphysical properties. Our results show that, thanks to a larger dynamic range in dual-wavelength reflectivity, dual-wavelength attenuation and dual-wavelength Doppler velocity (with respect to a Rayleigh reference), the inclusion of frequencies in the G band can significantly improve current profiling capabilities in three key areas: boundary layer clouds, cirrus and mid-level ice clouds, and precipitating snow. © 2014 Author(s)

    Is translator a co-author?

All figures including auxiliary figures are available at http://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/PHYSICS/PAPERS/STDM-2015-20/International audienceThe production of opposite-charge WW-boson pairs in proton-proton collisions at s\sqrt{s} = 13 TeV is measured using data corresponding to 3.16 fb1^{-1} of integrated luminosity collected by the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider in 2015. Candidate WW-boson pairs are selected by identifying their leptonic decays into an electron, a muon and neutrinos. Events with reconstructed jets are not included in the candidate event sample. The cross-section measurement is performed in a fiducial phase space close to the experimental acceptance and is compared to theoretical predictions. Agreement is found between the measurement and the most accurate calculations available
