Measurement of associated W+ charm production in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV
Get PDFOpen Access, Copyright CERN, for the benefit of the CMS Collaboration.Measurements are presented of the associated production of a W boson and a charm-quark jet (W + c) in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The analysis is conducted with a data sample corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 5 fb−1, collected by the CMS detector at the LHC. W boson candidates are identified by their decay into a charged lepton (muon or electron) and a neutrino. The W + c measurements are performed for charm-quark jets in the kinematic region p jet T > 25 GeV, |ηjet| 25 GeV) and σ(pp → W + c + X)× B (W → ℓν) = 84.1 ± 2.0 (stat.) ± 4.9 (syst.) pb ( p ℓ T > 35 GeV), and the cross section ratios σ(pp → W+ + c ¯ + X)/σ(pp → W− + c + X) = 0.954 ± 0.025 (stat.) ± 0.004 (syst.) ( p ℓ T > 25 GeV) and σ(pp → W+ + c ¯ + X)/σ(pp → W− + c + X) = 0.938 ± 0.019 (stat.) ± 0.006 (syst.) ( p ℓ T > 35 GeV). Cross sections and cross section ratios are also measured differentially with respect to the absolute value of the pseudorapidity of the lepton from the W-boson decay. These are the first measurements from the LHC directly sensitive to the strange quark and antiquark content of the proton. Results are compared with theoretical predictions and are consistent with the predictions based on global fits of parton distribution functions

For Inquires: Please, contact Professor Fallou Ngom ([email protected])These manuscripts are the originals handwritten by Serigne Mouhammadou Masokhna Lo. Based on the interview with the author, they were written in the 1980s. Red, green, and black ink are used in the manuscripts. The red and green ink are used to highlight key words and phrases. There are frequent insertions of Arabic phrases, which include quranic quotations and opening and closing formulae. The manuscripts contain several poems written by Serigne Mouhammadou Masokhna Lo, including a biographical eulogy of Serigne Mor Mbaye Cisse, a renowned Murid scholar and educator who lived and taught in Diourbel; and criticisms of social problems such as lack of discipline and good behavior, disorderly conduct, adultery, the negative consequences of alcoholism among men, women, young and old, and among leaders and their followers. The materials also include historical accounts of the five year long construction of the mosque of Diourbel (Jumaay Ndiaareem) using chronograms; the discussion between Serigne Modou Moustapha (who led the effort) and the French engineer responsible for the construction on the equipment needed; the construction of the railway between Diourbel and Touba; the personal qualities of Serigne Bassirou Mbacke; a tribute to Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba and to Serigne Mbacke Madina; the motivation of 28 kaamil (copies of the Qur'an) written by Serigne Fallou Mbacke for his father and spiritual guide Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba; and a tribute to Serigne Bousso, among others. The materials also contain a poem on coffee and its benefits.

Some images are difficult to read due to the poor condition of both the originals, which have ink stains, and the writing (especially those entirely written with black inks). The ink has faded away in some pages.This collection of Wolofal (Wolof Ajami) materials is copied as part of the EAP 334 Project (Digital Preservation of Wolof Ajami manuscripts of Senegal) led by Dr. Fallou Ngom in collaboration with WARA/WARC and Boston University Library.

No full textTheoretical predictions for cross sections at approximate NLO
Get PDFWe present theoretical calculations of higher-order QCD and electroweak corrections for the associated production of a top-antitop quark pair and a boson ( production) at LHC energies. We show predictions for cross sections at approximate NLO (aNLO) which include second-order and third-order soft-gluon corrections added to the exact NLO QCD+electroweak result. We compare our results to recent measurements from the LHC, and we find that our predictions provide improved agreement with the data. We also calculate the top-quark transverse momentum and rapidity distributions in production. We find significant enhancements from the higher-order corrections to the total and differential cross sections for this process.5 pages, 2 figures; in proceedings of the 31st International Workshop on Deep Inelastic Scattering and Related Subjects (DIS2024), 8-12 April 2024, Grenoble, Franc
