Measurement of the branching fractions and the invariant mass distributions for τ-→h-h+h-ντ decays

Abstract: We present a study of tau(-)->pi(-)pi(+)pi(-)nu(tau), tau(-) -> K-pi(+)pi(-)nu(tau), tau(-) -> K-K+ pi(-)nu(tau), and tau(-) -> K-K+K-nu(tau) decays using a 666 fb(-1) data sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric- energy e(+)e(-) collider at and near a center- of- mass energy of 10.58 GeV. The branching fractions are measured to be B(tau(-)->pi(-)pi(+)pi(-)nu(tau)) = (8.42 +/- 0.00(-0.25)(+0.26)) x 10(-2), B(tau(-)-> K-pi(+)pi(-)nu(tau)) = 3.30 +/- 0.01(-0.17)(+0.16)) x 10(-3), B(tau(-)-> K-K+pi(-)nu(tau)) = (1.55 +/- 0.01(-0.05)(+0.06)) x 10(-3), and B(tau(-)-> K-K+K-nu(tau)), = (3.29 +/- 0.17(-0.20)(+0.19)) x 10(-5), where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. These branching fractions do not include contributions from modes in which a pi(+)pi(-) pair originates from a K-S(0) decay. We also present the unfolded invariant mass distributions for these decays.

Measurements of the ZZ production cross sections in the 2l2ν channel in proton–proton collisions at √s = 7 and 8 TeV and combined constraints on triple gauge couplings

Abstract: Measurements of the ZZ production cross sections in proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV are presented. Candidate events for the leptonic decay mode ZZ to 2 l 2 nu, where l denotes an electron or a muon, are reconstructed and selected from data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.1 (19.6) inverse femtobarns at 7 (8) TeV collected with the CMS experiment. The measured cross sections, sigma(pp to ZZ) = 5.2 -1.4 +1.5 (stat) -1.1 +1.4 (syst) +/- 0.2 (lumi) pb at 7 TeV, and 6.9 -0.8 +0.8 (stat.) -1.4 +1.8 (syst) +/- 0.3 (lumi) pb at 8 TeV, are in good agreement with the standard model predictions with next-to-leading-order accuracy. The selected data are analyzed to search for anomalous triple gauge couplings involving the ZZ final state. In the absence of any deviation from the standard model predictions, limits are set on the relevant parameters. These limits are then combined with the previously published CMS results for ZZ in 4 l final states, yielding the most stringent constraints on the anomalous couplings.

Luminosity measurements for the R scan experiment at BESIII

Abstract: By analyzing the large-angle Bhabha scattering events $e^{+}e^{-}$ $\to$ ($\gamma$)$e^{+}e^{-}$ and diphoton events $e^{+}e^{-}$ $\to$ $\gamma\gamma$ for the data sets collected at center-of-mass (c.m.) energies between 2.2324 and 4.5900 GeV (131 energy points in total) with the upgraded Beijing Spectrometer (BESIII) at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider (BEPCII), the integrated luminosities have been measured at the different c.m. energies, individually. The results are the important inputs for R value and $J/\psi$ resonance parameter measurements.

Measurement of the top quark mass in the all-jets final state at √s=13TeV and combination with the lepton+jets channel

Abstract: A top quark mass measurement is performed using 35.9fb-1 of LHC proton-proton collision data collected with the CMS detector at s=13TeV . The measurement uses the tt¯ all-jets final state. A kinematic fit is performed to reconstruct the decay of the tt¯ system and suppress the multijet background. Using the ideogram method, the top quark mass ( mt ) is determined, simultaneously constraining an additional jet energy scale factor ( JSF ). The resulting value of mt=172.34±0.20(stat+JSF)±0.70(syst)GeV is in good agreement with previous measurements. In addition, a combined measurement that uses the tt¯ lepton+jets and all-jets final states is presented, using the same mass extraction method, and provides an mt measurement of 172.26±0.07(stat+JSF)±0.61(syst)GeV . This is the first combined mt extraction from the lepton+jets and all-jets channels through a single likelihood function.

Measurement of B ---> D(*) tau nu using full reconstruction tags

Abstract: We present measurements of B -> D^* tau nu and B -> D tau nu decays using 604.5 fb^-1 of data collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider. Events are tagged by fully reconstructing one of the B mesons in hadronic modes. We obtain Br(B^+ -> D^0-bar tau^+ nu) = (1.51 +0.41/-0.39 +0.24/-0.19 +/- 0.15)%, Br(B^+ -> D^*0-bar tau^+ nu) = (3.04 +0.69/-0.66 +0.40/-0.47 +/- 0.22)%, Br(B^0 -> D^- tau^+ nu) = (1.01 +0.46/-0.41 +0.13/-0.11 +/- 0.10)%, Br(B^0 -> D^*- tau^+ nu) = (2.56 +0.75/-0.66 +0.31/-0.22 +/- 0.10)%, where the first error is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is due to the uncertainty in the branching fraction for the normalization mode.

I and i

Abstract: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality. Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

SciPy 1.0--Fundamental Algorithms for Scientific Computing in Python

Abstract: SciPy is an open source scientific computing library for the Python programming language. SciPy 1.0 was released in late 2017, about 16 years after the original version 0.1 release. SciPy has become a de facto standard for leveraging scientific algorithms in the Python programming language, with more than 600 unique code contributors, thousands of dependent packages, over 100,000 dependent repositories, and millions of downloads per year. This includes usage of SciPy in almost half of all machine learning projects on GitHub, and usage by high profile projects including LIGO gravitational wave analysis and creation of the first-ever image of a black hole (M87). The library includes functionality spanning clustering, Fourier transforms, integration, interpolation, file I/O, linear algebra, image processing, orthogonal distance regression, minimization algorithms, signal processing, sparse matrix handling, computational geometry, and statistics. In this work, we provide an overview of the capabilities and development practices of the SciPy library and highlight some recent technical developments.

Phd by thesis

Abstract: Deposits of clastic carbonate-dominated (calciclastic) sedimentary slope systems in the rock record have been identified mostly as linearly-consistent carbonate apron deposits, even though most ancient clastic carbonate slope deposits fit the submarine fan systems better. Calciclastic submarine fans are consequently rarely described and are poorly understood. Subsequently, very little is known especially in mud-dominated calciclastic submarine fan systems. Presented in this study are a sedimentological core and petrographic characterisation of samples from eleven boreholes from the Lower Carboniferous of Bowland Basin (Northwest England) that reveals a >250 m thick calciturbidite complex deposited in a calciclastic submarine fan setting. Seven facies are recognised from core and thin section characterisation and are grouped into three carbonate turbidite sequences. They include: 1) Calciturbidites, comprising mostly of highto low-density, wavy-laminated bioclast-rich facies; 2) low-density densite mudstones which are characterised by planar laminated and unlaminated muddominated facies; and 3) Calcidebrites which are muddy or hyper-concentrated debrisflow deposits occurring as poorly-sorted, chaotic, mud-supported floatstones. These
