TL;DR: In this article, the spin and parity quantum numbers of the Higgs boson in the final state are presented, based on proton-proton collision data collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb.
Abstract: Studies of the spin and parity quantum numbers of the Higgs boson in the [Formula: see text] final state are presented, based on proton-proton collision data collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb[Formula: see text] at a centre-of-mass energy of [Formula: see text] TeV. The Standard Model spin-parity [Formula: see text] hypothesis is compared with alternative hypotheses for both spin and CP. The case where the observed resonance is a mixture of the Standard-Model-like Higgs boson and CP-even ([Formula: see text]) or CP-odd ([Formula: see text]) Higgs boson in scenarios beyond the Standard Model is also studied. The data are found to be consistent with the Standard Model prediction and limits are placed on alternative spin and CP hypotheses, including CP mixing in different scenarios.

TL;DR: In this article, the branching fractions for the B mesons in a hadronic decay mode were measured based on data collected at the Upsilon (4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II e+ e- storage rings.
Abstract: We report a measurement of the branching fractions for _B-->D(*)(pi)l- _nu(l) decays based on 3411 fb(-1) of data collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II e+ e- storage rings Events are tagged by fully reconstructing one of the B mesons in a hadronic decay mode We obtain B(B- -->D(0)l-_nu(l)=(233+/-009(stat)+/-009(syst)%, B(B- -->D(*0)l-_nu(l)=(583+/-015(stat) +/-030(syst) %, B(_B(0)-->D+l-_nu(l)=(221+/-011(stat) +/-012(syst)%, B(_B(0)-->D(*)l-_nu(l)=(549+/-016(stat)+/-025(syst)%, B(B- -->D+pi-l-_nu(l)=(042+/-006(stat)+/-003(syst)%, B(B- -->D(*)+pi-l-_nu(l)=(059+/-005(stat)+/-004(syst)%, B(_B(0)-->D(0)pi+l-_nu(l)=(043+/-008(stat)+/-003(syst)%, and B(_B(0)-->D(*0)pi+l-_nu(l)=(048+/-008(stat)+/-004(syst)%

TL;DR: In this article, two-body B-meson decays to a charmonium state (eta(c), eta(c)(2S) or h(c)) and a K+ or K-*0(892) meson using a sample of 349 fb(-1) of data collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center.
Abstract: We study two-body B-meson decays to a charmonium state (eta(c), eta(c)(2S) or h(c)) and a K+ or K-*0(892) meson using a sample of 349 fb(-1) of data collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. We measure B(B-0 -> eta K-c*(0)) = (5.7 +/- 0.6(stat) +/- 0.9(syst)) x 10(-4), B(B-0 -> eta(c)(2S)K*(0)) h(c)K(+)) x B(h(c) -> eta(c)gamma) h(c)K*(0)) x B(h(c) -> eta(c)gamma) K (K) over bar pi) = (1.9 +/- 0.4(stat) +/- 1.1(syst))%. We also measure the mass and width of the eta(c) meson to be m(eta(c)) = (2985.8 +/- 1.5(stat) +/- 3.1(syst)) MeV/c(2) and Gamma(eta(c)) = (36.3(-3.6)(+3.7)(stat) +/- 4.4(syst)) MeV.

TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.
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 …

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the change in the goodness-of-fit index (GFI) when cross-group constraints are imposed on a measurement model and found that the change was independent of both model complexity and sample size.
Abstract: Measurement invariance is usually tested using Multigroup Confirmatory Factor Analysis, which examines the change in the goodness-of-fit index (GFI) when cross-group constraints are imposed on a measurement model. Although many studies have examined the properties of GFI as indicators of overall model fit for single-group data, there have been none to date that examine how GFIs change when between-group constraints are added to a measurement model. The lack of a consensus about what constitutes significant GFI differences places limits on measurement invariance testing. We examine 20 GFIs based on the minimum fit function. A simulation under the two-group situation was used to examine changes in the GFIs (ΔGFIs) when invariance constraints were added. Based on the results, we recommend using Δcomparative fit index, ΔGamma hat, and ΔMcDonald's Noncentrality Index to evaluate measurement invariance. These three ΔGFIs are independent of both model complexity and sample size, and are not correlated with the o...

TL;DR: In this paper, a sedimentological core and petrographic characterisation of samples from eleven boreholes from the Lower Carboniferous of Bowland Basin (Northwest England) is presented.
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.
