TL;DR: The result is consistent with standard model (SM) expectations, where the largest discrepancy from a SM prediction is observed in the muon modes with a local significance of 2.6σ.
Abstract: We present a measurement of angular observables and a test of lepton flavor universality in the B -> K(+)l(+)l(-) decay, where l is either e or mu. The analysis is performed on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 711 fb(-1) containing 772 x 10(6) B (B) over bar pairs, collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) collider KEKB. The result is consistent with standard model (SM) expectations, where the largest discrepancy from a SM prediction is observed in the muon modes with a local significance of 2.6 sigma.

TL;DR: In this article, Miyashiro-type orogeny is revised, based on an assessment of geologic data collected from the Japanese Islands during the past 25 years, and it is shown that the orogenic climax happened at a time of mid-oceanic ridge subduction.
Abstract: The concept of Pacific-type orogeny is revised, based on an assessment of geologic data collected from the Japanese Islands during the past 25 years. The formation of a passive continental margin after the birth of the Pacific Ocean at 600 Ma was followed by the initiation of oceanic plate subduction at 450 Ma. Since then, four episodes of Pacific-type orogeny have occurred to create an orogenic belt 400 km wide that gradually grew both oceanward and downward. The orogenic belt consists mainly of an accretionary complex tectonically interlayered with thin (<2 km thick), subhorizontal, high-P/T regional metamorphic belts. Both the accretionary complex and the high-P/T rocks were intruded by granitoids ∼100 million years after the formation of the accretionary complex. The intrusion of calc-alkaline (CA) plutons was synchronous with the exhumation of high-P/T schist belts. Ages from microfossils and K-Ar analysis suggest that the orogenic climax happened at a time of mid-oceanic ridge subduction. The orogenic climax was characterized by the formation of major subhorizontal orogenic structures, the exhumation of high-P/T schist belts by wedge extrusion and subsequent domed uplift, and the intrusion-extrusion of CA magma dominantly produced by slab melting. The orogenic climax ended soon after ridge subduction, and thereafter a new Pacific-type orogeny began. A single Pacific-type orogenic cycle may correspond to the interaction of the Asian continental margin with one major Pacific oceanic plate. Ophiolites in Japan occur as accreted material and are not of island-arc but of plume origin. They presumably formed after the birth of the southern Pacific superplume at 600 Ma, and did not modify the cordilleran-type orogeny in a major way. Microplates, fore-arc slivers, intra-oceanic arc collisions and the opening of back-arc basins clearly contributed to cordilleran orogenesis. However, they were of secondary importance and served only to modify pre-existing major orogenic components. The most important cause of cordilleran-type orogeny is the subduction of a mid-oceanic ridge, by which the volume of continental crust increases through the transfer of granitic melt from the subducting oceanic crust to an orogenic welt. Accretionary complexes are composed mainly of recycled granitic sediments with minor amounts of oceanic material, which indicate that the accretion of oceanic material, including huge oceanic plateaus, was not significant for orogenic growth. Instead, the formation and intrusion of granitoids are the keys to continental growth, which is the most important process in Pacific-type orogeny. Collision-type orogeny does not increase the volume of continental crust. The name ‘Miyashiro-type orogeny’ is proposed for this revised concept of Pacific-type or cordilleran-type orogeny, in order to commemorate Professor A. Miyashiro's many contributions to a better understanding of orogenesis.

TL;DR: In this paper, a spectral modeling analysis of the optical afterglow spectrum taken by the Subaru Telescope is presented, aiming to constrain the reionization history of the gamma-ray burst (GRB) 050904 at z =6.3 provides the first opportunity to probe the intergalactic medium (IGM) by GRBs at the epoch of reionisation.
Abstract: The gamma-ray burst (GRB) 050904 at z =6 .3 provides the first opportunity to probe the intergalactic medium (IGM) by GRBs at the epoch of reionization. Here, we present a spectral modeling analysis of the optical afterglow spectrum taken by the Subaru Telescope, aiming to constrain the reionization history. The spectrum shows a clear damping wing at wavelengths redward of the Lyman break, and the wing shape can be fitted either by a damped Lyα system with a column density of log[NHI(cm −2 )] ∼ 21.6 at a redshift close to the detected metal absorption lines (zmetal =6 .295), or by almost neutral IGM extending to a slightly higher redshift of zIGM,u ∼ 6.36. In the latter case, the difference between the two redshifts may be explained by the acceleration of metal absorbing shells in the activities of the GRB or its progenitor. However, we exclude this possibility by using the light transmission feature around the Lyβ resonance, leading to a firm upper limit of zIGM,u ≤ 6.314. We then show evidence that the IGM was already largely ionized at z =6 .3 with the best-fit neutral fraction of IGM, xHI (≡ nHI/nH )=0 .00, and upper limits of xHI 6. Various systematic uncertainties are examined, but none of them appears large enough to change our conclusion. To get further information on the reionization, it is important to increase the sample size of z 6 GRBs, in order to find GRBs with low column densities (log NHI 20) within their host galaxies and to make statistical studies of Lyα line emission from host galaxies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the recent approaches in realizing carrier-transport-enhanced CMOS, and the critical issues, fabrication techniques, and device performance of MOSFETs using three types of channel materials, Si (SiGe) with uniaxial strain, Ge-on-insulator (GOI), and III-V semiconductors, are presented.
Abstract: An effective way to reduce supply voltage and resulting power consumption without losing the circuit performance of CMOS is to use CMOS structures using high carrier mobility/velocity. In this paper, our recent approaches in realizing these carrier-transport-enhanced CMOS will be reviewed. First, the basic concept on the choice of channels for increasing on current of MOSFETs, the effective-mass engineering, is introduced from the viewpoint of both carrier velocity and surface carrier concentration under a given gate voltage. Based on this understanding, critical issues, fabrication techniques, and the device performance of MOSFETs using three types of channel materials, Si (SiGe) with uniaxial strain, Ge-on-insulator (GOI), and III-V semiconductors, are presented. As for the strained devices, the importance of uniaxial strain, as well as the combination with multigate structures, is addressed. A novel subband engineering for electrons on (110) surfaces is also introduced. As for GOI MOSFETs, the versatility of the Ge condensation technique for fabricating a variety of Ge-based devices is emphasized. In addition, as for III-V semiconductor MOSFETs, advantages and disadvantages on low effective mass are examined through simple theoretical calculations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a topological magnonic crystal which provides protected chiral edge modes for magnetostatic spin waves, which implements novel fault-tolerant spintronic devices.
Abstract: Topological phases have been explored in various fields in physics such as spintronics, photonics, liquid helium, correlated electron system, and cold-atomic system. This leads to the recent foundation of emerging materials such as topological band insulators, topological photonic crystals, and topological superconductors/superfluid. In this paper, we propose a topological magnonic crystal which provides protected chiral edge modes for magnetostatic spin waves. Based on a linearized Landau-Lifshitz equation, we show that a magnonic crystal with the dipolar interaction acquires a spin-wave volume-mode band with nonzero Chern integer. We argue that such magnonic systems are accompanied by the same integer numbers of chiral spin-wave edge modes within a band gap for the volume-mode bands. In these edge modes, the spin wave propagates in a unidirectional manner without being scattered backward, which implements novel fault-tolerant spintronic devices.
