TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the second volume of the Future Circular Collider Conceptual Design Report, devoted to the electron-positron collider FCC-ee, and present the accelerator design, performance reach, a staged operation scenario, the underlying technologies, civil engineering, technical infrastructure, and an implementation plan.
Abstract: In response to the 2013 Update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics, the Future Circular Collider (FCC) study was launched, as an international collaboration hosted by CERN. This study covers a highest-luminosity high-energy lepton collider (FCC-ee) and an energy-frontier hadron collider (FCC-hh), which could, successively, be installed in the same 100 km tunnel. The scientific capabilities of the integrated FCC programme would serve the worldwide community throughout the 21st century. The FCC study also investigates an LHC energy upgrade, using FCC-hh technology. This document constitutes the second volume of the FCC Conceptual Design Report, devoted to the electron-positron collider FCC-ee. After summarizing the physics discovery opportunities, it presents the accelerator design, performance reach, a staged operation scenario, the underlying technologies, civil engineering, technical infrastructure, and an implementation plan. FCC-ee can be built with today’s technology. Most of the FCC-ee infrastructure could be reused for FCC-hh. Combining concepts from past and present lepton colliders and adding a few novel elements, the FCC-ee design promises outstandingly high luminosity. This will make the FCC-ee a unique precision instrument to study the heaviest known particles (Z, W and H bosons and the top quark), offering great direct and indirect sensitivity to new physics.

TL;DR: Repeated, excessive intake of sugar created a state in which an opioid antagonist caused behavioral and neurochemical signs of opioid withdrawal, suggesting that the rats had become sugar-dependent.
Abstract: COLANTUONI, CARLO, PEDRO RADA, JOSEPH Mc-CARTHY, CAROLINE PATTEN, NICOLE M. AVENA,ANDREW CHADEAYNE, AND BARTLEY G. HOEBEL.Evidence that intermittent, excessive sugar intake causesendogenous opiod dependence. Obes Res. 2002;10:478–488.Objective: The goal was to determine whether withdrawalfrom sugar can cause signs of opioid dependence. Becausepalatable food stimulates neural systems that are implicatedin drug addiction, it was hypothesized that intermittent,excessive sugar intake might create dependency, as indi-cated by withdrawal signs.Research Methods and Procedures: Male rats were food-deprived for 12 hours daily, including 4 hours in the earlydark, and then offered highly palatable 25% glucose inaddition to chow for the next 12 hours. Withdrawal wasinduced by naloxone or food deprivation. Withdrawal signswere measured by observation, ultrasonic recordings, ele-vated plus maze tests, and in vivo microdialysis.Results: Naloxone (20 mg/kg intraperitoneally) causedsomatic signs, such as teeth chattering, forepaw tremor,and head shakes. Food deprivation for 24 hours causedspontaneous withdrawal signs, such as teeth chattering.Naloxone (3 mg/kg subcutaneously) caused reduced timeon the exposed arm of an elevated plus maze, whereagain significant teeth chattering was recorded. The plusmaze anxiety effect was replicated with four controlgroups for comparison. Accumbens microdialysis re-vealed that naloxone (10 and 20 mg/kg intraperitoneally)decreased extracellular dopamine (DA), while dose-depen-dently increasing acetylcholine (ACh). The naloxone-inducedDA/ACh imbalance was replicated with 10% sucrose and 3mg/kg naloxone subcutaneously.Discussion: Repeated, excessive intake of sugar created astate in which an opioid antagonist caused behavioral andneurochemical signs of opioid withdrawal. The indices ofanxiety and DA/ACh imbalance were qualitatively similarto withdrawal from morphine or nicotine, suggesting thatthe rats had become sugar-dependent.Key words: glucose, addiction, dopamine, plus maze,acetylcholine

TL;DR: In this paper, an improved jet energy scale corrections, based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb^(-1) collected by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, are presented.
Abstract: Improved jet energy scale corrections, based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb^(-1) collected by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, are presented. The corrections as a function of pseudorapidity η and transverse momentum p_T are extracted from data and simulated events combining several channels and methods. They account successively for the effects of pileup, uniformity of the detector response, and residual data-simulation jet energy scale differences. Further corrections, depending on the jet flavor and distance parameter (jet size) R, are also presented. The jet energy resolution is measured in data and simulated events and is studied as a function of pileup, jet size, and jet flavor. Typical jet energy resolutions at the central rapidities are 15–20% at 30 GeV, about 10% at 100 GeV, and 5% at 1 TeV. The studies exploit events with dijet topology, as well as photon+jet, Z+jet and multijet events. Several new techniques are used to account for the various sources of jet energy scale corrections, and a full set of uncertainties, and their correlations, are provided. The final uncertainties on the jet energy scale are below 3% across the phase space considered by most analyses (p_T > 30 GeV and 0|η| 30 GeV is reached, when excluding the jet flavor uncertainties, which are provided separately for different jet flavors. A new benchmark for jet energy scale determination at hadron colliders is achieved with 0.32% uncertainty for jets with p_T of the order of 165–330 GeV, and |η| < 0.8.
