Experimental study of the inclusiveη-spectrum fromp \bar p annihilations at rest in liquid hydrogen

The inclusive η-momentum spectrum from \(\bar p\) annihilations at rest in liquid hydrogen was measured at LEAR. Branching ratios were obtained for $$\begin{gathered} p\bar p \to \eta \omega \left( {1.04_{ - 0.10}^{ + 0.09} } \right)\% ,\eta \rho ^0 \left( {0.53_{ - 0.08}^{ + 0.20} } \right)\% , \hfill \\ \pi a_2 \left( {8.49_{ - 1.10}^{ + 1.05} } \right)\% ,\eta \pi ^0 \left( {1.33 \pm 0.27} \right) \times 10^{ - 4} , \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ , and ηη(8.1±3.1)×10^?5. An upper limit for \(p\bar p \to \eta \eta '\) of 1.8×10^?4 at 95% CL was found. The ratio of the branching ratios is BR(η?)/BR(ηω)=0.51 _?0.06 ^+0.20 . For the ratio of branching ratios into two pseudoscalar mesons, we have BR(ηπ⁰)/BR(π⁰π⁰)=0.65±0.14, BR(ηη)/BR(π⁰π⁰), BR(η η ^′ )/BR(π⁰π⁰) at 95% CL, and BR(ηη)/BR(ηπ⁰).     

Die Kristallstruktur von CsTcO4 [1]

The Crystal Structure of CsTcO₄ CsTcO₄ crystallizes orthorhombic with a = 5.72₇, b = 5.92₁ and c = 14.34 Å. Z = 4, space group Pnma (Nr. 62, I.T.). The metal positions were refined by single crystal data, the oxygen positions first determined: the CsTcO₄ structure is a slight distortion of the scheelite arrangement (parameters: see text). The MADELUNG Part of Lattice Energy, MAPLE, ?Mean Effective Ionic Radii”?, MEIR, and Effective Coordination Numbers, ECoN, are calculated and discussed.     

Microsatellite structures in the context of human evolution

Six microsatellite - or short tandem repeat (STR) - systems with uniform repetitive sequences (HumTH01, HumCD4, HumFES/FPS, HumF13B, HumTPO, HumLPL) and three compound repeat systems (HumVWA, HumFIBRA, D21S11) were used, including data from the literature, to determine genetic distances among eight populations worldwide. The TH01- and VWA homologous loci in nonhuman primates (chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, rhesus monkeys, ring-tailed lemurs) were compared and found to be shorter than in humans. Microsatellites of lower complexity were most efficient for the separation of major ethnic groups. The loci of higher complexity showed a leveling of the diversity differences among populations, which could be attributed to higher mutation rates.
