Compatibility of the K+n and K−n total cross section measurements,KL0-KS0 regeneration amplitude on hydrogen and CP-violating parameter |η+−|

It is shown that the K⁺n- and K^?n total cross section differenceis and the K_L⁰-K_S⁰ transmission regeneration amplitude measurements at high energies are in good agreement with the CP-violating parameter value |ν_+? = (2.30±0.03) × 10^?3.     

Differential and channel cross sections for the reactions KL0p → KS0p and KL0p → Λ0π+ in the c.m. energy range 1605 to 1910 MeV

The differential and channel cross sections have been measured for the reactions K_L⁰p → K_S⁰p and K_L⁰p → Λ⁰π⁺ in nine energy intervals in the c.m. range 1605 to 1910 MeV. The regeneration reaction is a combination of the KN amplitudes (with I = 0 and 1) and the $\text{K}\text{N}$ amplitude (I = 1) and is very sensitive to the various KN phase-shift solutions, some of which show an exotic I = 0, P₁ resonance. Our results have been expressed in terms of frequency distributions and cross sections, normalised by the Λ⁰π⁺ reaction. These results have been compared with the predictions of various partial-wave analyses. Qualitatively we can eliminate the P₁ non-resonant solution, though no solution correctly predicts our results.

The results are presented of an analysis of 4709 fully reconstructed K_L⁰ → π⁺π^?π⁰, observed in a hydrogen bubble chamber. The data fit to a linear π⁰ energy spectrum to give a slope parameter g = 0.610 ± 0.022.     

Transition densities between the 01+, 21+, 41+, 02+, 22+, 11− and 31− states in 12C derived from the three-alpha resonating-group wave functions

All the multipole transition densities between the seven T = 0 states in ¹²C are calculated with the use of the microscopic 3α resonating-group wave functions which are obtained by dynamically solving the 3α relative motion with the total antisymmetrization taken into account exactly. The observed elastic and inelastic electron scattering form factors for the transition to the 2₁⁺, 4₁⁺, 0₂⁺, 1₁^?and 3₁^? states are well reproduced with no additional effective charge. The existence of a deformed intrinsic state for the 0₁⁺, 2₁⁺and 4₁⁺states is deduced by the analysis of the transition densities between them which are derived by the weak-coupling-type 3α wave functions; the intrinsic density distribution is illustrated. The monopole density distribution of the 0₂⁺, 2₂⁺ and 1₁^?, states is found to be much longer ranged than that of the 0₁⁺, 2₁⁺ and 4₁⁺ states; the 3₁^? state case is intermediate. On the basis of the transition densities between the 0₁⁺, 2₁⁺, 0₂⁺ and 2₂⁺ states, analysis is made of the transition between the shell-like states and the molecule-like states with a large spatial-structure change. Specific, effective nucleon-nucleon interactions are folded into the transition densities here obtained. The evident dependence of the radial shape of the folded nucleon-¹²C form factors on the choice of the interactions and the multi-step form factors for the excitation of the 0₂⁺, 1₁^? and 3₁^? states are discussed.     

A study of the decay KL0 → π±e∓νe

In a study of charged K_L⁰ three-body decays a sample of 6668 K_L⁰ → π^±e^?ν candidates has been obtained. The Dalitz plot distribution is in agreement with V ? A theory, and limits are presented for scalar and tensot contributions to the weak current. Using a conventional expansion for the form factor f₊ we find λ₊ = 0.055 ± 0.010 with systematic effects estimated at ± 0.01.     

Study of the reaction KL0p → KS0p in the c.m. energy range 1490–1700 MeV

Experimental results on the K_L⁰p → K_S⁰p reaction at 11 laboratory momenta between 300 and 800 MeV/c are presented. The data are used to discriminate among the various sets of phase shifts for K⁺N scattering in the I = 0 state.     

A measurement of the KL0p → KS0p reaction between 4 and 14 GeV/c in the range 0.1 ⩽|t|⩽ 2 GeV2

We present experimental data on the K_L⁰p → K_S⁰p reaction between 4 and 14 GeV/c in the range 0.1 ? |t| ? 2 GeV². This experiment has been performed at the CERN PS, using spark chambers and a large aperture magnet. The results show a break of slope at t = ?0.3 GeV². The ω trajectory deduced from the data has an intercept α(0) = 0.5 and a slope α′ = 0.88. A comparison with various models shows that the non-flip amplitude is dominant.     

Comparison between the spin polarization energies for VSi− in silicon and VGa0 in gallium phosphide

We compare the gain in energy upon spin polarization for the undistorted V_Si^- in silicon and V_Ga⁰ in gallium phosphide. We show that this gain in energy is mainly related to the magnitude of the electron-electron interactions on the first neighbors of the vacancy. These interactions being larger for phosphorous atoms than for silicon atoms, the spin polarization energy is larger for V_Ga⁰ than for V_Si^?; this explains why the former is spin polarized while the latter is Jahn-Teller distorted.     

Measurement of the KS0 → π+π−γ decay rate

From a study of 70 000 K° decays in the CERN 2m hydrogen bubble chamber, we have estimated the rate for K_S⁰ → π⁺π^?γ for different cuts in the γ momentum. The results are in good agreement with inner bremsstrahlung on K_S⁰ → π⁺π^?. For γ momentum in the K° c.m. greater than 50 MeV/c, we obtain the branching ratio: Γ(K_S → π⁺π^?γ, k>50 MeV/c)/Γ(K_S→π⁺π^?)=(2.8. ± 0.6)×10^?3. This leads to an estimate for the direct γ emission process: Γ(K_S→π⁺π^?γ direct)/Γ(K_S → π⁺π^?)=(0.3 ± 0.6) × 10^?3.     

Allowance for the shell structure of the 42100 Mo and 46110 Pd nuclei in the synthesis of 84200 Po, 88210 Ra, and 92220 U

The effect of the shell structure of colliding nuclei in calculating the entrance channel on the ensuing evolution of the product system is investigated. The entrance channel is calculated under the assumption of the nose-to-nose orientation of colliding nuclei. The following three reactions involving nuclei that are deformed in the ground state are considered: ₄₂¹⁰⁰Mo + ₄₂¹⁰⁰Mo → ₈₄¹⁰⁰Po, ₄₂¹⁰⁰Mo + ₄₆¹⁰⁰Pd → ₈₈²¹⁰Ra, and ₄₆¹¹⁰Pd + ₄₆¹¹⁰Pd → ₉₂²²⁰U. The state of the system at the point of touching is determined by the results obtained by calculating the entrance reaction channel. The shape of the system is specified by three collective coordinates (deformation parameters). The evolution of collective coordinates of the system is described in terms of Langevin equations. The potential energy of the system of colliding nuclei is calculated with allowance for their shell structure. It is shown that allowance for individual features of interacting nuclei in the entrance channel of the fusion-fission reactions makes it possible to obtain, for the reactions being considered, cross sections for evaporation-residue formation that are closer to available experimental data than their liquid-drop counterparts.     

The hydrogen compensated cation vacancy VOH− in magnesium oxide

H-doped MgO single crystals show a number of infrared absorption bands in the OH stretching region. H-doped, high purity, well-annealed MgO crystals (4N grade = 99.99%), grown from the melt, show a prominent group of four equally spaced bands at 3296, 3310, 3325 and 3341 cm^?1, while lower grade 3N MgO crystals exhibit only the first two bands and the third after X-irradiation. Until now these bands were assigned to different types of OH^? ions. The present spectra indicate that the four bands form a quadruplet which is assigned to the OH stretching fundamental of one proton substituting a divalent cation [OH^?V_Mg^″O^2?]^?. In this defect the proton is expected to behave as an off-center impurity, residing probably in an XY₈ multiple well potential in the [111] directions. The 8-fold degenerate ground level will split due to tunneling into A_2u, T_2g, T_1u, A_1g states, giving rise to the observed quadruplet. The quadruplet is expected, if the proton occupies the nearly spherical well of the tetrahedral sites above each face of the octahedron forming the XY₈ system. If the proton moves towards the trigonal sites in the (111) faces, the well becomes elliptical and the quadruplet will be reduced to a doublet.     

Polarization spectroscopy of the E0g+-B0u+ band system of Br2

The E-B (0_g⁺-0_u⁺) band system of Br₂ has been investigated at Doppler-limited resolution using polarization labeling spectroscopy. Merged E state data for the three naturally occurring isotopes in the range v_E = 0–16, expressed in terms of the constants for ⁷⁹Br₂, are (in cm^?1) Y_0,0 = 49 777.962(54), Y_1,0 = 150.834(22), Y_2,0 = ?0.4182(28), Y_3,0 = 6.6(11) × 10^?4, Y_0,1 = 4.1876(28) × 10^?2, Y_1,1 = ?1.607(16) × 10^?4, and Y_0,2 = 1.39(39) × 10^?8. The bond distance is $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>e</mtext>}}\text{= 3.194}\text{A}\text{?}$, and the diabatic dissociation energy to $\text{Br}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{(}{}^3\text{P}{}_2\text{) +}\text{Br}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{(}{}^1\text{S}{}_0\text{)}\text{is 34 700 cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$.     

Coherent A2− production of nuclei observed in the K−KS0 decay channel at 17.2 GeV/c

We have studied A₂^? production by π^? on a nuclear target in the K^?K_S⁰ decay channel, where the A₂^? is observed above a small background at 17.2 GeV/c incident momentum. Direct confirmation of coherent A₂ (J^P = 2⁺) production has been found.     

Measurement of the branching ratios for Kμ2+, Kπ2+, Ke3+ and Ke3+ decays using a magnetic spectrometer with streamer chambers

The momenta of ～30 000 charged particles from K⁺ decays were measured using a magnetic spectrometer with streamer chambers. The ratio R = Γ(K_π2⁺)/Γ(K_μ2⁺) = 0.3355 ± 0.0057 was obtained. Our values for the branching ratios are: (63.18±0.43)% for K_μ2⁺, (21.18±0.33)% for K_π2⁺, (3.33±0.51)% for K_μ3⁺, (4.99±0.54)% for K_e3⁺.     

Deperturbation of the N2+ first negative group B2Σu+-X2Σg+

Twelve bands of the N₂⁺B²Σ_u⁺-X²Σ_g⁺ system, including v_B = 0–6 and v_X = 0–8, are reanalyzed. All effects of B²Σ_u⁺ ～ A²Π_u perturbations are explicitly considered. Despite the use of high precision (0.01 cm^?1) line measurements, no evidence for a perturber other than A²Π_u is obtained. Deperturbed constants for the B²Σ_u⁺ and X²Σ_g⁺ states are derived. The deperturbation is shown to be self-consistent and complete (excluding effects of the C²Σ_u⁺ state) by examining semiempirical relationships of the perturbation matrix elements with the spin-rotation constants of the B and X states and atomic spin-orbit parameters. A number of previous analyses of transitions involving the v_B = 3 and 5 levels are found to be incorrect.     

Study of the production of Λb0 and B0 hadrons in pp collisions and first measurement of the Λb0→J/ψpK- branching fraction

The product of the Λ_b⁰(B⁰) di erential production cross-section and the branching fraction of the decay Λ_b⁰→J/ψpK^- (B⁰→J/ψpK^*(892)⁰) is measured as a function of the beauty hadron transverse momentum, pT, and rapidity, y. The kinematic region of the measurements is p_T <20 GeV/c and 2.0< y< 4.5. The measurements use a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3fb^-1 collected by the LHCb detector in pp collisions at centre-of-mass energies √s= 7 TeV in 2011 and √s= 8 TeV in 2012. Based on previous LHCb results of the fragmentation fraction ratio, f_Λb⁰/f_d, the branching fraction of the decay Λ_b⁰→J/ψpK^- is measured to be
B(Λ_b⁰→J/ψpK^-)=(3.17±0.04±0.07±0.34_-0.28^+0.45)×10^-4,
where the rst uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, the third is due to the uncertainty on the branching fraction of the decay B⁰→J/ψpK^*(892)⁰, and the fourth is due to the knowledge of f_Λb⁰/f_d. The sum of the asymmetries in the production and decay between Λ_b⁰ and Λ_b⁰ is also measured as a function of p_T and y. The previously published branching fraction of Λ_b⁰→J/ψpπ^-, relative to that of Λ_b⁰→J/ψpK^-, is updated. The branching fractions of Λ_b⁰→P_c⁺(→J/ψp)K^- are determined.     

Neutron scattering study of NH4+ Motion in NH4+ β-alumina

Incoherent inelastic neutron scattering has been used to study the motion of NH₄⁺ ions in NH₄⁺ β-alumina. The results establish that jump reorientation of NH₄⁺ ions is rapid compared to translational diffusion: The data are consistent with thermally activated jumps between equivalent NH₄⁺ orientations with a proton jump frequency of $\text{~1.0 × 10}{}^{12}\text{sec}$ at room temperature.The data are inconsistent with either free rotation or unrestricted rotational diffusion. The residence time between translational diffusion jumps is >6 × 10^?11 sec at temperatures less than 473°K.
