Abstract A high statistics data sample of the $$K^{+}\rightarrow \mu ^{+}\nu _{\mu }$$ K+→μ+νμ decay was accumulated by the OKA experiment in 2012. The missing mass analysis was performed to search ...for the decay channel $$K^{+}\rightarrow \mu ^{+}\nu _{H}$$ K+→μ+νH with a hypothetic stable heavy neutrino in the final state. The obtained missing mass spectrum does not show peaks that could be attributed to existence of stable heavy neutrinos in the mass range $$(270< m_{\nu _{H}} < 375)$$ (270<mνH<375) MeV$$/c^{2}$$ /c2 . As a result, upper limits on the branching ratio and on the value of the mixing element $$|U_{\mu H}|^{2}$$ |UμH|2 are obtained.
The applicability of fallen leaves as a raw material for the production of solid briquette fuel was assessed. In the course of a laboratory study performed with the use of the raw material gathered ...within the city of Novosibirsk, test samples were obtained and their properties were characterized. A conclusion on the applicability of the new form of solid biofuel was made.
Abstract The $$K^{+} \rightarrow \pi ^{+}\pi ^{0}\pi ^{0}\gamma $$ K + → π + π 0 π 0 γ decay is observed by the OKA collaboration. About 60 events of the decay observed with signal:noise $$\approx ...1$$ ≈ 1 . The branching ratio obtained by normalization to $$K^{+} \rightarrow \pi ^{+}\pi ^{0}\pi ^{0}$$ K + → π + π 0 π 0 is measured to be $$(3.7 \pm 0.9(stat) \pm 0.3(syst))\times 10^{-6}$$ ( 3.7 ± 0.9 ( s t a t ) ± 0.3 ( s y s t ) ) × 10 - 6 for $$E_{\gamma }^*>10\,\textrm{MeV}$$ E γ ∗ > 10 MeV . The branching ratio, $$\gamma $$ γ energy spectrum and angular distribution are consistent with ChPT prediction.
Abstract A high-statistics data sample of the $$K^{+}$$ K + decays is recorded by the OKA collaboration. A missing mass analysis is performed to search for a light invisible pseudoscalar axion-like ...particle (ALP) a in the decay $$K^{+} \rightarrow \pi ^{+} \pi ^{0} a$$ K + → π + π 0 a . No signal is observed, and the upper limits for the branching ratio of the decay are calculated. The $$90\%$$ 90 % confidence level upper limit changes from $$2.5\cdot 10^{-6}$$ 2.5 · 10 - 6 to $$2\cdot 10^{-7}$$ 2 · 10 - 7 for the ALP mass from 0 to 200 MeV/ $$c^{2}$$ c 2 , except for the region of $$\pi ^{0}$$ π 0 mass, where the upper limit is $$4.4\cdot 10^{-6}$$ 4.4 · 10 - 6 .
A precise measurement of the vector and axial-vector form factors difference Formula omitted in the Formula omitted decay is presented. About 95K events of Formula omitted are selected in the OKA ...experiment. The result is Formula omitted. Both errors are smaller than in the previous Formula omitted measurements.
A high statistics data sample of the decays of Formula omitted mesons to three charged particles was accumulated by the OKA experiment in 2012 and 2013. This allowed to select a clean sample of about ...450 events with Formula omitted decays with the energy of the photon in the kaon rest frame greater than 30 MeV. The measured branching fraction of the Formula omitted, with Formula omitted is equal to Formula omitted. The measured differential branching fraction over photon energy is compared with the prediction of the chiral perturbation theory to Formula omitted. A search for an up-down asymmetry of the photon with respect to the hadronic system decay plane is also performed.
It is shown that the velocity fluctuation spectra measured using a hot-wire in the potential flow region of a turbulent jet near field in the presence of a co-flow can be converted into the spectra ...of pressure fluctuations. The proposed conversion method is based on the fact that the structure of instability waves, which make a decisive contribution to the jet near-field fluctuations, resembles homogeneous one-dimensional waves, which makes it possible to locally link the pressure fluctuations and the fluctuations of the streamwise velocity component measured by a hot-wire.
Abstract Results of a study of the $$K^+ \rightarrow \pi ^{0} e^{+} \nu \gamma $$ K + → π 0 e + ν γ decay at OKA setup are presented. More than 32,000 events of this decay are observed. The ...differential spectra over the photon energy and the photon–electron opening angle in kaon rest frame are presented. The branching ratios, normalized to that of $$K_{e3}$$ K e 3 decay are calculated for different cuts on $$E^*_\gamma $$ E γ ∗ and $$cos\Theta ^{*}_{e\gamma }$$ c o s Θ e γ ∗ . In particular, the branching ratio for $$E^{*}_{\gamma }>30$$ E γ ∗ > 30 MeV and $$\Theta ^{*}_{e \gamma }>20^{\circ }$$ Θ e γ ∗ > 20 ∘ is measured R = $$\frac{Br(K^+ \rightarrow \pi ^{0} e^{+} \nu _{e} \gamma ) }{Br(K^+ \rightarrow \pi ^{0} e^{+} \nu _{e})} $$ B r ( K + → π 0 e + ν e γ ) B r ( K + → π 0 e + ν e ) = = (0.587±0.010(stat.)±0.015(syst.)) $$\times 10^{-2}$$ × 10 - 2 , which is in a good agreement with ChPT $$O(p^{4})$$ O ( p 4 ) calculations.

Abstract
The Review summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 2,143 new measurements from 709 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured ...properties of gauge bosons and the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons, and baryons. We summarize searches for hypothetical particles such as supersymmetric particles, heavy bosons, axions, dark photons, etc. Particle properties and search limits are listed in Summary Tables. We give numerous tables, figures, formulae, and reviews of topics such as Higgs Boson Physics, Supersymmetry, Grand Unified Theories, Neutrino Mixing, Dark Energy, Dark Matter, Cosmology, Particle Detectors, Colliders, Probability and Statistics. Among the 120 reviews are many that are new or heavily revised, including a new review on Machine Learning, and one on Spectroscopy of Light Meson Resonances.
The Review is divided into two volumes. Volume 1 includes the Summary Tables and 97 review articles. Volume 2 consists of the Particle Listings and contains also 23 reviews that address specific aspects of the data presented in the Listings.
The complete Review (both volumes) is published online on the website of the Particle Data Group (pdg.lbl.gov) and in a journal. Volume 1 is available in print as the PDG Book. A Particle Physics Booklet with the Summary Tables and essential tables, figures, and equations from selected review articles is available in print, as a web version optimized for use on phones, and as an Android app.
