Results are reported from a search for the rare decays Bs0→τ±μ∓ and B0→τ±μ∓, where the τ lepton is reconstructed in the channel τ−→π−π+π−ντ. These processes are effectively forbidden in the standard ...model, but they can potentially occur at detectable rates in models of new physics that can induce lepton-flavor-violating decays. The search is based on a data sample corresponding to 3 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions recorded by the LHCb experiment in 2011 and 2012. The event yields observed in the signal regions for both processes are consistent with the expected standard model backgrounds. Because of the limited mass resolution arising from the undetected τ neutrino, the Bs0 and B0 signal regions are highly overlapping. Assuming no contribution from B0→τ±μ∓, the upper limit B(Bs0→τ±μ∓)<4.2×10−5 is obtained at 95% confidence level. If no contribution from Bs0→τ±μ∓ is assumed, a limit of B(B0→τ±μ∓)<1.4×10−5 is obtained at 95% confidence level. These results represent the first limit on B(Bs0→τ±μ∓) and the most stringent limit on B(B0→τ±μ∓).
Abstract The body of a young Japanese woman was found buried in the mass of snow in February 2006 near the town of Liptovsky Mikulas in the Slovak Republic. Hypothermia was declared as the cause of ...her death, the body of the deceased was deeply frozen. The autopsy and police investigation classified her death as a suicide, having some features of an Eastern Asian suicidal ritual. The case shows that the era of world globalization and migration of people bring together also the curious cases of human tragedies. Thus the forensic expert of nowadays must expect that s/he might be faced with cases of death unseen before.
Abstract Mass disasters such as e.g., plane or train crash, shipping accidents or huge explosions in the region of Slovak Republic are not very often, but in spite of this fact sometimes they occur. ...Such a terrible event – a destructive detonation of non-specified amount of explosives, happened on 2nd March 2007 in the Military Repairing Enterprise in Novaky, Slovak Republic, by which the whole enterprise was almost totally destroyed, many employees were injured and eight persons died due to consequences of the explosion. Investigation of this disaster took several months, and parts of dead bodies were found in following weeks during the ruins removal; authors describe the autopsy findings on the explosion victim’s bodies and the possibilities of unknown human remains identification found in the area of the detonation often provided only by DNA analysis.
Abstract The case of 31-year-old pregnant woman in the 28th week of pregnancy is presented. She was brought in a bad condition to a small hospital by her parents. The case history of only 5 h ...included e.g. nausea , multiple emesis , cephalea , deteriorated respiration . Shock status was diagnosed in the hospital intensive care unit. After the patient lost her consciousness, resuscitation, intubation and artificial ventilation breath control were realised immediately, the doses of 13 mg of adrenalin were applied.
Using pp collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb−1 collected with the LHCb detector at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, the B0 → D−D+K+π− decay is studied. A new excited ...Ds+ meson is observed decaying into the D+K+π− final state with large statistical significance. The pole mass and width, and the spin parity of the new state are measured with an amplitude analysis to be mR = 2591 ± 6 ± 7 MeV, ΓR = 89 ± 16 ± 12 MeV, and JP = 0−, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. Fit fractions for all components in the amplitude analysis are also reported. The new resonance, denoted as Ds0(2590)+, is a strong candidate to be the Ds(21S0)+ state, the radial excitation of the pseudoscalar ground-state Ds+ meson.
The production fraction of the Bc− meson with respect to the sum of B− and B¯0 mesons is measured in both 7 and 13 TeV center-of-mass (c.m.) energy pp collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider ...(LHC), using the LHCb detector. The rate, approximately 3.7 per mille, does not change with energy, but shows a transverse momentum dependence. The Bc−−Bc+ production asymmetry is also measured and is consistent with zero within the determined statistical and systematic uncertainties of a few percent.
The production of charged hadrons within jets recoiling against a Z boson is measured in proton-proton collision data at √s = 8 TeV recorded by the LHCb experiment. The charged-hadron structure of ...the jet is studied longitudinally and transverse to the jet axis for jets with transverse momentum pT > 20 GeV and in the pseudorapidity range 2.5 < η < 4. These are the first measurements of jet hadronization at these forward rapidities and also the first where the jet is produced in association with a Z boson. In contrast to previous hadronization measurements at the Large Hadron Collider, which are dominated by gluon jets, these measurements probe predominantly light-quark jets which are found to be more longitudinally and transversely collimated with respect to the jet axis when compared to the previous gluon dominated measurements. Therefore, these results provide valuable information on differences between quarks and gluons regarding nonperturbative hadronization dynamics.
