A new Monte Carlo generator for BSM physics in B → K*ℓ+ℓ− decays with an application to lepton non-universality in angular distributions

Abstract Within the widely used EvtGen framework, we have added a new event generator model forB → K * ℓ + ℓ − with improved standard model (SM) decay amplitudes and possible BSM physics contributions, which are implemented in the operator product expansion in terms of Wilson coefficients. This event generator can then be used to estimate the statistical sensitivity of a simulated experiment to the most general BSM signal resulting from dimension-six operators. We describe the advantages and potential of the newly developed ‘Sibidanov Physics Generator’ in improving the experimental sensitivity of searches for lepton non-universal BSM physics and clarifying signatures. The new generator can properly simulate BSM scenarios, interference between SM and BSM amplitudes, and correlations between different BSM observables as well as acceptance bias. We show that exploiting such correlations substantially improves experimental sensitivity. As a demonstration of the utility of the MC generator, we examine the prospects for improved measurements of lepton non-universality in angular distributions forB→K * ℓ + ℓ − decays from the expected 50 ab −1 data set of the Belle II experiment, using a four-dimensional unbinned maximum likelihood fit. We describe promising experimental signatures and correlations between observables. The use of lepton-universality violating ∆-observables significantly reduces uncertainties in the SM expectations due to QCD and resonance effects and is ideally suited for Belle II with the large data sets expected in the next decade. Thanks to the clean experimental environment of ane + e − machine, Belle II should be able to probe BSM physics in the Wilson coefficientsC 7 and$$ {C}_7^{\prime } $$ C 7 ′ , which appear at lowq 2 in the di-electron channel.

Flavoured axions in the tail of B q → μ+μ- and B → γ* form factors

We discuss how LHC di-muon data collected to study B q → μμ can be used to constrain light particles with flavour-violating couplings to b -quarks. Focussing on the case of a flavoured QCD axion, a , we compute the decay rates for B q → μμa and the SM background process B q → μμγ near the kinematic endpoint. These rates depend on non-perturbative B q → γ (*) form factors with on- or off-shell photons. The off-shell form factors — relevant for generic searches for beyond-the-SM particles — are discussed in full generality and computed with QCD sum rules for the first time. This includes an extension to the low-lying resonance region using a multiple subtracted dispersion relation. With these results, we analyse available LHCb data to obtain the sensitivity on B q → μμa at present and future runs. We find that the full LHCb dataset alone will allow to probe axion-coupling scales of the order of 10 6 GeV for both b → d and b → s transitions. As a spin-off application of the off-shell form factors we further analyse the case of light, Beyond the Standard Model, vectors.

Leptonic cascade decays of a heavy Higgs boson through vectorlike leptons at the LHC

We demonstrate the potential of fully leptonic cascade decays of a heavy neutral Higgs boson through vectorlike leptons as a simultaneous probe for extended Higgs sectors and extra matter particles at the LHC. The processes we explore are unique in that their event topologies lead to di-boson-like leptonic final states with a lepton pair which does not reconstruct the mass of a gauge boson. By recasting existing $2\ell$ + $E^{\text{miss}}_{R}$ and $3/4\ell$ searches channels using run2 data from the LHC we obtain model independent bounds on the masses of heavy scalars and vectorlike leptons and use these results to explore future prospects at the HL-LHC. Our results can be directly applied to any kind of new physics scenarios sharing the final states and the event topology. For concreteness, we apply our results to a benchmark scenario: a two Higgs doublet model type-II augmented with vectorlike leptons. Remarkably, even with current data the sensitivity of our analysis shows a reach for masses of a heavy neutral Higgs and vectorlike leptons up to 2 TeV and 1.5 TeV, respectively. Even for low tan β ≳ 1, the analysis retains sensitivity to heavy Higgs masses slightly above 1 TeV. The future sensitivities at the HL-LHC extend the reach for heavy Higgses and new leptons to 2.7 TeV and 2 TeV, respectively.

A closer look at isodoublet vector leptoquark solution to the ${R}_{D^{\left(\ast \right)}}$ anomaly

We discuss a model with a SU(2) L doublet vector leptoquark (LQ), motivated by the recent experimental results relating to the lepton universality of $\overline{B}$ → D$^{(*)}$$τ\overline{ν}_τ$ We find that scalar operators predicted by the LQ are favored to explain the deviations, taking into account the recent LHCb result. We investigate the extensive phenomenology of the model and conclude that B s → $τ\overline{τ}$, B → $Kτ\overline{τ}$, B u → $τ\overline{ν}_τ$ and high-p T di- τ lepton signatures at the LHC will probe the interesting parameter region in the near future.

Forecasting dark showers at Belle II

Dark showers from strongly interacting dark sectors that confine at the GeV scale can give rise to novel signatures at e + e - colliders. In this work, we study the sensitivity of B factory experiments to dark showers produced through an effective interaction arising from a heavy off-shell mediator. We show that a prospective search for displaced vertices from GeV-scale long-lived particles at Belle II can improve the sensitivity to dark showers substantially compared to an existing search at BaBar. We compare the sensitivity of searches for displaced signals to searches for promptly produced resonances at BaBar and KLOE and calculate sensitivity projections for a single-photon search at Belle II to invisible dark showers produced through an effective interaction. The underlying structure of the effective interaction can be resolved at higher-energy experiments, where the mediator can be produced on-shell. To study the resulting constraints, we update electroweak precision bounds on kinetically mixed Z' bosons and reinterpret a search for low-mass di-muon resonances at LHCb in terms of dark showers. We find that LHCb and Belle II are most sensitive to different particle decay lengths, underscoring the complementarity of LHC and intensity frontier experiments.

Column separation of tetravalent cerium fission products from trivalent rare earth radio-isotopes

Rapid and efficient isolation of individual rare earth element (REE) radioisotopes from complex mixtures is necessary to support the fields of nuclear forensics, medical isotope production and nuclear physics measurements. The separations must be robust and generate sufficiently high purity samples for subsequent radiological analysis. Current methodologies utilize a laborious two step Ce(IV)-iodate precipitation followed by Ce(IV)-nitrate di-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid/n-heptane extraction. This work reports an alternative method to isolate Ce fission product isotopes equilibrated with milligrams of cold carrier, from the remaining REE’s using a Ce(IV)/LN-resin (Eichrom Technologies) based separation. Optimization of Ce(IV) loading, REE(III) elution volume and subsequent Ce(III) stripping step utilized 166m Ho tracer. Mixed fission product experiments provided a further test of this LN-resin method, with analysis of purified 141/144 Ce, 147 Nd and 91 Y. Overall, while decontamination factors were lower for the LN-resin method, (vs. the combined precipitation/extraction) the simplicity of the technique and the satisfactory fission product analysis results point to the efficacy of this method.

Alkylation of lignin-derived aromatic oxygenates with cyclic alcohols on acidic zeolites

Moderately strong BAS and spacious microporous environments (i.e., large-pore acidic zeolites HBEA and HY) are important criteria for efficient alkylation of phenols with cyclic alcohols and alkenes, while very strong BAS appear to be responsible for catalyst deactivation. BAS confined in HBEA and HY pores show substantially higher turnover frequencies compared to solids without molecularly sized pore constraints. HBEA favors the formation of mono-alkylates, while enhanced formation of di-alkylates is observed on HY. Dehydration of alcohols always dominates over the alkylation at the onset of the reaction. Carbenium ions, the direct electrophile for aromatic oxygenates, are produced mainly from the adsorption and protonation of olefins. The present study shows that for the alkylation of phenols and cyclic alcohols in apolar liquids, the alcohol concentration should be kept low to avoid the formation of unreactive surface dimers and mitigate their inhibitory effects on olefin adsorption and protonation.

Optimization and understanding of ZnO nanoarray supported Cu-ZnO-Al 2 O 3 catalyst for enhanced CO 2 -methanol conversion at low temperature and pressure

Cu-ZnO-Al 2 O 3 is the most widely applied catalyst for CO 2 hydrogenation to methanol. However, it is still a challenge to produce methanol using this catalyst under low-temperature (<250 °C) and low-pressure (<10 bar) conditions with desirable yield and selectivity. In this work, by tuning the experimental processing parameters such as solvent, loading amount, and annealing temperature, highly improved ZnO nanoarray supported Cu-ZnO-Al 2 O 3 catalysts have been successfully demonstrated. Here, by using organic solvent (N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), acetone, or isopropanol) for dip-coating loading process instead of deionized (DI) water, Cu-ZnO-Al 2 O 3 nanocatalysts was comparatively better dispersed on the nanorod array support with populated and abundant active sites, thus enhancing the methanol yield. With the control of the loading amount and annealing temperature, finely distributed Cu nanoparticles were obtained on the ZnO nanorod surfaces to enhance the interactions between Cu and ZnO nanorod surfaces. Further improvement of the catalyst performance is demonstrated by tuning the reaction space velocity. At 200 °C and 10 bar conditions, the optimized catalyst achieved a methanol yield of 6.46 mol h –1 kg –1 with 100 % selectivity. The good stability after prolonged testing of the catalysts demonstrates the potential practical implementation. The in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) measurements under the 1 bar reveal that the CO 2 hydrogenation to methanol on the ZnO nanoarray supported Cu-ZnO-Al 2 O 3 catalyst follows the CO reaction pathway, due to the surface oxygen vacancies on ZnO nanorods which facilitate CO 2 dissociation.

Oxadiazole derivatives as stable anolytes for >3 V non-aqueous redox flow battery

Effective utilization of energy from renewable sources such as wind and solar requires the development of long duration energy storage (LDES) systems that can accommodate intermittent energy accrual. One option under investigation is the use of a redox flow battery (RFB). A significant amount of work has explored aqueous RFB systems with a variety of inorganic and organic carriers. However, moving to a nonaqueous solvent such as acetonitrile (MeCN) for RFB provides a much larger electrochemical window, which could lead to increased energy density if properly utilized. Here, in this work, we investigate a series of 2,5-diphenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole (DiPhenOx) derivatives as anolytes for a redox flow battery. DiPhenOx has a low voltage redox event that, while reversible by cyclic voltammetry, was determined to be irreversible during bulk electrolysis. To improve cycling performance, we introduced various ester and cyano groups to the phenyl rings of DiPhenOx using molecular engineering. We characterized these derivatives spectroscopically and electrochemically to assess their feasibility for flow battery applications. The ester derivatives with the best cycling performance were tested in a flow cell vs. ferrocene, 2,5-di-tert-butyl-1,4-bis(2-methoxyethoxy)benzene (DBBB) and thianthrene, which resulted in ~2 V, ~3 V and ~3 V redox flow batteries, respectively.

Sorption and oxidation of Co(II) at the surface of birnessite: Impacts of aqueous Mn(II)

The sorption of aqueous Mn(II) (1 mM) and Co(II) (50 and 200 μM) onto hexagonal birnessite (0.1 g L –1 ) was studied under anoxic conditions at pH 6.5 and 7.5 in binary and ternary experiments using batch kinetic experiments and XRD, ATR-FTIR, and Co K-edge EXAFS analyses. In the binary systems, sorption of Co(II) was accompanied by partial oxidation to Co(III) yielding a mixture of corner-sharing Co(II) and edge-sharing Co(III) complexes at both pH values, while Mn(II)-birnessite interaction resulted in coordination of Mn(II/III) at layer vacancy sites at pH 6.5, and led to reductive transformation of birnessite into feitknechtite at pH 7.5. In the ternary systems, strong mutual interferences between Co(II) and Mn(II) co-sorbates reduced the rate and extent of sorption relative to the binary experiments. The introduction of Mn(II) aq into the high-Co systems (200 μM) halted the slow sorption of Co(II) that was attributed to the incorporation of Co(III) into layer vacancies, while Co(II) aq prevented Mn(II)-driven transformation of birnessite into feitknechtite at pH 7.5. In the low-Co system (50 μM), reductive transformation of birnessite by Mn(II) aq at pH 7.5 produced Co(II)-substituted feitknechtite, a conversion that was accompanied by reduction of sorbed Co(III) to Co(II) which was partially released to solution. The strong effects of co-sorption are attributed to the similarity in sorption mechanisms of Co(II) and Mn(II), which both sorb as a mixture of di- and trivalent species. Finally, the results of this work demonstrate that aqueous Mn(II) may significantly affect the reactivity of phyllomanganate sorbents towards dissolved Co(II), and therefore impact the speciation and solubility of this trace metal in anoxic and suboxic geochemical environments.

Rare earth element separations by high-speed counter-current chromatography

We report that following the initial development of High-Speed Counter-Current Chromatography (HSCCC) in the 1960s, several studies have explored its applicability in the separation of rare earth elements (REEs). More recently, however, HSCCC publications have transitioned towards the separation of natural products or pharmaceuticals, leaving the application for REEs largely unexplored from a practical standpoint. Herein, we expand upon prior work in this field by evaluating the suitability of HSCCC to separation of a subset of non-radioactive REEs (Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, and Y) at 10 -4 mol levels using di-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (HDEHP) in n-heptane as the stationary phase and hydrochloric acid as the mobile phase. First, the effect of flow rate on the stationary phase volume retention ratio and resolution of Nd/Sm/Eu subgroup was evaluated followed by optimization of step-gradient elution profiles resulting in additional recovery of Tb and Y within a seven-hour window. The five REEs were separated at the baseline resolution level or above. Elution profiles obtained from multiple runs across two independently operated columns and across independent runs were cross analyzed. Reproducibility in elution profiles point to future applications in radioelement separation chemistry, where both chemical and radiochemical purity are of importance.

GFCCLib: Scalable and efficient coupled-cluster Green's function library for accurately tackling many-body electronic structure problems

Coupled-cluster Green’s function (GFCC) calculation has drawn much attention in the recent years for targeting the molecular and material electronic structure problems from a many-body perspective in a systematically improvable way. However, GFCC calculations on scientific computing clusters usually suffer from expensive higher di- mensional tensor contractions in the complex space, expensive inter-process communi- cation, and severe load imbalance, which limits it’s routine use for tackling electronic structure problems. Here we present a numerical library prototype that is specifically designed for large-scale GFCC calculations. The design of the library is focused on a systematically optimal computing strategy to improve its scalability and efficiency. The performance of the library is demonstrated by the relevant profiling analysis of running GFCC calculations on remote giant computing clusters. The capability of the library is highlighted by computing a wide near valence band of a fullerene C60 molecule for the first time at the GFCCSD level that shows excellent agreement with the experimental spectrum.

Evaluating the effect of ionomer chemical composition in silver-ionomer catalyst inks toward the oxygen evolution reaction by half-cell measurements and water electrolysis

The effect of anion exchange ionomer (AEI) chemistry on the kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) was systematically studied in both half-cell and single-cell electrolysis experiments. OER was studied in 1 M K 2 CO 3 at 50°C using an array of ionomer-silver catalyst inks deposited on Ni foam. Different ionomer modifications were investigated to optimize the OER performance. The AEI used in this work features a block copolymer backbone of polychloromethylstyrene-b-polycyclooctene-b-polychloromethylstyrene which was functionalized with either benzyltrimethylammonium (TMA) or benzylmethylpiperidinium (MPRD) quaternary ammonium cations. Here, using an MPRD quaternary ammonium cation shifted the rate determining step at high overpotentials, ultimately providing enhanced performance. Increasing the catalyst ink dilution was also found to substantially improve mass activity and catalyst utilization (increase from 35 to 88 A g –1 Ag), likely by reducing the ionomer thickness and decreasing transport resistances. In the final ionomer modification, the Ni foam substrate was leveraged to partially hydrogenate the polycyclooctene midblock to be polyethylene-like at the Ni interface. A significant increase in the electrochemical surface area (Cdl increased from 8.8 to 20.8 mF cm –2 ) and performance (by 47 mA cm –2 or 29 A g –1 Ag) was observed with the incorporation of polyethylene. Kinetic results from half-cell experiments were validated via single-cell anion exchange membrane electrolysis experiments, where the optimized electrode displayed enhanced performance in both 1 M K 2 CO 3 and DI H 2 O.

Understanding the p-doping of spiroOMeTAD by tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane

The solid-state organization of photoabsorber, hole and electron transporting layers, and interfaces between them plays an important role in governing the performance and stability of emerging optoelectronic devices such as perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The molecular organic semiconductor (OSC) 2,2' ,7,7' -tetrakis [N,N-di(4-methoxyphenyl)amino]-9,9'-spirobifluorene (spiroOMeTAD) is a promising hole-transporting material (HTM) for PSCs, which is p-doped by molecular dopants to augment the charge carrier mobility. Here, the p-type doping of spiroOMeTAD by tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (BCF) is investigated by a combination of techniques including optical spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), solid-state (ss)NMR, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. BCF molecules interact with traces of water molecules to form BCF-water complexes. Optical spectroscopy analysis suggests that the BCF/BCF-water complexes oxidize spiroOMeTAD molecules and facilitate p-type doping of spiroOMeTAD molecules. The different distributions of BCF and BCF-water molecules in doped spiroOMeTAD are characterized by FTIR and 11B NMR spectroscopy. An NMR crystallography approach which combines two-dimensional (2D) ssNMR and crystallography modeling is employed to unravel the packing interactions in spiroOMeTAD, and this analysis is extended to probe the morphological and structural changes in spiroOMeTAD:BCF blends. The hyperfine interactions are characterized by 2D hyperfine sub-level correlation (HYSCORE) spectroscopy. In this way, insight into the complex spiroOMeTAD:BCF blend morphology is obtained and compared for different dopant concentrations. Further, molecular-level analysis of doped HTMs enabled by this study has much wider relevance for further investigation, for example, chemical design and interfacial engineering of p-type doped HTMs for stable and efficient hybrid perovskite photovoltaics.

A portable application framework for energy management and information systems (EMIS) solutions using Brick semantic schema

This paper introduces a portable framework for developing, scaling and maintaining energy management and information systems (EMIS) applications using an ontology-based approach. Key contributions include an interoperable layer based on Brick schema, the formalization of application constraints pertaining metadata and data requirements, and a field demonstration. The framework allows for querying metadata models, fetching data, preprocessing, and analyzing data, thereby offering a modular and flexible workflow for application development. Its effectiveness is demonstrated through a case study involving the development and implementation of a data-driven anomaly detection tool for the photovoltaic systems installed at the Politecnico di Torino, Italy. During eight months of testing, the framework was used to tackle practical challenges including: (i) developing a machine learning-based anomaly detection pipeline, (ii) replacing data-driven models during operation, (iii) optimizing model deployment and retraining, (iv) handling critical changes in variable naming conventions and sensor availability (v) extending the pipeline from one system to additional ones.

Differential effects of drought on nonstructural carbohydrate storage in seedlings and mature trees of four species in a subtropical forest

Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) play important roles in forest vulnerability to climate change, especially under increasing drought intensity and frequency. Understanding NSC dynamics is essential for accurately predicting the resistance and resilience of forests in response to drought. However, our knowledge of NSC re-sponses to drought is still limited due to the lack of research in trees of di?erent life stages. In this study, we conducted a throughfall exclusion experiment (TFE) with four subtropical evergreen tree species to examine drought e?ects on NSC in mature trees and understory seedlings. Our results showed the differential effects of drought on NSC dynamics of understory seedlings and mature trees. In the TFE experiment, mature trees of all four species were relatively homoeostatic with the insigni?cantly changed NSC pools, photosynthesis, and growth under the drought treatment compared to the control. In contrast, understory seedlings displayed sig-ni?cant decreases in total NSC and soluble sugars (-14.70 ± 3.66% and -16.93 ± 3.85%, respectively) with the exception of Lithocarpus glaber (L. glaber). The seedlings of L. glaber with the highest hydraulic resistance maintained or slightly increased NSC and its components in response to drought. Our study highlights the im-portance of life stage in assessing drought e?ects of trees on NSC storage and then forest C cycling, which could be incorporated into the dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) to better understand drought effects on forest C balance in the future.

The quest for efficient oxygenated fuels: Examining interactions between lubricant components and oxygenates

This work empirically evaluated oxygenated blendstock-lubricant compatibility using a novel but simple method. The reactivity or compatibility was evaluated via gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector (GC-FID) before and after heating for 2h at 150 °C, which would roughly mimic conditions encountered in the combustion chamber of an Spark Ignition (SI) or Compression-Ignition (CI) engine. Five oxygenate blendstocks spanning several functional groups and chain lengths (prenol, isoprenol, butyl acetate, isohexanol, polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers) were evaluated in a base fuel with nine variations of lubricant components of controlled concentrations, including fully formulated commercial lubricants. Baseline comparative examples were also generated, to decouple the effect of the oxygenate on the mixture, by heating only the base fuel with the lubricant component. Results demonstrate the relative compatibility between noted lubricants and oxygenates in base fuel upon heating. This was illustrated by minimal to no changes in the GC-FID traces. However, reactions of several of the chosen lubricants, especially Molybdenum di (2-ethylhexyl) phosphorodithioate (Molyvan L) and zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP), with prenol and polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers blendstocks showed substantial side reactions compared to corresponding baseline examples. Control experiments without oxygenates but comprising the same lubricant components showed no change in the mixture with heating. We concluded the incompatibility is due to the oxygenate and not the components of the base fuel. This preliminary work is valuable in establishing trends as well as provide useful information when a new component is introduced in the fuel.

Lignin-based jet fuel and its blending effect with conventional jet fuel

Sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) must demonstrate specific physical and chemical properties as well as material compatibility (i.e., seal swell) to be used as an aviation turbine fuel. Several alternative jet fuels incorporated in ASTM D7566 are comprised mainly of n/iso-alkanes and can only be blended up to 50 vol% due to material compatibility and density issues. Prior work illustrated the ability of cycloalkanes to replace aromatics’s role in material compatibility. Here, we report the first archival documentation of a feedstock and chemical process to yield a product composition able to complement existing SAF ASTM D7566 annexes. A lignin-based jet fuel (LJF) blend components is generated and composed of mostly C7-C18 mono, di, and tri-cycloalkanes. The neat LJF was blended with conventional jet fuel at 10 vol% (LJF blend) to simulate an ASTM “Fast Track” evaluation process. Fuel properties that are critical to engine operability (ATSM D4054 Tier 3 & 4) were either predicted or experimental tested based on the volume availability. All LJF blend’s critical properties fall within the experience range of conventional jet fuel, with o-ring swelling exceeding the typical range of conventional fuels. Here, these results in total support the potential use of this LJF pathway to complement other SAF pathways and achieve 100% drop-in SAF.
