Number of J/ψ events at BESIII*

Using inclusive decays of $J/\psi $, a precise determination of the number of $J/\psi $ events collected with the BESIII detector was performed. For the two data sets taken in 2009 and 2012, the numbers of $J/\psi $ events were recalculated to be $ (224.0 \pm 1.3)\times10^6 $ and $ (1088.5 \pm 4.4)\times10^6 $, respectively; these numbers are in good agreement with the previous measurements. For the $J/\psi $ sample taken in 2017–2019, the number of events was determined to be $ (8774.0 \pm 39.4)\times10^{6} $. The total number of $J/\psi $ events collected with the BESIII detector was determined to be $ (10087 \pm 44)\times10^{6} $, where the uncertainty is dominated by systematic effects, and the statistical uncertainty is negligible.

Uncertainty quantification of collective nuclear observables from the chiral potential parametrization

We perform an uncertainty estimate of quadrupole moments and B(E2) transition rates that inform nuclear collectivity. In particular, we study the low-lying states of 6 Li and 12 C using the ab initio symmetry-adapted no-core–shell model. For a narrow standard deviation of approximately 1% on the low-energy constants which parametrize high-precision chiral potentials, we find output standard deviations in the collective observables ranging from approximately 3%–6%. The results mark the first step towards a rigorous uncertainty quantification of collectivity in nuclei that aims to account for all sources of uncertainty in ab initio descriptions of challenging collective and clustering observables.

Measurement of CP asymmetries in ${D}_{(s)}^{+}\to \eta {\pi}^{+}$ and ${D}_{(s)}^{+}\to {\eta}^{\prime }{\pi}^{+}$ decays

Searches for CP violation in the decays ${D}_{(s)}^{+}\to \eta {\pi}^{+}$ and ${D}_{(s)}^{+}\to {\eta}^{\prime }{\pi}^{+}$ are performed using pp collision data corresponding to 6 fb –1 of integrated luminosity collected by the LHCb experiment. The calibration channels ${D}_{(s)}^{+}\to \phi {\pi}^{+}$ are used to remove production and detection asymmetries. The resulting CP-violating asymmetries are $\mathcal{A}^{CP} = (D^+ \to ηπ^+) = (0.34 ± 0.66 ± 0.16 ± 0.05)$ %, $\mathcal{A}^{CP} = (D^+_s \to ηπ^+) = (0.32 ± 0.51 ± 0.12)$ %, $\mathcal{A}^{CP} = (D^+ \to η'π^+) = (0.49 ± 0.18 ± 0.06 ± 0.05)$ %, $\mathcal{A}^{CP} = (D^+_s \to η'π^+) = (0.01 ± 0.12 ± 0.08)$ %, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic and the third, relevant for the D + channels, is due to the uncertainty on ${\mathcal{A}}^{CP}=\left({D}^{+}\to \phi {\pi}^{+}\right)$. These measurements, currently the most precise for three of the four channels considered, are consistent with the absence of CP violation. A combination of these results with previous LHCb measurements is presented.

Measurement of CP asymmetries and branching-fraction ratios for B ± → DK ± and Dπ ± with D → $ {K}_{\textrm{S}}^0 $ K ± π ∓ using Belle and Belle II data

We measure CP asymmetries and branching-fraction ratios for B ± → DK ± and Dπ ± decays with D → $K$$^{0}_{S}$ K ± π ∓ , where D is a superposition of D 0 and $\overline{D}$ 0 . We use the full data set of the Belle experiment, containing 772 × 10 6 $B$$\overline{B}$ pairs, and data from the Belle II experiment, containing 387 × 10 6 $B$$\overline{B}$ pairs, both collected in electron-positron collisions at the Υ(4S) resonance. Our results provide model-independent information on the unitarity triangle angle Φ 3 .

Harvesting krypton isotopes from the off-gas of an irradiated water target to generate 76Br and 77Br

Abstract A flowing-water target was irradiated with a 150 MeV/nucleon beam of 78 Kr at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory to produce 77 Kr and 76 Kr. Real-time gamma-imaging measurements revealed the mass transport of the krypton radioisotopes through the target-water processing, or “isotope harvesting”, system. The production rates were determined to be 2.7(1) × 10 –4 nuclei of 76 Kr and 1.18(6) × 10 –2 nuclei of 77 Kr formed per incident 78 Kr ion. Utilizing an off-gas processing line as part of the isotope harvesting system, a total of 7.2(1) MBq of 76 Kr and 19.1(6) MBq of 77 Kr were collected in cold traps. Through the decay, the daughter radionuclides 76 Br and 77 Br were generated and removed from the traps with an average efficiency of 77 ± 12%. Due to the differences in half-lives of 76 Kr and 77 Kr, it was possible to isolate a pure sample of 76 Br with 99.9% radionuclidic purity. The successful collection of krypton radioisotopes to generate 76 Br and 77 Br demonstrates the feasibility of gas-phase isotope harvesting from irradiated accelerator cooling-water. Larger-scale collections are planned for collecting by-product radionuclides from the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams.

Study of the decays χ c J → Λ Λ ¯ ϕ

Based on ( 2712.4 ± 14.3 ) × 10 6 e + e − → ψ ( 3686 ) events collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII Collider, we report the first evidence of χ c 0 → Λ Λ ¯ ϕ decays and the first observation of χ c 1 , 2 → Λ Λ ¯ ϕ decays, with significances of 4.1 σ , 11.3 σ and 13.0 σ , respectively. The decay branching fractions of χ c 0 , 1 , 2 → Λ Λ ¯ ϕ are measured to be ( 2.99 ± 1.24 ± 0.19 ) × 10 − 5 , ( 6.01 ± 0.90 ± 0.40 ) × 10 − 5 , and ( 7.13 ± 0.81 ± 0.36 ) × 10 − 5 , where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. No obvious enhancement near the Λ Λ ¯ production threshold or excited Λ state is found in the Λ ϕ (or Λ ¯ ϕ ) system. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Comprehensive Measurement of the Reactor Antineutrino Spectrum and Flux at Daya Bay

This Letter reports the precise measurement of the reactor antineutrino spectrum and flux based on the full dataset of 4.7 ×10 6 inverse-beta-decay candidates collected at Daya Bay near detectors. Expressed in terms of the inverse-beta-decay yield per fission, the antineutrino spectra from all reactor fissile isotopes and the specific 235 U and 239 Pu isotopes are measured with 1.3%, 3%, and 8% uncertainties, respectively, near the 3 MeV spectrum peak in reconstructed energy, reaching the best precision in the world. The total antineutrino flux and isotopic 235 U and 239 Pu fluxes are precisely measured to be 5.84 ± 0.07, 6.16 ± 0.12, and 4.16 ± 0.21 in units of 10 −43 cm 2 /fission. These measurements are compared with the Huber-Mueller model, the reevaluated conversion model based on the Kurchatov Institute measurement, and the latest summation model (SM2023). Furthermore, the Daya Bay flux shows good consistency with the Kurchatov Institute and SM2023 models but disagrees with the Huber-Mueller model. The Daya Bay spectrum, however, disagrees with all model predictions.

Robust extraction of power corrections and nuclear dynamics from DIS at large $x$

We present recent updates from the CTEQ-JLab (CJ) global PDF analysis, focusing on the interplay and implementation systematics of the HT and offshell correction (CJ22ht). We also discuss preliminary results of the CJ25 global analysis, showing the impact of the full JLab 6 GeV datasets, that we recently collected in a comprehensive DIS database, and having a first look at early JLab 12 GeV measurements. We finally offer a few thoughts on how future data may help unraveling the nuclear and partonic dynamics in light nuclei.

SPRUCE Plot-Level Water Table Data Assessments for Absolute Elevations and Height with Respect to Mean Hollows Beginning in 2015

This data set provides a record of the half-hourly automated water table depth data collected for 12 SPRUCE plots (4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 20, and 21) beginning during deep peat heating (DPH) in 2015 and continuing throughout the whole ecosystem warming (WEW) manipulations for the SPRUCE Project (Hanson et al. 2017). The data currently cover 2015-05-12 through 2024-12-31 and will be updated periodically throughout the duration of the SPRUCE project. Also provided are daily plot normalized data for water table depths with respect to mean hollow locations within each plot. The hollow referenced data provide the basis for the intercomparison of peat saturation or aeration across treatment plots. A limited data set for manual water table observations made periodically from 2015-2022 are also provided as a reference to the plot center automated observations. In August 2015, WEW was initiated at 5 warming levels (+0, +2. +4.5, +6.75 and +9 °C) with 2 plots per warming level. DPH measurements were underway before the initiation of WEW heating treatments and both are expected to operate through 2025. Elevated CO2 treatments were added in June 2016 (Enclosures 4, 10, 11, 16 and 19). All measurements were made at the 8.1-ha S1 bog forest site in northern Minnesota, 40 km north of Grand Rapids, in the USDA Forest Service Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF). This dataset contains three data files in comma separated (*.csv) format.

Integrative SP3 Workflow for Multi-PTM Proteomics Profiling (TZ-DP0)

The goal of the experiment was to demonstrate that the optimized multiplexed multi-PTM profiling workflow can comprehensively and quantitatively capture dynamic changes in protein abundance, cysteine oxidation, phosphorylation, and acetylation in cytokine-induced inflammatory stress in mouse pancreatic ß-cells. Global proteomic, redox proteomic, phosphoproteomic, and acetylomic were data collected from mouse Beta-TC-6 pancreatic Beta-cells, untreated (mock) and cytokine-treated Beta-cells at 4, 8, and 24 hours with 4 biological replicates. Samples were digested with trypsin and Lys-C, then analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Data were searched with MS-GF+, MASIC, and MaxQuant using PNNL's DMS processing pipeline.

KBase Narrative - Draft Genome of Roseomonas Strain GC11

This narrative was used for the draft genome of a Roseomonas species Strain GC11. This genus includes 6 known species. The specimen was collected using a water grab method in Conservancy Park, a freshwater site in Belleview, KY. This species is often identified in aquatic environments and is a known pathogen to humans1. It has been reported in healthcare settings from bacteremia in the blood and has also been reported to be found in human catheters. Due to the the prevelance as a human pathogen and lack of isolation in a non-human environment this strain was of particular interest.

Search for Multi-flare Neutrino Emissions in 10 yr of IceCube Data from a Catalog of Sources

A recent time-integrated analysis of a catalog of 110 candidate neutrino sources revealed a cumulative neutrino excess in the data collected by IceCube between 2008 April 6 and 2018 July 10. This excess, inconsistent with the background hypothesis in the Northern Hemisphere at the 3.3σ level, is associated with four sources: NGC 1068, TXS 0506+056, PKS 1424+240, and GB6 J1542+6129. Here, this Letter presents two time-dependent neutrino emission searches on the same data sample and catalog: a point-source search that looks for the most significant time-dependent source of the catalog by combining space, energy, and time information of the events, and a population test based on binomial statistics that looks for a cumulative time-dependent neutrino excess from a subset of sources. Compared to previous time-dependent searches, these analyses enable a feature to possibly find multiple flares from a single direction with an unbinned maximum-likelihood method. M87 is found to be the most significant time-dependent source of this catalog at the level of 1.7σ post-trial, and TXS 0506+056 is the only source for which two flares are reconstructed. The binomial test reports a cumulative time-dependent neutrino excess in the Northern Hemisphere at the level of 3.0σ associated with four sources: M87, TXS 0506+056, GB6 J1542+6129, and NGC 1068.

Unexpected Rise in Nuclear Collectivity from Short-Range Physics

We discover a surprising relation between the collective motion of nucleons within atomic nuclei, traditionally understood to be driven by long-range correlations, and short-range nucleon-nucleon interactions. Specifically, we find that quadrupole collectivity in low-lying states of 6 Li and 12 C, calculated with state-of-the-art ab initio techniques, is significantly influenced by two opposing 𝑆-wave contact couplings that subtly alter the surface oscillations of one largely deformed nuclear shape, without changing that shape’s overall contribution within the nucleus. The results offer new insights into the nature of emergent nuclear collectivity and its link to the underlying nucleon-nucleon interaction at short distances.

Neutral pion reconstruction using machine learning in the experiment at 〈E ν〉 6 GeV

This paper presents a novel neutral-pion reconstruction that takes advantage of the machine learning technique of semantic segmentation using MINERvA data collected between 2013–2017, with an average neutrino energy of 6 GeV. Semantic segmentation improves the purity of neutral pion reconstruction from two γs from 70.7 ± 0.9% to 89.3 ± 0.7% and improves the efficiency of the reconstruction by approximately 40%. We demonstrate our method in a charged current neutral pion production analysis where a single neutral pion is reconstructed. This technique is applicable to modern tracking calorimeters, such as the new generation of liquid-argon time projection chambers, exposed to neutrino beams with 〈E ν〉 between 1–10 GeV. In such experiments it can facilitate the identification of ionization hits which are associated with electromagnetic showers, thereby enabling improved reconstruction of charged-current νe events arising from νμ → νe appearance.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae CellWall Remodeling in the Absence of Knr4 and Kre6 Revealed by Nano-FourierTransform Infrared Spectroscopy

The cell wall integrity (CWI) signaling pathway regulates yeast cell wall biosynthesis, cell division, and responses to external stress. The cell wall, comprised of a dense network of chitin, β-1,3- and β-1,6- glucans, and mannoproteins, is very thin, <100 nm. Alterations in cell wall composition may activate the CWI pathway. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a model yeast, was used to study the role of individual wall components in altering the structure and biophysical properties of the yeast cell wall. Near-field Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (nano-FT-IR) was used for the first direct, spectrochemical identification of cell wall composition in a background (wild-type) strain and two deletion mutants from the yeast knock-out collection: kre6Δ and knr4Δ. Killer toxin resistant 6 (Kre6) is an integral membrane protein required for biosynthesis of β-1,6-glucan, while Knr4 is a cell signaling protein involved in the control of cell wall biosynthesis, in particular, biosynthesis and deposition of chitin. Complementary spectral data were obtained with far-field (FF)-FT-IR, in transmission, and with attenuated total reflectance (ATR) spectromicroscopy with 3 –10 μm wavelength-dependent spatial resolution. The FF-FT-IR spectra of cells and spectra of isolated cell wall components showed that components of the cell body dominated transmission spectra and were still evident in ATR spectra. In contrast, the nano-FT-IR at ~25 nm spatial resolution could be used to characterize the yeast wall chemical structure. Our results show that the β-1,6-glucan content is decreased in kre6Δ, while all glucan content is decreased in the knr4Δ cell wall. The latter may be thinner than in wild type, since not only are mannan and chitin detectable by nano-FT-IR, but also lipid membranes and protein, indicative of cell interior.

UAE6 - Wind Tunnel Tests Data - UAE6 - Sequence K - Raw Data

Sequence K: Step AOA, Probes (P) This sequence was designed to quantify the 3-D blade static angle-of-attack response in the presence of rotational influences by varying the blade pitch angle. Sequence K used an upwind, rigid turbine with a 0° cone angle. The wind speeds ranged from 6 m/s to 20 m/s, and data were collected at yaw angles of 0° and 30°. The rotor rotated at 72 RPM. Blade and probe pressure measurements were collected. The teeter dampers were replaced with rigid links, and these two channels were flagged as not applicable by setting the measured values in the data file to -99999.99 Nm. The teeter link load cell was pre-tensioned to 40,000 N. The blade pitch angle ramped continuously at 0.18°/s over a wide range of increasing and decreasing pitch angles. A step sequence was also performed. The blade pitch was stepped 5°, the flow was allowed to stabilize, and the pitch angle was held for 8 seconds. Then the pitch angle step was repeated. Again, a wide range of pitch angles was obtained, both increasing and decreasing. The file lengths for this sequence varied from 96 seconds to 6 minutes, depending on the pitch angle range. Some short points were collected at 0° yaw and 3° pitch to verify the functionality of the instrumentation. The file name convention used the initial letter K, followed by two digits specifying wind speed, followed by two digits for yaw angle, followed by RU, RD, or ST, followed by the repetition digit. The angle-of-attack motion was differentiated by RU (ramp up), RD (ramp down), and ST (step down then step up). This sequence is related to sequences L and R.

UAE6 - Wind Tunnel Tests Data - UAE6 - Sequence R - Raw Data

Sequence R: Step AOA, No Probes (P) This sequence was designed to quantify the effect of the five-hole probes on the 3-D blade static angle-of-attack response in the presence of rotational influences by repeating Sequence K without five-hole probes. This test sequence used an upwind, rigid turbine with a 0° cone angle. The wind speeds ranged from 6 m/s to 20 m/s, and data were collected at yaw angles of 0° and 30°. The rotor rotated at 72 RPM. Blade pressure measurements were collected. The five-hole probes were removed and the plugs were installed. Plastic tape 0.03-mm-thick was used to smooth the interface between the plugs and the blade. The teeter dampers were replaced with rigid links, and these two channels were flagged as not applicable by setting the measured values in the data file to –99999.99 Nm. The teeter link load cell was pre-tensioned to 40,000 N. During post-processing, the probe channels were set to read –99999.99. The blade pitch angle ramped continuously at 0.18°/s over a wide range of increasing and decreasing pitch angles. A step sequence was also performed. The blade pitch was stepped 5°; the flow was allowed to stabilize; and the pitch angle was held for 5 seconds. Then the pitch angle step was repeated. Again, a wide range of pitch angles was obtained, both increasing and decreasing. The file lengths for this sequence varied from 96 seconds to 6 minutes, depending on the pitch angle range. Some short points were collected at 0° yaw and 3° pitch to ascertain the functionality of the instrumentation and repeatability over time. The file name convention used the initial letter R, followed by two digits specifying wind speed, followed by two digits for yaw angle, followed by RU, RD, or ST, followed by the repetition digit. The angle of attack motion was differentiated by RU (ramp up), RD (ramp down), and ST (step down, then step up). This sequence is related to Sequences K and L.
