Extending a previous analysis1 the double charmonium production [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] has been investigated with a data set of 155 fb-1 with the Belle detector. Theoretical predictions for the cross section are one order of magnitude lower than the measured value and this discrepancy is still not understood. In a very recent update with a dataset of 285 fb-1 strong evidence for a new charmonium state at a mass of 3.940 GeV was found.

The two-pion production in pp-collisions has been investigated in exclusive measurements from threshold up to Tp = 1.36 GeV . Total and differential cross sections have been obtained for the channels pnπ+π0, ppπ+π-, ppπ0π0 and also nnπ+π+. For intermediate incident energies Tp > 1 GeV , i.e. in the region, which is beyond the Roper excitation but at the onset of ΔΔ excitation the total ppπ0π0 cross section falls behind theoretical predictions by as much as an order of magnitude near 1.2 GeV, whereas the nnπ+π+ cross section is a factor of five larger than predicted. A model-unconstrained isospin decompostion of the cross section points to a significant contribution of an isospin 3/2 resonance other than the Δ(1232). As a possible candidate the Δ(1600) is discussed.

The measurements of hadronic form factors of three modes using the data samples collected with the BESIII detector at BEPCII collider are presented. The cross section of e+e- → p p̅ at 12 energies from 2232.4 to 3671.0 MeV are measured, the electromagnetic form factor is deduced, and the ratio |GE/GM| is extracted by fitting the polar angle distribution. The preliminary results about the form factors of e+e- → ∧c+ ⊼c- will also be described. The cross section of e+e- → π+ π-between effective center-of-mass energy 600 and 900 MeV is measured by the ISR return method using the data set with the integrated luminosity of 2.93 fb-1 taken at ψ(3773) peak, the pion form factor is extracted.

This paper proposes an advanced approach to the analysis of reinforced-shell aircraft structures. This approach, denoted as Component-Wise (CW), is developed by using the Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF). CUF is a hierarchical formulation allowing for the straightforward implementation of any-order one-dimensional (1D) beam theories. Lagrange-like polynomials are used to discretize the displacement field on the cross-section of each component of the structure. Depending on the geometrical and material characteristics of the component, the capabilities of the model can be enhanced and the computational costs can be kept low through smart discretization strategies. The global mathematical model of complex structures (e.g. wings or fuselages) is obtained by assembling each component model at the cross-section level. Next, a classical 1D finite element (FE) formulation is used to develop numerical applications. It is shown that MSC/PATRAN can be used as pre- and post-processor for the CW models, whereas MSC/NASTRAN DMAP alters can be used to solve both static and dynamic problems. A number of typical aeronautical structures are analyzed and CW results are compared to classical beam theories (Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko), refined models and classical solid/shell FE solutions from the commercial code MSC/NASTRAN. The results highlight the enhanced capabilities of the proposed formulation. In fact, the CW approach is clearly the natural tool to analyze wing structures, since it leads to results that can be only obtained through three-dimensional elasticity (solid) elements whose computational costs are at least one-order of magnitude higher than CW models.

It is shown that Sudakov form factors for a color dipole in a QCD-inspired model of leptoproduction of vector mesons reduce the value of the cross-section of the process by an order of magnitude. They suppress the large size quark–antiquark pairs and unequal sharing of energy among the components of the dipole. Some freedom in the choice of the model parameters is also discussed.

ABSTRACTOne very important problem concerning erbium-doped silicon is the electronic structure of the Er3+ impurities. In particular, it is still not clear if the 4f levels can be treated as frozen core levels or their overlap with s and p states of their neighbors must be considered explicitly. For crystalline Si, the 4f levels have been supposed to be anywhere between 20 eV below the valence band and within the energy gap. In this paper we report on the first ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS) measurements on Er-doped a-Si:H. Samples of a-Si:H<Er> with different Er contents (up to 1 at. % Er) were prepared by co-sputtering from a Si target partially covered with metallic Er platelets. In order to enhance the Er states relative to the Si and H states, the excitation energy was tuned between 40 and 140 eV with a synchrotron light source. At 140 eV excitation energy the cross-section of the Er 4f and 5p states is more than an order of magnitude higher than the cross section of the Si 3s or 3p states. As the Er concentration increases, a shoulder and then a peak appears at 10.0±0.5 eV binding energy. The intensity and width of this peak is well correlated with the Er concentration, and with the Er 5p and 5p½ levels at 26 and 32 eV binding energy, respectively. We attribute the peak at 10.0±0.5 eV binding energy to the Er 4f level. These are the only occupied states that can be related to the presence of Er, indicating that these levels are not valence states and consequently can be treated as frozen core levels.

Purpose – The aim of this study is to examine the impact of technical and fundamental (referred to as firm-specific) factors on the cross-sectional variation in equity returns on the Johannesburg Securities Exchange (JSE). Design/methodology/approach – To reach the objective, the study follows an empirical research approach. Cross-sectional regression analyses, factor-portfolio analyses and multifactor analyses are performed using 50 firm-specific factors for listed shares over three sample periods during 1994 to 2011. Findings – The results suggest that a strong value and momentum effect is present and robust on the JSE, while a size effect is present but varies over time. Multifactor analyses show that value and momentum factors are collectively significant in explaining the cross-section of returns. The results imply that the JSE is either not an efficient market or that current market risk models are incorrectly specified. Practical implications – The findings of the study offers practical application possibilities to investment analysts and portfolio managers. Originality/value – To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to use such a comprehensive data set for the specific analyses on the JSE over such a long period. All previously identified statistical biases are addressed in this study. Different approaches are applied to compare results and test for robustness for the first time.

Estimation equations for carcass composition were obtained using the information extracted from the carcass cross section by Computer Image Analysis (CIA). The total kilograms of lean, fat, and bone, and their percentages, were measured on the left side of the carcasses of F1 (cross-bred between Japanese Black and Holstein) steers by physical dissection. Traced data of the cross section between the 5th and 6th ribs (Data set I) and pictures of carcass cross section between the 7th and 8th ribs (Data set II) were subjected to image analysis. Various information on both the individual muscles and the overall outline of the cross section was extracted by the CIA technique. Maximum R2 improvement method of the stepwise procedure was used to choose the best regression equation to estimate carcass composition as total kilograms and percentages of lean, fat, and bone. The data sets were also adjusted for age and the stepwise procedure was also conducted. Coefficients of determination, adjusted for the degrees of freedom (adjusted R2) of the regression equations for estimating carcass composition, were high, i.e., 0.779 to 0.959 for kilograms of lean, fat, and bone, whereas for the percentages of lean, fat, and bone were high, i.e., 0.788 to 0.952, respectively. For the adjusted data, the adjusted R2 for estimating kilograms of lean, fat, and bone with Data sets I and II were 0.729, 0.633, and 0.598, and 0.813, 0.806, and 0.878, respectively, while for the percentages of lean, fat, and bone were 0.793, 0.623, and 0.378, and 0.953, 0.989, and 0.467, respectively. When the estimation equation obtained from the unadjusted Data set I was fitted with the information extracted from Data set II, the correlation coefficients between the values estimated by the equation and the values obtained by physical dissection on carcass composition were high, ranging from 0.70 to 0.92. On the other hand, the correlation coefficients obtained from the adjusted data sets were low. Key words: Estimation equation, computer image analysis, carcass composition, carcass cross section, F1 steers

We present recent results from charmonium and open charm production at the LHCb experiment at CERN, Geneva. We concentrate on studies for the measurement of the cross section pp → J/ψX in its decay channel with two muons, showing the agreement of the simulation with the data in few key distributions. We also show the reconstructed modes of D0 → K-π+, D0 → K-π+π0, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and their prospects.


Classical trajectory calculations have been used to calculate the cross-section (and hence the rate constant) for the recombination of hydrogen atoms on a third hydrogen atom, in the temperature range 500–6000 K. The model involves the stabilization of a quasi-bound molecule in an encounter with the third atom. The results indicate that the cross-section for direct stabilization is small and insensitive to the relative velocity, whereas the cross-section for exchange stabilization is large at low velocities and decreases rapidly as the relative velocity is increased. The calculated rate constant, although of the right order of magnitude at 500 K, does not exhibit the anomalous features previously observed experimentally at higher temperatures.
