Measurements are presented of the lifetimes of the B0, Bs0, Λb0, and Bc+ hadrons using the decay channels B0 → J/ψ K ∗(892) 0, B0 → J/ψ KS0, B s0 → J/ψ π+ π-, B s0 → J /ψ ϕ (1020), Λ b0 → J/ψ Λ0, and Bc+ → J/ψ π+. The ...

We study the problem of efficiently disseminating packets in multi-hop wireless networks. At each time slot, the network controller activates a set of non-interfering links and forward selected copies of packets on each ...

The production of b jets in association with a Z/γ*boson is studied using proton-proton collisions delivered by the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 7TeV and recorded by the CMS detector. The inclusive cross section for ...

We present measurements of the charge balance function, from the charged particles, for diverse pseudorapidity and transverse momentum ranges in Au + Au collisions at sqrt(s N N ) = 200 GeV using the STAR detector at RHIC. ...

An angular analysis and a measurement of the differential branching fraction of the decay B[subscript s][superscript o] → ϕμ⁺μ⁻ are presented, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb⁻¹ of pp collisions ...

We study the virtual geometry of the moduli spaces of curves and sheaves on K3 surfaces in primitive classes. Equivalences relating the reduced Gromov-Witten invariants of K3surfaces to characteristic numbers of stable ...

We define a new diffusive matrix model converging towards the β -Dyson Brownian motion for all β ∈ [0 , 2] that provides an explicit construction of β -ensembles of ran- dom matrices that is invariant under the orthogonal/unitary ...

The CP asymmetry in the mixing of B[superscript 0][subscript s] and [bar over B][superscript 0][subscript s] mesons is measured in proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0  fb[superscript ...

Shannon proved in 1949 that information-theoretic-secure encryption is possible if the encryption key is used only once, is random, and is at least as long as the message itself. Notwithstanding, when information is encoded ...

We present a variable variance Preisach model that fully accounts for the different magnetization processes of a multilayer structure with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy by adjusting the evolution of the interaction ...
