Ziel dieser Arbeit war, mittels einer (n,γ)-Aktivierung, 129Te zu erzeugen und eine Teilchenzahlbestimmung durchzuführen. Aktivierung der Probe am Forschungsreaktor TRIGA und Spektrenaufnahme mittels eines HPGe-Detektors erfolgten im Mai 2014 am Institut für Kernchemie der Johannes Gutenberg Universität in Mainz.
Die Teilchenzahl des Tochternuklids 129I kann anhand der Teilchenzahlen des Isomers und des Grundzustandes von 129Te berechnet werden. In den Aktivierungen #2 bis #6 wurden (14.27 ± 0.53)x10exp12 Iodnuklide erzeugt. Angegeben ist die maximal mögliche Anzahl von Iodteilchen bei unendlich langer Wartezeit und vollständigem Zerfall aller Tellurnuklide.
Beobachtet werden konnte die Abnahme der Grundzustandsaktivität bis zum Erreichen des Gleichgewichts aus Nachbevölkerung durch das Isomer und Zerfall. Die Grundzustandslinien der Energien von 459.60 keV, 487 keV, 1083 KeV und 1111 keV konnten zu dieser Untersuchung herangezogen werden. Diese 4 Linien erfüllen die erforderten Konsistenzkriterien bezüglich der Systematik und können daher zur Teilchenzahlbestimmung des Grundzustandes verwendet werden (Seite 31).
Der Einfluss der Eigenabsorption ist noch zu untersuchen, da die genaue Position der Probe im Polyethylenbehältnis nicht bestimmt werden konnte. Weiterhin ist die Datenanalyse der ersten Aktivierung aufgrund des Detektorwechsels noch nicht erfolgt. Der Austausch war wegen technischer Probleme notwendig. Ziel weiterführender Untersuchungen ist, eine erneute Halbwertszeitbestimmung des radioaktiven 129I vorzunehmen. Sie ist von Interesse, angesichts des Widerspruchs zweier Veröffentlichungen. Die Halbwertszeit des 129I kann Aufschluss über stellare Bedingungen des s-Prozesses geben.
Using 10.1 × 109 J/ψ events produced by the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCII) at a center-of-mass energy √s = 3.097 GeV and collected with the BESIII detector, we present a search for the rare semi-leptonic decay J/ψ → D−e+νe + c.c. No excess of signal above background is observed, and an upper limit on the branching fraction ℬ(J/ψ → D−e+νe + c. c.) < 7.1 × 10−8 is obtained at 90% confidence level. This is an improvement of more than two orders of magnitude over the previous best limit.
The process e+e−→ϕη is studied at 22 center-of-mass energy points (√s) between 2.00 and 3.08 GeV using 715 pb−1 of data collected with the BESIII detector. The measured Born cross section of e+e−→ϕη is found to be consistent with BABAR measurements, but with improved precision. A resonant structure around 2.175 GeV is observed with a significance of 6.9σ with mass (2163.5±6.2±3.0) MeV/c2 and width (31.1+21.1−11.6±1.1) MeV, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.
Though immensely successful, the standard model of particle physics does not offer any explanation as to why our Universe contains so much more matter than antimatter. A key to a dynamically generated matter–antimatter asymmetry is the existence of processes that violate the combined charge conjugation and parity (CP) symmetry1. As such, precision tests of CP symmetry may be used to search for physics beyond the standard model. However, hadrons decay through an interplay of strong and weak processes, quantified in terms of relative phases between the amplitudes. Although previous experiments constructed CP observables that depend on both strong and weak phases, we present an approach where sequential two-body decays of entangled multi-strange baryon–antibaryon pairs provide a separation between these phases. Our method, exploiting spin entanglement between the double-strange Ξ− baryon and its antiparticle2 Ξ¯+
, has enabled a direct determination of the weak-phase difference, (ξP − ξS) = (1.2 ± 3.4 ± 0.8) × 10−2 rad. Furthermore, three independent CP observables can be constructed from our measured parameters. The precision in the estimated parameters for a given data sample size is several orders of magnitude greater than achieved with previous methods3. Finally, we provide an independent measurement of the recently debated Λ decay parameter αΛ (refs. 4,5). The ΛΛ¯
asymmetry is in agreement with and compatible in precision to the most precise previous measurement.
By analyzing 6.32 fb − 1 of e+ e− annihilation data collected at the center-of-mass energies between 4.178 and 4.226 GeV with the BESIII detector, we determine the branching fraction of the leptonic decay D + s → τ + ντ, with τ+ → π + π0¯ντ, to be B D + s → τ + ν τ = (5.29 ± 0.25 stat ± 0.20 syst) %. We estimate the product of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element |Vcs|and the D + s decay constant f D + s to be f D + s|Vcs| = (244.8 ± 5.8 stat ± 4.8syst) MeV, using the known values of the τ + and D + s masses as well as the D + s lifetime, together with our branching fraction measurement. Combining the value of |Vcs| obtained from a global fit in the standard model and f D + s from lattice quantum chromodynamics, we obtain f D + s = (251.6 ± 5.9 stat ± 4.9syst) MeV and |Vcs| = 0.980 ± 0.023 stat ± 0.019 syst. Using the branching fraction of B D + s → μ + νμ = (5.35±0.21)×10−3, we obtain the ratio of the branching fractions B D + s → τ + ντ/B D +s → μ+νμ = 9.89±0.71, which is consistent with the standard model prediction of lepton flavor universality.
Anisotropic collective flow of protons resulting from non-central heavy ion collisions is a unique hadronic observable providing information about the early stage of the nuclear collision. The analysis of collective flow in the energy regime between 1-2 AGeV enables the study of the phase diagram of hadronic matter at a high baryochemical potential µb, as well as the analysis of the equation of state at densities up to the threefold of the ground state density ρ0.
The algorithms of the standard event plane method and the scalar product method are used to analyse directed and elliptic flow of protons in a centrality range of 0-40 % most central events.
Prior to the analysis of experimental data, the respective influence of the reconstruction procedure on the algorithms is examined using Monte Carlo simulations based on the Ultra relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) model.
Subsequently, experimental data measured in April 2012 with the High Acceptance DiElectron Spectrometer (HADES) is analysed using both methods. About 7.3 · 109 Au+Au events at a kinetic beam energy of 1.23 AGeV, equivalent to a centre of mass energy of √sNN = 2.42 GeV were recorded. A multi-differential analysis is feasible as the HADES detector provides a good transverse momentum and rapidity coverage.
Both algorithms result in identical values for directed and elliptic flow across all centrality classes within the observable phase space of protons. The calculated integrated value of v2 at mid rapidity is in good agreement with world data.
The Born cross sections of the e+e− → D*+D*− and e+e− → D*+D− processes are measured using e+e− collision data collected with the BESIII experiment at center-of-mass energies from 4.085 to 4.600 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 15.7 fb−1. The results are consistent with and more precise than the previous measurements by the Belle, Babar and CLEO collaborations. The measurements are essential for understanding the nature of vector charmonium and charmonium-like states.
We report a measurement of the observed cross sections of e+ e− → J/ψX based on 3.21 fb − 1 of data accumulated at energies from 3.645 to 3.891 GeV with the BESIII detector operated at the BEPCII collider. In analysis of the cross sections, we measured the decay branching fractions of B(ψ(3686) → J/ψX) = (64.4 ± 0.6 ± 1.6)% and B(ψ(3770) → J/ψX) = (0.5 ± 0.2 ± 0.1)% for the first time. The energy-dependent line shape of these cross sections cannot be well described by two Breit-Wigner (BW) amplitudes of the expected decays ψ (3686) → J/ψX and ψ(3770) → J/ψX. Instead, it can be better described with one more BW amplitude of the decay R(3760)→ J/ψX. Under this assumption, we extracted the R (3760) mass M R (3760 ) = 3766.2 ± 3.8 ± 0.4 MeV/c2, total width Γ tot R ( 3760 ) = 22.2 ± 5.9 ± 1.4 MeV, and product of leptonic width and decay branching fraction
ΓeeR(3760) B[R(3760) → J/ψX] = (79.4 ± 85.5 ± 11.7) eV. The significance of the R(3760) is 5.3σ. The first uncertainties of these measured quantities are from fits to the cross sections and second systematic.
Using a sample of (10.09±0.04)×109 J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector, a partial wave analysis of J/ψ→γη′η′ is performed.The masses and widths of the observed resonances and their branching fractions are reported. The main contribution is from J/ψ→γf0(2020) with f0(2020)→η′η′, which is found with a significance of greater than 25σ. The product branching fraction B(J/ψ → γf0(2020))⋅B(f0(2020) → η′η′ is measured to be (2.63±0.06(stat.) + 0.31−0.46(syst.))×10−4.
We present the first experimental search for the rare charm decay D0→π0ν¯ν. It is based on an e+e− collision sample consisting of 10.6×10^6 pairs of D0¯D0 mesons collected by the BESIII detector at √s=3.773 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.93 fb^−1. A data-driven method is used to ensure the reliability of the background modeling. No significant D0→π0ν¯ν signal is observed in data and an upper limit of the branching fraction is set to be 2.1×10^-4 at the 90% confidence level. This is the first experimental constraint on charmed-hadron decays into dineutrino final states.
