Lesya Shchutska, Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Tatsuya Nakada, François Fleuret, John Martin Kolinski, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang

This article presents the first measurement of the differential Z-boson production cross-section in the forward region using proton-lead collisions with the LHCb detector. The dataset was collected at a nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy of root(NN)-N-s ...

Amplitude analysis of the D+-> pi(-)pi(+)pi(+) decay and measurement of the pi(-)pi(+) S-wave amplitude

Lesya Shchutska, Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Tatsuya Nakada, François Fleuret, John Martin Kolinski, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang

An amplitude analysis of the D+-> (-)pi(+)pi(+) decay is performed with a sample corresponding to 1.5 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy root s = 8 TeV collected by the LHCb detector in 2012. The sample contains app ...

First branching fraction measurement of the suppressed decay Xi(0)(c) -> pi(-) Lambda(+)(c)

Lesya Shchutska, Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Yiming Li, Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Christoph Frei, Tatsuya Nakada, François Fleuret, John Martin Kolinski

The Xi(0)(c) baryon is unstable and usually decays into charmless final states by the c -> sud transition. It can, however, also disintegrate into a pi(-) meson and a Lambda(+)(c) baryon via s quark decay or via cs -> dc weak scattering. The interplay betw ...

Study of coherent J/psi production in lead-lead collisions at root s(NN)=5 TeV with the LHCb experiment

Olivier Schneider, Guido Haefeli, Aurelio Bay, Christoph Frei, Frédéric Blanc, Tatsuya Nakada, Michel De Cian, Luca Pescatore, François Fleuret, Elena Graverini

Coherent production of J/psi mesons is studied in lead-lead collision data at a nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy of 5 TeV collected by the LHCb experiment. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of about 10 mu b(-1). The J/psi, mesons ar ...

Search for the rare decay B+ -> mu(+) mu(-) mu(+)nu(mu)

Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Yiming Li, Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Christoph Frei, Tatsuya Nakada, François Fleuret, John Martin Kolinski, Luca Pescatore

A search for the rare leptonic decay B +. mu + mu - mu +.mu is performed using proton- proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb - 1 collected by the LHCb experiment. The search is carried out in the region where the lowest ...

Study of the B-0 (770)degrees K-*(892)(0) decay with an amplitude analysis of B-0 ((+-))(K+pi(-)) decays

Olivier Schneider, Guido Haefeli, Yiming Li, Christoph Frei, Aurelio Bay, Frédéric Blanc, Tatsuya Nakada, Michel De Cian, Luca Pescatore, François Fleuret

An amplitude analysis of B-0 ((+-))(K+-) decays is performed in the two-body invariant mass regions 300 < m((+-)) < 1100 MeV/c(2), accounting for the (0), , f(0)(500), f(0)(980) and f(0)(1370) resonances, and 750 < m(K+-) < 1200 MeV/c(2), which is dominate ...

Search for CP violation using triple product asymmetries in Lambda(0)(b) -> pK(-) pi(+) pi(-), Lambda(0)(b) -> pK(-) K+ K- and Xi(0)(b) -> pK(-) K- pi(+) decays

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Guido Haefeli, Aurelio Bay, Frédéric Blanc, Tatsuya Nakada, Michel De Cian, Christoph Frei, Luca Pescatore, Elena Graverini

A search for CP and P violation using triple- product asymmetries is performed with Lambda(0)(b) -> pK(-) pi(+) pi(-), Lambda(0)(b) -> pK(-) K+ K- and Xi(0)(b) -> pK(-) K- pi(+) decays. The data sample corresponds to integrated luminosities of 1.0 fb(-1) a ...

The climate of Europe during the Holocene: a gridded pollen-based reconstruction and its multi-proxy evaluation

Jed Oliver Kaplan, Basil Andrew Stansfield Davis, Pamela Collins, Achille Mauri

We present a new gridded climate reconstruction for Europe for the last 12,000 years based on pollen data. The reconstruction is an update of Davis et al. (2003) using the same methodology, but with a greatly expanded fossil and surface-sample dataset and ...

The influence of atmospheric circulation on the mid-Holocene climate of Europe: a data-model comparison

Jed Oliver Kaplan, Basil Andrew Stansfield Davis, Pamela Collins, Achille Mauri

The atmospheric circulation is a key area of uncertainty in climate model simulations of future climate change, especially in mid-latitude regions such as Europe where atmospheric dynamics have a significant role in climate variability. It has been propose ...
