Measurement of the Z boson production cross-section in proton-lead collisions at root(NN)-N-s=8.16 TeV

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 ...

High-resolution tungsten spectroscopy relevant to the diagnostic of high-temperature tokamak plasmas

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Henri Weisen, Alessandro Pau

The x-ray transitions in Cu- and Ni-like tungsten ions in the 5.19-5.26 angstrom wavelength range that are relevant as a high-temperature tokamak diagnostic, in particular for JET in the ITER-like wall configuration, have been studied. Tungsten spectra wer ...

Dynamic behavior of rock during its post failure stage in SHPB tests

Yang Zou, Yang Zhao, Xin Cai

In order to investigate the micro-process and inner mechanism of rock failure under impact loading, the laboratory tests were carried out on an improved split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system with synchronized measurement devices including a high-speed ...

Analytical Time-Domain Solution of Plane Wave Propagation Across a Viscoelastic Rock Joint

Lyesse Laloui, Jian Zhao, Yang Zou

The effects of viscoelastic filled rock joints on wave propagation are of great significance in rock engineering. The solutions in time domain for plane longitudinal ( P-) and transverse ( S-) waves propagation across a viscoelastic rock joint are derived ...

Wave propagation in the vicinities of rock fractures under obliquely incident wave

Lyesse Laloui, Jian Zhao, Yang Zou, Jing Li

Though obliquely incident plane wave across rock fractures has been extensively investigated by theoretical analysis, the quantitative identification of each wave emerged from fractures has not been achieved either in numerical simulation or laboratory exp ...

A Further Study on Wave Propagation Across a Single Joint with Different Roughness

Jian Zhao, Xin Chen, Yang Zou

As a key dynamic feature of the rock mass, joint results in wave attenuation when a stress wave propagates across it. An experimental study has obtained the relation between the transmission coefficient and the contact area ratio of joints with different t ...

Seismic response of rock joints under obliquely incident wave

Yang Zou

Seismic response of joints which are found to be ubiquitous in rock masses is of great interest to rock engineers, geophysicists and seismologists. In the past years, wave propagation across rock joints has been the subject of extensive theoretical and exp ...

Experimental Study on Wave Propagation Across a Rock Joint with Rough Surface

Jian Zhao, Xin Chen, Yang Zou

Joints are an important mechanical feature of rock masses. Their effect on wave propagation is significant in characterizing dynamic behaviors of discontinuous rock masses. An experimental study on wave propagation across artificial rock joint was carried ...
