Search for long-lived particles decaying to e(+/-)mu(-/+)nu

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

Long-lived particles decaying to e(+/-) mu(-/+)nu, with masses between 7 and 50 GeV/c(2) and lifetimes between 2 and 50 ps, are searched for by looking at displaced vertices containing electrons and muons of opposite charges. The search is performed using ...

Evidence of a J/psi Lambda structure and observation of excited Xi(-) states in the Xi(-)(b) -> J/psi Lambda K- decay

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

First evidence of a structure in the J/psi Lambda invariant mass distribution is obtained from an amplitude analysis of Xi(-)(b) -> J/psi Lambda K- decays. The observed structure is consistent with being due to a charmonium pentaquark with strangeness with ...

Crystal-Size-Induced Band Gap Tuning in Perovskite Films

Michael Graetzel, Wolfgang Richard Tress, Amita Ummadisingu, Simone Meloni

A comprehensive picture explaining the effect of the crystal size in metal halide perovskite films on their opto-electronic characteristics is currently lacking. We report that perovskite nanocrystallites exhibit a wider band gap due to concurrent quantum ...
