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 ...

CryoGAN: A New Reconstruction Paradigm for Single-Particle Cryo-EM Via Deep Adversarial Learning

Michaël Unser, Laurène Donati, Harshit Gupta, Michael Thompson McCann

We present CryoGAN, a new paradigm for single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) reconstruction based on unsupervised deep adversarial learning. In single-particle cryo-EM, the structure of a biomolecule needs to be reconstructed from a large set ...

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 ...

Observation of a new baryon state in the Lambda(0)(b)pi(+)pi(-) mass spectrum

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

A new baryon state is observed in the Lambda(0)(b)pi(+)pi(-) mass spectrum with high significance using a data sample of pp collisions, collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies root s = 7, 8 and 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated lum ...

Measurement of the Charm-Mixing Parameter y(CP)

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

A measurement of the charm-mixing parameter Y-CP using D-0 -> K+K-, D-0 -> pi(+)pi(-), and D-0 -> K-pi(+)decays is reported. The D-0 mesons are required to originate from semimuonic decays of B- and (B) over bar (0)mesons. These decays are partially recons ...

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 ...
