Abstract

Neutrons are produced in accelerators by irradiating heavy targets with an electron or proton beam. Produced neutrons are of high energy. The purpose of our work is optimization the neutron flux by MCNP-6 code for production the thermal neutron flux using a moderator and for convertation the fast neutron flux into a thermal neutron flux. In this article, we are interested in a thermal neutron flux due it is useful for method of neutron activation analysis. In conventional sources, the moderator is usually a large volume of water or paraffin around the source. Initially, fast neutrons have energy above 1 MeV, and then slow down to energies below 1 eV.

Abstract

The production of neutrons can be carried out with the bombardment of the nuclei of heavy atoms, with accelerated and energetic particles (generally electrons). The electron collides with the target nuclei, so, 20 to 30 neutrons are produced by a process called "spallation". Several countries begin to develop neutron sources especially in the United States, Europe and Japan. The development of new measuring instruments and methods has generally increased the demand for neutron utilization in several areas, such as accelerator proton-based, where protons bombard a heavy metal target. The atoms of the target are excited, resulting in neutron emission.

Abstract

In this study, the influence of electrocoagulation pretreatment, using aluminum electrodes, of spent and prepared cutting oil emulsions (Tasfalout22B,Naftal, Algeria), at 4 % v/v, biodegradation was examined under anaerobic conditions. Moreover, non-pretreated samples were tested as well. The Automatic Methane Potential Test System (AMPTS) contained fifteen parallel reactors; each one was connected to a volumetric gas counter with an automatic acquisition system to follow gas production during biodegradation was used. Experiments were carried out in triplicate. 500 mL batch reactors were inoculated using anaerobic sludge from a municipal digester (Saint-Brieuc, France), at an inoculum to substrate ratio (I/S) of 3:1 and 2:1 w/w of volatile solids for non-pretreated and pretreated cutting oil samples respectively. These reactors were incubated in a thermostatically-controlled water bath at 37 °C. Electrocoagulation pretreatment optimum conditions were obtained using experimental design (18 experiments), for an initial pH of 5.8, current density of 241 A / m² and a processing time of 29 min. The anaerobic biodegradation tests were then carried out. The cumulative methane production increased, when pretreatment was used, from 0.024 ± 0.007 to 0.175± 0.05 (650 %) and 0.094 ± 0.04 to 0.27 ± 0.01 Nm3 CH4 kg COD-1 (187 %) for synthetic and spent cutting oilemulsion respectively. Furthermore, anaerobic biodegradability improved as well from 6.9 to 51 % and from26.98 to 80 % for synthetic and spent cutting oil emulsion respectively. These results show the considerable improvements of cutting oil emulsion anaerobic biodegradation when electrocoagulation pretreatment was used.

Abstract

The experimental study was conducted in order to evaluate the effects of thermal pre-treatment of secondary sludge on anaerobic digestion using as substrate a dairy discharge consisting primarily of whey (Numidia Constantine) made up mainly of lactoserum. The inoculums was subjected to heat treatment 120 °C, 160 °C, 180 °C for 2 hours, while considering the mud without treatment with a corresponding temperature equal to 20 °C. The trials were conducted in a series of reactors of 250 ml in thermophilic phase at 55 °C. The effect of heat treatment on the physicochemical parameters of the sludge before incubation shows that: In all cases, heat treatment brings about an important solubilisation of matter: The concentration in soluble matter greatly increases the required minimum time of treatment to achieve the highest rate of solubilisation which is equal to 60 min.The solubilisation of the CDO (Chemical Demand of Oxygen) increases proportionally with the treatment temperature. An increase in the treatment temperature of 120 °C results in a CDO with a solubilisation ratio of 7% and for a temperature of 180 °C it is 25%, with a solubilisation rate reaching 34% for a temperature of 18 °C. The best treatments (160 °C and 180 °C) result in a production of biogas from 2.7 to 3.5 times that of the untreated sludge for duration equal to 25 days.

Abstract

The simulation of solutes transport in porous media is of importance in many disciplines including CO2 sequestration simulations, the evaluation of underground water quality, nuclear waste simulations, and petroleum reservoir engineering. We present a numerical method for coupling 3D transport with equilibrium reactions. Our method is based on a fixed-point algorithm that enables us to couple different transport and chemistry modules. A splitting technique is used for transport that enables us to use different spatial and temporal approximations for different transport processes. The Newton's method is used to solve the chemical system. The reliability of the method is assessed by comparing the obtained results in a column with the one-dimensional problem.

Abstract

The experimental study was undertaken in order to evaluate the effects of the initial pH on the anaerobic digestion of dairy waste. The biodegradability tests were carried out in a series of reactor of 400ml of volume with four arrangements of the initial pH (pH= 4; 5.5; 7; and 9.5) in thermophilic phase (T = 55 °C). The dairy wastewater was the only source of organic carbon. After the incubation period (50 days), the result show that the height efficiency of removal COD (about de90.8 %) was obtained for initial pH = 7, allowed by Reactor of pH=9.5 79.64 %; pH=5.5 63.75 % and finally pH=4 (49.11%). Concerning the produced biogas it volume was: 163ml, 1000ml, 2000ml and 1500ml for pH= 4; 5.5; 7 and 9.5 respectively. However the produced of CH4 for pH=4 is negligible, for the pH=5.5 and pH=9.5 is slightly over 50 % and 75 % respectively compared to the production of the test pH=7It can be concluded that dairy waste degradation in anaerobic process can happen optimum on range neutral pH.

Abstract

Ultrafiltration is an important technique in the recovery of metal cations from aqueous solutions, this technique is in most cases associated with a complexation reaction, it increases the size of the cations in solution to be retained by the ultrafiltration membrane; in this first part of the work, we are interested only to the effect of pH on the complexation reaction of trivalent chromium by the complexing agent (ethylene diamine tetra-acetate: EDTA), knowing that it is the important parameter in this type of reaction, it can give the percentage of the different species in solution. The second part is devoted to the experimental study of the ultrafiltration of Cr-EDTA complex, carried out in a pilot of ultrafiltration, in order to determine the total transfer resistance of the liquid through the ultrafiltration membrane, this resistance is used for modeling the tangential flow of the Cr-EDTA solution in a tubular membrane for understanding the effect of some parameters (Reynolds and Peclet numbers) on membrane fouling in the treatment of water solutions containing Cr-EDTA complex, using transport equations, Navier-Stokes and continuity; resolution is carried out by the finite volume method, and the results showed that the deposition of solute on the membrane is more important for small Reynolds number values range of 200 to 400 and for large Peclet number valuesin the range of 104 to 105.

Abstract

The assessment key factors of any bioprocess sustainability are mainly its interaction towards the environment and the capacity to control any generated pollution, beside its social and economical aspects. These factors have direct impact on the decision-making regarding the choice of the relevant technologies at the early stages of the bioprocess design. Therefore, in the present study we assessed the environmental impact of a chosen model process, namely for the production L-lysine by fermentation using Corynebacterium glutamicum and glucose as the bacteria and the substrate, respectively. We used the Super Pro Designer® version 9.0 software to compute mass balances of the entry and exit streams. The results, together with all relevant impact categories, which are classified according to calculated mass indices, were used for environmental assessment to deduce the set environmental parameters, as environmental factors and indices. In order to optimize the environmental performance of the bioprocess, other indices were also calculated. For instance, the results showed that Water was the most influential relevant component from mass point of view with 20.97 and 22.32 kg/kg P for input and output, respectively. Regarding the fact that Water is an exhaustible natural resource, it is necessary to anticipate its recycling. Therefore, as a second step a part of the water recovered during the purification of the main product was recycled along with L-Lysine wastes. This led to important mitigations of the environmental impacts of Water and L-Lysine as well to a production increase of the latter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Mycosphaerella blight caused by Mycosphaerella pinodes (Berk. et Blox.) Vestergr. is now recognized as one of the major problems limiting yield of pea crops in Algeria. The present work was carried out to study the aggressiveness of 75 M. pinodes isolates collected from different pea-growing areas forming four population groups representing four geographic areas in western Algeria. The latent period, incubation period and disease severity were measured in the greenhouse for each isolate × cultivar combination. All three aggressiveness components differed significantly between isolates and between cultivars. No significant interaction however was noted between isolates and cultivars. Both principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) were employed to analyze the variation pattern within and between population groups. Cluster analysis, which summarizes the relationship between isolates according to their distance of similarity, sorted isolates into six distinct aggressiveness groups. Aggressiveness group 1 was the most represented, with 34% of all isolates. Both PCA and cluster analysis revealed that many isolates were closely related irrespective of the geographic area or the host cultivar from which they were collected. At the same time, and based on the same aggressiveness components, the cv. Onward, Lucy and DP were the most susceptible, whereas the cv. Rondo and MK were partially resistant.

Abstract

Tanning factory is globally considered to be one of the most resource consuming and pollutants producing industries because it requires, for processing leather, large amounts of fresh water, chemical reagents, and energy, and in addition produces wastes, liquid as well solid, rich in organic matter and heavy metals (e.g., chromium). Such characteristics of tannery wastes make their biological treatment promising as well as challenging. This study deals with the effect of coagulation process as a pretreatment method on real tannery wastewater prior to anaerobic digestion (AD), with the aim of removing chromium and thus limiting its inhibitory effect on biological process. Different concentrations (100, 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1,000 mg=L) of the coagulant FeCl3 were tested, at pH 7.5, with an initial total chromium concentration of 150 mg=L. The efficiency of metal removal was in the range of 0.44–29.38%. Simultaneously, the chemical oxygen demand was reduced by 0.86–28.80%, with the detrimental effect of lowering the total biogas production potential from tannery wastewater. Nevertheless, coagulation pretreatment enhanced the AD process of tannery wastewater, resulting in an increase of the cumulative biogas production by 10% and in a reduction of the digestion time by approximately 25%, in comparison with untreated wastewater. After 37 days of incubation, the maximum specific cumulated volume of biogas produced from the wastewater pretreated with 800 mg=L of FeCl3 was 837 mL=g total volatile solids added with approximately 84% of methane.

Abstract

Activated carbons were prepared by the pyrolysis of coffee grounds impregnated by phosphoric acid at 450 degrees C for different impregnation ratios: 30, 60, 120 and 180 wt.%. Materials were characterized for their surface chemistry by elemental analysis, "Boehm titrations", point of zero charge measurements, Infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA); as well as for their porous and morphological structure by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and nitrogen adsorption at 77K. The impregnation ratio was found to govern the porous structure of the prepared activated carbons. Low impregnation ratios (120 wt.%) led to essentially microporous and acidic activated carbons whereas high impregnation ratios (120 wt.%) yielded to essentially mesoporous carbons with specific surface areas as high as 925 m(2)g(-1), pore volume as large as 0.7 cm(3)g(-1), and neutral surface. The activated carbons prepared from coffee grounds were compared to a commercial activated carbon (S(BET) approximately 1400 m(2)g(-1)) for their adsorption isotherms of methylene blue and "Nylosan Red N-2RBL", a cationic and anionic (azo) dye respectively. The mesoporous structure of the material produced at 180 wt.% H(3)PO(4) ratio was found to be appropriate for an efficient sorption of the latter azo dye.

Abstract

Indirect limits on the mass of the lightest neutralino are derived from the results of searches for charginos, neutralinos, and sleptons performed with data taken by the ALEPH Collaboration at centre-of-mass energies near the Z peak and at 130 and 136 GeV. Within the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model and when $M_{\tilde\nu}\ge 200$ GeV/c^2, the bound $M_\chi>12.8$ GeV/c^2 at the 95\% confidence level applies for any $\tan\beta$. The impact of lighter sneutrinos is presented in the framework of SUSY grand unified theories; a massless neutralino is allowed only for a narrow range of $\tan\beta$, $\mu$, and the scalar mass parameter $m_0$. Finally, by including Higgs mass constraints and requiring that radiative electroweak symmetry breaking occur, more stringent bounds on $M_\chi$ as a function of $\tan\beta$ are derived., Comment: 26 pages, one latex file and 15 eps figures

ALEPH Experiment
Abstract

Searches for charginos and neutralinos produced in e+e- collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 130 and 136 GeV have been performed under the assumptions that R-parity is not conserved, that the dominant R-parity violating coupling involves only leptonic fields, and that the lifetime of the lightest supersymmetric particle can be neglected. In the 5.7 pb-1 data sample collected by ALEPH, no candidate events were found. As a result, chargino and neutralino masses and couplings are constrained and the domains previously excluded at LEP1 are extended.

Abstract

The lifetimes of the B 0 and B + mesons have been measured with the Aleph detector at LEP, using approximately 3 million hadronic Z decays collected in the period 1991 1994. In the first of three methods, semileptonic decays of B 0 and B + mesons were partially reconstructed by identifying events containing a lepton with an associated D*- orbar D^0 meson. The second method used fully reconstructed B 0 and B + mesons. The third method, used to measure the B 0 lifetime, employed a partial reconstruction technique to identify B 0→ D*- π + X decays. The combined results are begin{gathered} tau _0 = 1.55 ± 0.06 ± 0.03 ps, \ tau _ + = 1.58 ± 0.09 ± 0.03 ps, \ tfrac{{tau _ + }}{{tau _0 }} = 1.03 ± 0.08 ± 0.02.

Abstract

The electroweak mixing angle is determined with high precision from measurements of the mean difference between forward and backward hemisphere charges in hadronic decays of the Z. A data sample of 2.5 million hadronic Z decays recorded over the period 1990 to 1994 in the ALEPH detector at LEP is used. The mean charge separation between event hemispheres containing the original quark and antiquark is measured for b (b) over bar and c (c) over bar events in subsamples selected by their long lifetimes or using fast D*'s. The corresponding average charge separation for light quarks is measured in an inclusive sample from the anticorrelation between charges of opposite hemispheres and agrees with predictions of hadronisation models with a precision of 2%. It is shown that differences between light quark charge separations and the measured average can be determined using hadronisation models, with systematic uncertainties con strained by measurements of inclusive production of kaons, protons and Lambda's. The separations are used to measure the electroweak mixing angle precisely as sin(2) theta(w)(eff) = 0.2322 +/- 0.0008(exp. stat.) +/-0.0007(exp. syst.) +/- 0.0008(sep.). The first two errors are due to purely experimental sources whereas the third stems from uncertainties in the quark charge separations.

Abstract

The branching fraction of Z --> bb relative to all hadronic decays of the Z has been measured using event shape variables to preferentially select Z --> bb events. The method chosen applies a combination of shape discriminators and the selection of high transverse momentum leptons to event hemispheres. From a sample of 440 000 hadronic Z decays collected with the ALEPH detector at LEP, the ration Γbb/Γhad = 0.228+/-0.005(stat.)+/-0.005(syst.) is measured.

Abstract

A sample of 3.6 million hadronic Z decays recorded between 1991 and 1995 with the ALEPH detector at LEP is used to investigate semileptonic decays of B mesons into final states involving orbitally excited charm mesons. Topological vertex criteria are used to search for decays involving narrow D** states as well as wide D** resonances and non-resonant D(*)pi final states. The sum of the branching ratios for these processes is measured to be Br((B) over bar --> D pi l(-)(v) over bar) + Br((B) over bar --> D*pi l(-)(v) over bar) = (2.26 +/-t 0.29(stat) +/- 0.33(syst))%, which accounts for a significant fraction of the deficit between inclusive measurements and the sum of exclusive semileptonic B decay modes.

Abstract

Thirty lines of pea were tested in vitro to evaluate their ability to produce somatic embryos. Three distinct genotypic classes were detected (strong, medium and weak). The best responses were obtained in Pisum sativum. Abnormal somatic embryos and secondary embryogenesis seem to constitute the principal obstacle to the development of these structures.

Abstract

Six lines of Pisum were tested in vitro for their ability to produce somatic embryos from apices. Significant quantitative variation was observed. Inheritance of the ability to form somatic embryos was studied using a diallel cross among six different lines. About 80% of the observed genotypic variation was due to additive effects. There is a tendency for the favourable genes to be recessive. It appears that there are two genetic systems involved. Analysis of the distribution of F3 families means from a cross among two extreme lines seems to indicate the presence of a few major genes in the control of somatic embryogenesis of pea.

Data on the inclusive production of the neutral vector mesons rho(0)(770), omega(782), K*(0)(892), and phi (1020) in hadronic Z decays recorded with the ALEPH detector at LEP are presented and compared to Monte Carlo model predictions. Bose-Einstein effects are found to be important in extracting a reliable value for the p(0) production rate. An average p(0) multiplicity of 1.45 +/- 0.21 per event is obtained. The omega is detected via its three pion decay mode omega --> pi(+)pi(-)pi(0) and has a total rate of 1.07 +/- 0.14 per event. The multiplicity of the K*(0) is 0.83 +/- 0.09, whilst that of the phi is 0.122 +/- 0.009, both measured using their charged decay modes. The measurements provide information on the relative production rates of vector and pseudoscalar mesons, as well as on the relative probabilities for the production of hadrons containing u, d, and s quarks.

Abstract

A data sample of about 3.0 million hadronicZ decays collected by the ALEPH experiment at LEP in the years 1991 through 1994 is used to make an inclusive selection of B hadron events. In this event sample 4227±140±252B* mesons in the decayB*→Bγ and 1944±108±161B** u,d mesons decaying into a B meson and a charged pion are reconstructed. Here and in the followingB** u,d denotes the eightL=1(bū) and (bd) states and their charge conjugate. For the well establishedB* meson the following quantities are obtained:ΔM=M B*−MB=(45.30±0.35±0.87) MeV/c2 andN B*/(N B+N B*)=(77.1±2.6±7.0)%. The angular distribution of the photons in theB* rest frame is used to measure the relative contribution of longitudinalB* polarization states to beσ L/(σ L+σ T)=(33±6±5)%. In theM(Bπ)−M(B) mass difference resonance structure is observed at (424±4±10) MeV/c2, for which the shape and position is consistent with the expectation forB** u,d states decaying intoB(*)π ±. The relative production rate is determined to be $$\begin{gathered} \frac{{BR(Z \to b \to B_{u,d}^{ * * } )}}{{BR(Z \to b \to B_{u,d} )}} \hfill \\ = [27.9 \pm 1.6(stat) \pm 5.9(syst) {}_{ - 5.6}^{ + 3.9} (model)]\% \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ where the third error reflects the uncertainty due to different production and decay models for the broadB** u,d states.

Abstract

Earlier measurements at LEP of isolated hard photons in hadronic Z decays, attributed to radiation from primary quark pairs, have been extended in the ALEPH experiment to include hard photon production inside hadron jets. Events are selected where all particles combine democratically to form hadron jets, one of which contains a photon with a fractional energy z greater than or equal to 0.7. After statistical subtraction of non-prompt photons, the quark-to-photon fragmentation function, D(z), is extracted directly from the measured 2-jet rate. By taking into account the perturbative contributions to D(z) obtained from an O(alpha alpha(s)) QCD calculation, the unknown non-perturbative component of D(z) is then determined at high z. Provided due account is taken of hadronization effects near z = 1, a good description of the other event topologies is then found.

Abstract

The present work reports a study on the test of olive stones as an adsorbent for removal of cation Cd(II) and the oxyanion Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions. The experimental elimination of the species has been carried out batchwise and the influence of certain physico-chemical parameters such as the contact time, the pH of the solution, the temperature, the solid to liquid ratio and the agitation speed has also been considered. The equilibrium adsorption capacity of the olive stones for the case of Cr(VI) follows the Langmuir model, whereas for the Cd(II) cations, the two models -- Langmuir and Freundlich can be equally representative. The adsorption process has been found to be of pseudo second-order and the rate constants have been determined for both cations. The Gibbs free energy sign is negative for the adsorption of both cations, indicating that the process is spontaneous. Finally the olive stones retain chromium more than cadmium, but at optimal conditions, high removal percentages are reached for both cations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The present study aimed at assessing the anaerobic digestion process efficiency on the organic fraction of municipal solids waste. Batch mesophilic and thermophilic biochemical methane potential (BMP) tests were carried out and the methane potential as well as the biodegradability of all substrates was determined. The experimental studies indicated that the biological biogas production of organic fraction of municipal solids waste in mesophilic (T=35°C) and thermophilic (T=55°C) temperature were 0.450 m 3/ kg and 0.481 m 3/ kg respectively. Moreover, the average biogas composition in percentage for the mesophilic and thermophilic case were (CH4: 61.1%, CO2: 38.9%) and (CH4: 62.3%, CO2: 37.7%) respectively. The experimental study showed that the produced volume of biological biogas and it composition of methane in thermophilic case were higher than the produced volume and methane percentage obtained in mesophilic case (T = 35°C). A possible reason for this could be the temperature.

Abstract

Various industries like textiles, papers, food, plastics, leather, etc are great water and organic colorant users. Hence, the resulting effluents could be an important source of environmental problems, since they may contain stable and non biodegradable contaminants, like organic dyes. The treatment of which is the main scope of the present study. Different ways of dye removal from these effluents do exist, such as flotation, reverse osmosis, chemical flocculation and adsorption etc. Adsorption is used in this work for the removal of a particular basic dye, known as Gentian violet (GV) from an aqueous solution, by means of a natural clay material. The influence of various key parameters like contact time, temperature, ionic strength, etc. on the adsorbed amount of the dye was investigated, for batch conditions. A kinetic study was also carried out, the obtained experimental results were tested against the pseudo first order and the pseudo second order equations. An analysis of the obtained equilibrium data showed that the dye adsorption is best described by the Langmuir model. The obtained results showed that temperature did enhance the Gentian violet dye retention process onto the considered bentonite whereas the obtained thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic. The simultaneous presence of methylene blue, which is another colorant compound, with the Gentian violet was also considered. The clay materials showed a better affinity for the first one i e. methylene blue. In conclusion and according to the obtained results, the clay material may be recommended as an industrial adsorbent for the treatment of effluents containing Gentian violet (GV).

Abstract

Abstract: Activated carbons were prepared by the pyrolysis of coffee grounds impregnated by phosphoric acid at 450°C for different impregnation ratios: 30, 60, 120 and 180wt.%. Materials were characterized for their surface chemistry by elemental analysis, “Boehm titrations”, point of zero charge measurements, Infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA); as well as for their porous and morphological structure by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and nitrogen adsorption at 77K. The impregnation ratio was found to govern the porous structure of the prepared activated carbons. Low impregnation ratios (<120wt.%) led to essentially microporous and acidic activated carbons whereas high impregnation ratios (>120wt.%) yielded to essentially mesoporous carbons with specific surface areas as high as 925m2 g−1, pore volume as large as 0.7cm3 g−1, and neutral surface. The activated carbons prepared from coffee grounds were compared to a commercial activated carbon (S BET ∼1400m2 g−1) for their adsorption isotherms of methylene blue and “Nylosan Red N-2RBL”, a cationic and anionic (azo) dye respectively. The mesoporous structure of the material produced at 180wt.% H3PO4 ratio was found to be appropriate for an efficient sorption of the latter azo dye. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract

The preparation of new adsorbents based on the coating of a poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) polymer onto industrial bentonites was investigated. Two ways of synthesis were investigated, using dibromohexane (DBH) or its absence as a difunctional quaternizing agent in order to fasten the polymer by cross-linking. Several parameters (reagents ratio, type of bentonite, chemical stability in liquid media) were studied. Qualitative (IR and RMN spectroscopies) and quantitative (thermogravimetric) analyses of the samples were carried out. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract

Four candidates for charmless hadronic B decay are observed in a data sample of four million hadronic Z decays recorded by the ALEPH detector at LEP. The probability that these events come from background sources is estimated to be less than 10(-6). The average branching of weakly decaying B hadrons (a mixture of B-d(0), B-s(0) and Lambda(b) weighted by their production The average branching ratio of weakly decaying B hadrons (a mixture of B-d(0) cross sections and lifetimes, here denoted B) into two long-lived charged hadrons (pions, kaons or protons) is measured to be Br(B-->h(+)h(-))=(1.7(-0.7)(+1.0)+/-0.2)x10(-5). The relative branching fraction Br(B-d(s)(0)-->pi(+)pi(-)(K-))/Br(B-d(s)(0)-->h(+)h(-)) is measured to be 1.0(-0.3-0.1)(+0.0+0.0). In addition, branching ratio upper limits are obtained for a variety of exclusive charmless hadronic two-body decays of B hadrons.

Abstract

In a data sample of approximately four million hadronic Z decays recorded with the ALEPH detector from 1990 to 1995, a search for the strange b baryon Ξb is performed with a study of Ξ-lepton correlations. Forty-four events with same sign Ξ−l− combinations are found whereas 8.4 are expected based on the rate of opposite sign Ξ−l+ combinations. This significant excess is interpreted as evidence for Ξb semileptonic decays. The measured product branching ratio is Br(b → Ξ b ) × Br(Ξ b → X c Xl − ν l ) × Br(X c → Ξ − X′) = (5.4±1.1(stat) ± 0.8(syst)) × 10 −4 per lepton species, averaged over electrons and muons, with Xc a charmed baryon. The Ξb lifetime is measured to be τΞb = 1.35−0.28+0.37(stat)−0.17+0.15(syst) ps.

Abstract

Quark and gluon jets with the same energy, 24 GeV, are compared in symmetric three-jet configurations from hadronic Z decays observed by the ALEPH detector. Jets are defined using the Durham algorithm. Gluon jets are identified using an anti-tag on b jets, based on a track impact parameter method. The comparison of gluon acid mixed flavour quark jets shows that gluon jets have a softer fragmentation function, a larger angular width and a higher particle multiplicity. Evidence is presented which shows that the corresponding differences between gluon and b jets are significantly smaller. In a statistically limited comparison the multiplicity in c jets was found to be comparable with that observed for the jets of mixed quark flavour.

Abstract

The production of final states involving one or more energetic photons from e(+)e(-) collisions at high energies is studied using data collected by the ALEPH detector at LEP. The data consist of two samples of 2.9 pb(-1) each, recorded at centre-of-mass energies of 130 GeV and 136 GeV. The data are in agreement with the predictions of the Standard Model. From an analysis of two-photon final states new limits are placed on the parameters of models involving e(+)e(-)gamma gamma contact interactions and excited electrons. The 95% confidence level lower limits on the QED cut-off parameters Lambda(+) and Lambda(-) are found to be 169 and 132 GeV respectively.

Abstract

A search for the radiative decay of excited charged leptons, l*, and for radiative and weak decays of excited electron neutrinos, nu(e)*, is performed, using the 5.8 pb(-1) of data collected by ALEPH at 130-140 GeV. No evidence for a signal is found in single or pair production. Excluded mass limits from pair production are close to 65 GeV/c(2) for all excited lepton species. Limits on the couplings, lambda/m(l*), of excited leptons are derived from single production. For an excited lepton mass of 130GeV/c(2), these limits are 0.04GeV(-1) for mu* and tau*, and 0.0007GeV(-1) for e*. For nu(e)*, the limit is at the level of 0.03 GeV-1 for a mass of 120 GeV/c(2), independent of the decay branching ratios.

Abstract

About three million hadronic decays of the Z collected by ALEPH in the years 1991 to 1994 are used to search for anomalous Cp violation beyond the Standard Model in the decay Z-->b(b) over barg$. The study is performed by analyzing angular correlations between the two quarks and the gluon in three-jet events and by measuring the differential two-jet rate. No signal of CP violation is found. For the combinations of anomalous CP violating couplings, (h) over cap(b)$= - and h(b)*=root + , limits of \(h) over cap(b)$\

Abstract

A search for pair production of new heavy leptons has been performed assuming different scenarios for the mixing of the new particles with Standard Model leptons. No candidate events were found in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.6 pb(-1) collected by the ALEPH detector at centre-of-mass energies of 130 and 136 GeV. New limits on production cross-sections and on masses of sequential leptons were obtained which significantly extend the mass regions excluded at LEP1. For instance, charged heavy leptons with masses below 63.5 GeV/c(2) are excluded at 95% C.L. for mass differences to the associated neutral lepton of more than 7 GeV/c(2).

Abstract

Hadronic and leptonic cross-sections and forward-backward asymmetries are measured using 5.7 pb(-1) of data taken with the ALEPH detector at LEP at centre-of-mass energies of 130 and 136 GeV. The results agree with Standard Model expectations. The measurement of hadronic cross-sections far away from the Z resonance improves the determination of the interference between photon and Z exchange. Constraints on models with extra Z bosons are presented.

Abstract

The polarization of Λ baryons from Z decays is studied with the Aleph apparatus. Evidence of longitudinal polarization of s quarks from Z decay is observed for the first time. The measured longitudinal Λ polarization is PLΛ = −0.32 ± 0.07 for z = p p beam > 0.3 . This agrees with the prediction of −0.39 ± 0.08 from the standard model and the constituent quark model, where the error is due to uncertainties in the mechanism for Λ production. The observed Λ polarization is diluted with respect to the primary s quark polarization by Λ baryons without a primary s quark. Measurements of the Λ forward-backward asymmetry and of the correlation between back-to-back Λ Λ pairs are used to check this dilution. In addition the transverse Λ polarization is measured. An indication of transverse polarization, more than two standard deviations away from zero, is found along the normal to the plane defined by the thrust axis and the Λ direction.

Abstract

The tau lepton lifetime has been measured using three different methods with the DELPHI detector. Two measurements of one-prong decays are combined, accounting for correlations, giving a result of \tau_\tau = 291.8 \pm 3.3 \mbox{ (stat.)} \pm 2.0 \mbox{(sys.) fs} while the decay length distribution of three-prong decays gives the result \tau_{\tau} = 286.7 \pm 4.9 \mbox{ (stat.)} \pm 3.3 \mbox{ (sys.) fs}. Combining the results presented here with previous DELPHI measurements, we get \tau_{\tau} = 291.4 \pm 3.0 fs and find that the ratio of the coupling constant for tau decay relative to that for muon decay is 0.990 \pm 0.009, compatible with lepton universality.

Abstract

Inclusive π±, K± and $$(p,\bar p)$$ differential cross-sections in hadronic decays of the Z have been measured as a function ofz=P hadron/P beam, the scaled momentum. The results are based on approximately 520 000 events measured by the ALEPH detector at LEP during 1992. Charged particles are identified by their rate of ionization energy loss in the ALEPH Time Projection Chamber. The position, ξ*, of the peak in the ln(1/z) distribution is determined, and the evolution of the peak position with centre-of-mass energy is compared with the prediction of QCD.

Abstract

From 1.4 million hadronic Z decays collected by the ALEPH detector at LEP, an enriched sample of Z --> c $$($) over bar c events is extracted by requiring the presence of a high momentum D*(+/-). The charm quark forward-backward charge asymmetry at the Z pole is measured to be A(FB)(0,c) = (8.0 +/- 2.4)% corresponding to an effective electroweak mixing angle of sin(2) theta(W)(eff) = 0.2302 +/- 0.0054.
