Abstract

Recent in vitro follicle culture (IVFC) studies in caprine have yielded lower maturation rates using late preantral follicles compared to early antral follicles. Thus, research focusing on developing stage-specific customized culture systems able to improve the efficiency of IVFC for late preantral follicles are warranted. This study aimed to compare the morphometric features, estradiol production, and gene expression between early antral caprine follicles produced in vitro and in vivo. In vitro-derived early antral follicles were produced after a 6-day in vitro culture of late preantral follicles, while in vivo-derived early antral follicles were yielded immediately after isolation from the ovaries; antral follicles were, thereafter, cultured for 18 days. In vitro-derived antral follicles were cultured either in a medium developed for preantral follicles (PF medium) or in a medium developed for antral follicles (AF medium). In vivo-derived early antral follicles, on the other hand, were cultured in AF medium (Control treatment). Results demonstrated that in vitro-derived antral follicles cultured in PF medium produced higher estradiol concentration, and m-RNA expression for matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), and insulin receptor when compared to both in vitro- and in vivo-derived antral follicles cultured in AF medium. Remarkably, in vitro-derived antral follicles cultured in PF medium had similar MII and oocytes ≥110 μm rates compared with in vivo-derived antral follicles (Control treatment). In conclusion, when cultured in a single and appropriate medium (i.e., PF medium), in vitro-derived early antral follicles had comparable oocyte maturation rates to the in vivo-derived early antral follicles.

Abstract

The ν -Angra experiment has developed an antineutrino detector intended to operate at sea level, a few dozen meters from the core of a nuclear reactor. The operating principle of the detector is based on the water Cherenkov light detection to be in compliance with the safety rules of the power plant operator. The detector is exposed to a high rate of background events, mainly due to cosmic rays, making its veto system a key element for efficient background rejection. The ν -Angra Collaboration has designed a veto detector composed of three layers filled with water for both passive shielding and active detection of crossing particles. The veto surrounds a volume of 1.50 × 1.05 × 1.39 m3 , in which a target detector is placed, where the search for anti-neutrino events occurs. Any external particle hitting the detector must cross at least 25 cm of water before reaching this internal volume, which is protected by the veto structure, thus providing an important barrier against neutrons and low energy particles. In addition, the veto system has been instrumented with eight 8-inch photomultiplier tubes to detect external particles that may eventually reach the target detector. By making use of a trigger system based on scintillating paddles, energy distribution and detection efficiency of the veto system were assessed for different detector positions. This paper, therefore, presents the achieved results related to the characterization of such system concerning the detection of cosmic-ray muon particles passing through it.

Abstract

A compact surface detector designed to identify the inverse beta decay interaction produced by anti-neutrinos coming from near operating nuclear reactors is being developed by the Neutrinos Angra Collaboration. In this document we describe and test the detector and its readout system by means of cosmic rays acquisition. In this measurement campaign, the target detector has been equipped with 16 8-in PMTs and two scintillator paddles have been used to trigger cosmic ray events. The achieved results disclosed the main operational characteristics of the Neutrinos Angra system and have been used to assess the detector and to validate its readout system.

Abstract

We present the status of the Angra Neutrino Experiment, aimed at developing an antineutrino detector for monitoring nuclear reactor activity. The detector comprises a 1.42 m 3 Gadolinium-Water Cerenkov target, surrounded by 50 cm of water shielding, placed inside a commercial container about 30 m from the reactor core, at the Angra II nuclear power plant, Brazil. The 4 GW thermal power of the Angra II reactor will provide a few thousand antineutrino interactions per day. The main challenge of the experiment is to overcome the very high cosmic ray induced background at sea level. The present text describes the construction status and simulations results.

Abstract

Using data from the FOCUS experiment we analyze the D+π− and D0π+ invariant mass distributions. We measure the D 2 ∗0 mass M D 2 ∗0 =(2464.5±1.1±1.9) MeV /c 2 and width Γ D 2 ∗0 =(38.7±5.3±2.9) MeV /c 2 , and the D 2 ∗+ mass M D 2 ∗+ =(2467.6±1.5±0.76) MeV /c 2 and width Γ D 2 ∗+ =(34.1±6.5±4.2) MeV /c 2 . We find evidence for broad structures over background in both the neutral and charged final state. If each is interpreted as evidence for a single L=1, jq=1/2 excited charm meson resonance, the masses and widths are M 1/2 0 =(2407±21±35) MeV /c 2 , Γ 1/2 0 =(240±55±59) MeV /c 2 , and M 1/2 + =(2403±14±35) MeV /c 2 , Γ 1/2 + =(283±24±34) MeV /c 2 , respectively.

Abstract

Using a large sample of D s + → φμ + ν decays collected by the FOCUS photoproduction experiment at Fermilab, we present new measurements of two semileptonic form factor ratios: r v and r 2 . We find r v =1.549±0.250±0.148 and r 2 =0.713±0.202±0.284. These values are consistent with r v and r 2 form factors measured for the process D + → K ∗0 l + ν l .

Abstract

We report measurements of the charm-anticharm production asymmetries for $\Lambda_c^+$, $\Sigma_c^{++}$, $\Sigma_c^0$, $\Sigma_c^{++*}$, $\Sigma_c^{0*}$, and $\Lambda_c^+(2625)$ baryons from the Fermilab photoproduction experiment FOCUS (E831). These asymmetries are integrated over the region where the spectrometer has good acceptance. In addition, we have obtained results for the photoproduction asymmetries of the $\Lambda_c$ baryons as functions of $p_L$, $p_T^2$, and $x_F$. The integrated asymmetry for $\Lambda_c^+$ production, $(\sigma_{\Lambda_c^+} - \sigma_{\Lambda_c^-}) / (\sigma_{\Lambda_c^+} + \sigma_{\Lambda_c^-})$, is $0.111 \pm 0.018 \pm 0.012$, significantly different from zero. The asymmetries of the excited states are consistent with the $\Lambda_c$ asymmetry., Comment: 12 pages, 9 figures, 1 table

Abstract

The FOCUS experiment(FNAL-E831) has used two channels, $\Omega^- \pi^+$ and $\Xi^-K^- \pi^+ \pi^+$,to measure the lifetime of the $\Omega_c^0$ charmed baryon. From a sample of $64 \pm 14$ signal events at a mass of 2.698 GeV/$c^2$, we measure an $\Omega_c^0$ lifetime of $72 \pm 11$ (stat.) $\pm 11$ (sys.) fs, substantially improving upon the current world average.

Abstract

Using data collected by the Fermilab experiment FOCUS, we measure the lifetime of the charmed baryon (\Xi_{c}^{o}) using the decay channels (\Xi_{c}^{o}\to \Xi ^{-}\pi ^{+}) and (\Xi_{c}^{o}\to \Omega ^{-}K^{+}). From a combined sample of (110\pm 17) events we find (\tau (\Xi_{c}^{o}) =~118^{+ 14}_{- 12} \pm5) fs, where the first and second errors are statistical and systematic, respectively., Comment: 13 pages, 5 figures

Abstract

We have studied the Cabibbo suppressed decay (\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to \Sigma ^{+}K^{*0}(892)) and the Cabibbo favored decays (\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to \Sigma ^{+}K^{+}K^{-}), (\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to \Sigma ^{+}\phi) and (\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to \Xi ^{*0}(\Sigma^{+}K^{-})K^{+}) and measured their branching ratios relative to (\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to \Sigma ^{+}\pi ^{+}\pi ^{-}) to be ((7.8\pm 1.8\pm 1.3)%), ((7.1\pm 1.1\pm 1.1)%), ((8.7\pm 1.6\pm 0.6)%) and ((2.2\pm 0.6\pm 0.6)%), respectively. The first error is statistical and the second is systematic. We also report two 90% confidence level limits (\Gamma (\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to \Sigma ^{-}K^{+}\pi ^{+})/\Gamma (\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to \Sigma^{+}K^{*0}(892))

Abstract

We report the observation of the Cabibbo suppressed decay \Xi_c^+ \to p K^-\pi^+ using data collected with the FOCUS spectrometer during the 1996--97 Fermilab fixed target run. We find a \Xi_c^+ signal peak of 202\pm35 events. We have measured the relative branching ratios BR(\Xi^+_c\to p K^-\pi^+)/BR(\Xi^+_c\to\Xi^-\pi^+\pi^+)= 0.234 \pm 0.047 \pm 0.022 and BR(\Xi^+_c\to p \bar{K}^*(892)^0)/BR(\Xi^+_c\to p K^-\pi^+)= 0.54 \pm 0.09 \pm 0.05 .

Abstract

We present the results of a five-dimensional resonant amplitude analysis of the $\Lambda_c^+{\to}pK^{-}\pi^{+}$ system based on $946\pm 38$ reconstructed decays. These data were produced in 500 GeV/$c$ $\pi^-$-N interactions by Fermilab experiment E791. We report measurements of the amplitudes for $\Lambda_c^+$ decay into nonresonant $pK^-\pi^+$ and to $p\bar{K}^{*0}(890)$, $\Delta^{++}(1232)K^-$, and $\Lambda(1520)\pi^+$ and we comment on other possible resonant enhancements. This is the first complete amplitude analysis of the $\Lambda_c^{+}{\to}pK^{-}\pi^{+}$ system. We find that $(54.8\pm5.5\pm3.5)$% of the decays are nonresonant, $(19.5\pm2.6\pm1.8)$% of the decays are via the $\bar{K}^{*0}$ resonance, $(18.0\pm2.9\pm2.9)$% of the decays are via the $\Delta^{++}$ resonance, and $(7.7\pm1.8\pm1.1)$% of the decays are via the $\Lambda(1520)$ resonance. We find evidence for an increasingly negative polarization of the $\Lambda_c^+$ baryons as a function of $p_T^2$, in agreement with a recent model\cite{dha} and with a related measurement\cite{jez}.

Abstract

We have measured the form factor ratios r_V = V(0)/A_1(0) and r_2 = A_2(0)/A_1(0) for the decay D_s^+ -> phi ell^+ nu_ell, phi -> K^+ K^-, using data from charm hadroproduction experiment E791 at Fermilab. Results are based on 144 signal and 22 background events in the electron channel and 127 signal and 34 background events in the muon channel. We combine the measurements from both lepton channels to obtain r_V = 2.27 +- 0.35 +- 0.22 and r_2 = 1.57 +- 0.25 +- 0.19.

Abstract

We report the results of a precise measurement of the Ds meson lifetime based on 1662 +/- 56 fully reconstructed Ds -> phi pi decays, from the charm hadroproduction experiment E791 at Fermilab. Using an unbinned maximum likelihood fit, we measure the Ds lifetime to be 0.518 +/- 0.014 +/- 0.007 ps. The ratio of the measured Ds lifetime to the world average D0 lifetime is 1.25 +/- 0.04. This result differs from unity by six standard deviations, indicating significantly different lifetimes for the Ds and the D0., 12 pages, 3 figures, 2 table. LaTeX

Abstract

We study the charge correlations between charm mesons produced in 500 GeV pi- - N interactions and the charged pions produced closest to them in phase space. With 110,000 fully reconstructed D mesons from experiment E791 at Fermilab, the correlations are studied as functions of the Dpi - D mass difference and of Feynman x. We observe significant correlations which appear to originate from a combination of sources including fragmentation dynamics, resonant decays, and charge of the beam., Comment: 12 pages and 2 figures

Abstract

We report a measurement of the branching ratio B(D+-->rho^0 l nu)/ B(D+-->K*0 l nu) from the Fermilab charm hadroproduction experiment E791. Based on signals of 49+-17 events in the D+--> rho^0 e nu mode and 54+-18 events in the D+--> rho^0 mu nu mode, we measure B(D+-->rho^0 e nu)/B(D+-->K*0 e nu) = 0.045+-0.014+-0.009, and B(D+-->rho^0 mu nu)/B(D+-->K*0 mu nu) = 0.051+-0.015+-0.009. Combining the results from both the electronic and muonic modes, we obtain B(D+-->rho^0 l nu)/B(D+-->K*0 l nu) = 0.047+-0.013. This result is compared to theoretical predictions.

Abstract

There has been superb progress in understanding the neutrino sector of elementary particle physics in the past few years. It is now widely recognized that the possibility exists for a rich program of measuring CP violation and matter effects in future accelerator {nu} experiments, which has led to intense efforts to consider new programs at neutrino superbeams, off-axis detectors, neutrino factories and beta beams. However, the possibility of measuring CP violation can be fulfilled only if the value of the neutrino mixing parameter {theta}{sub 13} is such that sin{sup 2} (2{theta}{sub 13}) greater than or equal to on the order of 0.01. The authors of this white paper are an International Working Group of physicists who believe that a timely new experiment at a nuclear reactor sensitive to the neutrino mixing parameter {theta}{sub 13} in this range has a great opportunity for an exciting discovery, a non-zero value to {theta}{sub 13}. This would be a compelling next step of this program. We are studying possible new reactor experiments at a variety of sites around the world, and we have collaborated to prepare this document to advocate this idea and describe some of the issues that are involved.

Abstract

FOCUS results from Dalitz plot analysis of D_s+ and D+ to pi+pi-pi+ are presented. The K-matrix formalism is applied to charm decays for the first time to fully exploit the already existing knowledge coming from the light-meson spectroscopy experiments. In particular all the measured dynamics of the S-wave pipi scattering, characterized by broad/overlapping resonances and large non-resonant background, can be properly included. This paper studies the extent to which the K-matrix approach is able to reproduce the observed Dalitz plot and thus help us to understand the underlying dynamics. The results are discussed, along with their possible implications on the controversial nature of the sigma meson., To be submitted to Phys.Lett.B A misprint corrected in formula 3

Abstract

We have performed a search for CPT violation in neutral charm meson oscillations. While flavor mixing in the charm sector is predicted to be small by the Standard Model, it is still possible to investigate CPT violation through a study of the proper time dependence of a CPT asymmetry in right-sign decay rates for $D^0\to K^-\pi^+$ and $\d0b\to K^+\pi^-$. This asymmetry is related to the CPT violating complex parameter $\xi$ and the mixing parameters $x$ and $y$: $A_{CPT}\propto{\rm Re} \xi y-{\rm Im} \xi x$ . Our 95% confidence level limit is $-0.0068, Comment: 12 pages 5 figures

Abstract

Using the FOCUS spectrometer (experiments 687 and 831 at Fermilab) we confirm the existence of a diffractively photoproduced enhancement in K^+K^- at 1750 MeV/c^2 with nearly 100 times the statistics of previous experiments. We also observe a narrow dip structure at 1.9 GeV/c2 in a study of diffractive photoproduction of the 3π^+3π^- final state.

Abstract

We present a summary of recent results on CP violation and mixing in the charm quark sector based on a high statistics sample collected by photoproduction experiment FOCUS (E831 at Fermilab). We have measured the difference in lifetimes for the D0 decays: D0→K−π+ and D0→K−K+. This translates into a measurement of the yCP mixing parameter in the $\d0d0$ system, under the assumptions that K−K+ is an equal mixture of CP odd and CP even eigenstates, and CP violation is negligible in the neutral charm meson system. We verified the latter assumption by searching for a CP violating asymmetry in the Cabibbo suppressed decay modes D+→K−K+π+, D0→K−K+ and D0→π−π+. We show preliminary results on a measurement of the branching ratio Γ(D∗+→π+(K+π−))/Γ(D∗+→π+(K−π+)).

Abstract

We report the preliminary measurement by the FOCUS Collaboration (E831 at Fermilab) of masses and widths of the L=1 charm mesons D*^+_2 and D*^+_2 . The fit of the invariant mass distribution requires an additional term to account for a broad structure over background.

Abstract

We report the results of a search for flavor-changing neutral current, lepton-flavor violating, and lepton-number violating decays of D+, Ds, and D0 mesons (and their antiparticles) into modes containing muons and electrons. Using data from Fermilab charm hadroproduction experiment E791, we examine the pi,l,l and K,l,l decay modes of D+ and Ds and the l+l- decay modes of D0. No evidence for any of these decays is found. Therefore, we present branching-fraction upper limits at 90% confidence level for the 24 decay modes examined. Eight of these modes have no previously reported limits, and fourteen are reported with significant improvements over previously published results., Comment: 12 pages, 3 figures, LaTeX, elsart.cls, epsf.sty, amsmath.sty Submitted to Physics Letters B

Abstract

A Deck-like model is proposed for the reaction pd → (Nπ)+d. The narrow bump Nπ (1150 MeV) is well explained. The different hypothesis and approximations are widely reviewed. In particular other mechanisms which can contribute to the same reaction are calculated and off-shell effects are discussed.

Abstract

Using a nuclear physics approach, the authors investigate the orbital angular momentum dependence in the baryonium JP=1- production in the reaction pp pi -X+. Although the calculated cross section for l=0 states is larger than the experimental upper limit, they show that the existence of l=2 'nuclear type' baryonium states cannot be discarded.

Abstract

A model for ABC production is presented, which is experimentally observed in the missing mass spectrum of the reaction dp yields /sup 3/He + (MM)/ sup 0/. The reaction is assumed to be split in two successive steps, namely: (i) N/sub 1/p yields d/sub i/ pi /sub 1/ followed by (ii) N/sub 2/d/ sub i/ yields /sup 3/He pi /sub 2/, N/sub 1/ and N/sub 2/ being the two nucleons of the incident deuteron and d/sub i/ an intermediate deuteron. The total amplitude is factorized into the product of the two amplitudes of reactions (i) and (ii). It is known that at low energy these two reactions are dominated by DELTA production. This implies that the total cross sections are given by Breit-Wigner type formulae and that the angular distributions are peaked in the backward and forward directions. The two main results are: (i) at given incident energy, the ABC effect results from the angular distribution of the two intermediate reactions; (ii) the energy dependence of the ABC is deduced from those of the intermediate processes. The resulting fits are generally excellent when the Fermi motion in the initial deuteron is taken into account.

We have used a silicon-microstrip vertex detector with Tagged Photon spectrometer to measure the lifetimes of charmed mesons produced by a high-energy photon beam at Fermilab. The ${D}^{+}$ lifetime, based on 969 ${D}^{+}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}${K}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}$${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}$ decays, is measured to be (1.06\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.05\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.03)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}12}$ s. Using 1360 ${D}^{0}$ decays into the modes ${K}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}$ and ${K}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}$${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}$, we determine the lifetime to be (0.435\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.015\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.010)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{\ensuremath{-}12}$ s.

Abstract

A double nucleon exchange model is proposed for the ABC production in the pn → d(ππ)0 reaction. Important low-mass enhancements are obtained in the invariant ππ mass spectrum similarly to what happens in a Deck model. The same type of mechanism also provides an explanation for the experimentally observed peak at the highest invariant ππ masses.

The cross section for backward elastic pd scattering in the proton kinetic energy interval from 0.4 to 1.0 GeV is calculated from a double-triangle diagram with intermediate Δ(1232) excitation. Different approximations for the loop integrals are discussed. The predicted cross sections reproduce quite well the enhancement observed in the experimental data at about 600 MeV.

We study the decay of D0 and D+s mesons into five-body final states including a KS0 and report the discovery of the decay mode Ds+→KS0KS0π+π+π−. The branching ratio for the new mode is Γ(D s + →K S 0 K S 0 π + π − π + ) Γ(D s + →K S 0 K − π + π + ) =0.102±0.029±0.029 . We also determine the branching ratio of Γ(D 0 →K S 0 π + π + π − π − ) Γ(D 0 →K S 0 π + π − ) =0.095±0.005±0.007 as well as an upper limit for Γ(D 0 →K S 0 K − π + π + π − ) Γ(D 0 →K S 0 π + π + π − π − ) (90% CL). An analysis of the resonant substructure for D0→KS0π+π+π−π− is also performed.

We have also measured the relative production of different charmed particles, their p T 2 and X F distributions and the energy dependence of the total charm cross-section. The mean p T 2 , is 1.16±0.04 GeV2/c2 and the ratio of charm cross-sections at 200 GeV and 100 GeV is 1.96±0.24. Results of fits to the XF distribution are also reported.

Abstract

We report results of a search for CP violation in the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays D+ -> K- K+ pi+, phi pi+, K*(892)0 K+, and pi- pi+ pi+ based on data from the charm hadroproduction experiment E791 at Fermilab. We search for a difference in the D+ and D- decay rates for each of the final states. No evidence for a difference is seen. The decay rate asymmetry parameters A(CP), defined as the difference in the D+ and D- decay rates divided by the sum of the decay rates, are measured to be: A(CP)(K K pi) = -0.014 +/- 0.029, A(CP)(phi pi) = -0.028 +/- 0.036, A(CP)(K*(892) K) = -0.010 +/- 0.050, and A(CP)(pi pi pi) = -0.017 +/- 0.042., 13 pages, 5 figures, 1 table; Elsevier LaTeX
