1. Implications of the multi-minima character of molecular crystal phases onto the free energy

Author: Krummenacher, Marco, Sommer-Jörgensen, Martin, Gubler, Moritz, Finkler, Jonas A., Khajehpasha, Ehsan Rahmatizad, Fisicaro, Giuseppe, and Goedecker, Stefan
Subjects: Condensed Matter - Materials Science, Physics - Computational Physics
Abstract: In recent years, significant advancements in computational methods have dramatically enhanced the precision in determining the energetic ranking of different phases of molecular crystals. The developments mainly focused on providing accurate dispersion corrected exchange correlation functionals and methods for describing the vibrational entropy contributions to the free energy at finite temperatures. Several molecular crystals phases were recently found to have of multi-minima character. For our investigations we highlight the multi-minima character in the example of the molecular crystal consisting of N-(4-Methylbenzylidene)-4-methylalanine. We explore its potential energy landscape on the full DFT level or with a machine learned potential that was fitted to DFT data. We calculate not only many local minima but also exact barriers along transformation pathways to demonstrate the multi-minima character of our system. Furthermore, we present a framework, based on the quantum superposition method, that includes both configurational and vibrational entropy. As an example, we show for our system that the transition temperature between two of its phases is afflicted by an error of about 200 K if the multi-minima character is not taken into account. This indicates that it is absolutely essential to consider configurational entropy to obtain reliable finite temperature free energy rankings for complex molecular crystals.

5. Performing highly efficient Minima Hopping structure predictions using the Atomic Simulation Environment (ASE)

Author: Krummenacher, Marco, Gubler, Moritz, Finkler, Jonas A., Huber, Hannes, Sommer-Jörgensen, Martin, and Goedecker, Stefan
Subjects: Physics - Computational Physics
Abstract: In the dynamic field of materials science, the quest to find optimal structures with low potential energy is of great significance. Over the past two decades, the minima hopping algorithm has emerged as a successful tool in this pursuit. We present a robust, user friendly and efficient implementation of the minima hopping algorithm as a Python library, enhancing in this way the global structure optimization simulations significantly. Our implementation significantly accelerates the exploration the potential energy surfaces, leveraging an MPI parallelization scheme that allows for multi level parallelization. In this scheme, multiple minima hopping processes are running simultaneously communicating their findings to a single database and, therefore, sharing information with each other about which parts of the potential energy surface have already been explored. Also multiple features from several existing implementations such as variable cell shape molecular dynamics and combined atomic position and cell geometry optimization for bulk systems, enhanced temperature feedback and fragmentation fixing for clusters are included in this implementation. Finally, this implementation takes advantage of the Atomic Simulation Environment (ASE) Python library allowing for high flexibility regarding the underlying energy and force evaluation.

Abstract: The LHCb upgrade represents a major change of the experiment. The detectors have been almost completely renewed to allow running at an instantaneous luminosity five times larger than that of the previous running periods. Readout of all detectors into an all-software trigger is central to the new design, facilitating the reconstruction of events at the maximum LHC interaction rate, and their selection in real time. The experiment's tracking system has been completely upgraded with a new pixel vertex detector, a silicon tracker upstream of the dipole magnet and three scintillating fibre tracking stations downstream of the magnet. The whole photon detection system of the RICH detectors has been renewed and the readout electronics of the calorimeter and muon systems have been fully overhauled. The first stage of the all-software trigger is implemented on a GPU farm. The output of the trigger provides a combination of totally reconstructed physics objects, such as tracks and vertices, ready for final analysis, and of entire events which need further offline reprocessing. This scheme required a complete revision of the computing model and rewriting of the experiment's software., Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at http://lhcbproject.web.cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/LHCbProjectPublic/LHCb-DP-2022-002.html (LHCb public pages)

9. Realistic vs. Effective: An Analysis of Educators' Perceptions of Traditional and Co-Teaching Models of Student Teaching

Author: Patricia Joergensen and Jennifer L. Fisler
Abstract: Using the Danielson Framework for Teaching, we compare educators' perceptions of the effectiveness of traditional and co-teaching student teaching models. This study frames student teaching as a community of practice with Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development as a key feature of the experience. This study uses a mixed methods sequential design. Our data indicate the co-teaching model outperforms the traditional student teaching model on all Danielson components and was preferred by the majority of our participants. Recommendations for teacher preparation and further study of student teaching are discussed.

14. A transition from boundary- to bulk-driven acoustic streaming due to nonlinear thermoviscous effects at high acoustic energy densities

Author: Joergensen, Jonas Helboe, Qiu, Wei, and Bruus, Henrik
Subjects: Physics - Fluid Dynamics
Abstract: Acoustic streaming is studied in a rectangular microfluidic channel. It is demonstrated theoretically, numerically, and experimentally with good agreement, frictional heating can alter the streaming pattern qualitatively at high acoustic energy densities E_ac above 500 J/m^3. The study shows, how as a function of increasing E_ac at fixed frequency, the traditional boundary-driven four streaming rolls created at a half-wave standing-wave resonance, transition into two large streaming rolls. This nonlinear transition occurs because friction heats up the fluid resulting in a temperature gradient, which spawns an acoustic body force in the bulk that drives thermoacoustic streaming., Comment: 6 pages, 2 pdf figures, REVTex 4.1

Author: Joergensen, Jonas Helboe and Bruus, Henrik
Subjects: Physics - Fluid Dynamics
Abstract: A theoretical model of thermal boundary layers and acoustic heating in microscale acoustofluidic devices is presented. It includes effective boundary conditions allowing for simulations in three dimensions. The model is extended by an iterative scheme to incorporate nonlinear thermoviscous effects not captured by standard perturbation theory. The model predicts that the dominant nonperturbative effects in these devices are due to the dependency of thermoacoustic streaming on gradients in the steady temperature induced by a combination of internal frictional heating, external heating, and thermal convection. The model enables simulations in a nonperturbative regime relevant for design and fabrication of high-throughput acoustofluidic devices., Comment: 15 pages, 6 pdf figures, REVTeX 4.2

Abstract: Edge computing is projected to have profound implications in the coming decades, proposed to provide solutions for applications such as augmented reality, predictive functionalities, and collaborative Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). For such applications, edge computing addresses the new computational needs, as well as privacy, availability, and real-time constraints, by providing local high-performance computing capabilities to deal with the limitations and constraints of cloud and embedded systems. Our interests lie in the applications of edge computing as part of CPS, where several properties (or attributes) of trustworthiness, including safety, security, and predictability/availability are of particular concern, each facing challenges for the introduction of edge-based CPS. We present the results of a systematic mapping study, a kind of systematic literature survey, investigating the use of edge computing for CPS with a special emphasis on trustworthiness. The main contributions of this study are a detailed description of the current research efforts in edge-based CPS and the identification and discussion of trends and research gaps. The results show that the main body of research in edge-based CPS only to a very limited extent consider key attributes of system trustworthiness, despite many efforts referring to critical CPS and applications like intelligent transportation. More research and industrial efforts will be needed on aspects of trustworthiness of future edge-based CPS including their experimental evaluation. Such research needs to consider the multiple interrelated attributes of trustworthiness including safety, security, and predictability, and new methodologies and architectures to address them. It is further important to provide bridges and collaboration between edge computing and CPS disciplines.

17. Fast microscale acoustic streaming driven by a temperature-gradient-induced non-dissipative acoustic body force

Author: Qiu, Wei, Joergensen, Jonas Helboe, Corato, Enrico, Bruus, Henrik, and Augustsson, Per
Subjects: Physics - Fluid Dynamics
Abstract: We study acoustic streaming in liquids driven by a non-dissipative acoustic body force created by light-induced temperature gradients. This thermoacoustic streaming produces a velocity amplitude approximately 50 times higher than boundary-driven Rayleigh streaming and 90 times higher than Rayleigh-Benard convection at a temperature gradient of 10 K/mm in the channel. Further, Rayleigh streaming is altered by the acoustic body force at a temperature gradient of only 0.5 K/mm. The thermoacoustic streaming allows for modular flow control and enhanced heat transfer at the microscale. Our study provides the groundwork for studying microscale acoustic streaming coupled with temperature fields., Comment: 6 pages, 3 pdf figures, RevTex-4.1

20. Theory of pressure acoustics with thermoviscous boundary layers and streaming in elastic cavities

Author: Joergensen, Jonas H. and Bruus, Henrik
Subjects: Physics - Fluid Dynamics
Abstract: We present an effective thermoviscous theory of acoustofluidics including pressure acoustics, thermoviscous boundary layers, and streaming for fluids embedded in elastic cavities. By including thermal fields, we thus extend the effective viscous theory by Bach and Bruus, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 144, 766 (2018). The acoustic temperature field and the thermoviscous boundary layers are incorporated analytically as effective boundary conditions and time-averaged body forces on the thermoacoustic bulk fields. Because it avoids resolving the thin boundary layers, the effective model allows for numerical simulation of both thermoviscous acoustic and time-averaged fields in 3D models of acoustofluidic systems. We show how the acoustic streaming depends strongly on steady and oscillating thermal fields through the temperature dependency of the material parameters, in particular the viscosity and the compressibility, affecting both the boundary conditions and spawning additional body forces in the bulk. We also show how even small steady temperature gradients (1 K/mm) induce gradients in compressibility and density that may result in very high streaming velocities (1 mm/s) for moderate acoustic energy densities (100 J/m^3)., Comment: 12 pages, 4 pdf figures, RevTex

Author: Jörgensen, Eskil, Zach, Christopher, and Kahl, Fredrik
Subjects: Computer Science - Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, Computer Science - Machine Learning, Computer Science - Robotics
Abstract: Three-dimensional object detection from a single view is a challenging task which, if performed with good accuracy, is an important enabler of low-cost mobile robot perception. Previous approaches to this problem suffer either from an overly complex inference engine or from an insufficient detection accuracy. To deal with these issues, we present SS3D, a single-stage monocular 3D object detector. The framework consists of (i) a CNN, which outputs a redundant representation of each relevant object in the image with corresponding uncertainty estimates, and (ii) a 3D bounding box optimizer. We show how modeling heteroscedastic uncertainty improves performance upon our baseline, and furthermore, how back-propagation can be done through the optimizer in order to train the pipeline end-to-end for additional accuracy. Our method achieves SOTA accuracy on monocular 3D object detection, while running at 20 fps in a straightforward implementation. We argue that the SS3D architecture provides a solid framework upon which high performing detection systems can be built, with autonomous driving being the main application in mind., Comment: For associated videos file, see http://tinyurl.com/SS3D-YouTube ; without supplementary material

27. How Gender-based Relationships Between a Student and Advisor in Economics Ph.D. Programs Impact Future Student Success

Author: Joergensen, Emma
Abstract: This paper examines how an economics PhD student's gender-based relationship with their advisor impacts their success. Women are historically underrepresented in the field of economics, and this paper examines student-advisor gender configurations to determine if the gender matching of a student and advisor is an early indicator of future success. I use data on the first job placement of a student, their PhD advisor, and their tenure status at their first job to determine if there are gender differences in the success rate of students with female advisors. This paper finds that female advisors are more likely to have female students and that there is no gender difference in the success rate of students with female advisors.

Author: Ardila, L. A. Peña, Jörgensen, N. B., Pohl, T., Giorgini, S., Bruun, G. M., and Arlt, J. J.
Subjects: Condensed Matter - Quantum Gases
Abstract: Recently, two independent experiments reported the observation of long-lived polarons in a Bose-Einstein condensate, providing an excellent setting to study the generic scenario of a mobile impurity interacting with a quantum reservoir. Here, we expand the experimental analysis by disentangling the effects of trap inhomogeneities and the many-body continuum in one of these experiments. This makes it possible to extract the energy of the polaron at a well-defined density as a function of the interaction strength. Comparisons with quantum Monte-Carlo as well as diagrammatic calculations show good agreement, and provide a more detailed picture of the polaron properties at stronger interactions than previously possible. Moreover, we develop a semi-classical theory for the motional dynamics and three-body loss of the polarons, which partly explains a previously unresolved discrepancy between theory and experimental observations for repulsive interactions. Finally, we utilize quantum Monte-Carlo calculations to demonstrate that the findings reported in the two experiments are consistent with each other.

Abstract: A measurement of the shape of the differential decay rate and the associated Isgur-Wise function for the decay $\Lambda_b^0\to\Lambda_c^+\mu^-\overline{\nu}$ is reported, using data corresponding to $3 fb^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions. The $\Lambda_c^+\mu^-\overline{\nu}$(+ anything) final states are reconstructed through the detection of a muon and a $\Lambda_c^+$ baryon decaying into $pK^-\pi^+$, and the decays $\Lambda_b^0\to\Lambda_c^+\pi^+\pi^-\mu^-\overline{\nu}$ are used to determine contributions from $\Lambda_b^0\to \Lambda_c^{\star+}\mu ^-\bar{\nu}$ decays. The measured dependence of the differential decay rate upon the squared four-momentum transfer between the heavy baryons, $q^2$, is compared with expectations from heavy-quark effective theory and from unquenched lattice QCD predictions., Comment: published version, 24 pages, 5 figures, all figures and tables https://lhcbproject.web.cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/LHCbProjectPublic/LHCb-PAPER-2017-016.html

Abstract: Production of prompt D$^0$ mesons is studied in proton-lead and lead-proton collisions recorded at the LHCb detector at the LHC. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of $1.58\pm0.02$ nb$^{-1}$ recorded at a nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=5$ TeV. Measurements of the differential cross-section, the forward-backward production ratio and the nuclear modification factor are reported using D$^0$ candidates with transverse momenta less than 10 GeV/c and rapidities in the ranges $1.5

Abstract: The charmless three-body decays $B^0_{(s)} \to K_{\mathrm{\scriptscriptstyle S}}^0 h^+ h^{\prime -}$ (where $h^{(\prime)} = \pi, K$) are analysed using a sample of $pp$ collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3\mbox{fb}^{-1}$. The branching fractions are measured relative to that of the $B^0 \to K_{\mathrm{\scriptscriptstyle S}}^0 \pi^{+} \pi^{-}$ decay, and are determined to be: \begin{eqnarray*} \frac{{\cal B}(B^0\rightarrow K^0_{\rm S}K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp})}{{\cal B}(B^0\rightarrow K^0_{\rm S}\pi^{+}\pi^{-})} = {} & 0.123 \pm 0.009 \; \mathrm{\,(stat)}\; \pm 0.015 \; \mathrm{\,(syst)}\,, \frac{{\cal B}(B^0\rightarrow K^0_{\rm S}K^{+}K^{-})} {{\cal B}(B^0\rightarrow K^0_{\rm S}\pi^{+}\pi^{-})} = {} & 0.549 \pm 0.018 \; \mathrm{\,(stat)}\; \pm 0.033 \; \mathrm{\,(syst)}\,, \frac{{\cal B}(B_{s}^0\rightarrow K^0_{\rm S}\pi^{+}\pi^{-})}{{\cal B}(B^0\rightarrow K^0_{\rm S}\pi^{+}\pi^{-})} = {} & 0.191 \pm 0.027 \; \mathrm{\,(stat)}\; \pm 0.031 \; \mathrm{\,(syst)}\; \pm 0.011 \; (f_s/f_d) \,, \frac{{\cal B}(B_{s}^0\rightarrow K^0_{\rm S}K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp})} {{\cal B}(B^0\rightarrow K^0_{\rm S}\pi^{+}\pi^{-})} = {} & 1.70\phantom{0} \pm 0.07\phantom{0} \; \mathrm{\,(stat)} \; \pm 0.11\phantom{0} \; \mathrm{\,(syst)}\; \pm 0.10\phantom{0} \; (f_s/f_d) \,, \frac{{\cal B}(B_{s}^0\rightarrow K^0_{\rm S}K^{+}K^{-})}{{\cal B}(B^0\rightarrow K^0_{\rm S}\pi^{+}\pi^{-})} \in {} & [0.008 - 0.051] \rm ~at~90\%~confidence~level, \end{eqnarray*} where $f_s/f_d$ represents the ratio of hadronisation fractions of the $B^0_s$ and $B^0$ mesons., Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lhcbproject.web.cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/LHCbProjectPublic/LHCb-PAPER-2017-010.html

Abstract: The production of J/$\psi$ mesons is studied in proton-lead collisions at the centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair $\sqrt{s_{\text{NN}}}=8.16$ TeV with the LHCb detector at the LHC. The double differential cross-sections of prompt and nonprompt J/$\psi$ production are measured as functions of the J/$\psi$ transverse momentum and rapidity in the nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass frame. Forward-to-backward ratios and nuclear modification factors are determined. The results are compared with theoretical calculations based on collinear factorisation using nuclear parton distribution functions, on the colour glass condensate or on coherent energy loss models., Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lhcbproject.web.cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/LHCbProjectPublic/LHCb-PAPER-2017-014.html

Abstract: Using decays to $\phi$-meson pairs, the inclusive production of charmonium states in $b$-hadron decays is studied with $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0fb^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. Denoting by $B_C\equiv B(b\to CX)\times B(C\to\phi\phi)$ the inclusive branching fraction of a $b$ hadron to a charmonium state $C$ that decays into a pair of $\phi$ mesons, ratios $R^{C1}_{C2}\equiv B_{C1}/B_{C2}$ are determined as $R^{\chi_{c0}}_{\eta_c(1S)}=0.147\pm0.023\pm0.011$, $R^{\chi_{c1}}_{\eta_c (1S)}=0.073\pm0.016\pm0.006$, $R^{\chi_{c2}}_{\eta_c (1S)}=0.081\pm0.013\pm0.005$, $R^{\chi_{c1}}_{\chi_{c0}}=0.50\pm0.11\pm0.01$, $R^{\chi_{c2}}_{\chi_{c0}}=0.56\pm0.10\pm0.01$ and $R^{\eta_c (2S)}_{\eta_c(1S)}=0.040\pm0.011\pm0.004$. Here and below the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. Upper limits at $90\%$ confidence level for the inclusive production of $X(3872)$, $X(3915)$ and $\chi_{c2}(2P)$ states are obtained as $R^{X(3872)}_{\chi_{c1}}<0.34$, $R^{X(3915)}_{\chi_{c0}}<0.12$ and $R^{\chi_{c2}(2P)}_{\chi_{c2}}<0.16$. Differential cross-sections as a function of transverse momentum are measured for the $\eta_c(1S)$ and $\chi_c$ states. The branching fraction of the decay $B_s^0\rightarrow\phi\phi\phi$ is measured for the first time, $B(B_s^0\to\phi\phi\phi)=(2.15\pm0.54\pm0.28\pm0.21_{B})\times 10^{-6}$. Here the third uncertainty is due to the branching fraction of the decay $B_s^0\to\phi\phi$, which is used for normalization. No evidence for intermediate resonances is seen. A preferentially transverse $\phi$ polarization is observed. The measurements allow the determination of the ratio of the branching fractions for the $\eta_c(1S)$ decays to $\phi\phi$ and $p\bar{p}$ as $B(\eta_c(1S)\to\phi\phi)/B(\eta_c(1S)\to p\bar{p})=1.79\pm0.14\pm0.32$., Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lhcbproject.web.cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/LHCbProjectPublic/LHCb-PAPER-2017-007.html .

Abstract: A search for the decay $K^0_{\scriptscriptstyle S}\to\mu^+\mu^-$ is performed, based on a data sample of proton-proton collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The observed yield is consistent with the background-only hypothesis, yielding a limit on the branching fraction of ${\cal B}(K^0_{\scriptscriptstyle S}\to\mu^+\mu^-) < 0.8~(1.0) \times 10^{-9}$ at $90\%~(95\%)$ confidence level. This result improves the previous upper limit on the branching fraction by an order of magnitude., Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lhcbproject.web.cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/LHCbProjectPublic/LHCb-PAPER-2017-009.html

Abstract: A test of lepton universality, performed by measuring the ratio of the branching fractions of the $B^{0} \rightarrow K^{*0}\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ and $B^{0} \rightarrow K^{*0}e^{+}e^{-}$ decays, $R_{K^{*0}}$, is presented. The $K^{*0}$ meson is reconstructed in the final state $K^{+}\pi^{-}$, which is required to have an invariant mass within 100$\mathrm{\,MeV}c^2$ of the known $K^{*}(892)^{0}$ mass. The analysis is performed using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 3$\mathrm{\,fb}^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8$\mathrm{\,TeV}$. The ratio is measured in two regions of the dilepton invariant mass squared, $q^{2}$, to be \begin{eqnarray*} R_{K^{*0}} = \begin{cases} 0.66~^{+~0.11}_{-~0.07}\mathrm{\,(stat)} \pm 0.03\mathrm{\,(syst)} & \textrm{for } 0.045 < q^{2} < 1.1~\mathrm{\,GeV^2}c^4 \, , \\ 0.69~^{+~0.11}_{-~0.07}\mathrm{\,(stat)} \pm 0.05\mathrm{\,(syst)} & \textrm{for } 1.1\phantom{00} < q^{2} < 6.0~\mathrm{\,GeV^2}c^4 \, . \end{cases} \end{eqnarray*} The corresponding 95.4\% confidence level intervals are $[0.52, 0.89]$ and $[0.53, 0.94]$. The results, which represent the most precise measurements of $R_{K^{*0}}$ to date, are compatible with the Standard Model expectations at the level of 2.1--2.3 and 2.4--2.5 standard deviations in the two $q^{2}$ regions, respectively., Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lhcbproject.web.cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/LHCbProjectPublic/LHCb-PAPER-2017-013.html

Abstract: We report on a measurement of the flavor-specific $B^{0}_{s}$ lifetime and of the $D^{-}_{s}$ lifetime using proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, collected by the LHCb experiment and corresponding to 3.0 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. Approximately 407 000 $B^{0}_{s} \rightarrow D^{(*)-}_{s} \mu^{+}\nu_\mu $ decays are partially reconstructed in the $K^{+}K^{-}\pi^{-}\mu^{+}$ final state. The $B^{0}_{s}$ and $D^{-}_{s}$ natural widths are determined using, as a reference, kinematically similar $B^{0} \rightarrow D^{(*)-}\mu^{+}\nu_\mu$ decays reconstructed in the same final state. The resulting differences between widths of $B^{0}_{s}$ and $B^{0}$ mesons and of $D^{-}_{s}$ and $D^{-}$ mesons are $\Delta_\Gamma(B) =-0.0115 \pm 0.0053 (stat) \pm 0.0041 (syst)$ ps$^{-1}$ and $\Delta_\Gamma(D) = 1.0131 \pm 0.0117 (stat) \pm 0.0065 (syst)$ ps$^{-1}$, respectively. Combined with the known $B^{0}$ and $D^{-}$ lifetimes, these yield the flavor-specific $B^{0}_{s}$ lifetime, $\tau^{\rm fs}_{B^{0}_{s}} = 1.547 \pm 0.013 (stat) \pm 0.010 (syst) \pm 0.004 (\tau_{B})$ ps and the $D^{-}_{s}$ lifetime, $\tau_{D^{-}_{s}} = 0.5064 \pm 0.0030 (stat) \pm 0.0017 (syst) \pm 0.0017 (\tau_{D})$ ps The last uncertainties originate from the limited knowledge of the $B^0$ and $D^{-}$ lifetimes. The results improve upon current determinations., Comment: 16 pages, 8 figures. Minor editorial changes to match the published version.

Abstract: Decays of $B^0$ and $B_{s}^0$ mesons to the charmless baryonic final states $p \overline{p} h^+ h^{\prime-}$, where $h$ and $h^\prime$ each denote a kaon or a pion, are searched for using the LHCb detector. The analysis is based on a sample of proton-proton collision data collected at center-of-mass energies of $7$ and $8\,$TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3\,$fb$^{-1}$. Four-body charmless baryonic $B_{s}^0$ decays are observed for the first time. The decays $B^0_{s}\to p \overline{p} K^+ K^-$, $B^0_{s}\to p \overline{p} K^\pm \pi^\mp$, $B^0\to p \overline{p} K^\pm \pi^\mp$ and $B^0\to p \overline{p} \pi^+\pi^-$ are observed with a significance greater than $5$ standard deviations; evidence at $4.1$ standard deviations is found for the $B^0\to p \overline{p} K^+ K^-$ decay and an upper limit is set on the branching fraction for $B^0_{s}\to p \overline{p} \pi^+ \pi^-$. Branching fractions in the kinematic region $m(p \overline{p})<2850\,$MeV$/c^2$ are measured relative to the $B^0 \to J/\psi (\to p \overline{p}) K^*(892)^0$ channel., Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lhcbproject.web.cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/LHCbProjectPublic/LHCb-PAPER-2017-005.html

Abstract: The decays of $B_s^0$ and $\overline{B}_s^0$ mesons into the $J/\psi K^+K^-$ final state are studied in the $K^+K^-$ mass region above the $\phi(1020)$ meson in order to determine the resonant substructure and measure the $CP$-violating phase, $\phi_s$, the decay width, $\Gamma_s$, and the width difference between light and heavy mass eigenstates, $\Delta\Gamma_s$. A decay-time dependent amplitude analysis is employed. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of $3{\rm fb}^{-1}$ produced in 7 and 8 Tev $pp$ collisions at the LHC, collected by the LHCb experiment. The measurement determines $\phi_s = 119\pm107\pm34 {\rm \, mrad}$. A combination with previous LHCb measurements using similar decays into the $J/\psi \pi^+\pi^-$ and $J/\psi\phi(1020)$ final states gives $\phi_s=1\pm37 {\rm \,mrad}$, consistent with the Standard Model prediction., Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lhcbproject.web.cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/LHCbProjectPublic/LHCb-PAPER-2017-008.html

Abstract: We report the first observation of a baryonic $B_s^0$ decay, $B_s^0 \to p \kern 0.1em\overline{\kern -0.1em\Lambda} K^-$, using proton-proton collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. The branching fraction is measured to be $ \mathcal{B}(B_s^0 \to p \kern 0.1em\overline{\kern -0.1em\Lambda} K^-) + \mathcal{B}(B_s^0 \to \bar{p} \Lambda K^+) = \left[5.46 \pm 0.61 \pm 0.57 \pm 0.50 (\mathcal{B}) \pm 0.32 (f_s/f_d)\right]\times 10^{-6}, $ where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic, the third uncertainty accounts for the experimental uncertainty on the branching fraction of the $B^0 \to p \kern 0.1em\overline{\kern -0.1em\Lambda} \pi^-$ decay used for normalization, and the fourth uncertainty relates to the knowledge of the ratio of $b$-quark hadronization probabilities $f_s/f_d$., Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lhcbproject.web.cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/LHCbProjectPublic/LHCb-PAPER-2017-012.html

Abstract: The $B^+ \to D^{*-}K^+\pi^+$ decay potentially provides an excellent way to investigate charm meson spectroscopy. The decay is searched for in a sample of proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3~{\rm fb}^{-1}$. A clear signal is observed, and the ratio of its branching fraction to that of the $B^+ \to D^{*-}\pi^+\pi^+$ normalisation channel is measured to be \begin{equation*} \frac{\mathcal{B}(B^+ \to D^{*-}K^+\pi^+)}{\mathcal{B}(B^+ \to D^{*-}\pi^+\pi^+)} = \left( 6.39 \pm 0.27 \pm 0.48 \right) \times 10^{-2} \, , \end{equation*} where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. This is the first observation of the $B^+ \to D^{*-}K^+\pi^+$ decay., Comment: 9 pages + authorlist. Submitted to PRD.

Abstract: The first observation of the decays $\Lambda_b^0 \to \chi_{c1} p K^-$ and $\Lambda_b^0 \to \chi_{c2} p K^-$ is reported using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0$ fb$^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb experiment in $pp$ collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The following ratios of branching fractions are measured \begin{eqnarray*} \frac{{\cal B}(\Lambda_b^0 \to \chi_{c1} p K^-)}{{\cal B}(\Lambda_b^0 \to J/\psi p K^-)} = 0.242 \pm 0.014 \pm 0.013 \pm 0.009, \frac{{\cal B}(\Lambda_b^0 \to \chi_{c2} p K^-)}{{\cal B}(\Lambda_b^0 \to J/\psi p K^-)} = 0.248 \pm 0.020 \pm 0.014 \pm 0.009, \frac{{\cal B}(\Lambda_b^0 \to \chi_{c2} p K^-)}{{\cal B}(\Lambda_b^0 \to \chi_{c1} p K^-)} = 1.02 \pm 0.10 \pm 0.02 \pm 0.05, \end{eqnarray*} where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third due to the uncertainty on the branching fractions of the $\chi_{c1}\to J/\psi\gamma$ and $\chi_{c2} \to J/\psi\gamma$ decays. Using both decay modes, the mass of the $\Lambda_b^0$ baryon is also measured to be $m_{\Lambda_b^0} = 5619.44 \pm 0.28 \pm 0.26$ MeV/$c^2$, where the first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively., Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lhcbproject.web.cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/LHCbProjectPublic/LHCb-PAPER-2017-011.html

Subjects: High Energy Physics - Experiment
Abstract: The $B^0$, $B^0_s$, $B^+$ and $\Lambda^0_b$ hadron production asymmetries are measured using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The measurements are performed as a function of transverse momentum and rapidity of the $b$ hadrons within the LHCb detector acceptance. The overall production asymmetries, integrated over transverse momentum and rapidity, are also determined., Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lhcbproject.web.cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/LHCbProjectPublic/LHCb-PAPER-2016-062.html

Abstract: A search for the rare decays $B^0_s\to\mu^+\mu^-$ and $B^0\to\mu^+\mu^-$ is performed at the LHCb experiment using data collected in $pp$ collisions corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 4.4 fb$^{-1}$. An excess of $B^0_s\to\mu^+\mu^-$ decays is observed with a significance of 7.8 standard deviations, representing the first observation of this decay in a single experiment. The branching fraction is measured to be ${\cal B}(B^0_s\to\mu^+\mu^-)=\left(3.0\pm 0.6^{+0.3}_{-0.2}\right)\times 10^{-9}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The first measurement of the $B^0_s\to\mu^+\mu^-$ effective lifetime, $\tau(B^0_s\to\mu^+\mu^-)=2.04\pm 0.44\pm 0.05$ ps, is reported. No significant excess of $B^0\to\mu^+\mu^-$ decays is found and a 95 % confidence level upper limit, ${\cal B}(B^0\to\mu^+\mu^-)<3.4\times 10^{-10}$, is determined. All results are in agreement with the Standard Model expectations., Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lhcbproject.web.cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/LHCbProjectPublic/LHCb-PAPER-2017-001.html

Abstract: The $\Xi_c^+ K^-$ mass spectrum is studied with a sample of $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.3 fb$^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb experiment. The $\Xi_c^+$ is reconstructed in the decay mode $p K^- \pi^+$. Five new, narrow excited $\Omega_c^0$ states are observed: the $\Omega_c(3000)^0$, $\Omega_c(3050)^0$, $\Omega_c(3066)^0$, $\Omega_c(3090)^0$, and $\Omega_c(3119)^0$. Measurements of their masses and widths are reported., Comment: 14 pages, 3 figures.

Abstract: A search for the rare decays $B_s^0\to\tau^+\tau^-$ and $B^0\to\tau^+\tau^-$ is performed using proton--proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 3fb$^{-1}$ collected in 2011 and 2012. The $\tau$ leptons are reconstructed through the decay $\tau^-\to\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-\nu_{\tau}$. Assuming no contribution from $B^0\to\tau^+\tau^-$ decays, an upper limit is set on the branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(B_s^0\to\tau^+\tau^-) < 6.8\times 10^{-3}$ at 95% confidence level. If instead no contribution from $B_s^0\to\tau^+\tau^-$ decays is assumed, the limit is $\mathcal{B}(B^0\to\tau^+\tau^-)< 2.1 \times 10^{-3}$ at 95% confidence level. These results correspond to the first direct limit on $\mathcal{B}(B_s^0\to\tau^+\tau^-)$ and the world's best limit on $\mathcal{B}(B^0\to\tau^+\tau^-)$., Comment: 21 pages, 10 figures.

Abstract: A search for $C\!P$ violation in the decay $\Lambda^0_b \to p K^- \mu^+ \mu^-$ is presented. This decay is mediated by flavour-changing neutral-current transitions in the Standard Model and is potentially sensitive to new sources of $C\!P$ violation. The study is based on a data sample of proton-proton collisions recorded with the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3$ $\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. The $\Lambda^0_b \to p K^- \mu^+ \mu^-$ decay is observed for the first time, and two observables that are sensitive to different manifestations of $C\!P$ violation are measured, $\Delta\mathcal{A}_{C\!P} \equiv \mathcal{A}_{C\!P}(\Lambda^0_b \to p K^- \mu^+ \mu^-)-\mathcal{A}_{C\!P}(\Lambda^0_b\to pK^- J/\psi)$ and $a_{C\!P}^{\widehat{T}-odd}$, where the latter is based on asymmetries in the angle between the $\mu^+\mu^-$ and $p K^-$ decay planes. These are measured to be $\Delta\mathcal{A}_{C\!P} = (-3.5 \pm 5.0(stat) \pm 0.2(syst))\times 10^{-2}$, $a_{C\!P}^{\widehat{T}-odd} = (1.2 \pm 5.0(stat) \pm 0.7(syst))\times 10^{-2}$, and no evidence for $C\!P$ violation is found., Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lhcbproject.web.cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/LHCbProjectPublic/LHCb-PAPER-2016-059.html

Abstract: Several recent papers have reported strong signals of selection on European polygenic height scores. These analyses used height effect estimates from the GIANT consortium and replication studies. Here, we describe a new analysis based on the the UK Biobank (UKB), a large, independent dataset. We find that the signals of selection using UKB effect estimates are strongly attenuated or absent. We also provide evidence that previous analyses were confounded by population stratification. Therefore, the conclusion of strong polygenic adaptation now lacks support. Moreover, these discrepancies highlight (1) that methods for correcting for population stratification in GWAS may not always be sufficient for polygenic trait analyses, and (2) that claims of differences in polygenic scores between populations should be treated with caution until these issues are better understood.Editorial noteThis article has been through an editorial process in which the authors decide how to respond to the issues raised during peer review. The Reviewing Editor's assessment is that all the issues have been addressed (see decision letter).
