Abstract

A simple exposure system has been developed for α -irradiation of aqueous DNA solutions, utilizing α -particles from an 241 Am surface source emitting in vacuo . Care is taken for uniform irradiation of the liquid samples at a variety of dose-rates and reliable dosimetry. For α -dosimetry simple but accurate analytical LET-energy and range-energy relations for liquid water are proposed. For γ dosimetry energy transfer by electrons is considered.

Abstract

The CPLEAR collaboration has constructed a detector at CERN for an extensive programme of CP-, T- and CPT-symmetry studies using ${\rm K}^0$ and $\bar{\rm K}^0$ produced by the annihilation of $\bar{\rm p}$'s in a hydrogen gas target. The ${\rm K}^0$ and $\bar{\rm K}^0$ are identified by their companion products of the annihilation ${\rm K}^{\pm} \pi^{\mp}$ which are tracked with multiwire proportional chambers, drift chambers and streamer tubes. Particle identification is carried out with a liquid Cherenkov detector for fast separation of pions and kaons and with scintillators which allow the measurement of time of flight and energy loss. Photons are measured with a lead/gas sampling electromagnetic calorimeter. The required antiproton annihilation modes are selected by fast online processors using the tracking chamber and particle identification information. All the detectors are mounted in a 0.44 T uniform field of an axial solenoid of diameter 2 m and length 3.6 m to form a magnetic spectrometer capable of full on-line reconstruction and selection of events. The design, operating parameters and performance of the sub-detectors are described.}

Abstract

The CPLEAR experiment at CERN studies theCP, T andCPT symmetries in the neutral-kaon system by measuring the rate asymmetries between the decays of initially pure K0 and $$\overline {K^0 } $$ states. Using data taken between 1990 and mid 1994, precise measurements of |η+-|,φ +- and Δm are reported. The comparison of φ+- the superweak phase gives one of the most sensitive tests ofCPT invariance and leads to a new limit on the $$K^0 - \overline {K^0 } $$ mass difference.

Abstract

The interference between CP-conserving Ks and K L → π + π − π 0 decay amplitudes was observed by studying the decay rate asymmetries between initial K 0 and K 0 separately for the phase space regions E CM ( π + ) > E CM ( π − ) and E CM ( π + ) E CM ( π − ). For the parameter λ we found Re(λ) = 0.036 ± 0.010(stat.) −0.003 +0.002 (syst.) and Im(λ) consistent with zero, leading to a branching ratio B = [4.1 −1.9 +2.5 (stat.) −0.6 +0.5 (syst.)] × 10 −7 for the CP-conserving K S → π + π − π 0 decay.

Abstract

Antiproton annihilation at rest in gaseous hydrogen (16 bar pressure) to the final states ρ(770)X andf2(1270)X, whereX stands for one or more neutral mesons, has been studied at LEAR using the CPLEAR detector. Relative branching ratios are given forX =π0,2π0, 3π0 ω in the ρ case, and forX =π0, η in thef2 case. The annihilation channel\(\bar pp \to \rho 3\pi ^0 \) has not been measured before. The fraction of P-wave annihilation is deduced from the ratiof2π0/ρπ0 to be 0.38±0.07, in good agreement with the result previously obtained by CPLEAR from the ratioK+K-/π+π-.

Abstract

Two-charged-pion correlations were studied in\(\bar p\)p(→2π*2π−nπ0,n≥0) annihilations at rest with the CPLEAR detector at the Low-Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR). A strong enhancement was found in the production of pairs of like-sign pions with a small value of the relative fourmomentumQ, with respect to pairs of unlike-sign pions. The observed enhancement was interpreted as a consequence of the Bose-Einstein symmetrization of the two-pion wave function. The data are well represented by a correlation function parametrized as a double-Gaussian; an exponential parametrization is also statistically acceptable. The value of the correlation strength is found to be >1. The high-quality large data samples together with the ability for K± identification and final-state separation allowed the study of systematic effects impacting on theQ dependence of the correlation function and on the extracted space parameters of the pion sources.

Abstract

Bose-Einstein (BE) correlations between like-sign charged pions were studied in pp annihilations at rest into four-prong events, using data taken with the CPLEAR detector at LEAR (CERN). A strong enhancement was found in the production of pairs of like-sign pions of similar momenta, with respect to the pairs of unlike-sign pions. The observed BE- enhancement was used to extract the values for the strength λ of the effect and the radius r of the pion emitting source. The extracted value of λ >l is of relevant importance and clearly does not depend on the assumed parametrization of the correlation function. The influence of the normalization and fitting procedure, the detector resolution, the resonances production and decay and the neutral-pion multiplicity cuts, on the size of the pion source and the strength of the effect was investigated.

Abstract

Simple analytical functions derived from our point source Monte Carlo calculations on the combined attenuation and scatter factor, B exp(-mu r), for 60Co, 137Cs, 198Au, 192Ir, 241Am, 125I (models 6702 and 6711) brachytherapy sources and the nuclide 99Tcm, for water spherical geometries of radii R = 15 and 20 cm, are presented. Our results for the broadly used 60Co, 137Cs, 198Au and 192Ir brachytherapy sources can be compared directly and found in excellent agreement with the widely accepted data of Meisberger et al in the limited distance range for which the latter are valid. Our data, however, can be used with high accuracy outside this distance range. Many discrepancies observed among different data sets available in recent literature are attributable to differences in geometries used. The results for the recently introduced 241Am source are very dissimilar to those produced by any other currently used brachytherapy source. Dose rate distributions, based on the above simple functions, are proposed in accordance with the recommendations for calibration of the brachytherapy sources in terms of reference air kerma rate and were found to be in good agreement with data available in the literature. Our calculations for 125I sources (models 6702 and 6711), provided that the characteristic x-rays from titanium encapsulation are taken into account, support recent experimental and theoretical dose rate distributions indicating that currently accepted values for 125I may be overestimated.

Abstract

We report the first determination of CP violation parameters from parameter from particle—antiparticle asymmetry in the decay of neutral kaons into two charged pions. Observation of such an asymmetry is direct proof of CP violation. A fit to the asymmetry enabled a determination of the parameter η+− to be made, yielding the result |η+−|=[2.32±0.14 (stat.)±0.03 (syst.)]×10−3 and σ+−=42.3°±4.4° (stat.)±0.4° (syst.), with an additional uncertainty of ±1.0° due to the error on the present published value of Δm, the KL0-KS0 mass difference. The magnitudes of both statistical and systematic errors will be significantly reduced in the future.

Abstract

The CPLEAR experiment will measure CP violation parameters in the neutral kaon system, using a low energy antiproton beam from the Low Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR) at CERN. One of its subdetectors, the Particle Identification Detector (PID), makes a fast separation of pions and kaons, which is essential for the experiment. This article describes the design of the PID and its performance during beam tests and during initial runs at LEAR. A pion rejection efficiency of 99.7% for the first level trigger (after 60 ns) is found in the relevant momentum region.

Abstract

The ratio of the branching fractions for p p →K+K− and p p →π+π− was determined with the CPLEAR detector, by stopping antiprotons in a gaseous hydrogen target at 15 bar pressure. It was found to be BR(K+K−)/BR(π+π−)=0.205± 0.016. The fraction of P-wave annihilation at rest at this target density was deduced to be (38±9)%.

Abstract

The combined build-up and attenuation factor, B exp (-mu r), of point isotropic photon sources in a water medium has been calculated using the Monte Carlo method, for energies (20-1500 keV) and distances (1-10 cm) relevant in brachytherapy. For the transport of photons and electrons, up-to-date and self-consistent total, partial and differential cross sections were used. The influence of coherent (Rayleigh) and incoherent (Compton) scattering, as well as the effects of the source and medium geometries on the calculations, were investigated in detail and it was found that these effects can lead to significant deviations from published data, especially at low energies and/or large distances from the sources. Our results can be used for any mono- or multi-energetic photon source in the energy range 20-1500 keV with uncertainties of the order of 2-3%, and they may influence treatment planning especially in the case of organs at risk which are usually near the edge of the body.

Abstract

CP violation has been observed as a time-dependent rate asymmetry between the decays ${⩈erline K}^0 ⌝ghtarrow ≪^{0} ≪^{0}$ and K0 → π0π{0}, where the neutral kaons are produced with definite and individually known strangeness in ${⋏r p}p ⌝ghtarrow{⩈erline K}^0 K^+≪^- $ or pp → K0 K− π+. A special technique for the data analysis has been developed. The values obtained for ϕ00 and ¦ η00¦ are in agreement with those of previous measurements of CP violation.

Abstract

The CPLEAR experiment at CERN measures particle‐antiparticle asymmetries of strangeness‐tagged K0, K0 decays to two‐pion, three‐pion, and semileptonic final states. The technique of CPLEAR is an alternative approach to previous CP‐violation studies. It provides complementary information with different systematics and gives access to novel measurements. The precision of the CP‐violation parameters η+− for π+π−, η+−0 for π+π−π0 and of the T‐violation parameter eT for π±e∓ν will be discussed for the data taken between 1990–1992.

Abstract

The CPLEAR experiment is aiming at precise CP violation tests using initially pure K0- and K0BAR beams from the intense source provided by the annihilation of the LEAR pBAR-beam in hydrogen. The strangeness tagging efficiency and the systematic errors have been studied and found to be in agreement with the design specifications. The measurement of the differential time asymmetry of the pi+pi- decays allowed the direct observation of differences in the decay rates of particles and antiparticles.The CP violating parameters were determined as \eta+/-\ = (2.32 +/- 0.14) . 10(-3) and phi+/- = 42.3-degrees +/- 4.4-degrees. First results in the reconstruction and analysis of the neutral kaon decays into two neutral pions and the K(e)3 decay are presented. Nuclear Physics B

Simple analytical functions derived from point source Monte Carlo calculations on the combined attenuation and scatter factor, B exp(- mu r), for 60Co, 137Cs, 198Au, 192Ir, 241Am, 125I (models 6702 and 6711) brachytherapy sources and the nuclide 99Tcm, for water spherical geometries of radii R=15 and 20 cm are presented. Results for the broadly used 60Co, 137Cs, 198Au and 192Ir brachytherapy sources can be compared directly and found in excellent agreement with the widely accepted data of Meisberger et al in the limited distance range for which the latter are valid. The present authors' data, however, can be used with high accuracy outside this distance range. Dose rate distributions are proposed in accordance with the recommendations for calibration of the brachytherapy sources in terms of reference air kerma rate and were found to be in good agreement with data available in the literature.

Abstract

The CPLEAR experiment at CERN has been designed to measure CP and T violating effects in the neutral kaon system by observing particle-antiparticle asymmetries. The motivation and the physics program of CPLEAR is presented and first analyses of the K0,K0BAR to pi+pi-, pi0pi0 and pi+pi-pi0 decays are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the recent results of the measurement of the CP violating parameters phi+- and eta+- based on first data taken in 1990/1991. Nuclear Physics A

Abstract

Omental adipocytes promote ovarian cancer by secretion of adipokines, cytokines and growth factors, and acting as fuel depots. We investigated if metformin modulates the ovarian cancer promoting effects of adipocytes. Effect of conditioned media obtained from differentiated mouse 3T3L1 preadipoctes on the proliferation and migration of a mouse ovarian surface epithelium cancer cell line (ID8) was estimated. Conditioned media from differentiated adipocytes increased the proliferation and migration of ID8 cells, which was attenuated by metformin. Metformin inhibited adipogenesis by inhibition of key adipogenesis regulating transcription factors (CEBPα, CEBPß, and SREBP1), and induced AMPK. A targeted Cancer Pathway Finder RT-PCR (real-time polymerase chain reaction) based gene array revealed 20 up-regulated and 2 down-regulated genes in ID8 cells exposed to adipocyte conditioned media, which were altered by metformin. Adipocyte conditioned media also induced bio-energetic changes in the ID8 cells by pushing them into a highly metabolically active state; these effects were reversed by metformin. Collectively, metformin treatment inhibited the adipocyte mediated ovarian cancer cell proliferation, migration, expression of cancer associated genes and bio-energetic changes. Suggesting, that metformin could be a therapeutic option for ovarian cancer at an early stage, as it not only targets ovarian cancer, but also modulates the environmental milieu.

Abstract

Simple analytical functions derived from our point source Monte Carlo calculations on the combined attenuation and scatter factor, B exp(-mu r), for 60Co, 137Cs, 198Au, 192Ir, 241Am, 125I (models 6702 and 6711) brachytherapy sources and the nuclide 99Tcm, for water spherical geometries of radii R = 15 and 20 cm, are presented. Our results for the broadly used 60Co, 137Cs, 198Au and 192Ir brachytherapy sources can be compared directly and found in excellent agreement with the widely accepted data of Meisberger et al in the limited distance range for which the latter are valid. Our data, however, can be used with high accuracy outside this distance range. Many discrepancies observed among different data sets available in recent literature are attributable to differences in geometries used. The results for the recently introduced 241Am source are very dissimilar to those produced by any other currently used brachytherapy source. Dose rate distributions, based on the above simple functions, are proposed in accordance with the recommendations for calibration of the brachytherapy sources in terms of reference air kerma rate and were found to be in good agreement with data available in the literature. Our calculations for 125I sources (models 6702 and 6711), provided that the characteristic x-rays from titanium encapsulation are taken into account, support recent experimental and theoretical dose rate distributions indicating that currently accepted values for 125I may be overestimated.

Abstract

The combined build-up and attenuation factor, B exp (-mu r), of point isotropic photon sources in a water medium has been calculated using the Monte Carlo method, for energies (20-1500 keV) and distances (1-10 cm) relevant in brachytherapy. For the transport of photons and electrons, up-to-date and self-consistent total, partial and differential cross sections were used. The influence of coherent (Rayleigh) and incoherent (Compton) scattering, as well as the effects of the source and medium geometries on the calculations, were investigated in detail and it was found that these effects can lead to significant deviations from published data, especially at low energies and/or large distances from the sources. Our results can be used for any mono- or multi-energetic photon source in the energy range 20-1500 keV with uncertainties of the order of 2-3%, and they may influence treatment planning especially in the case of organs at risk which are usually near the edge of the body.
