1. IODP Expeditions 309 and 312 Drill an Intact Section of Upper Oceanic Basement into Gabbros

Author: J. C. Alt, D. A. H. Teagle, S. Umino, S. Miyashita, N. R. Banerjee, D. S. Wilson, and the IODP Expeditions 309 and 312 Scientists, and the ODP Leg 206 Scientific Party
Subjects: Geology, QE1-996.5
Abstract: The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program’s (IODP) Expeditions 309 and 312 successfully completed the first sampling of an intact section of upper oceanic crust, through lavas and the sheeted dikes into the uppermost gabbros. Hole 1256D, which was initiated on the Ocean Drilling Program’s (ODP) Leg 206, now penetrates to > 1500 mbsf and > 1250 m sub-basement. The first gabbroic rocks were encountered at 1407 mbsf. Below this, the hole penetrates ~100 m into a complex zone of fractionated gabbros intruded into contact metamorphosed dikes. doi:10.2204/iodp.sd.4.01.2007

Abstract: The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab will search for the charged lepton flavor violating neutrino-less conversion of a negative muon into an electron in the field of an aluminum nucleus [1] , [2] . The Mu2e detector is comprised of a tracker, an electromagnetic calorimeter, and an external veto for cosmic rays. The calorimeter plays an important role in providing excellent particle identification capabilities, a fast and online trigger filter while aiding the track reconstruction capabilities. The calorimeter requirements are to provide a large acceptance for 100-MeV electrons and reach: 1) a time resolution better than 0.5 ns at 100 MeV; 2) an energy resolution O(10%) at 100 MeV; and 3) a position resolution of about 1 cm. The calorimeter consists of two disks, each one made of 674 pure CsI crystals readout by two large-area $2 \times 3$ array of UV-extended silicon photomultipliers (Mu2e SiPMs) of $6\,\,\times6$ mm2 dimensions. A large-scale prototype has been constructed with 51 preproduction crystals readout by 102 Mu2e SiPMs. It has been tested at the beam test facility in Frascati, demonstrating satisfying results compared to the Mu2e requirements. At the moment of writing, the crystals production phase is halfway through the work, while the SiPM production has been completed. An overview of the characterization tests is also reported, together with a description of the final calorimeter design.

Abstract: Axion-like particles (ALPs) are predicted in many extensions of the Standard Model, and their masses can naturally be well below the electroweak scale. In the presence of couplings to electroweak bosons, these particles could be emitted in flavor-changing $B$ meson decays. We report herein a search for an ALP, $a$, in the reaction $B^\pm\rightarrow K^\pm a$, $a\rightarrow\gamma\gamma$ using data collected by the BABAR experiment at SLAC. No significant signal is observed, and 90% confidence level upper limits on the ALP coupling to electroweak bosons are derived as a function of ALP mass, improving current constraints by several orders of magnitude in the range $0.175\,\,\mathrm{GeV} < m_a < 4.78\,\,\mathrm{GeV}$., Comment: 11 pages, 8 figures, submitted to Phys.

Abstract: We study the processes γ γ → η c → η ′ K + K - , η ′ π + π - , and η π + π - using a data sample of 519 fb - 1 recorded with the BABAR detector operating at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy e + e - collider at center-of-mass energies at and near the ϒ ( n S ) ( n = 2 , 3, 4) resonances. This is the first observation of the decay η c → η ′ K + K - and we measure the branching fraction Γ ( η c → η ′ K + K - ) / ( Γ ( η c → η ′ π + π - ) = 0.644 ± 0.03 9 stat ± 0.03 2 sys . Significant interference is observed between γ γ → η c → η π + π - and the nonresonant two-photon process γ γ → η π + π - . A Dalitz plot analysis is performed of η c decays to η ′ K + K - , η ′ π + π - , and η π + π - . Combined with our previous analysis of η c → K K ¯ π , we measure the K 0 * ( 1430 ) parameters and the ratio between its η ′ K and π K couplings. The decay η c → η ′ π + π - is dominated by the f 0 ( 2100 ) resonance, also observed in J / ψ radiative decays. A new a 0 ( 1700 ) → η π resonance is observed in the η c → η π + π - channel. We also compare η c decays to η and η ′ final states in association with scalar mesons as they relate to the identification of the scalar glueball.

Abstract: Background Left ventricular unloading with Impella before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may improve survival outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS). However, the optimal timing to initiate Impella remains controversial. Purpose We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare survival outcomes of patients supported with Impella before PCI (pre-PCI) with those supporte after (post-PCI). Methods This study was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2009 guidelines. Multiple databases were searched through March 2021. All studies evaluating the impact of pre-PCI versus post-PCI Impella placement in patients with AMI-CS were included. A composite primary endpoint included in-hospital, 30-day, and 6-month survival rates. Results We identified five observational studies comparing outcomes in 432 patients with AMI-CS, including 173 patients treated with Impella pre-PCI and 259 patients post-PCI. In the pooled analysis, patients in the pre-PCI group had significantly lower in-hospital mortality compared to patients in the post-PCI group (RR 0.62, 95% CI: 0.50–0.76, I2=0%). Reduced mortality rate in the pre-PCI group persisted through 30-days (HR 0.61, 95% CI: 0.47–0.80, I2=0%) and at 6-months (HR 0.67, 95% CI: 0.45–0.99, I2=0%). There was no difference in the risk of adverse events including re-infarction, stroke, major bleeding, acute ischemic limb, access site bleeding, and hemolysis. Conclusion In a meta-analysis of studies evaluating mortality among AMI-CS patients treated with primary versus bailout left ventricular support, Impella placement prior to PCI was associated with improved survival.

Abstract: Background Prior studies have suggested causal relationships between obesity and acute cardiovascular events (e.g., acute coronary syndrome, hypertensive crisis, and heart failure exacerbation). It has been known that the risk of cardiovascular events is reduced by bariatric surgery, the most effective method for substantial and sustained weight loss. However, little is known about whether bariatric surgery lowers the risk of acute cardiovascular events in the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) population. Purpose To test the hypothesis that patients with obesity and HCM who underwent bariatric surgery have lower risk of developing acute cardiovascular events than those who did not. Methods In this population-based study of adults with obesity and HCM, the bariatric surgery group consisted of patients who underwent bariatric surgery from January 2004 to December 2014, whereas the control group included those who received non-bariatric elective intra-abdominal surgery during the same period. The outcome was an acute cardiovascular event – defined as emergency department (ED) visit or unplanned hospitalization for cardiovascular disease – during a 1-year post-surgery period. We used the SPARCS database, a population-based ED and inpatient database that captures all the ED visits and hospitalizations in New York State. We constructed logistic regression models with generalized estimating equations to compare the risk of the outcome events during sequential 6-month periods. We conducted multivariable analysis, adjusting for age, sex, number of ED visits and hospitalizations for cardiovascular disease within 2 years before the index surgery, and the Elixhauser comorbidity measures. We also performed additional analyses with propensity score (PS)-matching at 2:1 ratio and inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) using these variables. Results The analytic cohort consisted of 207 adults with obesity and HCM, including 147 patients who underwent bariatric surgery and 60 who had non-bariatric elective intra-abdominal surgery. In the 7–12 months post-surgery period, the risk of acute cardiovascular event was significantly lower in the bariatric surgery group (adjusted OR 0.23; 95% CI, 0.068–0.71; P=0.01; Figure) compared to the control group. In the PS-matched cohort (n=82 vs. 47), there were no significant differences in the baseline characteristics (P>0.50 for all comparisons). Similar to the main analysis, the PS-matched analysis demonstrated lower risk of the outcome event in the bariatric surgery group in the 7–12 months post-surgery period (OR 0.26; 95% CI, 0.083–0.73; P=0.01). The IPTW analysis also replicated the findings (OR 0.33; 95% CI, 0.16–0.71; P=0.004 during the 7–12 months post-surgery period). Conclusion In this population-based study of 207 adults with obesity and HCM, bariatric surgery was associated with a lower risk of acute cardiovascular events in the 7–12 months post-surgery period in real-world settings.

The data were collected with the BABAR detector at SLAC. About 14 000 and 4700 events, respectively, are selected from a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 469 fb-1. The invariant mass of the hadronic final state defines the effective e+e- center-of-mass energy. The center-of-mass energies range from threshold to 4.5 GeV. From the mass spectra, the first ever measurements of the e+e-→2(π+π-)π0π0π0 and the e+e-→2(π+π-)π0π0η cross sections are performed. The contributions from ωπ+π-π0π0, η2(π+π-), and other intermediate states are presented. We observe the J/ψ and ψ(2S) in most of these final states and measure the corresponding branching fractions, many of them for the first time.

Abstract: We study the processes γγ → ηc → η0KþK−, η0πþπ−, and ηπþπ− using a data sample of 519 fb−1 recorded with the BABAR detector operating at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e− collider at center-of-mass energies at and near the Υ(nS) (n = 2, 3, 4) resonances. This is the first observation of the decay ηc → η0KþK− and we measure the branching fraction Γðηc → η0KþK−Þ=ðΓðηc → η0πþπ−Þ 1⁄4 0.644 0.039stat 0.032sys. Significant interference is observed between γγ → ηc → ηπþπ− and the nonresonant two-photon process γγ → ηπþπ−. A Dalitz plot analysis is performed of ηc decays to η0KþK−, η0πþπ−, and ηπþπ−. Combined with our previous analysis of ηc → KK ̄ π, we measure the K 0ð1430Þ parameters and the ratio between its η0K and πK couplings. The decay ηc → η0πþπ− is dominated by the f0ð2100Þ resonance, also observed in J=ψ radiative decays. A new a0(1700)→ ηπ resonance is observed in the ηc → ηπþπ− channel. We also compare ηc decays to η and η0 final states in association with scalar mesons as they relate to the identification of the scalar glueball.

Abstract: We report on a precision measurement of the ratio ${\cal R}_{\tau\mu}^{\Upsilon(3S)} = {\cal B}(\Upsilon(3S)\to\tau^+\tau^-)/{\cal B}(\Upsilon(3S)\to\mu^+\mu^-)$ using data collected with the BaBar detector at the SLAC PEP-II $e^+e^-$ collider. The measurement is based on a 28 fb$^{-1}$ data sample collected at a center-of-mass energy of 10.355 GeV corresponding to a sample of 122 million $\Upsilon(3S)$ mesons. The ratio is measured to be ${\cal R}_{\tau\mu}^{\Upsilon(3S)} = 0.966 \pm 0.008_\mathrm{stat} \pm 0.014_\mathrm{syst}$ and is in agreement with the Standard Model prediction of 0.9948 within 2 standard deviations. The uncertainty in ${\cal R}_{\tau\mu}^{\Upsilon(3S)}$ is almost an order of magnitude smaller than the only previous measurement.

Abstract: We present a search for nine lepton-number-violating and three lepton-flavor-violating neutral charm decays of the type D^{0}→h^{'-}h^{-}l^{'+}l^{+} and D^{0}→h^{'-}h^{+}l^{'±}l^{∓}, where h and h^{'} represent a K or π meson and l and l^{'} an electron or muon. The analysis is based on 468 fb^{-1} of e^{+}e^{-} annihilation data collected at or close to the ϒ(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. No significant signal is observed for any of the twelve modes, and we establish 90% confidence level upper limits on the branching fractions in the range (1.0-30.6)×10^{-7}. The limits are between 1 and 3 orders of magnitude more stringent than previous measurements.

Abstract: An angular analysis of the decay B[over ¯]→D^{*}l^{-}ν[over ¯]_{l}, l∈{e,μ}, is reported using the full e^{+}e^{-} collision data set collected by the BABAR experiment at the ϒ(4S) resonance. One B meson from the ϒ(4S)→BB[over ¯] decay is fully reconstructed in a hadronic decay mode, which constrains the kinematics and provides a determination of the neutrino momentum vector. The kinematics of the semileptonic decay is described by the dilepton mass squared, q^{2}, and three angles. The first unbinned fit to the full four-dimensional decay rate in the standard model is performed in the so-called Boyd-Grinstein-Lebed approach, which employs a generic q^{2} parametrization of the underlying form factors based on crossing symmetry, analyticity, and QCD dispersion relations for the amplitudes. A fit using the more model-dependent Caprini-Lellouch-Neubert (CLN) approach is performed as well. Our form factor shapes show deviations from previous fits based on the CLN parametrization. The latest form factors also provide an updated prediction for the branching fraction ratio R(D^{*})≡B(B[over ¯]→D^{*}τ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{τ})/B(B[over ¯]→D^{*}l^{-}ν[over ¯]_{l})=0.253±0.005. Finally, using the well-measured branching fraction for the B[over ¯]→D^{*}l^{-}ν[over ¯]_{l} decay, a value of |V_{cb}|=(38.36±0.90)×10^{-3} is obtained that is consistent with the current world average for exclusive B[over ¯]→D^{(*)}l^{-}ν[over ¯]_{l} decays and remains in tension with the determination from inclusive semileptonic B decays to final states with charm.

Abstract: The Mu2e calorimeter is composed of two disks each containing 1348 pure CsI crystals, each crystal read out by two arrays of 6x6 mm2 monolithic SiPMs. The experimental requirements have been translated in a series of technical specifications for both crystals and SiPMs. Quality assurance tests, on first crystal and then SiPM production batches, confirm the performances of preproduction samples previously assembled in a calorimeter prototype and tested with an electron beam. The production yield is sufficient to allow the construction of a calorimeter of the required quality in the expected times., Comment: 2 pages, 2 figures, 14th meeting on Advanced Detectors

Abstract: Recent investigations have suggested that the six-quark combination uuddss could be a deeply bound state (S) that has eluded detection so far, and a potential dark matter candidate. We report the first search for a stable, doubly strange six-quark state in Upsilon -> S anti-Lambda anti-Lambda decays based on a sample of 90 million Upsilon(2S) and 110 million Upsilon(3S) decays collected by the BABAR experiment. No signal is observed, and 90% confidence level limits on the combined Upsilon(2S,3S) -> S anti-Lambda anti-Lambda branching fraction in the range (1.2-1.4)x10^-7 are derived for m_S < 2.05 GeV. These bounds set stringent limits on the existence of such exotic particles., 7 pages, 4 figures, published version

Abstract: The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab will search for the charged-lepton flavour violating neutrino-less conversion of a negative muon into an electron in the field of an aluminum nucleus. The calorimeter plays an important role in providing a fast trigger filter, excellent particle identification and a seeding for track reconstruction. Its requirements are to provide an energy (timing) resolution better than 10% (0.5 ns) and a position resolution below 1 cm, for 100 MeV electrons. The calorimeter consists of two disks, each one made of 674 un-doped CsI crystals readout by two large area arrays of 2 × 3 UV-extended SiPMs of 6 × 6 mm^2 dimensions. A large scale prototype (Module-0) has been constructed and tested with an electron beam in the energy range between 60 and 120 MeV at the BTF of Frascati National Laboratories. Results demonstrated that this calorimeter satisfies the Mu2e requirements.

Abstract: The Mu2e electromagnetic calorimeter is made of two disks of un-doped parallelepiped CsI crystals readout by SiPM. There are 674 crystals in one disk and each crystal is readout by an array of two SiPM. The readout electronics is composed of two types of modules: 1) the front-end module hosts the shaping amplifier and the high voltage linear regulator; since one front-end module is interfaced to one SiPM, a total of 2696 modules are needed for the entire calorimeter; 2) a waveform digitizer provides a further level of amplification and digitizes the SiPM signal at the sampling frequency of $200\ \text{M}\text{Hz}$ with 12-bits ADC resolution; since one board digitizes the data received from 20 SiPMs, a total of 136 boards are needed. The readout system operational conditions are hostile: ionization dose of $20\ \text{krads}$, neutron flux of $10^{12}\ \mathrm{n}(1\ \text{MeVeq})/\text{cm}^2$, magnetic field of $1\ \text{T}$ and in vacuum level of $10^{-4}\ \text{Torr}$. A description of the readout system and qualification tests is reported.

Abstract: We study the processes $e^+e^-\to 2(\pi^+\pi^-)\pi^0\pi^0\pi^0\gamma$ and $2(\pi^+\pi^-)\pi^0\pi^0\eta\gamma$ in which an energetic photon is radiated from the initial state. The data were collected with the \babar~ detector at SLAC. About 14\,000 and 4700 events, respectively, are selected from a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 469 fb^{-1}. The invariant mass of the hadronic final state defines the effective \epem center-of-mass energy. The center-of-mass energies range from threshold to 4.5 GeV. From the mass spectra, the first ever measurements of the $e^+e^-\to 2(\pi^+\pi^-)\pi^0\pi^0\pi^0$ and the $e^+e^-\to2(\pi^+\pi^-)\pi^0\pi^0\eta$ cross sections are performed. The contributions from $\omega\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0\pi^0$, $\eta2(\pi^+\pi^-)$, and other intermediate states are presented. We observe the $J/\psi$ and $\psi(2S)$ in most of these final states and measure the corresponding branching fractions, many of them for the first time.

Abstract: We present first evidence that the cosine of the CP-violating weak phase 2β is positive, and hence exclude trigonometric multifold solutions of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) Unitarity Triangle using a time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis of B^{0}→D^{(*)}h^{0} with D→K_{S}^{0}π^{+}π^{-} decays, where h^{0}∈{π^{0},η,ω} denotes a light unflavored and neutral hadron. The measurement is performed combining the final data sets of the BABAR and Belle experiments collected at the ϒ(4S) resonance at the asymmetric-energy B factories PEP-II at SLAC and KEKB at KEK, respectively. The data samples contain (471±3)×10^{6}BB[over ¯] pairs recorded by the BABAR detector and (772±11)×10^{6}BB[over ¯] pairs recorded by the Belle detector. The results of the measurement are sin2β=0.80±0.14(stat)±0.06(syst)±0.03(model) and cos2β=0.91±0.22(stat)±0.09(syst)±0.07(model). The result for the direct measurement of the angle β of the CKM Unitarity Triangle is β=[22.5±4.4(stat)±1.2(syst)±0.6(model)]°. The measurement assumes no direct CP violation in B^{0}→D^{(*)}h^{0} decays. The quoted model uncertainties are due to the composition of the D^{0}→K_{S}^{0}π^{+}π^{-} decay amplitude model, which is newly established by performing a Dalitz plot amplitude analysis using a high-statistics e^{+}e^{-}→cc[over ¯] data sample. CP violation is observed in B^{0}→D^{(*)}h^{0} decays at the level of 5.1 standard deviations. The significance for cos2β>0 is 3.7 standard deviations. The trigonometric multifold solution π/2-β=(68.1±0.7)° is excluded at the level of 7.3 standard deviations. The measurement resolves an ambiguity in the determination of the apex of the CKM Unitarity Triangle.

Abstract: We report measurements of sin2β and cos2β using a time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis of B0→D(*)h0 with D→KS0π+π- decays, where the light unflavored and neutral hadron h0 is a π0, η, or ω meson. The analysis uses a combination of the final data sets of the BaBar and Belle experiments containing 471×106 and 772×106 BB¯ pairs collected at the ϒ(4S) resonance at the asymmetric-energy B factories PEP-II at SLAC and KEKB at KEK, respectively. We measure sin2β=0.80±0.14(stat)±0.06(syst)±0.03(model) and cos2β=0.91±0.22(stat)±0.09(syst)±0.07(model). The result for the direct measurement of the angle is β=(22.5±4.4(stat)±1.2(syst)±0.6(model))°. The last quoted uncertainties are due to the composition of the D0→KS0π+π- decay amplitude model, which is newly established by a Dalitz plot amplitude analysis of a high-statistics e+e-→cc¯ data sample as part of this analysis. We find the first evidence for cos2β>0 at the level of 3.7 standard deviations. The measurement excludes the trigonometric multifold solution π/2-β=(68.1±0.7)° at the level of 7.3 standard deviations and therefore resolves an ambiguity in the determination of the apex of the CKM Unitarity Triangle. The hypothesis of β=0° is ruled out at the level of 5.1 standard deviations, and thus CP violation is observed in B0→D(*)h0 decays. The measurement assumes no direct CP violation in B0→D(*)h0 decays.

Abstract: We study the process e^+e^− → e^+e^−η′ in the double-tag mode and measure for the first time the γ⋆γ⋆ → η′ transition form factor F_η′(Q^2_1,Q^2_2) in the momentum-transfer range 2 < Q^2_1, Q^2_2 < 60 GeV^2. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of around 469 fb^(-1) collected at the PEP-II e^+e^− collider with the BABAR detector at center-of-mass energies near 10.6 GeV.

24. Equilibration and thermalization of classical systems

Author: F Jin, T Neuhaus, K Michielsen, S Miyashita, M A Novotny, M I Katsnelson, and H De Raedt
Subjects: Science, Physics, QC1-999
Abstract: Numerical evidence is presented that the canonical distribution for a subsystem of a closed classical system of a ring of coupled harmonic oscillators (integrable system) or magnetic moments (nonintegrable system) follows directly from the solution of the time-reversible Newtonian equation of motion in which the total energy is strictly conserved. Without performing ensemble averaging or introducing fictitious thermostats, it is shown that this observation holds even though the whole system may contain as little as a few thousand particles. In other words, we demonstrate that the canonical distribution holds for subsystems of experimentally relevant sizes and observation times.

Abstract: In this paper, we present measurements of the energy and the time resolution of the Lutetium–Yttrium Oxyorthosilicate (LYSO) calorimeter prototype for the Mu2e experiment. The prototype calorimeter matrix consisted of 25, $\hbox{3}\,\hbox{$\times$}\, \hbox{3}\,\hbox{$\times$}\, \hbox{130\ mm}^3$ , LYSO crystals readout by $10\ \times 10\ \hbox{mm}^2$ Hamamatsu APDs. The prototype has been tested both with the tagged photon beam at MAMI, Mainz, Germany, and with the ${e^ -}$ beam of BTF, Frascati. The energy of particles used ranges between 61.3 and 187.1 MeV (80–130 MeV) for photon (electron) beams. While the MAMI data shows a negligible beam energy spread, we observe a 3%–5% contribution related to the beam in BTF sample. After correcting this effect, we obtain a global energy dependence of the energy resolution described by the formula ${\sigma _{E}}/{{E}_{{\rm {dep}}}}= {a}/\sqrt {{{E}_{{\rm {dep}}}}/{\hbox{GeV}}} \oplus {b}$ , with ${a} = ({0.59} \pm {0.12})\%$ and ${b} = ({3.63} \pm {0.21})\% $ . The simulation is in good agreement with data if we add an additional contribution due to the intrinsic LYSO fluctuation of 2.6%. We present also the measurements of the time resolution. The measurements have been performed using the ${e^ -}$ beam BTF in the energy range from 100 to 400 MeV. A resolution of ( ${161} \pm {3}$ ) ps at 100 MeV has been achieved. The energy dependence of the resolution has been fitted with following parametrization: ${\sigma _{\rm t}}{\rm (E)} = {a}/\sqrt {{E}/{\hbox{GeV}}} \oplus {b}$ , where the stochastic term and the constant term are determined to be ${a} = ({50} \pm {1})$ ps and ${b} = ({40} \pm {3})$ ps, respectively.

Abstract: The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab will search for the charged-lepton flavor violating neutrino-less conversion of a negative muon into an electron in the field of an aluminum nucleus. The Mu2e detector is composed of a tracker, an electromagnetic calorimeter and an external veto for cosmic rays. The calorimeter plays an important role in providing excellent particle identification capabilities and a fast online trigger filter, while aiding the track reconstruction capabilities. Calorimeter requirements are to provide a large acceptance for 0∼10 MeV electrons and reach: I) a time resolution better than 0.5 ns; ii) an energy resolution better than 10%; and iii) a position resolution of 1 cm. The calorimeter consists of two disks, each one made of 674 pure CsI crystals. Each crystal is readout by two large area 2×3 arrays of UV-extended SiPMs of 6×6 mm2 dimensions. A large scale prototype (Module-0) has been tested at an electron beam. We report here the tests done to finalize the calorimeter design, the results obtained with Module-0 and the status of production. At this time, the performance characteristics of 85% of the crystals and all of the SiPMs have been measured. The calorimeter engineering drawings have been completed and the large mechanical components are under fabrication. Analog and digital electronics have been prototyped and tested with irradiation dose. Their serial production is being organized. The calorimeter assembly phase is planned for mid-2020.

Abstract: The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab searches for the coherent neutrino-less muon to electron conversion in the Coulomb field of an aluminum nucleus. This charged-lepton flavor violating process is characterized by a distinctive signature of a mono-energetic electron ( ∼ 105 MeV/c) and its observation will be a clear signature of new physics beyond the Standard Model. The Mu2e goal is to improve by four orders of magnitude the search sensitivity with respect to the previous experiments. The Mu2e detector is composed of a tracker, an electromagnetic calorimeter and an external veto for cosmic rays. The calorimeter plays an important role in providing excellent particle identification capabilities, a fast online trigger filter while aiding the track reconstruction capabilities. It consists of 1348 pure CsI crystals divided in two annular disks, each one readout by two large area Silicon Photomultipliers. A large scale prototype has been tested with an electron beam , demonstrating to largely satisfy the Mu2e requirements. At the moment of writing, the crystals and SiPMs production phase is halfway through the completion. An overview of the characterization tests is reported, together with a description of the final mechanical and electronical design.

Abstract: A search is presented for the four-body decay B0→ppp¯p¯ in a sample of 471 million BB¯ pairs collected with the BABAR detector, operated at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. The center-of-mass energy is 10.58 GeV. From a fit to the distribution of the energy-substituted mass mES, the branching fraction B(B0→ppp¯p¯)=(1.1±0.5±0.2)×10-7 is extracted, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The significance of the signal, including the systematic uncertainty, is 2.9 standard deviations. The upper limit on the branching fraction is determined to be 2.0×10-7 at 90% confidence level.

Abstract: The decay τ^− → K^−K_Sν_τ has been studied using 430×10^6 e^+e^− → τ^+τ^− events produced at a center-of-mass energy around 10.6 GeV at the PEP-II collider and studied with the BABAR detector. The mass spectrum of the K^−K_S system has been measured and the spectral function has been obtained. The measured branching fraction B(τ^− → K^−K_Sν_τ) = (0.739 ± 0.011(stat) ± 0.020(syst)) × 10^(-3) is found to be in agreement with earlier measurements.

Abstract: Since the first version of the Mu2e TDR released at the beginning of 2015, the Mu2e Calorimeter system has undergone a long list of changes to arrive to its final design. These changes were primarily caused by two reasons: (i) the technology choice between the TDR proposed solution of BaF2 crystals readout with solar blind Avalanche Photodiodes (APDs) and the backup option of CsI crystals readout with Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM) has been completed and (ii) the channels numbering, the mechanical system and the readout electronics were substantially modified while proceeding with engineering towards the final project. This document updates the description of the calorimeter system adding the most recent engineering drawings and tecnical progresses.

Abstract: The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab will search for Charged Lepton Flavor Violating conversion of a muon to an electron in an atomic field. The Mu2e detector is composed of a tracker, an electromagnetic calorimeter and an external system, surrounding the solenoid, to veto cosmic rays. The calorimeter plays an important role to provide: a) excellent particle identification capabilities; b) a fast trigger filter; c) an easier tracker track reconstruction. Two disks, located downstream of the tracker, contain 674 pure CsI crystals each. Each crystal is read out by two arrays of UV-extended SiPMs. The choice of the crystals and SiPMs has been finalized after a thorough test campaign. A first small scale prototype consisting of 51 crystals and 102 SiPM arrays has been exposed to an electron beam at the BTF (Beam Test Facility) in Frascati. Although the readout electronics were not the final, results show that the current design is able to meet the timing and energy resolution required by the Mu2e experiment., Comment: 6 pages, 8 figures, proceedings of the "Calorimetry for the high energy frontier (CHEF17)" conference, 2-6 October 2017, Lyon, France

Abstract: The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab will search for the coherent $\mu \to e$ conversion on aluminum atoms. The detector system consists of a straw tube tracker and a crystal calorimeter. A pre-production of 150 Silicon Photomultiplier arrays for the Mu2e calorimeter has been procured. A detailed quality assur- ance has been carried out on each SiPM for the determination of its own operation voltage, gain, dark current and PDE. The measurement of the mean-time-to-failure for a small random sample of the pro-production group has been also completed as well as the determination of the dark current increase as a function of the ioninizing and non-ioninizing dose., Comment: 4 pages, 10 figures, conference proceeding for NSS-MIC 2017

Abstract: The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab searches for the charged-lepton flavour violating (CLFV) conversion of a negative muon into an electron in the field of an aluminum nucleus, with a distinctive signature of a mono-energetic electron of energy slightly below the muon rest mass (104.967 MeV). The Mu2e goal is to improve by four orders of magnitude the search sensitivity with respect to the previous experiments. Any observation of a CLFV signal will be a clear indication of new physics. The Mu2e detector is composed of a tracker, an electro- magnetic calorimeter and an external veto for cosmic rays surrounding the solenoid. The calorimeter plays an important role in providing particle identification capabilities, a fast online trigger filter, a seed for track reconstruction while working in vacuum, in the presence of 1 T axial magnetic field and in an harsh radiation environment. The calorimeter requirements are to provide a large acceptance for 100 MeV electrons and reach at these energies: (a) a time resolution better than 0.5 ns; (b) an energy resolution < 10% and (c) a position resolution of 1 cm. The calorimeter design consists of two disks, each one made of 674 undoped CsI crystals read by two large area arrays of UV-extended SiPMs. We report here the construction and test of the Module-0 prototype. The Module-0 has been exposed to an electron beam in the energy range around 100 MeV at the Beam Test Facility in Frascati. Preliminary results of timing and energy resolution at normal incidence are shown. A discussion of the technical aspects of the calorimeter engineering is also reported in this paper., 8 pages, 16 figures, submitted to IEEE

Abstract: The process e^+e^− → π^+π^−2π^0γ is investigated by means of the initial-state radiation technique, where a photon is emitted from the incoming electron or positron. Using 454.3 fb^(-1) of data collected around a center-of-mass energy of √s = 10.58 GeV by the BABAR experiment at SLAC, approximately 150000 signal events are obtained. The corresponding nonradiative cross section is measured with a relative uncertainty of 3.6% in the energy region around 1.5 GeV, surpassing all existing measurements in precision. Using this new result, the channel’s contribution to the leading order hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon is calculated as (g^(π+π−2π^0)_μ−2)/2=(17.9 ± 0.1_(stat) ± 0.6_(syst))×10^(-10) in the energy range 0.85 GeV < E_(CM) < 1.8 GeV. In the same energy range, the impact on the running of the fine-structure constant at the Z^0-pole is determined as Δα^(π+π−2π0)(M^2_Z) = (4.44 ± 0.02_(stat) ± 0.14_(syst))×10^(-4). Furthermore, intermediate resonances are studied and especially the cross section of the process e^+e^− → ωπ^0 → π^+π^−2π^0 is measured.

Abstract: We report a Dalitz plot analysis of charmless hadronic decays of charged B mesons to the final state K^0_Sπ^+π^0 using the full BABAR data set of 470.9±2.8 million BB[overbar] events collected at the Υ(4S)resonance. We measure the overall branching fraction and CP asymmetry to be B(B^+→K^0π^+π^0)=(31.8±1.8±2.1+^(6.0)_(−0.0))×10^(-6) and A_(CP)(B^+→K^0π^+π^0)=0.07±0.05±0.03^(+0.02)_(−0.03), where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and due to the signal model, respectively. This is the first measurement of the branching fraction for B^+→K^0π^+π^0. We find first evidence of a CP asymmetry in B^+→K∗(892)+π^0 decays: A_(CP)(B^+→K∗(892)^+π^0)=−0.52±0.14±0.04^(+0.04)_(−0.02). The significance of this asymmetry, including systematic and model uncertainties, is 3.4 standard deviations. We also measure the branching fractions and CP asymmetries for three other intermediate decay modes.

Abstract: We search for single-photon events in 53 fb^{-1} of e^{+}e^{-} collision data collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B-Factory. We look for events with a single high-energy photon and a large missing momentum and energy, consistent with production of a spin-1 particle A^{'} through the process e^{+}e^{-}→γA^{'}; A^{'}→invisible. Such particles, referred to as "dark photons," are motivated by theories applying a U(1) gauge symmetry to dark matter. We find no evidence for such processes and set 90% confidence level upper limits on the coupling strength of A^{'} to e^{+}e^{-} in the mass range m_{A^{'}}≤8 GeV. In particular, our limits exclude the values of the A^{'} coupling suggested by the dark-photon interpretation of the muon (g-2)_{μ} anomaly, as well as a broad range of parameters for the dark-sector models.

Abstract: We study the processes e^+e^− → γISR J/ψ, where J/ψ → π^+π^−π^0, J/ψ → K^+K^−π^0, and J/ψ → K^0_SK^±π^∓ using a data sample of 519 fb^(−1) recorded with the BABAR detector operating at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy e^+e^− collider at center-of-mass energies at and near the Υ(nS) (n=2,3,4) resonances. We measure the ratio of branching fractions R_1 = ^(B(J/ψ → K^+K^−π^0)) /_(B(J/ψ → π^+π^−π^0)) and R_2 = ^(B(J/ψ → K^0_SK^±π^∓))/_(B(J/ψ → π^+π^−π^0)). We perform Dalitz plot analyses of the three J/ψ decay modes and measure fractions for resonances contributing to the decays. We also analyze the J/ψ → π^+π^−π^0 decay using the Veneziano model. We observe structures compatible with the presence of ρ(1450) in all three J/ψ decay modes and measure the relative branching fraction: R(ρ(1450)) = ^(B(ρ(1450) → K^+K^−))/_(B(ρ(1450) → π^+π^−)) = 0.307±0.084(stat)±0.082(sys).

Abstract: We report a Dalitz plot analysis of charmless hadronic decays of charged $B$ mesons to the final state $K_{\rm S}^{0}\pi^{+}\pi^{0}$ using the full BaBar dataset of $470.9\pm2.8$ million $B\bar{B}$ events collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance. We measure the overall branching fraction and $CP$ asymmetry to be ${\cal B}\left(B^{+}\to K^{0}\pi^{+}\pi^{0}\right) = \left(45.9 \pm 2.6 \pm 3.0^{+8.6}_{-0.0}\right)\times10^{-6}$ and $A_{CP}\left(B^{+}\to K^{0}\pi^{+}\pi^{0}\right) = 0.07 \pm 0.05 \pm 0.03^{+0.02}_{-0.03}$, where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and due to the signal model, respectively. This is the first measurement of the branching fraction for $B^{+} \to K^{0}\pi^{+}\pi^{0}$. We find first evidence of a $CP$ asymmetry in $B^{+}\to K^{*}(892)^{+}\pi^{0}$ decays: $A_{CP}\left(B^{+}\to K^{*}(892)^{+}\pi^{0}\right)=-0.52 \pm 0.14 \pm 0.04^{+0.04}_{-0.02}$. The significance of this asymmetry, including systematic and model uncertainties, is $3.4$ standard deviations. We also measure the branching fractions and $CP$ asymmetries for three other intermediate decay modes.

Abstract: We search for the rare flavor-changing neutral current process B^{+}→K^{+}τ^{+}τ^{-} using data from the BABAR experiment. The data sample, collected at the center-of-mass energy of the ϒ(4S) resonance, corresponds to a total integrated luminosity of 424 fb^{-1} and to 471×10^{6} BB[over ¯] pairs. We reconstruct one B meson, produced in the ϒ(4S)→B^{+}B^{-} decay, in one of many hadronic decay modes and search for activity compatible with a B^{+}→K^{+}τ^{+}τ^{-} decay in the rest of the event. Each τ lepton is required to decay leptonically into an electron or muon and neutrinos. Comparing the expected number of background events with the data sample after applying the selection criteria, we do not find evidence for a signal. The resulting upper limit, at the 90% confidence level, is B(B^{+}→K^{+}τ^{+}τ^{-})

Abstract: The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab looks for Charged Lepton Flavor Violation (CLFV) improving by 4 orders of magnitude the current experimental sensitivity for the muon to electron conversion in a muonic atom. A positive signal could not be explained in the framework of the current Standard Model of particle interactions and therefore would be a clear indication of new physics. In 3 years of data taking, Mu2e is expected to observe less than one background event mimicking the electron coming from muon conversion. Achieving such a level of background suppression requires a deep knowledge of the experimental apparatus: a straw tube tracker, measuring the electron momentum and time, a cosmic ray veto system rejecting most of cosmic ray background and a pure CsI crystal calorimeter, that will measure time of flight, energy and impact position of the converted electron. The calorimeter has to operate in a harsh radiation environment, in a 10-4 Torr vacuum and inside a 1 T magnetic field. The results of the first qualification tests of the calorimeter components are reported together with the energy and time performances expected from the simulation and measured in beam tests of a small scale prototype., Comment: 11 pages, 7 figures, proceedings of 14th Topical Seminar on Innovative Particle and Radiation Detectors (IPRD16) 3 - 6 October 2016 Siena, Italy, Journal of Instrumentation, Volume 12, January 2017 http://stacks.iop.org/1748-0221/12/i=01/a=C01061

Abstract: The Mu2e calorimeter is composed by $\sim 1400$ un- doped CsI crystals coupled to large area UV extended Silicon Photomultipliers(SIPMs) arranged intwo annular disks. This calorimeter has to provide precise information on energy, timing and position resolution. It should also be fast enough towithstand the high rate background and it mustoperate and survive in a high radiation environment. All steps done for the construction and test of the Module -0 prototype, that is an array of51 pre-production crystals, are reported. The Module -0 was exposed to an electron beam in the energy range around 100 MeV at the BTF (Beam Test Facility) inFrascati. Preliminary results of timing and energy resolution at normal incidence are shown.

Abstract: We describe a measurement of the time-integrated luminosity of the data collected by the BABAR experiment at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider at the ϒ(4S), ϒ(3S), and ϒ(2S) resonances and in a continuum region below each resonance. We measure the time-integrated luminosity by counting e^+e^-→e^+e^- and (for the ϒ(4S) only) e^+e^-→μ^+μ^- candidate events, allowing additional photons in the final state. We use data-corrected simulation to determine the cross-sections and reconstruction efficiencies for these processes, as well as the major backgrounds. Due to the large cross-sections of e^+e^-→e^+e^- and e^+e^-→μ^+μ^-, the statistical uncertainties of the measurement are substantially smaller than the systematic uncertainties. The dominant systematic uncertainties are due to observed differences between data and simulation, as well as uncertainties on the cross-sections. For data collected on the ϒ(3S) and ϒ(2S) resonances, an additional uncertainty arises due to ϒ→e^+e^-X background. For data collected off the ϒ resonances, we estimate an additional uncertainty due to time dependent efficiency variations, which can affect the short off-resonance runs. The relative uncertainties on the luminosities of the on-resonance (off-resonance) samples are 0.43% (0.43%) for the ϒ(4S), 0.58% (0.72%) for the ϒ(3S), and 0.68% (0.88%) for the ϒ(2S).

Abstract: Using a sample of (470.9 +- 2.8) x 10^6 BB-bar pairs, we measure the decay branching fraction B(B^0 -> D^*- pi^+ pi^- pi^+) = (7.26 +- 0.11 +- 0.31) x 10^-3, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. Our measurement will be helpful in studies of lepton universality by measuring B(B^0 -> D^*- tau^+ nu_tau) using tau^+ -> pi^+ pi^- pi^+ nu-bar_tau decays, normalized to B(B^0 -> D^*- pi^+ pi^- pi^+.

Abstract: Using the eight time dependences for the decays Upsilon(4S)-> B0 B0bar -> fj fk with the dacay into a flavor-specific state fj = ell+- X before or after the decay into a CP eigenstate fk = c cbar KS,KL, as measured by the BABAR experiment, we determine the three CPT-sensitive parameters Re(z) and Im(z) in B0-B0bar mixing and |Abar/A| in B0 -> c cbar K0 decays. We find Im(z) = 0.010 +- 0.030 +- 0.013, Re(z) = -0.065 +- 0.028 +- 0.014, and |Abar/A| = 0.999 +- 0.023 +- 0.017, in agreement with CPT symmetry.

Abstract: We measure the $D^0 - {\bar{D}}^0$ mixing parameters using a time-dependent amplitude analysis of the decay $D^0\to\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$. The data were recorded with the BABAR detector at center-of-mass energies at and near the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of approximately 468.1 ${\rm fb}^{-1}$. The neutral $D$ meson candidates are selected from $D^{*}(2010)^+\to D^0 \pi_s^+$ decays where the flavor at the production is identified by the charge of the low momentum pion, $\pi_s^+$. The measured mixing parameters are $x = (1.5\pm1.2\pm0.6) \%$ and $y = (0.2\pm0.9\pm0.5) \%$, where the quoted uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.
