Aguilar, M.,Alcaraz, J.,Allaby, J.,Alpat, B.,Ambrosi, G.,Anderhub, H.,Ao, L.,Arefiev, A.,Arruda, L.,Azzarello, P.,Basile, M.,Barao, F.,Barreira, G.,Bartoloni, A.,Battiston, R.,Becker, R.,Becker, U.,Be IOP Publishing 2011 The Astrophysical journal Vol.736 No.2
<P>The variety of isotopes in cosmic rays allows us to study different aspects of the processes that cosmic rays undergo between the time they are produced and the time of their arrival in the heliosphere. In this paper, we present measurements of the isotopic ratios H-2/He-4, He-3/He-4, Li-6/Li-7, Be-7/(Be-9+Be-10), and B-10/B-11 in the range 0.2-1.4 GeV of kinetic energy per nucleon. The measurements are based on the data collected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, AMS-01, during the STS-91 flight in 1998 June.</P>

<P><B>Objectives:</B></P><P>To assess the efficacy and safety of abatacept in methotrexate-naive patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and poor prognostic factors.</P><P><B>Methods:</B></P><P>In this double-blind, phase IIIb study, patients with RA for 2 years or less were randomly assigned 1 : 1 to receive abatacept (∼10 mg/kg) plus methotrexate, or placebo plus methotrexate. Patients were methotrexate-naive and seropositive for rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-cyclic citrullinated protein (CCP) type 2 or both and had radiographic evidence of joint erosions. The co-primary endpoints were the proportion of patients achieving disease activity score in 28 joints (DAS28)-defined remission (C-reactive protein) and joint damage progression (Genant-modified Sharp total score; TS) at year 1. Safety was monitored throughout.</P><P><B>Results:</B></P><P>At baseline, patients had a mean DAS28 of 6.3, a mean TS of 7.1 and mean disease duration of 6.5 months; 96.5% and 89.0% of patients were RF or anti-CCP2 seropositive, respectively. At year 1, a significantly greater proportion of abatacept plus methotrexate-treated patients achieved remission (41.4% vs 23.3%; p<0.001) and there was significantly less radiographic progression (mean change in TS 0.63 vs 1.06; p = 0.040) versus methotrexate alone. Over 1 year, the frequency of adverse events (84.8% vs 83.4%), serious adverse events (7.8% vs 7.9%), serious infections (2.0% vs 2.0%), autoimmune disorders (2.3% vs 2.0%) and malignancies (0.4% vs 0%) was comparable for abatacept plus methotrexate versus methotrexate alone.</P><P><B>Conclusions:</B></P><P>In a methotrexate-naive population with early RA and poor prognostic factors, the combination of abatacept and methotrexate provided significantly better clinical and radiographic efficacy compared with methotrexate alone and had a comparable, favourable safety profile.</P>
Influence of wavelength-shifting films on multianode PMTs with UV-extended windows
Adamczewski-Musch, J.,Becker, K.-H.,Belogurov, S.,Boldyreva, N.,Chernogorov, A.,Deveaux, C.,Dobyrn, V.,Dü,rr, M.,Eom, J.,Eschke, J.,Hö,hne, C.,Kampert, K.-H.,Kleipa, V.,Kochenda, L.,Kolb, B.,K Elsevier 2015 Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research. Vol.783 No.-
<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Wavelength-shifting (WLS) films were applied on UV-extended front windows of multianode photomultiplier tubes (MAPMTs) in order to increase the sensitivity of the MAPMTs at shorter wavelengths. The WLS material contained p-Terphenyl as photoactive component, which absorbs shorter wavelength photons ( < 300 nm ) and re-emits fluorescence photons around 350nm, i.e., at the maximum of the PMTs׳ sensitivity. The films were applied by means of dip-coating and the film performance was studied with respect to quantum efficiency, film homogeneity, and crosstalk on the MAPMTs. Using WLS-film-covered MAPMTs in a gaseous Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector, the number of detected photoelectrons per ring increased by up to 21% in an in-beam test.</P>

We study the decays of the J/ψ and ψ<SUP>'</SUP> mesons to π<SUP>+</SUP>π<SUP>-</SUP>π<SUP>0</SUP> using data samples at both resonances collected with the BES III detector in 2009. We measure the corresponding branching fractions with unprecedented precision and provide mass spectra and Dalitz plots. The branching fraction for J/ψ→π<SUP>+</SUP>π<SUP>-</SUP>π<SUP>0</SUP> is determined to be(2.137+/-0.004 (stat.)<SUB>-0.056</SUB><SUP>+0.058</SUP> (syst.)<SUB>-0.026</SUB><SUP>+0.027</SUP> (norm.))x10<SUP>-2</SUP>, and the branching fraction for ψ<SUP>'</SUP>→π<SUP>+</SUP>π<SUP>-</SUP>π<SUP>0</SUP> is measured as(2.14+/-0.03 (stat.)<SUB>-0.07</SUB><SUP>+0.08</SUP> (syst.)<SUB>-0.08</SUB><SUP>+0.09</SUP> (norm.))x10<SUP>-4</SUP>. The J/ψ decay is found to be dominated by an intermediate ρ(770) state, whereas the ψ<SUP>'</SUP> decay is dominated by di-pion masses around 2.2 GeV/c<SUP>2</SUP>, leading to strikingly different Dalitz distributions.

Observation of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering
Akimov, D.,Albert, J. B.,An, P.,Awe, C.,Barbeau, P. S.,Becker, B.,Belov, V.,Brown, A.,Bolozdynya, A.,Cabrera-Palmer, B.,Cervantes, M.,Collar, J. I.,Cooper, R. J.,Cooper, R. L.,Cuesta, C.,Dean, D. J.,D American Association for the Advancement of Scienc 2017 Science Vol.357 No.6356
<P>The coherent elastic scattering of neutrinos off nuclei has eluded detection for four decades, even though its predicted cross section is by far the largest of all low-energy neutrino couplings. This mode of interaction offers new opportunities to study neutrino properties and leads to a miniaturization of detector size, with potential technological applications. We observed this process at a 6.7s confidence level, using a low-background, 14.6-kilogram CsI[Na] scintillator exposed to the neutrino emissions from the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Characteristic signatures in energy and time, predicted by the standard model for this process, were observed in high signal-to-background conditions. Improved constraints on nonstandard neutrino interactions with quarks are derived from this initial data set.</P>
Modelling Resonance Dependent Angular Distribution via DBRC in Monte Carlo Codes
R. Dagan,B. Becker,Y. Danon,M. Rapp,G. Lohnert 한국물리학회 2011 THE JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Vol.59 No.23
The development of a new energy dependent double differential resonance scattering kernel by Rothenstein & Dagan, Annals of Nuclear Energy (1998) was shown to have a significant impact on core calculations as far as their criticality, Doppler Effect and the nuclide inventory is concerned. Thereafter, it was of great interest to experimentally validate this scattering kernel in addition to analytically proving its consistency with the integral Doppler broadened cross section, which was achieved by integrating the new kernel over all angles and all scattered energies. This study deals with the unique experiment suggested by Y. Danon at the Gaerttner Linear Accelerator Laboratory at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). The main advantage of this facility is the ability to move the neutron production source off axis relative to the detector beam line. It was, therefore, possible to position the sample, from which the neutron were scattered, on the same axis as the detector. In this way it was possible to directly measure the angular distribution of scattered neutron from heavy nuclides with pronounced resonances. In this study the previous results obtained for ^(238)U were extended to ^(232)Th. Improvements were made to the new resonance scattering kernel by development of a stochastic formalism known as DBRC (Doppler Broadened Rejection Correction) which was implemented by Becker et al. in several Monte Carlo codes. Based on the good agreement between this DBRC model and the measurements presented in this paper, it was shown that the standard asymptotic back angle scattering used previously in Monte Carlo codes differs by almost 80% for highly scattering resonances. Moreover, the scattering angle measurements and the ability to simulate it accurately by means of stochastic methods emphasized the deficiencies of the current methods which use only transmission and capture measurements.
Cosmology from cosmic shear with Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data
Abbott, T.,Abdalla, F. B.,Allam, S.,Amara, A.,Annis, J.,Armstrong, R.,Bacon, D.,Banerji, M.,Bauer, A. H.,Baxter, E.,Becker, M. R.,Benoit-Lé,vy, A.,Bernstein, R. A.,Bernstein, G. M.,Bertin, E.,Bl American Physical Society 2016 Physical Review D Vol.94 No.2
<P>We present the first constraints on cosmology from the Dark Energy Survey (DES), using weak lensing measurements from the preliminary Science Verification (SV) data. We use 139 square degrees of SV data, which is less than 3% of the full DES survey area. Using cosmic shear 2-point measurements over three redshift bins we find sigma(8)(Omega(m)/0.3)(0.5) = 0.81 +/- 0.06 (68% confidence), after marginalizing over 7 systematics parameters and 3 other cosmological parameters. We examine the robustness of our results to the choice of data vector and systematics assumed, and find them to be stable. About 20% of our error bar comes from marginalizing over shear and photometric redshift calibration uncertainties. The current state-of-the-art cosmic shear measurements from CFHTLenS are mildly discrepant with the cosmological constraints from Planck CMB data; our results are consistent with both data sets. Our uncertainties are similar to 30% larger than those from CFHTLenS when we carry out a comparable analysis of the two data sets, which we attribute largely to the lower number density of our shear catalogue. We investigate constraints on dark energy and find that, with this small fraction of the full survey, the DES SV constraints make negligible impact on the Planck constraints. The moderate disagreement between the CFHTLenS and Planck values of sigma(8)(Omega(m)/0.3)(0.5) is present regardless of the value of w.</P>

A careful new measurement of the ^(238)U(n,γ) cross section from 10 eV to 100 keV has been made using the DANCE detector at LANSCE. DANCE is a 4π calorimetric scintillator array consisting of 160 BaF^2 crystals. Measurements were made on a 48 mg/cm^2 depleted uranium target. The cross sections are in general in good agreement with previous measurements. The gamma-ray emission spectra, as a function of gamma multiplicity, were also measured and compared to model calculations.
