    The polarizations of promptly produced χ_(c1) and χ_(c2) mesons are studied using data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, in proton-proton collisions at √s=8  TeV. The χ_c states are reconstructed via their radiative decays χ_c → J/ψγ, with the photons being measured through conversions to e⁺e⁻, which allows the two states to be well resolved. The polarizations are measured in the helicity frame, through the analysis of the χ_(c2) to χ_(c1) yield ratio as a function of the polar or azimuthal angle of the positive muon emitted in the J/ψ → μ⁺μ⁻ decay, in three bins of J/ψ transverse momentum. While no differences are seen between the two states in terms of azimuthal decay angle distributions, they are observed to have significantly different polar anisotropies. The measurement favors a scenario where at least one of the two states is strongly polarized along the helicity quantization axis, in agreement with nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics predictions. This is the first measurement of significantly polarized quarkonia produced at high transverse momentum

    We study the string cloud cosmological model in the context of Kantowski-Sachs space-time. For this purpose, the Einstein\u27s field equations are solved for Kantowski-Sachs space-time with strange quark matter coupled to the string cloud by using the relation between metric potentials. The physical and kinematical parameters of the models are studied.Proučavamo kozmološki model s oblakom struna u Kantowski-Sachsovom prostoruvremenu. S tim su ciljem riješene Einsteinove jednadžbe polja za Kantowski-Sachsov prostor-vrijeme, sa stranom kvarkovskom tvari vezanom s oblakom struna, primjenom relacija među metričkim potencijalima.
