Measurement of the cross-section and charge asymmetry of WW bosons produced in proton-proton collisions at s=8\sqrt{s}=8 TeV with the ATLAS detector

This paper presents measurements of the $W^+ \rightarrow \mu^+\nu$ and $W^- \rightarrow \mu^-\nu$ cross-sections and the associated charge asymmetry as a function of the absolute pseudorapidity of the decay muon. The data were collected in proton--proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC and correspond to a total integrated luminosity of 20.2~\mbox{fb^{-1}}. The precision of the cross-section measurements varies between 0.8% to 1.5% as a function of the pseudorapidity, excluding the 1.9% uncertainty on the integrated luminosity. The charge asymmetry is measured with an uncertainty between 0.002 and 0.003. The results are compared with predictions based on next-to-next-to-leading-order calculations with various parton distribution functions and have the sensitivity to discriminate between them.Comment: 38 pages in total, author list starting page 22, 5 figures, 4 tables, submitted to EPJC.

Search for new phenomena in final states with an energetic jet and large missing transverse momentum in pp collisions at √ s = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector

Results of a search for new phenomena in final states with an energetic jet and large missing transverse momentum are reported. The search uses 20.3 fb−1 of √ s = 8 TeV data collected in 2012 with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Events are required to have at least one jet with pT > 120 GeV and no leptons. Nine signal regions are considered with increasing missing transverse momentum requirements between Emiss T > 150 GeV and Emiss T > 700 GeV. Good agreement is observed between the number of events in data and Standard Model expectations. The results are translated into exclusion limits on models with either large extra spatial dimensions, pair production of weakly interacting dark matter candidates, or production of very light gravitinos in a gauge-mediated supersymmetric model. In addition, limits on the production of an invisibly decaying Higgs-like boson leading to similar topologies in the final state are presente

Search for chargino-neutralino production with mass splittings near the electroweak scale in three-lepton final states in √s=13 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector

A search for supersymmetry through the pair production of electroweakinos with mass splittings near the electroweak scale and decaying via on-shell W and Z bosons is presented for a three-lepton final state. The analyzed proton-proton collision data taken at a center-of-mass energy of √s=13  TeV were collected between 2015 and 2018 by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139  fb−1. A search, emulating the recursive jigsaw reconstruction technique with easily reproducible laboratory-frame variables, is performed. The two excesses observed in the 2015–2016 data recursive jigsaw analysis in the low-mass three-lepton phase space are reproduced. Results with the full data set are in agreement with the Standard Model expectations. They are interpreted to set exclusion limits at the 95% confidence level on simplified models of chargino-neutralino pair production for masses up to 345 GeV

Search for direct stau production in events with two hadronic tau-leptons in root s=13 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector

A search for the direct production of the supersymmetric partners ofτ-leptons (staus) in final stateswith two hadronically decayingτ-leptons is presented. The analysis uses a dataset of pp collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of139fb−1, recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LargeHadron Collider at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. No significant deviation from the expected StandardModel background is observed. Limits are derived in scenarios of direct production of stau pairs with eachstau decaying into the stable lightest neutralino and oneτ-lepton in simplified models where the two staumass eigenstates are degenerate. Stau masses from 120 GeV to 390 GeV are excluded at 95% confidencelevel for a massless lightest neutralino

Modelado y análisis en RFEM del puente Striatus.

El puente Striatus es un ejemplo único de cómo la geometría influye de manera decisiva en los esfuerzos de una estructura. En este caso, merced al diseño, se logra que el tablero del puente soporte únicamente esfuerzos de compresión pura. Esto permite su construcción mediante hormigón en masa, al no necesitar refuerzos metálicos, típicamente encargados de absorber la tracción en el hormigón armado. A su vez, este hecho permite emplear hormigón impreso en 3D, minimizando el impacto ambiental de la construcción y el coste de los materiales.<br /

Conocimientos del etiquetado frontal y consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados en alumnos de un Centro de Educación Básica Alternativa, Carabayllo - 2024

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo general, evaluar la relación que existe entre el conocimiento del etiquetado frontal y consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados en alumnos de un Centro de Educación Básica Alternativa de Carabayllo, 2024. La investigación es de tipo básica, con un diseño correlacional y no experimental debido a que no hubo manipulación de las variables. La población y muestra son 100 alumnos y los cuestionarios fueron diseñados sobre conocimientos del etiquetado frontal que tiene 12 Ítems y el cuestionario de consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados tiene 26 ítems. Estos cuestionarios presentaron una validación de jueces de 0,05 y un nivel de confiabilidad de 0,852 y 0,911 obtenidos mediante la prueba piloto. Los resultados estadísticos arrojaron que, existe un nivel de significancia menor a 0,05 en según la prueba de Fisher. Por tal motivo se ha logrado concluir que hay una correlación significativa entre el conocimiento del etiquetado frontal y el consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados

Encontro Europa-Oriente, Oriente-Europa. Perspectivas Coloniais dos Séculos XIX e XX

Foi em busca de «cristãos e especiarias», gente e comércio, que os portugueses se voltaram para o Oriente no século XV. E abertas as portas marítimas das Índias Orientais, a afluência europeia em força foi apenas uma questão de tempo. Foi, porém, ao longo do século XIX que a presença colonial europeia atingiu uma extensão e uma intensidade desconhecidas anteriormente. Ainda antes da mais conhecida «Corrida a África» na segunda metade do século XIX, já se iniciara uma «Corrida à Ásia». Lançada pelos ingleses, foi seguida por outros países, com repercussões sobre a geografia política, humana e económica local, mas também sobre outras velhas potências ali presentes, como Portugal, que teve de reconsiderar a sua posição. O desenvolvimento desta colonização na Ásia durante os séculos XIX e XX adotou formas diversificadas de acordo com as estruturas de cada Potência. Levou, no entanto, a uma reação local também realizada de formas diferenciadas (da resistência passiva à luta revolucionária), que, mais cedo do que em África, conduziu à descolonização. Pretendeu-se, neste Encontro, suscitar a reflexão sobre as colónias situadas na Ásia no contexto da exploração colonial que os europeus desenvolveram nos séculos XIX e XX, compreendendo elementos diversos, como questões humanas e sociais, a economia, a política, as relações externas, etc. Da mesma forma, considerou-se desejável o contributo para um melhor conhecimento da articulação entre estes espaços e o contexto colonial mais geral, de cada país ou das ligações a outros Estados
