    ABSTRACT: The use of diesel engines is growing due to their advantages over the gasoline engines, but they increase nitrogen oxides (NOX) emissions. The ammonia selective catalytic reduction (NH3-SCR) with Cu-based zeolites is the most promising and studied technique for the abatement of NOX. However, research under more realistic conditions, such as including hydrocarbons on the simulated gas, needs to be studied deeply. We selected Cu-ZSM-5, Cu-SSZ-13, and Cu-SAPO-34 (three of the most successful and investigated catalysts in the NH3-SCR of NOX) to perform a series of experiments regarding the effect of propylene and dodecane (two hydrocarbons that can be present in diesel exhausts) on the NH3-SCR of NO and adsorption of NH3. We synthesized the catalysts by ion exchange and confirmed their structure by X-ray diffraction. We found that both propylene and dodecane reduced the amount NH3 adsorbed on the catalysts. Also, we determined that experiments of temperature-programmed desorption of NH3 of Cu-ZSM-5 and Cu-SAPO-34 saturated with propylene changed the parameters of the desorption kinetic of the catalysts, and mainly affected the acid sites that not concern copper. We confirmed that dodecane (a long-chain hydrocarbon) affected the performance of Cu-SSZ-13 (a small-pore zeolite) on the NH3-SCR and NH3oxidation. Finally, we found that the hydrocarbons decreased the activation energy and changed the parameters of a power-law kinetic of Cu-ZSM-5 and Cu-SSZ-13 in the NH3-SCR of NO.RESUMEN: El uso de motores diésel está creciendo debido a sus ventajas sobre los motores a gasolina, pero aumentan las emisiones de óxidos de nitrógeno (NOX). La reducción catalítica selectiva con amoniaco (NH3-RCS) utilizando zeolitas basadas en cobre es la técnica más prometedora y estudiada para la reducción de NOX. Sin embargo, su investigación bajo condiciones más reales, como la inclusión de hidrocarburos en el gas simulado, necesitan ser estudiadas profundamente. Se seleccionaron Cu-ZSM-5, Cu-SSZ-13 y Cu-SAPO-34 (tres de los catalizadores más exitosos e investigados en la NH3-RCS deNOX) para desarrollar una serie de experimentos concernientes al efecto del propileno y el dodecano (dos hidrocarburos que pueden estar presentes en exhostos de motores diésel) en procesos relacionados con la NH3-RCS de NOX. Los catalizadores se sintetizaron por intercambio iónico y su estructura fue corroborada por difracción de rayos X. Se encontró que tanto el propileno como el dodecano redujeron la cantidad de amoniaco desorbida en los catalizadores, la cual es una etapa muy importante para que la reacción de NH3-RCS ocurra. Además, se determinó que experimentos de desorción a temperatura programada de amoniaco de Cu-ZSM-5 y Cu-SAPO-34 saturados con propileno cambia los parámetros de la cinética de desorción de ambos catalizadores y principalmente afecta los sitios ácidos no relacionados con cobre. Se encontró que el dodecano (un hidrocarburo de cadena larga) afecta el desempeño la Cu-SSZ-13 (una zeolita de poro pequeño) en la NH3-RCS de NO y en la oxidación de NH3. Finalmente, se encontró que los hidrocarburos disminuyeron la energía de activación y cambiaron los parámetros de una cinética de ley de potencias de la Cu-ZSM-5 y la Cu-SSZ-13 en la reacción de NH3-RCS de NO

    A preocupação energética e pelas emissões de gases do efeito estufa faz com que o estudo das células solares tenha um interesse crescente. Um dos tipos de célula solar que tem tido maior destaque é o de células sensibilizadas por corante e que usam filmes finos de dióxido de titânio (TiO₂) como camada ativa. Estas células ainda são objeto de intensas pesquisas que com o foco na melhoria de sua eficiência. Neste trabalho, sintetizou-se dióxido de titânio pelo método sol-gel tradicional e de micelas reversas em forma de pó e em filmes com deposição de 1, 3 e 5 camadas depositadas por rotação e tratadas em atmosfera de hidrogênio/nitrogênio a 700 ⁰C por duas horas. A caracterização estrutural foi feita por difratometria de raios-X. Estudou-se a morfologia dos filmes por microscopia de força atômica e se caracterizaram eletricamente a baixas e altas temperaturas. Encontrou-se que o pó sintetizado pelo método tradicional apresentou tanto a estrutura da anatase quanto a do rutilo, porquanto, o método de micelas reversas apresentou em uma combinação com maior proporção da estrutura anatase, conforme dados obtidos por difração de raios X. Os tamanhos médios de cristalito foram determinados entre 19 nm e 45 nm. A microscopia de força atômica dos filmes revelou que a superfície deles é mais lisa para o maior número de camadas. As medidas ópticas revelaram que a transmissão das amostras diminui depois de tratá-las em atmosfera de hidrogênio. Os espectros de absorção no infravermelho dos pós sintetizados mostraram bandas características de anatase e apresentaram diminuição na transmitância e de picos característicos da água depois do tratamento com hidrogênio. A caracterização elétrica a baixas temperaturas determinou que a condução nos filmes produzidos se dá por saltos (hopping) em temperaturas entre 107 K e 300 K com o parâmetro de hopping (T₀ ⅟⁴) entre 45,0 K⅟⁴ e 57,1 K⅟⁴ , diminuindo com o maior número de camadas. A distância de saltos foi determinada entre 35 Å e 42 Å. Para medidas elétricas realizadas a altas temperaturas, obteve-se que o TiO₂ apresenta condução por bandas por meio de barreiras de potencial localizada nos contornos de grão o que foi verificado pela condição do modelo teórico de que o comprimento de blindagem de Debye seja menor que a metade do tamanho médio de cristalito

    We present the first study of charged-hadron production associated with jets originating from b quarks in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV. The data sample used in this study was collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 27.4 pb(-1). To characterize the jet substructure, the differential jet shapes, defined as the normalized transverse momentum distribution of charged hadrons as a function of angular distance from the jet axis, are measured for b jets. In addition to the jet shapes, the per-jet yields of charged particles associated with b jets are also quantified, again as a function of the angular distance with respect to the jet axis. Extracted jet shape and particle yield distributions for b jets are compared with results for inclusive jets, as well as with the predictions from the pythia and herwig++ event generators.Peer reviewe

    MUSiC : a model-unspecific search for new physics in proton-proton collisions at root s=13TeV

    Get PDF
    Results of the Model Unspecific Search in CMS (MUSiC), using proton-proton collision data recorded at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb(-1), are presented. The MUSiC analysis searches for anomalies that could be signatures of physics beyond the standard model. The analysis is based on the comparison of observed data with the standard model prediction, as determined from simulation, in several hundred final states and multiple kinematic distributions. Events containing at least one electron or muon are classified based on their final state topology, and an automated search algorithm surveys the observed data for deviations from the prediction. The sensitivity of the search is validated using multiple methods. No significant deviations from the predictions have been observed. For a wide range of final state topologies, agreement is found between the data and the standard model simulation. This analysis complements dedicated search analyses by significantly expanding the range of final states covered using a model independent approach with the largest data set to date to probe phase space regions beyond the reach of previous general searches.Peer reviewe

    Search for new particles in events with energetic jets and large missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV

    Get PDF
    A search is presented for new particles produced at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at root s = 13 TeV, using events with energetic jets and large missing transverse momentum. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 101 fb(-1), collected in 2017-2018 with the CMS detector. Machine learning techniques are used to define separate categories for events with narrow jets from initial-state radiation and events with large-radius jets consistent with a hadronic decay of a W or Z boson. A statistical combination is made with an earlier search based on a data sample of 36 fb(-1), collected in 2016. No significant excess of events is observed with respect to the standard model background expectation determined from control samples in data. The results are interpreted in terms of limits on the branching fraction of an invisible decay of the Higgs boson, as well as constraints on simplified models of dark matter, on first-generation scalar leptoquarks decaying to quarks and neutrinos, and on models with large extra dimensions. Several of the new limits, specifically for spin-1 dark matter mediators, pseudoscalar mediators, colored mediators, and leptoquarks, are the most restrictive to date.Peer reviewe

    Get PDF
    The production cross sections for prompt open-charm mesons in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13TeV are reported. The measurement is performed using a data sample collected by the CMS experiment corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 29 nb(-1). The differential production cross sections of the D*(+/-), D-+/-, and D-0 ((D) over bar (0)) mesons are presented in ranges of transverse momentum and pseudorapidity 4 < p(T) < 100 GeV and vertical bar eta vertical bar < 2.1, respectively. The results are compared to several theoretical calculations and to previous measurements.Peer reviewe

    Measurement of the azimuthal anisotropy of Y(1S) and Y(2S) mesons in PbPb collisions at root s(NN)=5.02 TeV

    Get PDF
    The second-order Fourier coefficients (v(2)) characterizing the azimuthal distributions of Y(1S) and Y(2S) mesons produced in PbPb collisions at root s(NN) = 5.02 TeV are studied. The Y mesons are reconstructed in their dimuon decay channel, as measured by the CMS detector. The collected data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 1.7 nb(-1). The scalar product method is used to extract the v2 coefficients of the azimuthal distributions. Results are reported for the rapidity range vertical bar y vertical bar < 2.4, in the transverse momentum interval 0 < pT < 50 GeV/c, and in three centrality ranges of 10-30%, 30-50% and 50-90%. In contrast to the J/psi mesons, the measured v(2) values for the Y mesons are found to be consistent with zero. (C) 2021 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.Peer reviewe

    Combined searches for the production of supersymmetric top quark partners in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV

    Get PDF
    A combination of searches for top squark pair production using proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV at the CERN LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb(-1) collected by the CMS experiment, is presented. Signatures with at least 2 jets and large missing transverse momentum are categorized into events with 0, 1, or 2 leptons. New results for regions of parameter space where the kinematical properties of top squark pair production and top quark pair production are very similar are presented. Depending on themodel, the combined result excludes a top squarkmass up to 1325 GeV for amassless neutralino, and a neutralinomass up to 700 GeV for a top squarkmass of 1150 GeV. Top squarks with masses from 145 to 295 GeV, for neutralino masses from 0 to 100 GeV, with a mass difference between the top squark and the neutralino in a window of 30 GeV around the mass of the top quark, are excluded for the first time with CMS data. The results of theses searches are also interpreted in an alternative signal model of dark matter production via a spin-0 mediator in association with a top quark pair. Upper limits are set on the cross section for mediator particle masses of up to 420 GeV

    Measurement of the top quark forward-backward production asymmetry and the anomalous chromoelectric and chromomagnetic moments in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV

    Abstract The parton-level top quark (t) forward-backward asymmetry and the anomalous chromoelectric (d̂ t) and chromomagnetic (μ̂ t) moments have been measured using LHC pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected in the CMS detector in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. The linearized variable AFB(1) is used to approximate the asymmetry. Candidate t t ¯ events decaying to a muon or electron and jets in final states with low and high Lorentz boosts are selected and reconstructed using a fit of the kinematic distributions of the decay products to those expected for t t ¯ final states. The values found for the parameters are AFB(1)=0.048−0.087+0.095(stat)−0.029+0.020(syst),μ̂t=−0.024−0.009+0.013(stat)−0.011+0.016(syst), and a limit is placed on the magnitude of | d̂ t| &lt; 0.03 at 95% confidence level.
