Search for f1(1285)→π+π−π0f_1(1285) \to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0 decay with VES detector

The isospin violating decay $f_1(1285)\to\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ has been studied at VES facility. This study is based at the statistics acquired in $\pi^- Be$ interactions at 27, 36.6 and 41 GeV/c in diffractive reaction $\pi^- N \to (f_1 \pi^-) N$. The $f_1(1285) \to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ decay is observed. The ratio of decay probabilities $BR(f_1(1285) \to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0)$ to $BR(f_1(1285) \to \eta \pi^+\pi^-) \cdot BR(\eta \to \gamma\gamma)$ is $\sim\:1.4$.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figures, presented at XII Conference on Hadron Spectroscop

A search for J^{PC}=1^{-+} exotic mesons in the pi- pi- pi+ and pi- pi0 pi0 systems

A partial wave analysis (PWA) of the pi-pi-pi+ and pi-pi0pi0 systems produced in the reaction pi- p -> (3pi)-p at 18 GeV/c was carried out using an isobar model assumption. This analysis is based on 3.0M pi-pi0pi0 events and 2.6M pi-pi-pi+ events and shows production of the a2(1320), pi2(1670) and \pi(1800) mesons. An earlier analysis of 250K pi-pi-pi+ events from the same experiment showed possible evidence for a J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ exotic meson with a mass of 1.6 GeV/c^2 decaying into rho pi. In this analysis of a higher statistics sample of the (3pi)- system in two charged modes we find no evidence of an exotic meson.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, added comment about the negative reflectivity exotic wave

An observation of the f0(1710)f_0(1710) meson in the ωϕ\omega\phi system in the Pion-BeBe Interaction at Momentum of 29 GeV

The charge-exchange reaction $\pi^-p \rightarrow n\,\omega(783)\phi(1020)$, $\omega \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$, $\phi \rightarrow K^+K^-$ is studied with the upgraded VES facility (U-70, Protvino) in the interaction of a 29 GeV pion beam with a beryllium target. The distribution over the invariant mass of the system $M_{\omega\phi}$ shows a near-threshold signal. A partial wave analysis reveals that the scalar state ($J^{PC}=0^{++}$) dominates in this mass region. The observed signal can be described with a contribution of the known resonance $f_0(1710)$. Using OPE approximation for the reaction $\pi^-p \rightarrow n\, f_0(1710)$ the product of branching fractions is found to be: $Br(f_0(1710)\rightarrow \pi\pi)\cdot Br(f_0(1710)\rightarrow \omega\phi) = (4.8 \pm 1.2) \cdot 10^{-3}$

Lymphocyte subpopulations of bone marrow of breast cancer patients

We have studied bone marrow lymphocytes subpopulations in 67 patients with breast cancer and 13 patients with benign processes in the mammary gland. Morphological study of the cellular composition of the bone marrow and immunological analysis of lymphocyte subpopulations have been done. Comparative characterization of lymphocyte subpopulations in the bone marrow of patients with breast cancer and benign breast diseases was done by flow cytometry. The gate of Mature lymphocytes (CD45++) studied subpopulations of T cells (CD3), b cells (CD19), NK cells (CD56+CD3–). Among T lymphocytes (CD3+) was studied TCRγδ and TCRαβ cells, a subpopulation of CD4, CD8, CD4+, CD25+ T-regulatory cells. Within В-lymphocytes (CD19+) was studied subpopulations CD10, CD38, CD5 lymphocytes. We revealed a significant increase of CD5+, CD38+ B-cells in patients with breast cancer compared to benign tumors. Index of maturation of erythrocytes was significantly higher in BC 0.96 in comparison with benign processes 0.92. When comparing immunological data with histological structure of the tumor in the group of breast cancer patients, it was noted that the percent of CD10+ B-lymphocytes was significantly higher in infiltrative ductal cancer in comparison to infiltrative lobular carcinoma (19.3 and 8.0 % accordingly; p = 0.024)
