Higgs Boson Studies at the Tevatron
We combine searches by the CDF and D0 Collaborations for the standard model Higgs boson with mass in the range 90--200 GeV produced in the gluon-gluon fusion, , , , and vector boson fusion processes, and decaying in the , , , , and modes. The data correspond to integrated luminosities of up to 10 fb and were collected at the Fermilab Tevatron in collisions at TeV. The searches are also interpreted in the context of fermiophobic and fourth generation models. We observe a significant excess of events in the mass range between 115 and 140 GeV/. The local significance corresponds to 3.0 standard deviations at GeV/, consistent with the mass of the Higgs boson observed at the LHC, and we expect a local significance of 1.9 standard deviations. We separately combine searches for , , , and . The observed signal strengths in all channels are consistent with the presence of a standard model Higgs boson with a mass of 125 GeV/
Functional supramolecular systems: Design and applications
The interest in functional supramolecular systems for the design of innovative materials and technologies, able to fundamentally change the world, is growing at a high pace. The huge array of publications that appeared in recent years in the global literature calls for systematization of the structural trends inherent in the formation of these systems revealed at different molecular platforms and practically useful properties they exhibit. The attention is concentrated on the topics related to functional supramolecular systems that are actively explored in institutes and universities of Russia in the last 10-15 years, such as the chemistry of host-guest complexes, crystal engineering, self-assembly and self-organization in solutions and at interfaces, biomimetics and molecular machines and devices
GLONASS
The Global’naya Navigatsionnaya Sputnikova Sistema
(GLONASS) is a global navigation satellite
system developed by the Russian Federation.
Similar to its US counterpart, the NAVSTAR global
positioning system (GPS), GLONASS provides dualfrequency
L-band navigation signals for civil and
military navigation. Initiated in the 1980s, the
system first achieved its full operational capability
in 1995. Following a temporary degradation,
the nominal constellation of 24 satellites was ultimately
reestablished in 2011 and the system has
been in continued service since then. This chapter
describes the architecture and operations of
GLONASS and discusses its current performance. In
addition, the planned evolution of the space and
ground segment are outlined
Evidence for a Particle Produced in Association with Weak Bosons and Decaying to a Bottom-Antibottom Quark Pair in Higgs Boson Searches at the Tevatron
We combine searches by the CDF and D0 Collaborations for the associated production of a Higgs boson with a W or Z boson and subsequent decay of the Higgs boson to a bottom-antibottom quark pair. The data, originating from Fermilab Tevatron p[bar over p] collisions at √s=1.96 TeV, correspond to integrated luminosities of up to 9.7 fb[superscript -1]. The searches are conducted for a Higgs boson with mass in the range 100–150 GeV/c[superscript 2]. We observe an excess of events in the data compared with the background predictions, which is most significant in the mass range between 120 and 135 GeV/c[superscript 2]. The largest local significance is 3.3 standard deviations, corresponding to a global significance of 3.1 standard deviations. We interpret this as evidence for the presence of a new particle consistent with the standard model Higgs boson, which is produced in association with a weak vector boson and decays to a bottom-antibottom quark pair
