Formation of a White-Light Jet within a Quadrupolar Magnetic Configuration
We analyze multi-wavelength and multi-viewpoint observations of a large-scale
event viewed on 7 April 2011 originating from an active region complex. The
activity leads to a white-light jet being formed in the outer corona. The
topology and evolution of the coronal structures were imaged in high resolution
using the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) onboard the Solar Dynamics
Observatory (SDO). In addition, large field-of-view images of the corona were
obtained using the Sun Watcher using Active Pixel System detector and Image
Processing (SWAP) telescope onboard the PRoject for Onboard Autonomy (PROBA2)
microsatellite, providing evidence for the connectivity of the coronal
structures with outer coronal features that were imaged with the Large Angle
Spectrometric Coronagraph (LASCO) C2 on Solar and Heliospheric Observatory
(SOHO). The data-sets reveal an Eiffel-tower type jet configuration extending
into a narrow jet in the outer corona. The event starts from the growth of a
dark area in the central part of the structure. The darkening was also observed
in projection on the disk by the Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory-Ahead
(STEREO-A) spacecraft from a different point of view. We assume that the dark
volume in the corona descends from a coronal cavity of a flux rope that moved
up higher in the corona but still failed to erupt. The quadrupolar magnetic
configuration corresponds to a saddle-like shape of the dark volume and
provides a possibility for the plasma to escape along the open field lines into
the outer corona, forming the white-light jet.Comment: 15 pages, 10 figure
Coronal Shock Waves, EUV waves, and Their Relation to CMEs. I. Reconciliation of "EIT waves", Type II Radio Bursts, and Leading Edges of CMEs
We show examples of excitation of coronal waves by flare-related abrupt
eruptions of magnetic rope structures. The waves presumably rapidly steepened
into shocks and freely propagated afterwards like decelerating blast waves that
showed up as Moreton waves and EUV waves. We propose a simple quantitative
description for such shock waves to reconcile their observed propagation with
drift rates of metric type II bursts and kinematics of leading edges of coronal
mass ejections (CMEs). Taking account of different plasma density falloffs for
propagation of a wave up and along the solar surface, we demonstrate a close
correspondence between drift rates of type II bursts and speeds of EUV waves,
Moreton waves, and CMEs observed in a few known events.Comment: 30 pages, 15 figures. Solar Physics, published online. The final

Synthesis of C-Glycosyl Amino Acid Building Blocks Suitable for the Solid-Phase Synthesis of Multivalent Glycopeptide Mimics
Five C-glycosyl functionalized lysine building blocks, featuring C-glycosidic derivatives of alpha-rhamnose, alpha-mannose, alpha-galactose, beta-galactose, and beta-N-acetyl glucosamine have been designed and synthesized. These derivatives, equipped with acid-labile protecting groups, are eminently suitable for solid-phase synthesis of multivalent glycopeptides. The lysine building blocks were prepared fromC-allyl glycosides that underwent a Grubbs cross-metathesis with an acrylate, followed by a reduction of the C=C double bond in the resulting alpha,beta-unsaturated esters, and liberation of the carboxylate to allow condensation with a lysine side chain. The thus obtainedC-glycosides, five in total, were applied in the solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) of three glycopeptides, showing the potential of the described building blocks in the assembly of well-defined mimics of homo- and heteromultivalent glycopeptides and glycoclusters.Bio-organic Synthesi
Characteristics of EUV coronal jets observed with STEREO/SECCHI
In this paper we present the first comprehensive statistical study of EUV
coronal jets observed with the SECCHI imaging suites of the two STEREO
spacecraft. A catalogue of 79 polar jets is presented, identified from
simultaneous EUV and white-light coronagraph observations, taken during the
time period March 2007 to April 2008. The appearances of the coronal jets were
always correlated with underlying small-scale chromospheric bright points. A
basic characterisation of the morphology and identification of the presence of
helical structure were established with respect to recently proposed models for
their origin and temporal evolution. A classification of the events with
respect to previous jet studies shows that amongst the 79 events there were 37
Eiffel tower-type jet events commonly interpreted as a small-scale (about 35
arcsec) magnetic bipole reconnecting with the ambient unipolar open coronal
magnetic fields at its looptops, and 12 lambda-type jet events commonly
interpreted as reconnection with the ambient field happening at the bipoles
footpoints. Five events were termed micro-CME type jet events because they
resembled the classical coronal mass ejections (CMEs) but on much smaller
scales. A few jets are also found in equatorial coronal holes. The typical
lifetimes in the SECCHI/EUVI (Extreme UltraViolet Imager) field of view between
1.0 to 1.7 solar radius and in SECCHI/COR1 field of view between 1.4 to 4 solar
radius are obtained, and the derived speed are roughly estimated. In summary,
the observations support the assumption of continuous small-scale reconnection
as an intrinsic feature of the solar corona, with its role for the heating of
the corona, particle acceleration, structuring and acceleration of the solar
wind remaining to be explored in more details in further studies.Comment: 20 pages, 7 tables of figures, 2 tables of plots, an appendix with

The Origin, Early Evolution and Predictability of Solar Eruptions
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) were discovered in the early 1970s when space-borne coronagraphs revealed that eruptions of plasma are ejected from the Sun. Today, it is known that the Sun produces eruptive flares, filament eruptions, coronal mass ejections and failed eruptions; all thought to be due to a release of energy stored in the coronal magnetic field during its drastic reconfiguration. This review discusses the observations and physical mechanisms behind this eruptive activity, with a view to making an assessment of the current capability of forecasting these events for space weather risk and impact mitigation. Whilst a wealth of observations exist, and detailed models have been developed, there still exists a need to draw these approaches together. In particular more realistic models are encouraged in order to asses the full range of complexity of the solar atmosphere and the criteria for which an eruption is formed. From the observational side, a more detailed understanding of the role of photospheric flows and reconnection is needed in order to identify the evolutionary path that ultimately means a magnetic structure will erupt
Measurement of CP observables in B± â D(â)K± and B± â D(â)ϱ decays
Measurements of CP observables in B ± âD (â) K ± and B ± âD (â) Ï Â± decays are presented, where D (â) indicates a neutral D or D â meson that is an admixture of D (â)0 and DÂŻ (â)0 states. Decays of the D â meson to the DÏ 0 and DÎł final states are partially reconstructed without inclusion of the neutral pion or photon, resulting in distinctive shapes in the B candidate invariant mass distribution. Decays of the D meson are fully reconstructed in the K ± Ï â , K + K â and Ï + Ï â final states. The analysis uses a sample of charged B mesons produced in pp collisions collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.0, 1.0 and 2.0 fb â1 taken at centre-of-mass energies of s=7, 8 and 13 TeV, respectively. The study of B ± âD â K ± and B ± âD â Ï Â± decays using a partial reconstruction method is the first of its kind, while the measurement of B ± âDK ± and B ± âDÏ Â± decays is an update of previous LHCb measurements. The B ± âDK ± results are the most precise to date
Measurement of the muon flux from 400 GeV/c protons interacting in a thick molybdenum/tungsten target
The SHiP experiment is proposed to search for very weakly interacting particles beyond the Standard Model which are produced in a 400 GeV/c proton beam dump at the CERN SPS. About 1011 muons per spill will be produced in the dump. To design the experiment such that the muon-induced background is minimized, a precise knowledge of the muon spectrum is required. To validate the muon flux generated by our Pythia and GEANT4 based Monte Carlo simulation (FairShip), we have measured the muon flux emanating from a SHiP-like target at the SPS. This target, consisting of 13 interaction lengths of slabs of molybdenum and tungsten, followed by a 2.4 m iron hadron absorber was placed in the H4 400 GeV/c proton beam line. To identify muons and to measure the momentum spectrum, a spectrometer instrumented with drift tubes and a muon tagger were used. During a 3-week period a dataset for analysis corresponding to (3.27±0.07) à 1011 protons on target was recorded. This amounts to approximatively 1% of a SHiP spill
Track reconstruction and matching between emulsion and silicon pixel detectors for the SHiP-charm experiment
In July 2018 an optimization run for the proposed charm cross section measurement for SHiP was performed at the CERN SPS. A heavy, moving target instrumented with nuclear emulsion films followed by a silicon pixel tracker was installed in front of the Goliath magnet at the H4 proton beam-line. Behind the magnet, scintillating-fibre, drift-tube and RPC detectors were placed. The purpose of this run was to validate the measurement's feasibility, to develop the required analysis tools and fine-tune the detector layout. In this paper, we present the track reconstruction in the pixel tracker and the track matching with the moving emulsion detector. The pixel detector performed as expected and it is shown that, after proper alignment, a vertex matching rate of 87% is achieved
