Queue-length synchronization in a communication networks
We study synchronization in the context of network traffic on a
communication network with local clustering and geographic separations. The
network consists of nodes and randomly distributed hubs where the top five hubs
ranked according to their coefficient of betweenness centrality (CBC) are
connected by random assortative and gradient mechanisms. For multiple message
traffic, messages can trap at the high CBC hubs, and congestion can build up on
the network with long queues at the congested hubs. The queue lengths are seen
to synchronize in the congested phase. Both complete and phase synchronization
is seen, between pairs of hubs. In the decongested phase, the pairs start
clearing, and synchronization is lost. A cascading master-slave relation is
seen between the hubs, with the slower hubs (which are slow to decongest)
driving the faster ones. These are usually the hubs of high CBC. Similar
results are seen for traffic of constant density. Total synchronization between
the hubs of high CBC is also seen in the congested regime. Similar behavior is
seen for traffic on a network constructed using the Waxman random topology
generator. We also demonstrate the existence of phase synchronization in real
Internet traffic data.Comment: 13 Pages, 15 figure
A partial synchronization theorem
When synchronization sets in, coupled systems oscillate in a coherent way. It is possible to observealso some intermediate regimes characterized by incomplete synchrony which are referred to aspartial synchronization. The paper focuses on analysis of partial synchronization in networks oflinearly coupled oscillators

Studies of Bs2∗(5840)0 and Bs1(5830)0 mesons including the observation of the Bs2∗(5840)0→B0KS0 decay in proton-proton collisions at s=8TeV.
Measurements of Bs2∗(5840)0 and Bs1(5830)0 mesons are performed using a data sample of proton-proton collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of , collected with the CMS detector at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 8TeV . The analysis studies P-wave Bs0 meson decays into B(∗)+K- and B(∗)0KS0 , where the B+ and B0 mesons are identified using the decays B+→J/ψK+ and B0→J/ψK∗(892)0 . The masses of the P-wave Bs0 meson states are measured and the natural width of the Bs2∗(5840)0 state is determined. The first measurement of the mass difference between the charged and neutral B∗ mesons is also presented. The Bs2∗(5840)0 decay to B0KS0 is observed, together with a measurement of its branching fraction relative to the Bs2∗(5840)0→B+K- decay
