    Objective: To identify the issues occurred with nursing workers through a Health Monitoring System for Nursing Workers (SIMOSTE) and to describe the consequences of those problems. Method: This is a quantitative, exploratory and descriptive study realized in a teaching hospital in the west region of the city of SĂŁo Paulo. Results: From the SIMOSTE, 1.847 occurrences were registered in a six month period. Within the main occurrences, medical licenses, work related accidents with and without removals; psychiatric consultations and psychotherapy were highlighted. Conclusion: The data points out to the need for the development of new health vigilance actions to notify accidents and illness related to work, besides the prevention of issues

    Amplitude analysis of the Λb0→pK−γ decay

    Get PDF
    The resonant structure of the radiative decay Λb0→pK−γ in the region of proton-kaon invariant-mass up to 2.5 GeV/c2 is studied using proton-proton collision data recorded at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV collected with the LHCb detector, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1. Results are given in terms of fit and interference fractions between the different components contributing to this final state. Only Λ resonances decaying to pK− are found to be relevant, where the largest contributions stem from the Λ(1520), Λ(1600), Λ(1800), and Λ(1890) states

    Studies of η\eta and ηâ€Č\eta' production in pppp and ppPb collisions

    The production of η\eta and ηâ€Č\eta' mesons is studied in proton-proton and proton-lead collisions collected with the LHCb detector. Proton-proton collisions are studied at center-of-mass energies of 5.025.02 and 13 TeV13~{\rm TeV}, and proton-lead collisions are studied at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon of 8.16 TeV8.16~{\rm TeV}. The studies are performed in center-of-mass rapidity regions 2.5<yc.m.<3.52.5<y_{\rm c.m.}<3.5 (forward rapidity) and −4.0<yc.m.<−3.0-4.0<y_{\rm c.m.}<-3.0 (backward rapidity) defined relative to the proton beam direction. The η\eta and ηâ€Č\eta' production cross sections are measured differentially as a function of transverse momentum for 1.5<pT<10 GeV1.5<p_{\rm T}<10~{\rm GeV} and 3<pT<10 GeV3<p_{\rm T}<10~{\rm GeV}, respectively. The differential cross sections are used to calculate nuclear modification factors. The nuclear modification factors for η\eta and ηâ€Č\eta' mesons agree at both forward and backward rapidity, showing no significant evidence of mass dependence. The differential cross sections of η\eta mesons are also used to calculate η/π0\eta/\pi^0 cross section ratios, which show evidence of a deviation from the world average. These studies offer new constraints on mass-dependent nuclear effects in heavy-ion collisions, as well as η\eta and ηâ€Č\eta' meson fragmentation.Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lhcbproject.web.cern.ch/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2023-030.html (LHCb public pages

    Fraction of χc\chi_c decays in prompt J/ψJ/\psi production measured in pPb collisions at sNN=8.16\sqrt{s_{NN}}=8.16 TeV

    The fraction of χc1\chi_{c1} and χc2\chi_{c2} decays in the prompt J/ψJ/\psi yield, Fχc=σχc→J/ψ/σJ/ψF_{\chi c}=\sigma_{\chi_c \to J/\psi}/\sigma_{J/\psi}, is measured by the LHCb detector in pPb collisions at sNN=8.16\sqrt{s_{NN}}=8.16 TeV. The study covers the forward (1.5<y∗<4.01.5<y^*<4.0) and backward (−5.0<y∗<−2.5-5.0<y^*<-2.5) rapidity regions, where y∗y^* is the J/ψJ/\psi rapidity in the nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass system. Forward and backward rapidity samples correspond to integrated luminosities of 13.6 ±\pm 0.3 nb−1^{-1} and 20.8 ±\pm 0.5 nb−1^{-1}, respectively. The result is presented as a function of the J/ψJ/\psi transverse momentum pT,J/ψp_{T,J/\psi} in the range 1<pT,J/ψ<20<p_{T, J/\psi}<20 GeV/cc. The FχcF_{\chi c} fraction at forward rapidity is compatible with the LHCb measurement performed in pppp collisions at s=7\sqrt{s}=7 TeV, whereas the result at backward rapidity is 2.4 σ\sigma larger than in the forward region for 1<pT,J/ψ<31<p_{T, J/\psi}<3 GeV/cc. The increase of FχcF_{\chi c} at low pT,J/ψp_{T, J/\psi} at backward rapidity is compatible with the suppression of the ψ\psi(2S) contribution to the prompt J/ψJ/\psi yield. The lack of in-medium dissociation of χc\chi_c states observed in this study sets an upper limit of 180 MeV on the free energy available in these pPb collisions to dissociate or inhibit charmonium state formation.Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2023-028.html (LHCb public pages

    Enhanced production of Λb0\Lambda_{b}^{0} baryons in high-multiplicity pppp collisions at s=13\sqrt{s} = 13 TeV

    Get PDF
    The production rate of Λb0\Lambda_{b}^{0} baryons relative to B0B^{0} mesons in pppp collisions at a center-of-mass energy s=13\sqrt{s} = 13 TeV is measured by the LHCb experiment. The ratio of Λb0\Lambda_{b}^{0} to B0B^{0} production cross-sections shows a significant dependence on both the transverse momentum and the measured charged-particle multiplicity. At low multiplicity, the ratio measured at LHCb is consistent with the value measured in e+e−e^{+}e^{-} collisions, and increases by a factor of ∌2\sim2 with increasing multiplicity. At relatively low transverse momentum, the ratio of Λb0\Lambda_{b}^{0} to B0B^{0} cross-sections is higher than what is measured in e+e−e^{+}e^{-} collisions, but converges with the e+e−e^{+}e^{-} ratio as the momentum increases. These results imply that the evolution of heavy bb quarks into final-state hadrons is influenced by the density of the hadronic environment produced in the collision. Comparisons with a statistical hadronization model and implications for the mechanisms enforcing quark confinement are discussed.Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2023-027.html (LHCb public pages

    Measurement of antiproton production from antihyperon decays in pHe collisions at √sNN=110GeV

    Get PDF
    The interpretation of cosmic antiproton flux measurements from space-borne experiments is currently limited by the knowledge of the antiproton production cross-section in collisions between primary cosmic rays and the interstellar medium. Using collisions of protons with an energy of 6.5 TeV incident on helium nuclei at rest in the proximity of the interaction region of the LHCb experiment, the ratio of antiprotons originating from antihyperon decays to prompt production is measured for antiproton momenta between 12 and 110GeV\!/c . The dominant antihyperon contribution, namely Λ¯ → pÂŻ π+ decays from promptly produced Λ¯ particles, is also exclusively measured. The results complement the measurement of prompt antiproton production obtained from the same data sample. At the energy scale of this measurement, the antihyperon contributions to antiproton production are observed to be significantly larger than predictions of commonly used hadronic production models

    Search for CP\textit{CP} violation in the phase space of D0→KS0K±π∓D^{0} \rightarrow K_{S}^{0} K^{\pm} \pi^{\mp} decays with the energy test

    A search for CP\textit{CP} violation in D0→KS0K+π−D^{0} \rightarrow K_{S}^{0} K^{+} \pi^{-} and D0→KS0K−π+D^{0} \rightarrow K_{S}^{0} K^{-} \pi^{+} decays is reported. The search is performed using an unbinned model-independent method known as the energy test that probes local CP\textit{CP} violation in the phase space of the decays. The data analysed correspond to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 5.4~fb−1^{-1} collected in proton-proton collisions by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of s=13\sqrt{s}=13~TeV, amounting to approximately 950000 and 620000 signal candidates for the D0→KS0K−π+D^{0} \rightarrow K_{S}^{0} K^{-} \pi^{+} and D0→KS0K+π−D^{0} \rightarrow K_{S}^{0} K^{+} \pi^{-} modes, respectively. The method is validated using D0→K−π+π−π+D^{0} \rightarrow K^{-} \pi^{+} \pi^{-} \pi^{+} and D0→KS0π+π−D^{0} \rightarrow K_{S}^{0} \pi^{+} \pi^{-} decays, where CP\textit{CP}-violating effects are expected to be negligible, and using background-enhanced regions of the signal decays. The results are consistent with CP\textit{CP} symmetry in both the D0→KS0K−π+D^{0} \rightarrow K_{S}^{0} K^{-} \pi^{+} and the D0→KS0K+π−D^{0} \rightarrow K_{S}^{0} K^{+} \pi^{-} decays, with pp-values for the hypothesis of no CP\textit{CP} violation of 70% and 66%, respectively.Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2023-019.html (LHCb public pages
