Synthesis of 2-azidoethyl α-d-mannopyranoside orthogonally protected and selective deprotections

4 páginas, 1 figura, 2 esquemas.We present the synthesis of a fully orthogonally protected mannosyl glycoside 1 and the corresponding methods for selective deprotections. Mannosyl glycoside 1 contains a functionalized linker at the anomeric position to allow for the attachment of carbohydrate units to scaffolds in order to prepare carbohydrate multivalent systems.We would like to thank FIS (PI030093), for financial supportPeer reviewe

PHENIX on-line systems

The PHENIX On-Line system takes signals from the Front End Modules (FEM) on each detector subsystem for the purpose of generating events for physics analysis. Processing of event data begins when the Data Collection Modules (DCM) receive data via fiber-optic links from the FEMs. The DCMs format and zero suppress the data and generate data packets. These packets go to the Event Builders (EvB) that assemble the events in final form. The Level-1 trigger (LVL1) generates a decision for each beam crossing and eliminates uninteresting events. The FEMs carry out all detector processing of the data so that it is delivered to the DCMs using a standard format. The FEMs also provide buffering for LVL1 trigger processing and DCM data collection. This is carried out using an architecture that is pipelined and deadtimeless. All of this is controlled by the Master Timing System (MTS) that distributes the RHIC clocks. A Level-2 trigger (LVL2) gives additional discrimination. A description of the components and operation of the PHENIX On-Line system is given and the solution to a number of electronic infrastructure problems are discussed. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

Determination of the number of light neutrino species

The cross-section for e+e− → hadrons in the vicinity of the Z boson peak has been measured with the ALEPH detector at the CERN Large Electron Positron collider, LEP. Measurements of the Z mass, Mz = (91.174±0.070) GeV, the Z width Γz=(2.68±0.15) GeV, and of the peak hadronic cross-section, σhadpeak=(29.3±1.2) nb, are presented. With the constraints of the standard electroweak model, the number of light neutrino species is found to be Nv=3.27±0.30. this results rules out of the possibility of a fourth type of light neutrino at 98% CL

Measurement of the branching ratios b -&gt; e nu Chi, mu nu Chi, tau nu Chi, and nu Chi

The inclusive semileptonic branching ratios b --&gt; e nu X, mu nu X, tau nu X and nu X have been measured at LEP with the L3 detector. The analysis is based on 2-jet hadronic Z decays obtained in the data collected between 1991 and 1992. Three separate event samples are analysed, containing electrons, muons and large missing energy (neutrinos), respectively. From the electron sample, we measure Br(b --&gt; e nu X) = (10.89+/-0.20+/-0.51)% and, from the muon sample, Br(b --&gt; mu nu X) = (10.82+/-0.15+/-0.59)%, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. From the missing energy sample, we measure Br(b --&gt; nu X) = (23.08+/-0.77+/-1.24)%, assuming the relative semileptonic decay rates e:mu:tau = 1:1:(0.25+/-0.05), according to theoretical expectations. From a combined analysis of all three samples and constraining the relative semileptonic rates, we measure Br(b --&gt; e nu X) = Br(b --&gt; mu nu X) = (10.68+/-0.11+/-0.46)%. Alternatively, we can remove the constraint on the relative semileptonic rates and measure Br(b --&gt; tau nu X) = (1.7+/-0.5+/-1.1)%
