Measurement of (anti)deuteron and (anti)proton production in DIS at HERA

The first observation of (anti)deuterons in deep inelastic scattering at HERA has been made with the ZEUS detector at a centre-of-mass energy of 300--318 GeV using an integrated luminosity of 120 pb-1. The measurement was performed in the central rapidity region for transverse momentum per unit of mass in the range 0.3<p_T/M<0.7. The particle rates have been extracted and interpreted in terms of the coalescence model. The (anti)deuteron production yield is smaller than the (anti)proton yield by approximately three orders of magnitude, consistent with the world measurements.Comment: 26 pages, 9 figures, 5 tables, submitted to Nucl.

Combined Geoelectrical and Statistical Approach in Subsurface Structural Mapping for Groundwater Prospect at Oke-Odo, Iwo, Southwestern Nigeria

This research is aimed at mapping the subsurface structures such as fracture, weathered basement and fresh basement for groundwater investigation at Oke-Odo, Iwo, Osun State, Nigeria using combined geoelectric and statistical approach. Six (6) vertical electrical resistivity sounding data are collected based on schlumberger electrode arrangement configuration and maximum current electrode spacing of AB/2 along 100 m within the study area. The vertical electrical sounding (VES) results presented as resist graph revealed the range of values for all the VES stations respectively. The depth ranges from (0.9 – 37.5 m), thickness ranges from (0.9 – 35.1 m) and resistivity ranges from (27.3 – 3353.4 ohms). These results were later used to generate 2-D geoelectrical maps of the subsurface study area, which revealed that the fractured-weathered basement varied, leading to diversity in groundwater prospects. A descriptive statistic was computed for resistivity, thickness and depths values respectively from the resist graph. The normality of the data was examined using the Shapiro-Wilk’s test while test of homogeneity of variance was carried out using the Levene’s test. Resistivity between layers were compared using the ANOVA followed by Duncan’s test for Post Hoc comparison while thickness and depth between layers were compared using the independent t-test. The modeled geoelectric and statistical approach on the groundwater potential revealed that groundwater yield was recorded in areas with large concentrations of fracture and weathering with the bedrock
