    The fishing industry is an important component of the economy of Ukraine at the present stage of development. The development and implementation of the innovative technologies in fish farming and fish processing require mandatory and ongoing analysis of a fish market infrastructure. The demand for food protein, which is characterized by a balanced amino acid content is provided by fish and seafood at 20–30 %. The aim of this work was to understand a current state of a fish products market in Ukraine, its pricing and consumption. Based on the specialized literature the evaluation of a current state of fish and fish products consumption in Ukraine and own studies of the price category of fish products in Ukraine in recent years were conducted. We studied fish and fish products consumption per year per capita in Ukraine over the last 20 years, assortment of fish in Ukraine, the import of fish and fishery products by species, the product prices in UAH per kg both in previous years and today. According to international medical standards the annual consumption of fish and seafood should be 20 kg per person. At the same time in Ukraine according to the State Statistics Committee on the 01.01.2019 14.5 kg of fish and seafood came out per capita. In 2018–2019 herring traditionally remained a leader of consumption in Ukraine. Ukraine also imported such species of fish: mackerel, hake, herring, salmon, pilchards, pollack, capelin, sardines, notating. In addition pangasius, shrimp, blue whiting, mussels, squid, saury, Jack mackerel, sea bass, tuna, flounder, anchovies, smelt, cod, salmon and other species of fish, caviar and seafood are imported in Ukraine. The investigated assortment of fish in Ukraine is represented both domestic and imported products. The domestic production are: carp, pike, capelin, herring, mackerel, sprat, the imported products are: flounder, perch, pangasius, salmon, butter, hake, Pollock, capelin, nototenia, herring, mackerel, cod, tuna, tilapia (sole), sea trout, whiting and so forth. It is established that the condition of a fish market in Ukraine is affected by an unstable economic and political situation in the country, low solvency of the population, corruption and the high payables of the enterprises. In Ukraine a tendency towards a decrease in the volume of fish and fish products consumption by the population of Ukraine is observed annually, which is a consequence of the decline in fish catch and fish production, depreciation of fixed assets and a lack of financial support to the fishing industry

    Full text link
    We report a search for a dark vector gauge boson UU^\prime that couples to quarks in the decay chain D+D0π+,D0KS0η,ηUγD^{*+} \to D^0 \pi^+, D^0 \to K^0_S \eta, \eta \to U^\prime \gamma, Uπ+πU^\prime \to \pi^+ \pi^-. No signal is found and we set a mass-dependent limit on the baryonic fine structure constant of 10310210^{-3} - 10^{-2} in the UU^\prime mass range of 290 to 520 MeV/c2c^2. This analysis is based on a data sample of 976 fb1^{-1} collected by the Belle experiment at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+ee^+e^- collider.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure

    Study of e+e- => B(*) B(*)-bar pi+- at sqrt(s)=10.866 GeV

    Full text link
    We report the analysis of the three-body e+e- => B B-bar pi, B B*-bar pi, and B* B*-bar pi processes, including the first observation of the Zb+-(10610) =>[B B*-bar+c.c.]+- and Zb+-(10650) => [B*B*-bar]+- transitions. We measure visible cross sections for the three-body production of sigma_vis(e+e- => [B B*-bar+c.c.]+-pi-+=(11.2+-1.0(stat.)+-1.2(syst.)) pb and sigma_vis(e+e- => [B*B*-bar]+-pi-+)=(5.61+-0.73(stat.)+-0.66(syst.)) pb and set a 90% C.L. upper limit of sigma_vis(e+e- => [BB-bar]+-pi-+)<2.1 pb. The results are based on a 121.4 1/fb data sample collected with the Belle detector at a center-of-mass energy near the Y(5S) peak.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figure

    Search for the decay B+K0K+B^+\rightarrow\overline{K}{}^{*0}K^{*+} at Belle

    Full text link
    We report a search for the rare charmless decay B+K0K+B^+\rightarrow\overline{K}{}^{*0}K^{*+} using a data sample of 772×106772\times10^6 BBˉB\bar{B} pairs collected at the Υ(4S)\Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+ee^+e^- collider. No statistically significant signal is found and a 90% confidence-level upper limit is set on the decay branching fraction as B(B+K0K+)<1.31×106 \mathcal{B}(B^+\rightarrow\overline{K}{}^{*0}K^{*+}) <1.31\times 10^{-6}.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures, submitted to PRD(RC

    Search for D0D^{0} decays to invisible final states at Belle

    Full text link
    We report the result from the first search for D0D^0 decays to invisible final states. The analysis is performed on a data sample of 924 fb1\rm{fb}^{-1} collected at and near the Υ(4S)\Upsilon(4S) and Υ(5S)\Upsilon(5S) resonances with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+ee^{+}e^{-} collider. The absolute branching fraction is determined using an inclusive D0D^0 sample, obtained by fully reconstructing the rest of the particle system including the other charmed particle. No significant signal yield is observed and an upper limit of 9.4×1059.4\times 10^{-5} is set on the branching fraction of D0D^0 to invisible final states at 90\% confidence level.Comment: 17 pages, 4 figures, submitted to PRD(RC

    Evidence for Isospin Violation and Measurement of CPCP Asymmetries in BK(892)γB \to K^{\ast}(892) \gamma

    Full text link
    We report the first evidence for isospin violation in BKγB \to K^* \gamma and the first measurement of difference of CPCP asymmetries between B+K+γB^+ \to K^{*+} \gamma and B0K0γB^0 \to K^{*0} \gamma. This analysis is based on the data sample containing 772×106BBˉ772 \times 10^6 B\bar{B} pairs that was collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB energy-asymmetric e+ee^+ e^- collider. We find evidence for the isospin violation with a significance of 3.1σ\sigma, Δ0+=(+6.2±1.5(stat.)±0.6(syst.)±1.2(f+/f00))\Delta_{0+} = (+6.2 \pm 1.5 ({\rm stat.}) \pm 0.6 ({\rm syst.}) \pm 1.2 (f_{+-}/f_{00}))\%, where the third uncertainty is due to the uncertainty on the fraction of B+BB^+B^- to B0Bˉ0B^0\bar{B}^0 production in Υ(4S)\Upsilon(4S) decays. The measured value is consistent with predictions of the SM. The result for the difference of CPCP asymmetries is ΔACP=(+2.4±2.8(stat.)±0.5(syst.))\Delta A_{CP} = (+2.4 \pm 2.8({\rm stat.}) \pm 0.5({\rm syst.}))\%, consistent with zero. The measured branching fractions and CPCP asymmetries for charged and neutral BB meson decays are the most precise to date. We also calculate the ratio of branching fractions of B0K0γB^0 \to K^{*0} \gamma to Bs0ϕγB_s^0 \to \phi \gamma.Comment: 11 pages, 7 figures. shown at FPCP2017. accepted by PR

    Energy scan of the e+ehb(nP)π+πe^+e^- \to h_b(nP)\pi^+\pi^- (n=1,2)(n=1,2) cross sections and evidence for Υ(11020)\Upsilon(11020) decays into charged bottomonium-like states

    Full text link
    Using data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+ee^+e^- collider, we measure the energy dependence of the e+ehb(nP)π+πe^+e^- \to h_b(nP)\pi^+\pi^- (n=1,2)(n=1,2) cross sections from thresholds up to 11.0211.02\,GeV. We find clear Υ(10860)\Upsilon(10860) and Υ(11020)\Upsilon(11020) peaks with little or no continuum contribution. We study the resonant substructure of the Υ(11020)hb(nP)π+π\Upsilon(11020) \to h_b(nP)\pi^+\pi^- transitions and find evidence that they proceed entirely via the intermediate isovector states Zb(10610)Z_b(10610) and Zb(10650)Z_b(10650). The relative fraction of these states is loosely constrained by the current data: the hypothesis that only Zb(10610)Z_b(10610) is produced is excluded at the level of 3.3 standard deviations, while the hypothesis that only Zb(10650)Z_b(10650) is produced is not excluded at a significant level.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, submitted to Physical Review Letter

    Observation of B0pΛˉD()B^{0} \rightarrow p\bar{\Lambda} D^{(*)-}

    Full text link
    We report the first observation of the decays B0pΛˉD()B^0 \rightarrow p\bar{\Lambda} D^{(*)-}. The data sample of 711711 fb1^{-1} used in this analysis corresponds to 772772 million BBˉB\bar{B} pairs, collected at the Υ(4S)\Upsilon(4S) resonance by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+ee^{+}e^{-} collider. We observe 19.8σ19.8\sigma and 10.8σ10.8\sigma excesses of events for the two decay modes and measure the branching fractions of B0pΛˉDB^0 \rightarrow p\bar{\Lambda} D^{-} and B0pΛˉDB^0 \rightarrow p\bar{\Lambda} D^{*-} to be (25.1±2.6±3.5)×106(25.1\pm2.6\pm3.5)\times10^{-6} and (33.6±6.3±4.4)×106(33.6\pm6.3\pm4.4)\times10^{-6}, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. These results are not compatible with the predictions based on the generalized factorization approach. In addition, a threshold enhancement in the di-baryon (pΛˉp\bar{\Lambda}) system is observed, consistent with that observed in similar BB decays.Comment: 16 pages, 3 figures and 3 tables, submitted to PR

    Search for Bhννˉ\boldsymbol{B\to h\nu\bar{\nu}} decays with semileptonic tagging at Belle

    Full text link
    We present the results of a search for the rare decays BhννB\to h\nu\overline{\nu}, where hh stands for K+,KS0,K+,K0,π+,π0,ρ+K^+,\:K^0_{\mathrm{S}},\:K^{\ast +},\:K^{\ast 0},\:\pi^+,\:\pi^0,\:\rho^+ and ρ0\rho^{0}. The results are obtained with 772×106772\times10^{6} BBB\overline{B} pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+ee^+ e^- collider. We reconstruct one BB meson in a semileptonic decay and require a single hh meson but nothing else on the signal side. We observe no significant signal and set upper limits on the branching fractions. The limits set on the BKS0ννB\to K^0_{\mathrm{S}}\nu\overline{\nu}, B0K0ννB^0\to K^{*0}\nu\overline{\nu}, Bπ+ννB\to \pi^+\nu\overline{\nu}, B0π0ννB^0\to\pi^0\nu\overline{\nu}, B+ρ+ννB^+\to\rho^+\nu\overline{\nu}, and B0ρ0ννB^0\to\rho^0\nu\overline{\nu} channels are the world's most stringent.Comment: Submitted to PR

    Observation of D0ρ0γD^0\to \rho^0\gamma and search for CPCP violation in radiative charm decays

    Full text link
    We report the first observation of the radiative charm decay D0ρ0γD^0 \to \rho^0 \gamma and the first search for CPCP violation in decays D0ρ0γD^0 \to \rho^0 \gamma, ϕγ\phi\gamma, and K0γ\overline{K}{}^{*0} \gamma, using a data sample of 943 fb1^{-1} collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+ee^+e^- collider. The branching fraction is measured to be B(D0ρ0γ)=(1.77±0.30±0.07)×105\mathcal{B}(D^0 \to \rho^0 \gamma)=(1.77 \pm 0.30 \pm 0.07) \times 10^{-5}, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The obtained CPCP asymmetries, ACP(D0ρ0γ)=+0.056±0.152±0.006\mathcal{A}_{CP}(D^0 \to \rho^0 \gamma)=+0.056 \pm 0.152 \pm 0.006, ACP(D0ϕγ)=0.094±0.066±0.001\mathcal{A}_{CP}(D^0 \to \phi \gamma)=-0.094 \pm 0.066 \pm 0.001, and ACP(D0K0γ)=0.003±0.020±0.000\mathcal{A}_{CP}(D^0 \to \overline{K}{}^{*0} \gamma)=-0.003 \pm 0.020 \pm 0.000, are consistent with no CPCP violation. We also present an improved measurement of the branching fractions B(D0ϕγ)=(2.76±0.19±0.10)×105\mathcal{B}(D^0 \to \phi \gamma)=(2.76 \pm 0.19 \pm 0.10) \times 10^{-5} and B(D0K0γ)=(4.66±0.21±0.21)×104\mathcal{B}(D^0 \to \overline{K}{}^{*0} \gamma)=(4.66 \pm 0.21 \pm 0.21) \times 10^{-4}
