    PB-111 Introducción: En el linfoma de Hodgkin (LH) las alteraciones genéticas del cromosoma 9p24.1 de la célula de Reed-Sternberg, causan una sobreexpresión del ligando 1 de muerte programada (PDL-1), que conducen a una evasión del sistema inmune y resistencia terapéutica. Para pacientes refractarios primarios o que recaen después de un trasplante autólogo y de tratamiento con Brentuxumab, existen pocas posibilidades. Nivolumab es una opción para conseguir respuesta y poder realizar trasplante alogénico. Presentamos la experiencia de 4 casos clínicos de Aragón. Paciente y métodos: Caso 1: Varón de 69 años diagnosticado de LH celularidad mixta estadio IIIA en Junio de 2005. 1ª línea: ABVDx6 y radioterapia mediastínica con RC. 2ª línea: por recidiva cervical: Ifosfamida, Vinorelbina y Prednisona con RC. 3ª línea: afectación cervical y retoperitoneal: cisplatino, citarabina y dexametasona más radioterapia cervical con RC. 4ª línea: MOPPx4 y Rituximab Gemcitabina con RC. Autotrasplante en Noviembre de 2011 con RC. 5ª línea: por afectación cervical, retroperitoneal, esplénica e iliaco: Brentuximabx4 y por mala respuesta se añade Bendamustinax3 con RC. A los 4 meses recaída agresiva con amplia afectación ósea y esplénica. Se administra Nivolumab. Caso 2: Varón de 32 años con LH esclerosis nodular IIIB en 2015. Tratado en otro país con ABVDx6 con RC y recaída al año. Después BEACOPPx4, GEMOXx4 y DHAPx4 sin resultado. En nuestro país Brentuximabx4 con progresión. Se administra Nivolumab. Caso3: Varón de 56 años con LH esclerosis nodular IVsB, en Septiembre de 2017. 1ª línea: ABVDx3 y AVDx3 con refractariedad y neumonitis por Bleomicina.2ª línea:ESAHPx2 con persistencia y toxicidad. 3ª línea: Brentuximabx4 con RC, consolidando con Brentuximab- Bendamustinax4. Progresión posterior rápida. Se administra Nivolumab. Caso 4:varón de 32 años diagnosticado en Abril 2016 de LH depleción linfocítica IVB (ósea). 1ª línea:ABVDx6 con RC. Recaída Mayo 2018.2ª línea: ESHAPx2 con persistencia.3ª línea: Brentuximabx4 con progresión. Se administra Nivolumab. Resultados: En el caso 1 se consigue RC con ..

    Constraints on the χ_(c1) versus χ_(c2) polarizations in proton-proton collisions at √s = 8 TeV

    The polarizations of promptly produced χ_(c1) and χ_(c2) mesons are studied using data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, in proton-proton collisions at √s=8  TeV. The χ_c states are reconstructed via their radiative decays χ_c → J/ψγ, with the photons being measured through conversions to e⁺e⁻, which allows the two states to be well resolved. The polarizations are measured in the helicity frame, through the analysis of the χ_(c2) to χ_(c1) yield ratio as a function of the polar or azimuthal angle of the positive muon emitted in the J/ψ → μ⁺μ⁻ decay, in three bins of J/ψ transverse momentum. While no differences are seen between the two states in terms of azimuthal decay angle distributions, they are observed to have significantly different polar anisotropies. The measurement favors a scenario where at least one of the two states is strongly polarized along the helicity quantization axis, in agreement with nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics predictions. This is the first measurement of significantly polarized quarkonia produced at high transverse momentum

    Measurement of χ c1 and χ c2 production with s√ = 7 TeV pp collisions at ATLAS

    The prompt and non-prompt production cross-sections for the χ c1 and χ c2 charmonium states are measured in pp collisions at s√ = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC using 4.5 fb−1 of integrated luminosity. The χ c states are reconstructed through the radiative decay χ c → J/ψγ (with J/ψ → μ + μ −) where photons are reconstructed from γ → e + e − conversions. The production rate of the χ c2 state relative to the χ c1 state is measured for prompt and non-prompt χ c as a function of J/ψ transverse momentum. The prompt χ c cross-sections are combined with existing measurements of prompt J/ψ production to derive the fraction of prompt J/ψ produced in feed-down from χ c decays. The fractions of χ c1 and χ c2 produced in b-hadron decays are also measured

    Measurement of the production of a W boson in association with a charm quark in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

    The production of a W boson in association with a single charm quark is studied using 4.6 fb−1 of pp collision data at s√ = 7 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. In events in which a W boson decays to an electron or muon, the charm quark is tagged either by its semileptonic decay to a muon or by the presence of a charmed meson. The integrated and differential cross sections as a function of the pseudorapidity of the lepton from the W-boson decay are measured. Results are compared to the predictions of next-to-leading-order QCD calculations obtained from various parton distribution function parameterisations. The ratio of the strange-to-down sea-quark distributions is determined to be 0.96+0.26−0.30 at Q 2 = 1.9 GeV2, which supports the hypothesis of an SU(3)-symmetric composition of the light-quark sea. Additionally, the cross-section ratio σ(W + +c¯¯)/σ(W − + c) is compared to the predictions obtained using parton distribution function parameterisations with different assumptions about the s−s¯¯¯ quark asymmetry
