КОРРЕКЦИЯ ДЕФОРМАЦИЙ БЕДРЕННОЙ КОСТИ ПО ИЛИЗАРОВУ И ОСНОВАННЫМ НА КОМПЬЮТЕРНОЙ НАВИГАЦИИ АППАРАТОМ «ОРТО-СУВ»

Results of correction of femur deformations by Ilizarov method and with apparatus Orto-SuV working on the basis of computer navigation are analyzed. For elimination of difficult deformations in order to avoid multiple external fixator remounting with stage-by-stage radiological control it is expedient to use apparatus Orto-SUV. In order to elimination of moderate and simple deformations (except torsion) as hexapods and traditional techniques can be a choice method. The use «Orto-SUV» apparatus allows to reduce time necessary for deformation correction and osteosynthesis term in 1,4–2,4 times (for average and severe deformations).Проанализированы результаты коррекции деформаций бедренной кости по Илизарову и с использованием аппарата Орто-СУВ. Для устранения сложных деформаций во избежание многократных перемонтажей аппарата с поэтапным рентгенологическим контролем целесообразно применение аппарата Орто-СУВ, работающего на основе компьютерной навигации. При устранении деформаций средней степени тяжести, простых деформаций (кроме торсионных) применение как гексаподов, так и традиционных методик может быть методом выбора. Применение аппарата Орто-СУВ позволяет в 1,4–2,4 раза (для средних и сложных деформаций) сократить время, необходимое для коррекции деформации и, следовательно, срок остеосинтеза

Helium identification with LHCb

The identification of helium nuclei at LHCb is achieved using a method based on measurements of ionisation losses in the silicon sensors and timing measurements in the Outer Tracker drift tubes. The background from photon conversions is reduced using the RICH detectors and an isolation requirement. The method is developed using pp collision data at √(s) = 13 TeV recorded by the LHCb experiment in the years 2016 to 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.5 fb-1. A total of around 105 helium and antihelium candidates are identified with negligible background contamination. The helium identification efficiency is estimated to be approximately 50% with a corresponding background rejection rate of up to O(10^12). These results demonstrate the feasibility of a rich programme of measurements of QCD and astrophysics interest involving light nuclei

Curvature-bias corrections using a pseudomass method

Momentum measurements for very high momentum charged particles, such as muons from electroweak vector boson decays, are particularly susceptible to charge-dependent curvature biases that arise from misalignments of tracking detectors. Low momentum charged particles used in alignment procedures have limited sensitivity to coherent displacements of such detectors, and therefore are unable to fully constrain these misalignments to the precision necessary for studies of electroweak physics. Additional approaches are therefore required to understand and correct for these effects. In this paper the curvature biases present at the LHCb detector are studied using the pseudomass method in proton-proton collision data recorded at centre of mass energy √(s)=13 TeV during 2016, 2017 and 2018. The biases are determined using Z→μ + μ - decays in intervals defined by the data-taking period, magnet polarity and muon direction. Correcting for these biases, which are typically at the 10-4 GeV-1 level, improves the Z→μ + μ - mass resolution by roughly 18% and eliminates several pathological trends in the kinematic-dependence of the mean dimuon invariant mass

The production of prompt $D^0$ mesons in proton-lead collisions in the forward and backward configurations at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}} = 8.16~\mathrm{TeV}$ is measured by the LHCb experiment. The nuclear modification factor of prompt $D^0$ mesons is determined as a function of the transverse momentum $p_\mathrm{T}$, and rapidity in the nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass frame $y^*$. In the forward rapidity region, significantly suppressed production is measured, which provides a stringent test of the nuclear parton distribution down to the very low Bjorken-$x$ region of $\sim 10^{-6}$. In the backward rapidity region, a suppression with a significance of 2 - 4 standard deviations compared to theoretical predictions is observed in the kinematic region of $p_\mathrm{T}>6~\mathrm{GeV}/c$ and -3.25 D0 mesons in proton-lead collisions in both the forward and backward rapidity regions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of sNN=8.16  TeV is measured by the LHCb experiment. The nuclear modification factor of prompt D0 mesons is determined as a function of the transverse momentum pT, and the rapidity in the nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass frame y*. In the forward rapidity region, significantly suppressed production with respect to pp collisions is measured, which provides significant constraints on models of nuclear parton distributions and hadron production down to the very low Bjorken-x region of ∼10-5. In the backward rapidity region, a suppression with a significance of 2.0–3.8 standard deviations compared to parton distribution functions in a nuclear environment expectations is found in the kinematic region of pT>6  GeV/c and -3.25<y*<-2.5, corresponding to x∼0.01.The production of prompt D^0$mesons in proton-lead collisions in the forward and backward configurations at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of$\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}} = 8.16~\mathrm{TeV}$is measured by the LHCb experiment.

First measurement of the Z→μ+μ−Z\rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^- angular coefficients in the forward region of pppp collisions at s=13\sqrt{s}=13 TeV

The first study of the angular distribution of $\mu^+ \mu^-$ pairs produced in the forward rapidity region via the Drell-Yan reaction $pp \rightarrow \gamma^{*}/Z +X \rightarrow l^+ l^- + X$ is presented, using data collected with the LHCb detector at a centre-of-mass energy of 13TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.1 $\rm{fb}^{-1}$. The coefficients of the five leading terms in the angular distribution are determined as a function of the dimuon transverse momentum and rapidity. The results are compared to various theoretical predictions of the $Z$-boson production mechanism and can also be used to probe transverse-momentum-dependent parton distributions within the proton

International audienceA simultaneous analysis of the B+→K+ℓ+ℓ- and B0→K*0ℓ+ℓ- decays is performed to test muon-electron universality in two ranges of the square of the dilepton invariant mass, q2. The measurement uses a sample of beauty meson decays produced in proton-proton collisions collected with the LHCb detector between 2011 and 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9  fb-1. A sequence of multivariate selections and strict particle identification requirements produce a higher signal purity and a better statistical sensitivity per unit luminosity than previous LHCb lepton universality tests using the same decay modes. Residual backgrounds due to misidentified hadronic decays are studied using data and included in the fit model. Each of the four lepton universality measurements reported is either the first in the given q2 interval or supersedes previous LHCb measurements. The results are compatible with the predictions of the Standard Model

Observation of the B+^{+}→ Jψη′K+^{+} decay

International audienceThe B$^{+}$ → Jψη′K$^{+}$ decay is observed for the first time using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 9 fb$^{−1}$. The branching fraction of this decay is measured relative to the known branching fraction of the B$^{+}$ → ψ(2S)K$^{+}$ decay and found to be$\frac{\mathcal{B}\left({B}^{+}\to {J\psi \eta}^{\prime }{K}^{+}\right)}{\mathcal{B}\left({B}^{+}\to \psi (2S){K}^{+}\right)}=\left(4.91\pm 0.47\pm 0.29\pm 0.07\right)\times {10}^{-2},$where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic and the third is related to external branching fractions. A first look at the J/ψη′ mass distribution is performed and no signal of intermediate resonances is observed.[graphic not available: see fulltext
