Implication of the Mott-limit violation in high-Tc cuprates
The Fermi arc is a striking manifestation of the strong-correlation physics
in high-T_c cuprates. In this paper, implications of the metallic transport in
the lightly hole-doped regime of the cuprates, where the Fermi arcs are found,
are examined in conjunction with competing interpretations of the Fermi arcs in
terms of small hole pockets or a large underlying Fermi surface. It is
discussed that the latter picture provides a more natural understanding of the
metallic transport in view of the Mott-limit argument. Furthermore, it is shown
that a suitable modeling of the Fermi arcs in the framework of the Boltzmann
theory allows us to intuitively understand why the transport properties are
apparently determined by a "small" carrier density even when the underlying
Fermi surface, and hence k_F, is large.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures; manuscript for the Proceedings of SNS2007 to be

Observation of the Baryonic Flavor-Changing Neutral Current Decay Lambda_b -> Lambda mu+ mu-
We report the first observation of the baryonic flavor-changing neutral
current decay Lambda_b -> Lambda mu+ mu- with 24 signal events and a
statistical significance of 5.8 Gaussian standard deviations. This measurement
uses ppbar collisions data sample corresponding to 6.8fb-1 at sqrt{s}=1.96TeV
collected by the CDF II detector at the Tevatron collider. The total and
differential branching ratios for Lambda_b -> Lambda mu+ mu- are measured. We
find B(Lambda_b -> Lambda mu+ mu-) = [1.73+-0.42(stat)+-0.55(syst)] x 10^{-6}.
We also report the first measurement of the differential branching ratio of B_s
-> phi mu+ mu- using 49 signal events. In addition, we report branching ratios
for B+ -> K+ mu+ mu-, B0 -> K0 mu+ mu-, and B -> K*(892) mu+ mu- decays.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures, 4 tables. Submitted to Phys. Rev. Let
Search for the standard model Higgs boson decaying to a pair in events with no charged leptons and large missing transverse energy using the full CDF data set
We report on a search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in
association with a vector boson in the full data set of proton-antiproton
collisions at TeV recorded by the CDF II detector at the
Tevatron, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9.45 fb. We
consider events having no identified charged lepton, a transverse energy
imbalance, and two or three jets, of which at least one is consistent with
originating from the decay of a quark. We place 95% credibility level upper
limits on the production cross section times standard model branching fraction
for several mass hypotheses between 90 and . For a Higgs
boson mass of , the observed (expected) limit is 6.7
(3.6) times the standard model prediction.Comment: Accepted by Phys. Rev. Let
Fortalecimiento de los Eslabones de la Cadena de Valor del Frijol en el Norte de Nicaragua
Esta publicación es el resultado de un proceso de sistematización participativo facilitado por el Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT) para el Programa de Gestión Rural Empresarial, Sanidad y Ambiente (PROGRESA). El presente documento sistematiza la experiencia del fortalecimiento de los eslabones de la cadena de valor del frijol en el norte de Nicaragua, en busca de mejorar la competitividad del sector a través de la articulación de los diferentes actores. Además, este recuento recopila los aprendizajes de la Comisión Técnica de Frijol integrada por representantes de los socios locales del Programa: ASDENIC, Cáritas Estelí, Cáritas Matagalpa y FIDER
Search for the standard model Higgs boson decaying to a bb pair in events with one charged lepton and large missing transverse energy using the full CDF data set
We present a search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in
association with a W boson in sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV p-pbar collision data
collected with the CDF II detector at the Tevatron corresponding to an
integrated luminosity of 9.45 fb-1. In events consistent with the decay of the
Higgs boson to a bottom-quark pair and the W boson to an electron or muon and a
neutrino, we set 95% credibility level upper limits on the WH production cross
section times the H->bb branching ratio as a function of Higgs boson mass. At a
Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV/c2 we observe (expect) a limit of 4.9 (2.8) times
the standard model value.Comment: Submitted to Phys. Rev. Lett (v2 contains clarifications suggested by

Search for the standard model Higgs boson decaying to a bb pair in events with two oppositely-charged leptons using the full CDF data set
We present a search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in
association with a Z boson in data collected with the CDF II detector at the
Tevatron, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9.45/fb. In events
consistent with the decay of the Higgs boson to a bottom-quark pair and the Z
boson to electron or muon pairs, we set 95% credibility level upper limits on
the ZH production cross section times the H -> bb branching ratio as a function
of Higgs boson mass. At a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV/c^2 we observe (expect) a
limit of 7.1 (3.9) times the standard model value.Comment: To be submitted to Phys. Rev. Let
