Measurements of KL Branching Fractions and the CP Violation Parameter |eta+-|
We present new measurements of the six largest branching fractions of the KL
using data collected in 1997 by the KTeV experiment (E832) at Fermilab. The
results are B(KL -> pi e nu) = 0.4067 +- 0.0011 B(KL -> pi mu nu) = 0.2701 +-
0.0009 B(KL -> pi+ pi- pi0) = 0.1252 +- 0.0007 B(KL -> pi0 pi0 pi0) = 0.1945 +-
0.0018 B(KL -> pi+ pi-) = (1.975 +- 0.012)E-3, and B(KL -> pi0 pi0) = (0.865 +-
0.010)E-3, where statistical and systematic errors have been summed in
quadrature. We also determine the CP violation parameter |eta+-| to be (2.228
+- 0.010)E-3. Several of these results are not in good agreement with averages
of previous measurements.Comment: Submitted to Phys. Rev. D; 20 pages, 22 figure

Reading tea leaves worldwide: Decoupled drivers of initial litter decomposition mass-loss rate and stabilization
The breakdown of plant material fuels soil functioning and biodiversity. Currently, process understanding of global decomposition patterns and the drivers of such patterns are hampered by the lack of coherent large-scale datasets. We buried 36,000 individual litterbags (tea bags) worldwide and found an overall negative correlation between initial mass-loss rates and stabilization factors of plant-derived carbon, using the Tea Bag Index (TBI). The stabilization factor quantifies the degree to which easy-to-degrade components accumulate during early-stage decomposition (e.g. by environmental limitations). However, agriculture and an interaction between moisture and temperature led to a decoupling between initial mass-loss rates and stabilization, notably in colder locations. Using TBI improved mass-loss estimates of natural litter compared to models that ignored stabilization. Ignoring the transformation of dead plant material to more recalcitrant substances during early-stage decomposition, and the environmental control of this transformation, could overestimate carbon losses during early decomposition in carbon cycle models
