Disminución de los costos de operación en las cosechadoras de caña a través de un plan de mantenimiento en la empresa agroindustrial laredo S.A.A.

El presente trabajo de investigación tiene como objetivo fundamental proponer mejoras al plan de mantenimiento de las Cosechadoras de caña en la Empresa Agroindustrial Laredo S.A.A., con el fin de disminuir los costos de operación y al mismo tiempo aumentar la disponibilidad de cada una de ellas, permitiendo formular estrategias para mejorar la planificación y ejecución del mantenimiento. Para el desarrollo de esta investigación, se contó con una data de Costos de Operación y Frecuencia de Fallas del año 2013, primero se procedió a describir el estado actual en el que se encuentra el área de Taller Agrícola con respecto al mantenimiento de las Cosechadoras de caña consultando con el software de mantenimiento para ver el historial de estos equipos, teniendo esa data se procedió a calcular el Tiempo Promedio entre Fallas (MTBF) y el Tiempo Promedio para Reparar (MTTR) para luego calcular la Disponibilidad de cada cosechadora. Seguidamente se propone un cambio del uso de aceite minerales por aceites sintéticos para los sistemas motor e hidráulico, ampliando los rangos de cambio de aceite, se propuso una organización del área por cargos y sus respectivas funciones del personal; implementar el uso de indicadores de mantenimiento y de gestión para la toma de decisiones acertadas según los datos obtenidos. Luego se realizó un análisis de los costos de operación con un mantenimiento inconsistente de cada cosechadora tomando solo como datos los costos de mano de obra, combustible, lubricantes, filtros y desgaste de neumáticos; para luego estimar los costos de operación con un mantenimiento responsable, con la implementación de aceites sintéticos y análisis de aceites. A esto se obtuvo los costos de operación totales con un mantenimiento responsable y comparándola con la gestión anterior (mantenimiento inconsistente) se comprobó un ahorró total de S/. 243,633.66 y un aumento de la producción total por todas las cosechadoras de caña en 1994429 Toneladas de caña en un periodo de 12 meses lo cual es un ahorro muy importante para la empresa

Measurement of nuclear modification factors of gamma(1S)), gamma(2S), and gamma(3S) mesons in PbPb collisions at root s(NN)=5.02 TeV

The cross sections for ϒ(1S), ϒ(2S), and ϒ(3S) production in lead-lead (PbPb) and proton-proton (pp) collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV have been measured using the CMS detector at the LHC. The nuclear modification factors, RAA, derived from the PbPb-to-pp ratio of yields for each state, are studied as functions of meson rapidity and transverse momentum, as well as PbPb collision centrality. The yields of all three states are found to be significantly suppressed, and compatible with a sequential ordering of the suppression, RAA(ϒ(1S)) > RAA(ϒ(2S)) > RAA(ϒ(3S)). The suppression of ϒ(1S) is larger than that seen at √sNN = 2.76 TeV, although the two are compatible within uncertainties. The upper limit on the RAA of ϒ(3S) integrated over pT, rapidity and centrality is 0.096 at 95% confidence level, which is the strongest suppression observed for a quarkonium state in heavy ion collisions to date. © 2019 The Author(s).

Combination of searches for heavy spin-1 resonances using 139 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data at s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

A combination of searches for new heavy spin-1 resonances decaying into different pairings of W, Z, or Higgs bosons, as well as directly into leptons or quarks, is presented. The data sample used corresponds to 139 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at = 13 TeV collected during 2015–2018 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Analyses selecting quark pairs (qq, bb, , and tb) or third-generation leptons (τν and ττ) are included in this kind of combination for the first time. A simplified model predicting a spin-1 heavy vector-boson triplet is used. Cross-section limits are set at the 95% confidence level and are compared with predictions for the benchmark model. These limits are also expressed in terms of constraints on couplings of the heavy vector-boson triplet to quarks, leptons, and the Higgs boson. The complementarity of the various analyses increases the sensitivity to new physics, and the resulting constraints are stronger than those from any individual analysis considered. The data exclude a heavy vector-boson triplet with mass below 5.8 TeV in a weakly coupled scenario, below 4.4 TeV in a strongly coupled scenario, and up to 1.5 TeV in the case of production via vector-boson fusion

Searches for lepton-flavour-violating decays of the Higgs boson into eτ and μτ in \sqrt{s} = 13 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector

Abstract This paper presents direct searches for lepton flavour violation in Higgs boson decays, H → eτ and H → μτ, performed using data collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The searches are based on a data sample of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy s $$\sqrt{s}$$ = 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb−1. Leptonic (τ → ℓνℓντ) and hadronic (τ → hadrons ντ) decays of the τ-lepton are considered. Two background estimation techniques are employed: the MC-template method, based on data-corrected simulation samples, and the Symmetry method, based on exploiting the symmetry between electrons and muons in the Standard Model backgrounds. No significant excess of events is observed and the results are interpreted as upper limits on lepton-flavour-violating branching ratios of the Higgs boson. The observed (expected) upper limits set on the branching ratios at 95% confidence level, B $$\mathcal{B}$$ (H → eτ) < 0.20% (0.12%) and B $$\mathcal{B}$$ (H → μτ ) < 0.18% (0.09%), are obtained with the MC-template method from a simultaneous measurement of potential H → eτ and H → μτ signals. The best-fit branching ratio difference, B $$\mathcal{B}$$ (H → μτ) → B $$\mathcal{B}$$ (H → eτ), measured with the Symmetry method in the channel where the τ-lepton decays to leptons, is (0.25 ± 0.10)%, compatible with a value of zero within 2.5σ

Measurement of the H → γ γ and H → ZZ∗ → 4 cross-sections in pp collisions at √s = 13.6 TeV with the ATLAS detector

The inclusive Higgs boson production cross section is measured in the di-photon and the Z Z∗ → 4 decay channels using 31.4 and 29.0 fb−1 of pp collision data respectively, collected with the ATLAS detector at a centre of-mass energy of √s = 13.6 TeV. To reduce the model dependence, the measurement in each channel is restricted to a particle-level phase space that closely matches the chan nel’s detector-level kinematic selection, and it is corrected for detector effects. These measured fiducial cross-sections are σfid,γ γ = 76+14 −13 fb, and σfid,4 = 2.80 ± 0.74 fb, in agreement with the corresponding Standard Model predic tions of 67.6±3.7 fb and 3.67±0.19 fb. Assuming Standard Model acceptances and branching fractions for the two chan nels, the fiducial measurements are extrapolated to the full phase space yielding total cross-sections of σ (pp → H) = 67+12 −11 pb and 46±12 pb at 13.6 TeV from the di-photon and Z Z∗ → 4 measurements respectively. The two measure ments are combined into a total cross-section measurement of σ (pp → H) = 58.2±8.7 pb, to be compared with the Stan dard Model prediction of σ (pp → H)SM = 59.9 ± 2.6 p

Combination of searches for invisible decays of the Higgs boson using 139 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data at root s=13 TeV collected with the ATLAS experiment

Many extensions of the Standard Model predict the production of dark matter particles at the LHC. Sufficiently light dark matter particles may be produced in decays of the Higgs boson that would appear invisible to the detector. This Letter presents a statistical combination of searches for H→invisible decays where multiple production modes of the Standard Model Higgs boson are considered. These searches are performed with the ATLAS detector using 139 fb−1of proton–proton collisions at a centre–of–mass energy of √s=13TeV at the LHC. In combination with the results at √s=7TeV and 8TeV, an upper limit on the H→invisible branching ratio of 0.107 (0.077) at the 95% confidence level is observed (expected). These results are also interpreted in the context of models where the 125GeV Higgs boson acts as a portal to dark matter, and limits are set on the scattering cross-section of weakly interacting massive particles and nucleons

Inclusive-photon production and its dependence on photon isolation in pp collisions at s \sqrt{s} = 13 TeV using 139 fb−1 of ATLAS data

Measurements of differential cross sections are presented for inclusive isolated-photon production in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV provided by the LHC and using 139 fb−1 of data recorded by the ATLAS experiment. The cross sections are measured as functions of the photon transverse energy in different regions of photon pseudorapidity. The photons are required to be isolated by means of a fixed-cone method with two different cone radii. The dependence of the inclusive-photon production on the photon isolation is investigated by measuring the fiducial cross sections as functions of the isolation-cone radius and the ratios of the differential cross sections with different radii in different regions of photon pseudorapidity. The results presented in this paper constitute an improvement with respect to those published by ATLAS earlier: the measurements are provided for different isolation radii and with a more granular segmentation in photon pseudorapidity that can be exploited in improving the determination of the proton parton distribution functions. These improvements provide a more in-depth test of the theoretical predictions. Next-to-leading-order QCD predictions from JETPHOX and SHERPA and next-to-next-to-leading-order QCD predictions from NNLOJET are compared to the measurements, using several parameterisations of the proton parton distribution functions. The measured cross sections are well described by the fixed-order QCD predictions within the experimental and theoretical uncertainties in most of the investigated phase-space region

Measurement of the polarisation of W bosons produced in top-quark decays using dilepton events at root s=13 TeV with the ATLAS experiment

A measurement of the polarisation of $W$ bosons produced in top-quark decays is presented, using proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV. The data were collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb$^{-1}$. The measurement is performed selecting $t\bar{t}$ events decaying into final states with two charged leptons (electrons or muons) and at least two $b$-tagged jets. The polarisation is extracted from the differential cross-section distribution of the $\cos{\theta^{*}}$ variable, where $\theta^{*}$ is the angle between the momentum direction of the charged lepton from the $W$ boson decay and the reversed momentum direction of the $b$-quark from the top-quark decay, both calculated in the $W$ boson rest frame. Parton-level results, corrected for the detector acceptance and resolution, are presented for the $\cos{\theta^{*}}$ angle. The measured fractions of longitudinal, left- and right-handed polarisation states are found to be $f_{0} = 0.684 \pm 0.005\,\mathrm{(stat.)} \pm 0.014\,\mathrm{(syst.)}$, $f_{\mathrm{L}} = 0.318 \pm 0.003\,\mathrm{(stat.)} \pm 0.008\,\mathrm{(syst.)}$ and $f_{\mathrm{R}} = -0.002 \pm 0.002\,\mathrm{(stat.)} \pm 0.014\,\mathrm{(syst.)}$, in agreement with the Standard Model prediction
