Preliminary study on broad-spectrum Human Papillomavirus vaccine based on L2 cross-neutralizing epitope

宫颈癌是世界范围内妇女易患的第二大癌症，HPV预防性疫苗已成为目前公认的预防宫颈癌发生的最有效手段。研究表明以HPVL1蛋白形成的HPVVLP疫苗免疫后产生的中和抗体具有型特异性，与宫颈癌有关的主要型别至少有15种。因此，扩大HPV疫苗的保护范围成为了预防性HPV疫苗的研制亟需解决的问题，所以有必要开发一种新型的，用1~2种抗原就能预防多型别HPV的广谱疫苗。 目前对HPV广谱疫苗的研究主要集中在HPVL2表位的研究，研究发现HPVL2蛋白上存在大量广谱表位，合成这些广谱表位免疫小鼠或者将广谱表位融合在蛋白免疫载体中形成嵌合蛋白免疫小鼠后，均能够产生交叉保护抗体。这些研究表明HPVL2具有发...Cervical cancer is the second most prevalent cancer among women worldwide. Recent years, with the relationship between high-risk HPV infection and cervical cancer gradually clarified, HPV prophylactic vaccine has become the most effective methods to prevent cervical cancer. Presently Merck’s Gardasil® (HPV6/11/16 / 18 quadrivalent vaccine) and GlaxoSmithKline’s CervarixTM (HPV16/18 bivalent va...学位：理学硕士院系专业：生命科学学院生物化学与生物技术系_生物化学与分子生物学学号：2172009115208

Differential cross section measurements for the production of a W boson in association with jets in proton-proton collisions at root s=7 TeV

Citation: Khachatryan, V., Sirunyan, A. M., Tumasyan, A., Adam, W., Bergauer, T., Dragicevic, M., . . . Collaboration, C. M. S. (2015). Differential cross section measurements for the production of a W boson in association with jets in proton-proton collisions at root s=7 TeV. Physics Letters B, 741, 12-37. doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2014.12.003Measurements are reported of differential cross sections for the production of a W boson, which decays into a muon and a neutrino, in association with jets, as a function of several variables, including the transverse momenta (p(T)) and pseudorapidities of the four leading jets, the scalar sum of jet transverse momenta (H-T), and the difference in azimuthal angle between the directions of each jet and the muon. The data sample of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV was collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb (1). The measured cross sections are compared to predictions from Monte Carlo generators, MADGRAPH + PYTHIA and SHERPA, and to next-to-leading-order calculations from BLACKHAT + SHERPA. The differential cross sections are found to be in agreement with the predictions, apart from the p(T) distributions of the leading jets at high p(T) values, the distributions of the H-T at high-H-T and low jet multiplicity, and the distribution of the difference in azimuthal angle between the leading jet and the muon at low values.

Position Reconstruction in Drift Chambers operated with Xe, CO2 (15%)

We present measurements of position and angular resolution of drift chambers operated with a Xe,CO$_2$(15%) mixture. The results are compared to Monte Carlo simulations and important systematic effects, in particular the dispersive nature of the absorption of transition radiation and non-linearities, are discussed. The measurements were carried out with prototype drift chambers of the ALICE Transition Radiation Detector, but our findings can be generalized to other drift chambers with similar geometry, where the electron drift is perpendicular to the wire planes.Comment: 30 pages, 18 figure

Measurement of jet multiplicity distributions in [Formula: see text] production in pp collisions at [Formula: see text].

The normalised differential top quark-antiquark production cross section is measured as a function of the jet multiplicity in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7[Formula: see text] at the LHC with the CMS detector. The measurement is performed in both the dilepton and lepton+jets decay channels using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0[Formula: see text]. Using a procedure to associate jets to decay products of the top quarks, the differential cross section of the [Formula: see text] production is determined as a function of the additional jet multiplicity in the lepton+jets channel. Furthermore, the fraction of events with no additional jets is measured in the dilepton channel, as a function of the threshold on the jet transverse momentum. The measurements are compared with predictions from perturbative quantum chromodynamics and no significant deviations are observed

Probing color coherence effects in pp collisions at [Formula: see text].

A study of color coherence effects in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7[Formula: see text] is presented. The data used in the analysis were collected in 2010 with the CMS detector at the LHC and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb[Formula: see text]. Events are selected that contain at least three jets and where the two jets with the largest transverse momentum exhibit a back-to-back topology. The measured angular correlation between the second- and third-leading jet is shown to be sensitive to color coherence effects, and is compared to the predictions of Monte Carlo models with various implementations of color coherence. None of the models describe the data satisfactorily

Measurement of WZ and ZZ production in pp collisions at [Formula: see text] in final states with b-tagged jets.

Measurements are reported of the WZ and ZZ production cross sections in proton-proton collisions at [Formula: see text][Formula: see text] in final states where one Z boson decays to b-tagged jets. The other gauge boson, either W or Z, is detected through its leptonic decay (either [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], or [Formula: see text]). The results are based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 18.9 fb[Formula: see text] collected with the CMS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The measured cross sections, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], are consistent with next-to-leading order quantum chromodynamics calculations

Measurement of differential cross sections for the production of a pair of isolated photons in pp collisions at [Formula: see text].

A measurement of differential cross sections for the production of a pair of isolated photons in proton-proton collisions at [Formula: see text] is presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5.0[Formula: see text] collected with the CMS detector. A data-driven isolation template method is used to extract the prompt diphoton yield. The measured cross section for two isolated photons, with transverse energy above 40 and 25[Formula: see text] respectively, in the pseudorapidity range [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and with an angular separation [Formula: see text], is [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]. Differential cross sections are measured as a function of the diphoton invariant mass, the diphoton transverse momentum, the azimuthal angle difference between the two photons, and the cosine of the polar angle in the Collins-Soper reference frame of the diphoton system. The results are compared to theoretical predictions at leading, next-to-leading, and next-to-next-to-leading order in quantum chromodynamics
