Plataforma integrada de pagos para la Universidad de Zaragoza

Para permitir que los ciudadanos que así lo desean puedan relacionarse con la Universidad de Zaragoza usando exclusivamente medios electrónicos, es necesario disponer de una infraestructura de pago de tasas por medios electrónicos. Un sistema de pago electrónico, seguro, flexible y multiplataforma es uno de los pilares básicos sobre el que debe apoyarse el servicio de Administración Electrónica. En este momento la Universidad de Zaragoza ofrece sistemas de pago electrónico encastrados en algunos procedimientos concretos de administración electrónica como la solicitud de certificados académicos o la solicitud de título, pero de cara a generalizar la posibilidad de pago electrónico se necesita ofrecer un servicio genérico de pago de tasas, independientemente del procedimiento. Al sistema desarrollado se le va a llamar Plataforma Integrada de Pagos para la Universidad de Zaragoza (PIPUZ). El acceso y uso del sistema se hará utilizando una interfaz web para administradores y usuarios y una API de integración con las aplicaciones. Está compuesta de 5 módulos: 1. Panel de administración del sistema 2. Gestión de tasas, comercios y unidades contables 3. Gestión de usuarios del sistema y pagos 4. Integración con pasarelas de pago virtual (TPV y Paypal) 5. API de acceso al sistema para otras aplicaciones y procesos El sistema está preparado para integrarse con los principales sistemas de información existente en la Universidad de Zaragoza: sistema de autenticación y autorización de usuarios, sistema de gestión de perfiles de tramitación, sistemas de gestión contable, sistemas de continuidad de los servicios (backups, alarmas, etc), sistema de gestión documental, etc. La definición y especificación de la solución se ha realizado siguiendo la metodología Scrum. El desarrollo de la solución se ha realizado utilizando PHP y siguiendo el paradigma MVC (Modelo Vista Controlador). Para el modelo se ha utilizado una base de datos MySQL con ayuda del framework de PHP PDO. Para la vista, se ha realizado una interfaz web con HTML, CSS con Bootstrap y JavaScript con AngularJS. Por último, para la parte del controlador, se ha utilizado una tecnología REST implementada en lenguaje PHP utilizando como herramienta el framework Slim

Measurement of the CP asymmetry in B − → Ds − D 0 and B − → D − D 0 decays

Abstract: The CP asymmetry in B− → D− s D0 and B− → D−D0 decays is measured using LHCb data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb−1 , collected in pp collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The results are ACP (B− → D− s D0 ) = (−0.4 ± 0.5 ± 0.5)% and ACP (B− → D−D0 ) = (2.3 ± 2.7 ± 0.4)%, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. This is the first measurement of ACP (B− → D− s D0 ) and the most precise determination of ACP (B− → D−D0 ). Neither result shows evidence of CP violation

Measurement of CP asymmetry in Bs 0 → Ds ∓ K ± decays

Abstract: We report the measurements of the CP-violating parameters in B0 s → D∓ s K± decays observed in pp collisions, using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb−1 recorded with the LHCb detector. We measure Cf = 0.73 ± 0.14 ± 0.05, A∆Γ f = 0.39 ± 0.28 ± 0.15, A∆Γ f¯ = 0.31 ± 0.28 ± 0.15, Sf = −0.52 ± 0.20 ± 0.07, Sf¯ = −0.49 ± 0.20 ± 0.07, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. These parameters are used together with the world-average value of the B0 s mixing phase, −2βs, to obtain a measurement of the CKM angle γ from B0 s → D∓ s K± decays, yielding γ = (128 +17 −22) ◦ modulo 180◦ , where the uncertainty contains both statistical and systematic contributions. This corresponds to 3.8 σ evidence for CP violation in the interference between decay and decay after mixin

Measurements of the branching fractions of Λ c + → pπ − π +, Λ c + → pK−K+, and Λ c + → pπ −K+

Abstract: The ratios of the branching fractions of the decays Λ + c → pπ−π +, Λ + c → pK−K+, and Λ + c → pπ−K+ with respect to the Cabibbo-favoured Λ + c → pK−π + decay are measured using proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb experiment at a 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb−1 : B(Λ + c → pπ−π +) B(Λ + c → pK−π+) = (7.44 ± 0.08 ± 0.18)%, B(Λ + c → pK−K+) B(Λ + c → pK−π+) = (1.70 ± 0.03 ± 0.03)%, B(Λ + c → pπ−K+) B(Λ + c → pK−π+) = (0.165 ± 0.015 ± 0.005)%, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. These results are the most precise measurements of these quantities to date. When multiplied by the worldaverage value for B(Λ + c → pK−π +), the corresponding branching fractions are B(Λ + c → pπ−π +) = (4.72 ± 0.05 ± 0.11 ± 0.25) × 10−3 , B(Λ + c → pK−K+) = (1.08 ± 0.02 ± 0.02 ± 0.06) × 10−3 , B(Λ + c → pπ−K+) = (1.04 ± 0.09 ± 0.03 ± 0.05) × 10−4

Measurement of CP violation in B 0 → D ∓π± decays

Abstract: A measurement of the CP asymmetries Sf and Sf¯ in B0 → D∓π ± decays is reported. The decays are reconstructed in a dataset collected with the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb−1 . The CP asymmetries are measured to be Sf = 0.058 ± 0.020(stat) ± 0.011(syst) and Sf¯ = 0.038 ± 0.020(stat) ± 0.007(syst). These results are in agreement with, and more precise than, previous determinations. They are used to constrain angles of the unitarity triangle, |sin (2β + γ)| and γ, to intervals that are consistent with the current world-average valu

Measurement of forward top pair production in the dilepton channel in pp collisions at √s=13 TeV

Forward top quark pair production is studied in pp collisions in the µeb final state using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.93 fb−1 collected with the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The cross-section is measured in a fiducial region where both leptons have a transverse momentum greater than 20 GeV and a pseudorapidity between 2.0 and 4.5. The quadrature sum of the azimuthal separation and the difference in pseudorapidities, denoted ∆R, between the two leptons must be larger than 0.1. The b-jet axis is required to be separated from both leptons by a ∆R of 0.5, and to have a transverse momentum in excess of 20 GeV and a pseudorapidity between 2.2 and 4.2. The cross-section is measured to be σtt¯ = 126 ± 19 (stat) ± 16 (syst) ± 5 (lumi) fb where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is due to the luminosity determination. The measurement is compatible with the Standard Model prediction

First observation of B + → Ds + K + K − decays and a search for B + → Ds + ϕ decays

A search for B+ → D+ s K+K− decays is performed using pp collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.8 fb−1 , collected at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV with the LHCb experiment. A significant signal is observed for the first time and the branching fraction is determined to be B(B + → D+ s K+K−) = (7.1 ± 0.5 ± 0.6 ± 0.7) × 10−6 , where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third due to the uncertainty on the branching fraction of the normalisation mode B+ → D+ sD 0 . A search is also performed for the pure annihilation decay B+ → D+ s φ. No significant signal is observed and a limit of B(B + → D+ s φ) < 4.9 × 10−7 (4.2 × 10−7 ) is set on the branching fraction at 95% (90%) confidence level.

Search for the Lepton-Flavor-Violating Decays Bs0 →τ±μâ' and B0 →τ±μâ'

Results are reported from a search for the rare decays Bs0→τ±μâ' and B0→τ±μâ', where the τ lepton is reconstructed in the channel τ-→π-π+π-ντ. These processes are effectively forbidden in the standard model, but they can potentially occur at detectable rates in models of new physics that can induce lepton-flavor-violating decays. The search is based on a data sample corresponding to 3 fb-1 of proton-proton collisions recorded by the LHCb experiment in 2011 and 2012. The event yields observed in the signal regions for both processes are consistent with the expected standard model backgrounds. Because of the limited mass resolution arising from the undetected τ neutrino, the Bs0 and B0 signal regions are highly overlapping. Assuming no contribution from B0→τ±μâ', the upper limit B(Bs0→τ±μâ')<4.2×10-5 is obtained at 95% confidence level. If no contribution from Bs0→τ±μâ' is assumed, a limit of B(B0→τ±μâ')<1.4×10-5 is obtained at 95% confidence level. These results represent the first limit on B(Bs0→τ±μâ') and the most stringent limit on B(B0→τ±μâ')
