Development of social networks of scientists in the World Wide Web creates new schemes for wider awareness of the global scientists’ community of scientific research findings. In this case, existing information technologies are facing difficulties in resolving contradictions, generated by a broad stream of scientific publications and complexity of access to these publications. Resolution of this controversy is carried out thanks to "digitalization" of scientific content, which predetermines possibility of implementation of new principles for information disseminating, such as SMM (Social Media Marketing).To substantiate and assess SMM, we accepted the hypothesis about possibility of phenomenological presentation of lifecycle of scientific publications with the states of readers’ community: S1 – unawareness; S2 –awareness; S3 – positive attitude; S4 – citation; S5 – negative attitude. In view of these states, the model of publication lifecycle based on a Markov chain was constructed. It was proposed to use SMM principles from professional marketing agencies in relation to promotion of scientific content on the Internet. A distinctive feature of this approach is that proposed Markov chain is adjusted to different possible states of reader’s community on assessment of publication by establishing the values of transition probabilities, which are chosen for particular states based on the expert evaluation.We investigated the influence of expansion of readers’ audience, provision of presentation clarity, articles uniqueness, professional orientation, and data objectivity on the distribution of publication readership. Effectiveness of publications promotion with an active authors’ participation to follow up on their publications in social scientific networks was shown. Выполнен анализ принципов SMM (Social Media Marketing) на применимость для продвижения научного контента.

Study of forward Z + jet production in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV

A measurement of the $Z(\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-)$+jet production cross-section in $pp$ collisions at a centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV is presented. The analysis is based on an integrated luminosity of $1.0\,\text{fb}^{-1}$ recorded by the LHCb experiment. Results are shown with two jet transverse momentum thresholds, 10 and 20 GeV, for both the overall cross-section within the fiducial volume, and for six differential cross-section measurements. The fiducial volume requires that both the jet and the muons from the Z boson decay are produced in the forward direction ($2.0<\eta<4.5$). The results show good agreement with theoretical predictions at the second-order expansion in the coupling of the strong interaction.A measurement of the $Z(\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-)$+jet production cross-section in $pp$ collisions at a centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV is presented.

A study of CP violation in B-+/- -&gt; DK +/- and B-+/- -&gt; D pi(+/-) decays with D -&gt; (KSK +/-)-K-0 pi(-/+) final states

A first study of CP violation in the decay modes $B^\pm\to [K^0_{\rm S} K^\pm \pi^\mp]_D h^\pm$ and $B^\pm\to [K^0_{\rm S} K^\mp \pi^\pm]_D h^\pm$, where $h$ labels a $K$ or $\pi$ meson and $D$ labels a $D^0$ or $\overline{D}^0$ meson, is performed. The analysis uses the LHCb data set collected in $pp$ collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$. The analysis is sensitive to the CP-violating CKM phase $\gamma$ through seven observables: one charge asymmetry in each of the four modes and three ratios of the charge-integrated yields. The results are consistent with measurements of $\gamma$ using other decay modes

Measurement of Upsilon production in collisions at root s=2.76 TeV

The production of $\Upsilon(1S)$, $\Upsilon(2S)$ and $\Upsilon(3S)$ mesons decaying into the dimuon final state is studied with the LHCb detector using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.3 $pb^{-1}$ collected in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=2.76$ TeV. The differential production cross-sections times dimuon branching fractions are measured as functions of the $\Upsilon$ transverse momentum and rapidity, over the ranges $p_{\rm T} Upsilon(1S) X) x B(Upsilon(1S) -> mu+mu-) = 1.111 +/- 0.043 +/- 0.044 nb, sigma(pp -> Upsilon(2S) X) x B(Upsilon(2S) -> mu+mu-) = 0.264 +/- 0.023 +/- 0.011 nb, sigma(pp -> Upsilon(3S) X) x B(Upsilon(3S) -> mu+mu-) = 0.159 +/- 0.020 +/- 0.007 nb, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic

Measurement of forward W→eνW\to e\nu production in pppp collisions at s=8 \sqrt{s}=8\,TeV

A measurement of the cross-section for $W \to e\nu$ production in $pp$ collisions is presented using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $2\,$fb$^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=8\,$TeV. The electrons are required to have more than $20\,$GeV of transverse momentum and to lie between 2.00 and 4.25 in pseudorapidity. The inclusive $W$ production cross-sections, where the $W$ decays to $e\nu$, are measured to be \begin{align*} \begin{split} \sigma_{W^{+} \to e^{+}\nu_{e}}&=1124.4\pm 2.1\pm 21.5\pm 11.2\pm 13.0\,\mathrm{pb},\\ \sigma_{W^{-} \to e^{-}\bar{\nu}_{e}}&=\,\,\,809.0\pm 1.9\pm 18.1\pm\,\,\,7.0\pm \phantom{0}9.4\,\mathrm{pb}, \end{split} \end{align*} where the first uncertainties are statistical, the second are systematic, the third are due to the knowledge of the LHC beam energy and the fourth are due to the luminosity determination. Differential cross-sections as a function of the electron pseudorapidity are measured. The $W^{+}/W^{-}$ cross-section ratio and production charge asymmetry are also reported. Results are compared with theoretical predictions at next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative quantum chromodynamics. Finally, in a precise test of lepton universality, the ratio of $W$ boson branching fractions is determined to be \begin{align*} \begin{split} \mathcal{B}(W \to e\nu)/\mathcal{B}(W \to \mu\nu)=1.020\pm 0.002\pm 0.019, \end{split} \end{align*} where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic.A measurement of the cross-section for $W \to e\nu$ production in $pp$ collisions is presented using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $2\,$fb$^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=8\,$TeV.

Etude des désintégrations radiatives du méson B^0_s et du système de détection des radiations avec détecteur LHCb

Le travail présenté a été accompli dans le cadre de l'expérience LHCb. La thèse comporte deux parties : le développement et la mise en route du Radiation Monitoring System (RMS) et l'étude des performances attendues pour la mesure de la désintégration radiative Bs-> g. Une surveillance en ligne du bruit de fond lié à l accélérateur est indispensable pour la sécurité du détecteur et pour collecter des données de bonne qualité pour la physique. La technologie dite Métal Foil Detector a été choisie pour la surveillance en ligne de la radiation. Son temps de réponse est rapide, elle est sensible dans la plage de radiation correspondant aux conditions nominales de fonctionnement pour LHCb, elle est robuste et la quantité de matière qu'elle ajoute reste modérée. Le système de lecture et son intégration dans l architecture de LHC ont été menés à bien. Les résultats obtenus avec le RMS sont en accord avec ceux d'autres systèmes de mesure de bruit de fond et ont montré que le RMS était sensible aux collisions pp et capable de détecter des augmentations inattendues dans le taux de radiation. La deuxième partie de la thèse est consacrée à l étude des performances attendues pour la mesure de la désintégration radiative Bs-> g. L'optimisation des critères de sélection a été effectuée avec une simulation Monte-Carlo complète du détecteur. La simulation des événements de signal a été complétée par celle des principaux bruits de fond. Dans les conditions nominales de fonctionnement, on attend pour un an environ 9000 candidats Bs-> g enregistrés, reconstruits et sélectionnés. Le niveau de bruit de fond attendu est estimé à B/S g. The online monitoring of the background related to the accelerator is mandatory for the safety of the detector and for high quality data taking. The Metal Foil Detector technology was chosen for the radiation online monitoring. It is characterized by a fast time response and is sensitive to irradiation range corresponding to the conditions expected for nominal LHCb operation. It is robust and yields a moderate amount of material. The readout system and its integration in the LHC architecture have been realized. The results obtained with the RMS are in agreement with those from other systems that measure accelerator backgrounds. It has been shown that the RMS is sensitive to the pp collisions and is able to detect unexpected increase in the radiation rate. The second part of the thesis is dedicated to the study of the expected performances for the measurement of the radiative decay Bs-> g. The selection criteria optimization has been realized with a full Monte Carlo simulation of the detector. The signal events simulation has been complemented by the detailed background studies. In nominal operation conditions, about 9000 signal events are expected to be recorded, reconstructed and selected. The background level is estimated to be B/S < 2.9@90% CL.ORSAY-PARIS 11-BU Sciences (914712101) / SudocSudocFranceF
