Multidifferential study of identified charged hadron distributions in ZZ-tagged jets in proton-proton collisions at s=\sqrt{s}=13 TeV

Jet fragmentation functions are measured for the first time in proton-proton collisions for charged pions, kaons, and protons within jets recoiling against a $Z$ boson. The charged-hadron distributions are studied longitudinally and transversely to the jet direction for jets with transverse momentum 20 $< p_{\textrm{T}} < 100$ GeV and in the pseudorapidity range $2.5 < \eta < 4$. The data sample was collected with the LHCb experiment at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.64 fb$^{-1}$. Triple differential distributions as a function of the hadron longitudinal momentum fraction, hadron transverse momentum, and jet transverse momentum are also measured for the first time. This helps constrain transverse-momentum-dependent fragmentation functions. Differences in the shapes and magnitudes of the measured distributions for the different hadron species provide insights into the hadronization process for jets predominantly initiated by light quarks.Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2022-013.html (LHCb public pages

Study of the B−→Λc+Λˉc−K−B^{-} \to \Lambda_{c}^{+} \bar{\Lambda}_{c}^{-} K^{-} decay

The decay $B^{-} \to \Lambda_{c}^{+} \bar{\Lambda}_{c}^{-} K^{-}$ is studied in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5 $\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment. In the $\Lambda_{c}^+ K^{-}$ system, the $\Xi_{c}(2930)^{0}$ state observed at the BaBar and Belle experiments is resolved into two narrower states, $\Xi_{c}(2923)^{0}$ and $\Xi_{c}(2939)^{0}$, whose masses and widths are measured to be $$m(\Xi_{c}(2923)^{0}) = 2924.5 \pm 0.4 \pm 1.1 \,\mathrm{MeV}, \\ m(\Xi_{c}(2939)^{0}) = 2938.5 \pm 0.9 \pm 2.3 \,\mathrm{MeV}, \\ \Gamma(\Xi_{c}(2923)^{0}) = \phantom{000}4.8 \pm 0.9 \pm 1.5 \,\mathrm{MeV},\\ \Gamma(\Xi_{c}(2939)^{0}) = \phantom{00}11.0 \pm 1.9 \pm 7.5 \,\mathrm{MeV},$$ where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. The results are consistent with a previous LHCb measurement using a prompt $\Lambda_{c}^{+} K^{-}$ sample. Evidence of a new $\Xi_{c}(2880)^{0}$ state is found with a local significance of $3.8\,\sigma$, whose mass and width are measured to be $2881.8 \pm 3.1 \pm 8.5\,\mathrm{MeV}$ and $12.4 \pm 5.3 \pm 5.8 \,\mathrm{MeV}$, respectively. In addition, evidence of a new decay mode $\Xi_{c}(2790)^{0} \to \Lambda_{c}^{+} K^{-}$ is found with a significance of $3.7\,\sigma$. The relative branching fraction of $B^{-} \to \Lambda_{c}^{+} \bar{\Lambda}_{c}^{-} K^{-}$ with respect to the $B^{-} \to D^{+} D^{-} K^{-}$ decay is measured to be $2.36 \pm 0.11 \pm 0.22 \pm 0.25$, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third originates from the branching fractions of charm hadron decays.Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2022-028.html (LHCb public pages

Measurement of the ratios of branching fractions R(D∗)\mathcal{R}(D^{*}) and R(D0)\mathcal{R}(D^{0})

The ratios of branching fractions $\mathcal{R}(D^{*})\equiv\mathcal{B}(\bar{B}\to D^{*}\tau^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\tau})/\mathcal{B}(\bar{B}\to D^{*}\mu^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\mu})$ and $\mathcal{R}(D^{0})\equiv\mathcal{B}(B^{-}\to D^{0}\tau^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\tau})/\mathcal{B}(B^{-}\to D^{0}\mu^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\mu})$ are measured, assuming isospin symmetry, using a sample of proton-proton collision data corresponding to 3.0 fb${ }^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 and 2012. The tau lepton is identified in the decay mode $\tau^{-}\to\mu^{-}\nu_{\tau}\bar{\nu}_{\mu}$. The measured values are $\mathcal{R}(D^{*})=0.281\pm0.018\pm0.024$ and $\mathcal{R}(D^{0})=0.441\pm0.060\pm0.066$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The correlation between these measurements is $\rho=-0.43$. Results are consistent with the current average of these quantities and are at a combined 1.9 standard deviations from the predictions based on lepton flavor universality in the Standard Model.Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2022-039.html (LHCb public pages

Simulation de diffusion de l’hydrogène dans les polycrystaux cfc : effet de la déformation et des joints de grains

In the present work, we establish a one-way coupled crystal plasticity – hydrogen diffusion analysis and use this approach to study the hydrogen transport in artificial polycrystalline aggregates of 316L steel with different grain geometries and crystallographic orientation. The data about stress/strain fields computed at the microstructure scaleutilizing the crystal plasticity concept are transferred to the in-house diffusion code which was developed using a new numerical scheme for solving parabolic equations. In the case of initial uniform hydrogen content, the heterogeneity of the mechanical fields is shownto induce a redistribution of hydrogen in the microstructure. The effect of strain rate is clearly revealed. In the second part, hydrogen transport across grain boundaries is investigatedconsidering the specific diffusivity and segregation properties of these interfaces. Using a discrete atomic layer model, the retarding impact of grain boundaries is demonstrated on bicrystals and bamboo type membranes with and without external mechanical loading. To reproduce the effects observed in the atomistic simulations into the crystal plasticity – hydrogen diffusion model, a new physically based multi-scale method is proposed. Using this new approach we study the effect of grain boundary trapping kinetics on hydrogen diffusion and reveal a new grain boundary diffusion regime which has notbeen reported before.Une approche couplée prenant en compte l’interaction de la plasticité cristalline et de la diffusion d’hydrogène a été établie et utilisée pour étudier le transport de l’hydrogène dans les agrégats polycristallins synthétiques de l’acier 316L avec des géométries de grains and des orientations cristallographiques différentes. Les champs mécaniques calculés à l’aide du code ZeBuLoN sont transférés dans un code de diffusion développé dans le cadre de ce travail. Une nouvelle formulation associée à un nouveau schéma numérique permet un calcul qui présente une bonne convergence. Les résultats des simulations montrent la redistribution de l’hydrogène dans les polycristaux due à la présence des hétérogénéités des contraintes hydrostatiques à l’échelle intragranulaire. L’effet de la vitesse de déformation a été quantitativement obtenu. Afin d’enrichir l’approche continue, un intérêt particulier est porté sur le rôle des joints de grains. Des simulations numériques d’un modèle atomique plan par plan ont été développées et appliquées aux bicristaux et aux structures de type ”bambou”. Les effets de puits ou de barrière induits par la présence des joints de grains sont clairement démontrés dans le cas du nickel pur. Pour reproduire ces effets dans les simulations de diffusion avec le modèle continue, une approche originale de simulation”multi-échelles” de la diffusion au joint de grain a été développée, et un nouveau régime de diffusion au joint de grain a été modélisé

A new algorithm for dense ellipse packing and polygonal structures generation in context of FEM or DEM

International audienceA new constructive ellipse packing algorithm is presented. It allows to respect the imposed area, shape and spatial orientation distribution (i.e. the inertia tensor) and achieve high packing densities. The packing density decreases with increasing particles aspect ratio what is in agreement with results reported in the literature. The generated packings with complex imposed area, shape and spatial orientation distributions with densities in the range of 0.74 and 0.8 are presented. The efficiency of the algorithm is demonstrated by comparison with the Optimized Dropping and Rolling method for disk packing. Moreover, the proposed packing strategy enables to generate very easily non-equiaxed polygonal structures by using Laguerre-Voronoï tessellation of the generated disk-based ellipse packing

Advancing layer algorithm of dense ellipse packing for generating statistically equivalent polygonal structures

International audienceA new constructive algorithm, called Advancing layer algorithm, for the generation of dense ellipse packing is proposed. Compared to existing algorithms for filling a 2D domain by elliptical particles, the method allows to respect the imposed size, shape and spatial orientation distributions (i.e. the inertia tensor) and achieve high packing densities. In particular case of disk packing, the comparison with Optimized Dropping and Rolling method shows that the computational cost of the proposed methodology is lower for moderate polydispersities of particle size while achieving higher packing densities and more homogeneous placing of particles in the domain. Thanks to an approximation of each ellipse by a set of circles, polygonal structures are constructed on the base of obtained ellipse packing by Laguerre–Voronoï Tessellation method in good agreement with desired characteristics of cells (polygons)
