New results in decays
The latest results from studies of hadron decays to open charm final
states at the LHCb experiment are presented. The results include measurements
of violation and the properties of baryons.Comment: 6 page
Searches for and decays to and final states with the first observation of the decay
A search for previously unobserved decays of beauty baryons to the final
states and is reported. The
analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of
of collisions. The decay is observed for the first time with a
significance of , and a measurement is made of the asymmetry,
which is consistent with zero. No significant signals are seen for decays, decays to both
and final states, and the
decay, and upper limits
on their branching fractions are reported.Comment: 4 page
Politics done like science:Critical perspectives on psychological governance and the experimental state
There has been a growing academic recognition of the increasing significance of psychologically ? and behaviourally ? informed modes of governance in recent years in a variety of different states. We contend that this academic research has neglected one important theme, namely the growing use of experiments as a way of developing and testing novel policies. Drawing on extensive qualitative and documentary research, this paper develops critical perspectives on the impacts of the psychological sciences on public policy, and considers more broadly the changing experimental form of modern states. The tendency for emerging forms of experimental governance to be predicated on very narrow, socially disempowering, visions of experimental knowledge production is critiqued. We delineate how psychological governance and emerging forms of experimental subjectivity have the potential to enable more empowering and progressive state forms and subjectivities to emerge through more open and collective forms of experimentation.authorsversionPeer reviewe
