Abstract:

Centrifugal barrel polishing (CBP) is a simple and environmentally friendly method that can be applied for mechanical abrasion of the cavity interior in order to remove the mechanically damaged surface after its production. The CBP recipes described in the literature, however, require CBP to be performed in many stages, require long processing times and nevertheless are unable to provide good cavity RF performance without additional chemical processing. Here, we report new results on characterization of cavity surfaces treated with a typical CBP recipe, including the contamination with abrasive particles, plastic deformation and hydrogen contamination, and critically evaluate it. Methods to reduce the depth of significant plastic deformation as well as the modified commercially viable CBP procedure followed by final electropolishing are proposed and tested on samples.

Abstract:

Isolated photons with high transverse energy have been studied in deep inelastic ep scattering with the ZEUS detector at HERA, using an integrated luminosity of 326 pb−1 in the range of exchanged-photon virtuality 10-350 GeV2. Outgoing isolated photons with transverse energy 4 ≺ E T γ  ≺ 15 GeV and pseudorapidity − 0.7 ≺ η γ  ≺ 0.9 were measured with accompanying jets having transverse energy and pseudorapidity 2.5≺ E T jet ≺ 35 GeV and −1.5 ≺ ηjet ≺ 1.8, respectively. Differential cross sections are presented for the following variables: the fraction of the incoming photon energy and momentum that is transferred to the outgoing photon and the leading jet; the fraction of the incoming proton energy transferred to the photon and leading jet; the differences in azimuthal angle and pseudorapidity between the outgoing photon and the leading jet and between the outgoing photon and the scattered electron. Comparisons are made with theoretical predictions: a leading-logarithm Monte Carlo simulation, a next-to-leading-order QCD prediction, and a prediction using the k T -factorisation approach.

Abstract:

© CERN, for the benefit of the ATLAS-CMS Collaboration. This paper presents combinations of inclusive and differential measurements of the charge asymmetry (AC) in top quark pair (tt) events with a lepton+jets signature by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations, using data from LHC proton-proton collisions at centreof- mass energies of 7 and 8TeV. The data correspond to integrated luminosities of about 5 and 20 fb–1for each experiment, respectively. The resulting combined LHC measurements of the inclusive charge asymmetry are ACLHC7= 0:005±0:007 (stat) ±0:006 (syst) at 7TeV and ACLHC7= 0:0055 ± 0:0023 (stat) ± 0:0025 (syst) at 8TeV. These values, as well as the combination of ACmeasurements as a function of the invariant mass of the [formula presented] system at 8TeV, are consistent with the respective standard model predictions.
