ArXiv 1307.0474 (2013)
Abstract:
We present the first signature-based search for delayed photons using an exclusive photon plus missing transverse energy final state. Events are reconstructed in a data sample from the CDF II detector corresponding to $6.3 \text{fb}^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity from $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV proton-antiproton collisions. Candidate events are selected if they contain a photon with an arrival time in the detector larger than expected from a promptly-produced photon. The mean number of events from standard model sources predicted by the data-driven background model based on the photon timing distribution is $286 \pm 24$. A total of 322 events are observed. A $p$-value of 12% is obtained, showing consistency of the data with standard model predictions.Herschel-ATLAS/GAMA: The environmental density of far-infrared bright galaxies at z ≤ = 0.5
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 433:1 (2013) 771-786
Abstract:
We compare the environmental and star formation properties of far-infrared detected and non-far-infrared detected galaxies out to z ~ 0.5. Using optical spectroscopy and photometryfrom the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) and Sloan Digital Sky Survey, with farin frared observations from the Herschel Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area Survey (ATLAS)Science Demonstration Phase, we apply the technique of Voronoi tessellations to analyse the environmental densities of individual galaxies. Applying statistical analyses to colour, r-band magnitude and redshift-matched samples, we show that there is a significant differenceat the 3.5σ level between the normalized environmental densities of these two populations. This is such that infrared emission (a tracer of star formation activity) favours underden seregions compared to those inhabited by exclusively optically observed galaxies selected to beof the same r-band magnitude, colour and redshift. Thus, more highly star-forming galaxiesare found to reside in the most underdense environments, confirming previous studies thathave proposed such a correlation. However, the degeneracy between redshift and far-infraredluminosity in our flux-density-limited sample means that we are unable to make a strongerstatement in this respect. We then apply our method to synthetic light cones generated fromsemi-analytic models, finding that over the whole redshift distribution the same correlations between star formation rate and environmental density are found. © 2013 The Authors Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society.Measurement of masses in the tt̄ system by kinematic endpoints in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV
