Measurement of the isospin asymmetry in B → K (*)μ +μ - decays

The isospin asymmetries of B → K (*)μ +μ - decays and the partial branching fractions of B 0 → K 0μ +μ - and B +→ K *+μ +μ - are measured as a function of the di-muon mass squared q 2 using an integrated luminosity of 1.0fb -1 collected with the LHCb detector. The B → Kμ +μ - isospin asymmetry integrated over q 2 is negative, deviating from zero with over 4 σ significance. The B → K *μ +μ - decay measurements are consistent with the Standard Model prediction of negligible isospin asymmetry. The observation of the decay B 0 → K s 0μ +μ - is reported with 5.7 σ significance. Assuming that the branching fraction of B 0 → K 0μ +μ - is twice that of B 0 → K s 0μ +μ -, the branching fractions of B 0 → K 0μ +μ - and B → K *+μ +μ - are found to be (0.31 +0.07 -0.06) × 10 -6 and (1.16 ±0.19) × 10 -6, respectively.

Abstract: The isospin asymmetries of B → K (*)μ +μ - decays and the partial branching fractions of B 0 → K 0μ +μ - and B +→ K *+μ +μ - are measured as a function of the di-muon mass squared q 2 using an integrated luminosity of 1.0fb -1 collected with the LHCb detector. The B → Kμ +μ - isospin asymmetry integrated over q 2 is negative, deviating from zero with over 4 σ significance. The B → K *μ +μ - decay measurements are consistent with the Standard Model prediction of negligible isospin asymmetry. The observation of the decay B 0 → K s 0μ +μ - is reported with 5.7 σ significance. Assuming that the branching fraction of B 0 → K 0μ +μ - is twice that of B 0 → K s 0μ +μ -, the branching fractions of B 0 → K 0μ +μ - and B → K *+μ +μ - are found to be (0.31 +0.07 -0.06) × 10 -6 and (1.16 ±0.19) × 10 -6, respectively.

Search for Hidden-Sector Bosons in B-0 -> K*(0)mu(+)mu(-) Decays

A search is presented for hidden-sector bosons, χ, produced in the decay B0 → K ð892Þ0χ, with K ð892Þ0 → Kþπ− and χ → μþμ−. The search is performed using pp-collision data corresponding to 3.0 fb−1 collected with the LHCb detector. No significant signal is observed in the accessible mass range 214 ≤ mðχÞ ≤ 4350 MeV, and upper limits are placed on the branching fraction product B(B0 → K ð892Þ0χ) × Bðχ → μþμ−Þ as a function of the mass and lifetime of the χ boson. These limits are of the order of 10−9 for χ lifetimes less than 100 ps over most of the mðχÞ range, and place the most stringent constraints to date on many theories that predict the existence of additional low-mass bosons.

Biomass estimation of Sonneratia caseolaris (l.) Engler at a coastal area of Hai Phong city (Vietnam) using ALOS-2 PALSAR imagery and GIS-based multi-layer perceptron neural networks

This study tested the use of machine learning techniques for the estimation of above-ground biomass (AGB) of Sonneratia caseolaris in a coastal area of Hai Phong city, Vietnam. We employed a GIS database and multi-layer perceptron neural networks (MLPNN) to build and verify an AGB model, drawing upon data from a survey of 1508 mangrove trees in 18 sampling plots and ALOS-2 PALSAR imagery. We assessed the model’s performance using root-mean-square error, mean absolute error, coefficient of determination (R2), and leave-one-out cross-validation. We also compared the model’s usability with four machine learning techniques: support vector regression, radial basis function neural networks, Gaussian process, and random forest. The MLPNN model performed well and outperformed the machine learning techniques. The MLPNN model-estimated AGB ranged between 2.78 and 298.95 Mg ha−1 (average = 55.8 Mg ha−1); below-ground biomass ranged between 4.06 and 436.47 Mg ha−1 (average = 81.47 M...
