Objective: To understand the use of the Child Health Handbook in Primary Care from the perspective of family health professionals and mothers.
Method: Qualitative research, grounded in Symbolic Interactionism, with 25 family health professionals and 11 mothers, in a city in Northeast Brazil. The data were collected in the months of September and October 2020, through semi-structured interviews and submitted to inductive thematic analysis.

The reconstructed final states are formed by combining D^{+} mesons with τ^{-}→μ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ}ν_{τ} candidates, where the D^{+} is reconstructed via the D^{+}→K^{-}π^{+}π^{+} decay.
