We report the first observation of chi(c2) production in B meson decays. We find an inclusive B-->chi(c2)X branching fraction of (1.80(+0.23)(-0.28)+/-0.26) x 10(-3). The data set, collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e(+)e(-) collider, consists of 31.9 x 10(6) BB events. We also present branching fractions and momentum spectra for both chi(c1) and chi(c2) production.

To maintain the physiological dynamics of the mitral annulus, mitral annuloplasty rings (MAR) must be flexible. Enhanced flexibility implies decreased resistance to fatigue and potential for fatigue fracture. This study established new methods to test the flexible fatigue life of MAR in-vitro using numerical analysis; the purpose is that the fatigue test could reflect the real stress distribution in-vivo.

The goose is one of the most important waterfowl, having lowing laying rate. Previous studies have shown the SNPs in the introns of MAGI-1 (Record-106975) and ACSF2 (Record-106582) significantly associated with egg production in geese. However, the mechanism of those SNPs influencing egg production remains unclear.

A global analysis of ATLAS and CMS measurements reveals that, at mid-rapidity, the directly-produced , and J/ mesons have differential cross sections of seemingly identical shapes, when presented as a function of the mass-rescaled transverse momentum, . This identity of kinematic behaviours among S- and P-wave quarkonia is certainly not a natural expectation of non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD), where each quarkonium state is supposed to reflect a specific family of elementary production processes, of significantly different -differential cross sections. Remarkably, accurate kinematic cancellations among the various NRQCD terms (colour singlets and octets) of its factorization expansion can lead to a surprisingly good description of the data.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines charmonium states produced from decays of B-hadrons using collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at 7 and 8 TeV energies.
- It determines branching fractions for specific decays, establishes upper limits for certain charmonium states, and measures differential cross-sections related to their transverse momentum.
- The research also reports a first-time measurement of the branching fraction for a specific decay and finds no evidence for intermediate resonances, with observed preferential transverse polarization of the produced charmonium states.

Prompt χc production at hadron colliders may provide a unique test for the color-octet mechanism in nonrelativistic QCD. We present an analysis for the polarization observables of χc1 and χc2 at next-to-leading order in αS and propose to measure them at the LHC, which is expected to be important for testing the validity of nonrelativistic QCD.
