The anomalies in rare decays endure. We present results of an updated global analysis that takes into account the latest experimental input - in particular the recent results on and BR - and that qualitatively improves the treatment of theory uncertainties. Fit results are presented for the Wilson coefficients of four-fermion contact interactions. We find that muon specific Wilson coefficients or continue to give an excellent description of the data. If only theoretically clean observables are considered, muon specific or improve over the Standard Model by and , respectively. In various new physics scenarios we provide predictions for lepton flavor universality observables and CP asymmetries that can be tested with more data. We update our previous combination of ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb data on BR and BR taking into account the full two-dimensional non-Gaussian experimental likelihoods.

Article Synopsis
  • Extended ligand conjugation improves luminescent thermometry in Dy-based single-molecule magnets (SMMs) through crystallographic, photoluminescence, and lifetime decay studies.
  • This enhancement allows for effective energy transfer from the ligands to the Dy metal centers.
  • The results show a significant excited-state lifetime of Dy(III), indicating efficient interactions due to the ligand modifications.

Effect of Ce Content on Modification Behavior of Inclusions and Corrosion Resistance of 316L Stainless Steel.

Materials (Basel)

December 2024

School of Rare Earth Industry (School of Rare Earth Engineering and Technology), Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology, Baotou 014010, China.

The changes in the inclusions in 316L stainless steel before and after Ce addition were studied by adding different contents of Ce. The effects of rare earth Ce treatment on the modification of MnS inclusions in steel and the pitting corrosion resistance of 316L stainless steel are studied by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, laser confocal microscopy, the 6% FeCl corrosion weight loss test, and Tafel polarization curve test. The results show that the addition of Ce reduces the corrosion rate of stainless steel in 6% FeCl solution, and reduces the number and size of corrosion pits.

Precise control of assembled structures of quantum dots (QDs) is crucial for realizing the desired photophysical properties, but this remains challenging. Especially, the one-dimensional (1D) control is rare due to the nearly isotropic nature of QDs. Herein, we propose a novel strategy for controlling the 1D-arrangement range of cubic perovskite QDs in solution based on the morphological modification of a supramolecular polymer (SP) template.

Lead-free halide double perovskites (DPs) have become a research hotspot in the field of photoelectrons due to their unique optical properties and flexible compositional tuning. However, the luminescence of DPs exhibits thermal quenching at high temperatures, which severely affects their further application. Herein, we synthesized the rare earth Dy and transition metal Mn codoped CsNaYCl rare earth DPs and characterized the optical properties using temperature-dependent photoluminescence spectra and time-resolved photoluminescence decay profiles at different temperatures.

The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is a detector array comprised by 988 5  cm×5  cm×5  cm TeO_{2} crystals held below 20 mK, primarily searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay in ^{130}Te. Unprecedented in size among cryogenic calorimetric experiments, CUORE provides a promising setting for the study of exotic throughgoing particles. Using the first tonne year of CUORE's exposure, we perform a search for hypothesized fractionally charged particles (FCPs), which are well-motivated by various standard model extensions and would have suppressed interactions with matter.
