A search is presented for pair production of long-lived neutral particles using 33 fb-1 of s=13 TeV proton-proton collision data, collected during 2016 by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. This search focuses on a topology in which one long-lived particle decays in the ATLAS inner detector and the other decays in the muon spectrometer. Special techniques are employed to reconstruct the displaced trac

BACKGROUND: The rate of cognitive decline in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is variable, which may be partly due to genetic factors. We therefore investigated genetic predictors of longitudinal cognitive decline in AD. METHOD: In the Swedish BioFINDER study, we used polygenic scores (PGS) (of AD, intelligence and educational attainment), and genetic variants (in a genome-wide associa

This paper presents measurements of the W+→ μ+ν and W-→ μ-ν cross-sections and the associated charge asymmetry as a function of the absolute pseudorapidity of the decay muon. The data were collected in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC and correspond to a total integrated luminosity of 20.2fb-1. The precision of the cross-section meas

Forests are key components of European multifunctional landscapes and supply numerous forest ecosystem services (FES) fundamental to human well-being. The sustainable provision of FES has the potential to provide responses to major societal challenges, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, or rural development. To identify suitable strategies for the future sustenance of FES, we performed a s

Evidence for electroweak production of two jets in association with a Zγ pair in s=13 TeV proton–proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider is presented. The analysis uses data collected by the ATLAS detector in 2015 and 2016 that corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 36.1fb−1. Events that contain a Z boson candidate decaying leptonically into either e+e− or μ+μ−, a photon, and two jets a

BACKGROUND: Relationship between genetic factors and pathological features of Alzheimer's disease (AD) may be studied with biomarker, using both polygenic risk scores (PRSs), as well as individual genetic variants in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). METHOD: In the Swedish BioFINDER study, we used a priori PRS for AD based on findings in recent GWAS, and AD related biomarkers in cerebrospina

The transverse momentum (pT) differential yields of (anti-)He3 and (anti-)H3 measured in p-Pb collisions at sNN = 5.02 TeV with ALICE at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are presented. The ratios of the pT-integrated yields of (anti-)He3 and (anti-)H3 to the proton yields are reported, as well as the pT dependence of the coalescence parameters B3 for (anti-)He3 and (anti-)H3. For (anti-)He3, the re

Jet substructure quantities are measured using jets groomed with the soft-drop grooming procedure in dijet events from 32.9 fb-1 of pp collisions collected with the ATLAS detector at s=13 TeV. These observables are sensitive to a wide range of QCD phenomena. Some observables, such as the jet mass and opening angle between the two subjets which pass the soft-drop condition, can be described by a hi

Joacim Rocklövs angrepp på rapporten som jag och två medarbetare har publicerat som visar att nedstängningarna inte har haft nämnvärd effekt på dödligheten i corona, är okunnigt, alldeles för snävt och missvisande, skriver Lars Jonung, professor emeritus i nationalekonomi.

This paper describes a strategy for a general search used by the ATLAS Collaboration to find potential indications of new physics. Events are classified according to their final state into many event classes. For each event class an automated search algorithm tests whether the data are compatible with the Monte Carlo simulated expectation in several distributions sensitive to the effects of new ph

Syftet med hemsidan är att presentera vetenskapliga artiklar inom miljö- och hållbarhetsforskning genom ett samspel mellan musik och text. Vi hoppas på detta sätt att kunna tillgängliggöra dessa fakta och frågeställningar för en bredare publik. På ett okonventionellt och nyskapande vis, genom att kombinera musik och illustrationer/recitation, vill vi föra ut budskapet om, och öka intresset för, hu

Objectives: Rituximab (RTX) is an anti-CD20 antibody that selectively depletes B cells and has emerged as a therapy for ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) during the past decade. This study sought to quantify and determine potential risk factors for severe infections in AAV patients treated with RTX at rheumatology clinics in Mexico City, Mexico and Lund, Sweden. Methods: The study consisted of a re

This chapter explores how diffent approaches to the concept of legitimacy are reflected in the different understandings of law endorsed by legal positivism, legal idealism and legal realism.

Frontotemporal dementia type 3 (FTD3), caused by a point mutation in the charged multivesicular body protein 2B (CHMP2B), affects mitochondrial ultrastructure and the endolysosomal pathway in neurons. To dissect the astrocyte-specific impact of mutant CHMP2B expression, we generated astrocytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and confirmed our findings in CHMP2B mutant mice. Our

A search is performed for a long-lived particle decaying into a final state that includes a pair of muons of opposite-sign electric charge, using proton-proton collision data collected at s=13 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 32.9 fb-1. No significant excess over the Standard Model expectation is observed. Limits at 95% confidence

BACKGROUND: In patients with AD, CSF Aβ42 is reduced while Aβ40 remains unchanged. It has been suggested that altered CSF Aβ42 is due to aggregation of this peptide into insoluble plaques, resulting in less soluble Aβ42 available for secretion to the CSF. However, the relations between soluble and insoluble Aβ42 and Aβ40 in the brain and the concentrations of these Aβ peptides in CSF are not well

A search for heavy neutral Higgs bosons is performed using the LHC Run 2 data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb-1 of proton-proton collisions at s=13 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector. The search for heavy resonances is performed over the mass range 0.2-2.5 TeV for the τ+τ-decay with at least one τ-lepton decaying into final states with hadrons. The data are in good agreement

A search for heavy neutral Higgs bosons produced in association with one or two b-quarks and decaying to b-quark pairs is presented using 27.8 fb-1 of s=13 TeV proton-proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider during 2015 and 2016. No evidence of a signal is found. Upper limits on the heavy neutral Higgs boson production cross section times its branching rati

BACKGROUND: Prior to COVID-19, >90% of caregivers of people with brain health challenges (dementia, mental ill health, intellectual disability) experienced high levels of distress, burden, loneliness and social isolation. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased these impacts, particularly since these caregivers are often older and physically vulnerable themselves. The aim of this cross-s
