Search for jet extinction in the inclusive jet-p(T) spectrum from proton-proton collisions at root s=8 TeV

The first search at the LHC for the extinction of QCD jet production is presented, using data collected with the CMS detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 10.7 fb-1 of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The extinction model studied in this analysis is motivated by the search for signatures of strong gravity at the TeV scale (terascale gravity) and assumes the existence of string couplings in the strong-coupling limit. In this limit, the string model predicts the suppression of all high-transverse-momentum standard model processes, including jet production, beyond a certain energy scale. To test this prediction, the measured transverse-momentum spectrum is compared to the theoretical prediction of the standard model. No significant deficit of events is found at high transverse momentum. A 95% confidence level lower limit of 3.3 TeV is set on the extinction mass scale.

Deformación del área de corte de las limas endodónticas sometidas a diferentes métodos de precurvatura

Objetive: Evaluate the deformations caused in the cutting edges in the K-file #25 (LK), subjected to pre-beinding of the apcial third using the following methods: finder-bending, cotton-pliers bendin and Flexobend, observed under scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Material and methods: Forty-eight LK#25 were divides into 4 groups (n=12); G1, control; G2, finger-bending; G3, cotton-plier bending, G4, Flexobend. The curvature was standardized in the apical segment of the file at 2 mm of D!. Was constructed a model of acrylic resin that correspond to a canal of 20º of curvature. The files were examined under SEM (260X). Data were analyzed using Fisher´s statistical test with a significance level of 5%. Results: The images showed no alterations in the LK, similar to G3, with no statistical difference. G3 and G4 were statistically different form the other groups (p<0.05). Conclusions: the finger-bending method to curve apical third of LK #25 did not alter the cutting edges, the cotton-pliers bending and Flexobend did alter the cutting edges of the files (AU)
