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.

Multimessenger search for sources of gravitational waves and high-energy neutrinos: Initial results for LIGO-Virgo and IceCube

We report the results of a multimessenger search for coincident signals from the LIGO and Virgo gravitational-wave observatories and the partially completed IceCube high-energy neutrino detector, including periods of joint operation between 2007-2010. These include parts of the 2005-2007 run and the 2009-2010 run for LIGO-Virgo, and IceCube's observation periods with 22, 59 and 79 strings. We find no significant coincident events, and use the search results to derive upper limits on the rate of joint sources for a range of source emission parameters. For the optimistic assumption of gravitational-wave emission energy of 10(-2) M(circle dot)c(2) at similar to 150 Hz with similar to 60 ms duration, and high-energy neutrino emission of 1051 erg comparable to the isotropic gamma-ray energy of gamma-ray bursts, we limit the source rate below 1.6 x 10(-2) Mpc(-3) yr(-1). We also examine how combining information from gravitational waves and neutrinos will aid discovery in the advanced gravitational-wave detector era.

Controle de dissociação caótica de moléculas diatômicas

In this work we investigate the dissociation of heteronuclear diatomic molecules subjected to laser pulses. This phenomenon can be modeled by the classical forced Morse oscillator. This system presents a chaotic dynamics associated with the anharmonicity of the internuclear potential and with the coupling of permanent dipole of molecule with the electric field of laser. We want to verify how the dissociation probability evolves while we change the intensity and frequency of laser. We study the phase space of molecules to have a better understanding of system dynamics. We make the calculations changing two parameters of laser (intensity and frequency) and checking how this parameters influences on molecule dissociation. We compare the results of HF molecule (Fluoride acid) and CO molecule (Carbon monoxide) to check how the dipole moment of each molecule can influence on laser interaction
