Notas de Población Vol.30 N° 76

El número 76 de la revista Notas de Población se inicia con el artículo de Gonçalves, Rodríguez Wong, Oya y Magno de Carvalho, que tiene como propósito mostrar en detalle la aplicación del método de proyección multirregional, para lo cual se proyecta, simultáneamente, la población por edad y sexo de las unidades federativas de Brasil para el período 2000-2020. Posteriormente, Paulo de Martino Jannuzzi, presenta un método alternativo para estimar la población económicamente activa futura, que difiere de otros métodos convencionales de proyección ya que permite incorporar explícitamente los efectos coyunturales y estructurales del mercado del trabajo sobre las tasas de actividad masculina y femenina. El artículo de Kenneth Hill analiza el desempeño de diversos métodos de medición de la mortalidad adulta aplicados a un solo país: Guatemala. Se incluyen métodos que estiman la cobertura del registro de defunción o de los decesos notificados mediante el censo, métodos de supervivencia intercensal que utilizan datos de censos sucesivos, métodos basados en la sobrevivencia de los hijos y un conjunto de métodos de sobrevivencia de los padres. Por otra parte, el estudio de Merino y Pullum analiza la forma en que los consultorios de planificación de la familia y el contexto social influyen en las decisiones relativas al uso de anticonceptivos. Para estimar los efectos contextuales en la elección de anticonceptivos que efectúan las mujeres que viven en la segunda región más grande de Chile, se utilizó un modelo estadístico de multiniveles. Por último, Ralfo Matos analiza la inserción ocupacional de los migrantes y los no migrantes, en zonas que forman parte de la red urbana de Brasil, a partir de datos empíricos obtenidos de los censos demográficos.

Inclusive J/psi production in pp collisions at root s=2.76 TeV

The ALICE Collaboration has measured inclusive J/psi production in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy root s = 2.76 TeV at the LHC. The results presented in this Letter refer to the rapidity ranges vertical bar y vertical bar < 0.9 and 2.5 < y <4 and have been obtained by measuring the electron and muon pair decay channels, respectively. The integrated luminosities for the two channels are L-int(e) = 1.1 nb(-1) and L-int(mu) = 19.9 nb(-1), and the corresponding signal statistics are N-J/psi(e+e-) = 59 +/- 14 and N-J/psi(mu+mu-) = 1364 +/- 53. We present d sigma(J/psi)/dy for the two rapidity regions under study and, for the forward-y range, d(2)sigma(J/psi)/dydp(t) in the transverse momentum domain 0 < p(t) < 8 GeV/c. The results are compared with previously published results at root s = 7 TeV and with theoretical calculations. (C) 2012 CERN. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Measurement of event background fluctuations for charged particle jet reconstruction in Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN)=2.76 TeV

The effect of event background fluctuations on charged particle jet reconstruction in Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV has been measured with the ALICE experiment. The main sources of non-statistical fluctuations are characterized based purely on experimental data with an unbiased method, as well as by using single high p(t) particles and simulated jets embedded into real Pb-Pb events and reconstructed with the anti-k(t) jet finder. The influence of a low transverse momentum cut-off on particles used in the jet reconstruction is quantified by varying the minimum track p(t) between 0.15 GeV/c and 2 GeV/c. For embedded jets reconstructed from charged particles with p(t) > 0.15 GeV/c, the uncertainty in the reconstructed jet transverse momentum due to the heavy-ion background is measured to be 11.3 GeV/c (standard deviation) for the 10% most central Pb-Pb collisions, slightly larger than the value of 11.0 GeV/c measured using the unbiased method. For a higher particle transverse momentum threshold of 2 GeV/c, which will generate a stronger bias towards hard fragmentation in the jet finding process, the standard deviation of the fluctuations in the reconstructed jet transverse momentum is reduced to 4.8-5.0 GeV/c for the 10% most central events. A non-Gaussian tail of the momentum uncertainty is observed and its impact on the reconstructed jet spectrum is evaluated for varying particle momentum thresholds, by folding the measured fluctuations with steeply falling spectra.
