Mineralogy of cold seep sediment inhabited by vesicomyid clams in the Japan Deep Sea Trench

Sediment sampling was performed at the center of the clam colony. Immediately after sample recovery onboard, the sediment core was sub-sampled and preserved for later analyses. Pyrite and carbonate content of the sediment was measured by X-ray refraction analysis as previously described (Ertefai et al., 2010).

Ex situ sulphate reduction rates of sediment at the rim of a vesicomyd clam colony in the Japan Deep Sea Trench (dive 957)

Sediment samples were collected from the rim of a large vesicomyid clam colony in the Japan Deep Sea Trench. Immediately after sample recovery onboard, the sediment core was sub-sampled for ex situ rate measurements. Sulfate reduction were measured ex situ by the whole core injection method with three replicates. We incubated the samples at in situ temperature (1.5°C) for 48 hours with carrier-free 35SO4 (dissolved in water, 50 kBq). Sediment was fixed 20 ml ZnAc solution (20%, w/v) for AOM or SR. Turnover rates were measured as previously described (Kallmeyer et al., 2004).

High resolution in situ microsensor measurements of oxygen and temperature at a vesicomyid clam colony in the Japan Deep Sea Trench

Oxygen penetration depth and temperature at the rim of the clam colony was measured with a small deep-sea microprofiler module (Treude et al., 2009), carrying 3 oxygen Clark-type microelectrodes (Revsbech et al., 1980) and one temperature sensor (Pt100, UST Umweltsensorentechnik GmbH, Germany). High-resolution microprofiles across the sediment-water interface were measured with a vertical resolution of 100 µm on a total length of 15 cm. Oxygen electrodes had a linear response to the oxygen concentration in seawater and were calibrated in situ using constant readings in the bottom water (oxygen concentration determined by Winkler titration) and the anoxic parts of the sediment.

Ex situ sulphate reduction rates of sediment at the rim of a vesicomyd clam colony in the Japan Deep Sea Trench (dive 955)

Sediment samples were collected from the rim of a large vesicomyid clam colony in the Japan Deep Sea Trench. Immediately after sample recovery onboard, the sediment core was sub-sampled for ex situ rate measurements. Sulfate reduction were measured ex situ by the whole core injection method with three replicates. We incubated the samples at in situ temperature (1.5°C) for 48 hours with carrier-free 35SO4 (dissolved in water, 50 kBq). Sediment was fixed 20 ml ZnAc solution (20%, w/v) for AOM or SR. Turnover rates were measured as previously described (Kallmeyer et al., 2004).

Ex situ sulphate reduction and methane oxidation rates of sediment at the rim of a vesicomyd clam colony in the Japan Deep Sea Trench (dive 956)

Sediment samples were collected from the rim of a large vesicomyid clam colony in the Japan Deep Sea Trench. Immediately after sample recovery onboard, the sediment core was sub-sampled for ex situ rate measurements. Sulfate reduction and anaerobic oxidation of methane were measured ex situ by the whole core injection method with three replicate measurements for each method. We incubated the samples at in situ temperature (1.5°C) for 48 hours with either 14C-methane (dissolved in water, 2.5 kBq) or carrier-free 35S-sulfate (dissolved in water, 50 kBq). Sediment was fixed in 25 ml sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution (2.5%, w/v) or 20 ml ZnAc solution (20%, w/v) for AOM or SR, respectively. Turnover rates were measured as previously described (Kallmeyer et al., 2004; Treude et al., 2003).

Procura do bóson de Higgs no canal de decaimento H → W+ W- →+ν-ν utilizando a técnica de elemento de matriz no experimento CMS do CERN

Nesta dissertação apresento as atividades que foram desenvolvidas durante o período de mestrado, que teve como objetivo o desenvolvimento da Técnica de Análise de dados através do Método de Elemento de Matriz (ME) para procura do Bóson de Higgs no experimento CMS. A proposta foi utilizar uma técnica de análise de dados relativamente nova, conhecida como Método do Elemento de Matriz (ME). Esta técnica foi desenvolvida e utilizada recentemente para aplicação na física do quark top nos experimentos D0 e CDF do Tevatron (FERMILAB). Entretanto, ainda não existem estudos envolvendo a aplicação da mesma para a física do Higgs no LHC. O método de ME foi aplicado na procura do Higgs no canal de decaimento H → W+ W- →+ν-ν, qual os estudos atuais apontam como sendo um dos canais com maior potencial de descoberta, principalmente nesta fase inicial em que a estatística ainda será muito limitada.
