Comparative Analysis of the Orphan Crispr2 Locus in 242 Enterococcus Faecalis Strains

Hullahalli, Karthik; Rodrigues, Marinelle; Schmidt, Brendan D.; Li, Xiang; Bhardwaj, Pooja; Palmer, Kelli L. (Public Library of Science, 2015-09-23)

Clustered, Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats and their associated Cas proteins (CRISPR-Cas) provide prokaryotes with a mechanism for defense against mobile genetic elements (MGEs). A CRISPR locus is a molecular ...

Dalitz Plot Analyses of B⁰ → D⁻D⁰K⁺ and B⁺ → D̅⁰D⁰K⁺ Decays

Lees, J. P.; Poireau, V.; Tisserand, V.; Grauges, E.; Palano, A.; Eigen, G.; Stugu, B.; Izen, Joseph M.; Lou, Xinchou; BaBar Collaboration (American Physical Society, 2015-03-02)

We present Dalitz plot analyses for the decays of B mesons to D⁻D⁰K⁺ and D̅⁰D⁰K⁺. We report the observation of the D*{s1} (2700)⁺ resonance in these two channels and obtain measurements of the mass M(D*{s1} (2700)⁺) = ...

Measurement of γCP in D⁰-D̅⁰ Oscillation using Quantum Correlations in e⁺e⁻ → D⁰-D̅⁰ at √s = 3.773 GeV

Ablikim, M.; Achasov, M. N.; Ai, X. C.; Albayrak, O.; Albrecht, M.; Ambrose, D. J.; Amoroso, A.; Lou, Xinchou (Elsevier, 2015-04-09)

We report a measurement of the parameter (γCP) in D⁰-D̅⁰ oscillations performed by taking advantage of quantum coherence between pairs of D⁰-D̅⁰ mesons produced in e⁺e⁻ annihilations near threshold. In this work, doubly-tagged ...

Measurement of the Branching Fractions D_s⁺ → η′Χ and D_s^+ → η′ρ⁺ in e⁺e⁻ → D_s^+D_s^-

Ablikim, M.; Achasov, M. N.; Ai, X. C.; Albayrak, O.; Albrecht, M.; Ambrose, D. J.; Amoroso, A.; Lou, Xinchou; BESII Collaboration (Elsevier B.V., 2015-11-27)

We study D_s⁺ decays to final states involving the η' with a 482 pb⁻¹ data sample collected at √s = 4.009 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. We measure the branching fractions ℬ(D_s⁺ → η'Χ) = (8.8 ± 1.8 ...

Search for a Light Higgs Resonance in Radiative Decays of the ϒ(1S) with a Charm Tag

Lees, J. P.; Poireau, V.; Tisserand, V.; Grauges, E.; Palano, A.; Eigen, G.; Stugu, B.; Izen, Joseph M.; Lou, Xinchou (American Physical Society, 2015-04-10)

A search is presented for the decay ϒ(1S)→γA⁰, A⁰→cc̅, where A⁰ is a candidate for the CP-odd Higgs boson of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model. The search is based on data collected with the BABAR detector ...

Lees, J. P.; Poireau, V.; Tisserand, V.; Grauges, E.; Palano, A.; Eigen, G.; Stugu, B.; Izen, Joseph M.; Lou, Xinchou; BaBar Collaboration (American Physical Society, 2015-04-29)

We present a search for a neutral, long-lived particle L that is produced in e⁺e⁻ collisions and decays at a significant distance from the e⁺e⁻ interaction point into various flavor combinations of two oppositely charged ...
