Measurement of integrated luminosity of data collected at 3.773 GeV by BESIII from 2021 to 2024

We present a measurement of the integrated luminosity of e^(+)e^(-)collision data collected by the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider at a center-of-mass energy of Ecm=3.773 GeV.The integrated luminosities of the datasets taken from December 2021 to June 2022,from November 2022 to June 2023,and from October 2023 to February 2024 were determined to be 4.995±0.019 fb^(-1),8.157±0.031 fb^(-1),and 4.191±0.016 fb^(-1),respectively,by analyzing large angle Bhabha scattering events.The uncertainties are dominated by systematic effects,and the statistical uncertainties are negligible.Our results provide essential input for future analyses and precision measurements.

特发性肥厚性硬脑膜炎患者的头痛特征

Background. Idiopathic hypertrophic cranial pachymeningitis (IHCP) is an unc ommon disorder due to localized or diffuse thickening of the dura mater. While h eadache is the most common manifestation, the clinical characteristics of the he adache in IHCP have not been well characterised. Methods. From 1996 to 2002, 6 consecutive patients with IHCP presenting with headache were reviewed (3 women, 3 men; mean age: 49 years). Diagnosis was based on characteristic neuroimaging findings and the exclusion of secondary causes of cranial pachymeningitis. This study reported the headache characteristics, neuroimaging features, and longitud inal follow up. Results. Chronic daily headache, especially chronic migraine, was the most common headache pattern observed (4/6 patients). Lateralization of headache location appeared to correlate with the distribution of the hypertroph ied durai lesions. Diagnostic delay was due to failure to evaluate with gadolini um enhanced MRI. After treatment, headache (5/6, 83%) and neurologic deficits (2/3, 67%) improved in most patients; however, followup MRIs (n = 5) showed det erioration in 3 patients. Conclusion. The headache of IHCP is typically a chro nic daily headache, often resembling chronic migraine. Correspondingly, IHCP sho uld be considered in the differential diagnosis of refractory chronic daily head ache, with or without associated cranial neuropathy or other associated neurolog ic deficits. The typical imaging finding on gadolinium enhanced MRI is localise d or diffuse pachymeningitis and failure to order a gadoliniumenhanced MRI is th e primary reason for delayed diagnosis. Despite symptomatic improvement on longi tudinal follow up, the MRI abnormalities may not improve in parallel with the c linical symptoms.

Amplitude analysis of the decays D^(0)→π^(+)π^(−)π^(+)π^(−)and D^(0)→π^(+)π^(−)π^(0)π^(0)

Using e^(+)e^(−)annihilation data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.93 fb^(−1)taken at the center-of-mass energy√s=3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector,a joint amplitude analysis is performed on the decays D^(0)→π^(+)π^(−)π^(+)π^(−)and D^(0)→π^(+)π^(−)π^(0)π^(0)(non-η).The fit fractions of individual components are obtained,and large interferences among the dominant components of the decays D^(0)→a_(1)(1260)π,D^(0)→π(1300)π,D^(0)→ρ(770)ρ(770),and D^(0)→2(ππ)_(S)are observed in both channels.With the obtained amplitude model,the CP-even fractions of D^(0)→π^(+)π^(−)π^(+)π^(−)and D^(0)→π^(+)π^(−)π^(0)π^(0)(non-η)are determined to be(75.2±1.1_(stat).±1.5_(syst.))%and(68.9±1.5_(stat).±2.4_(syst.))%,respectively.The branching fractions of D^(0)→π^(+)π^(−)π^(+)π^(−)and D^(0)→π^(+)π^(−)π^(0)π^(0)(non-η)are measured to be(0.688±0.010_(stat.)±0.010_(syst.))%and(0.951±0.025_(stat.)±0.021_(syst.))%,respectively.The amplitude analysis provides an important model for the binning strategy in measuring the strong phase parameters of D^(0)→4πwhen used to determine the CKM angleγ(ϕ_(3))via the B^(−)→DK^(−)decay.

Determination of the number ofψ(3686)events taken at BESⅢ

The number ofψ(3686)events collected by the BESⅢdetector during the 2021 run period is determined to be(2259.3±11.1)×10~6 by counting inclusiveψ(3686)hadronic events.The uncertainty is systematic and the statistical uncertainty is negligible.Meanwhile,the numbers ofψ(3686)events collected during the 2009 and 2012run periods are updated to be(107.7±0.6)×10~6 and(345.4±2.6)×10~6,respectively.Both numbers are consistent with the previous measurements within one standard deviation.The total number ofψ(3686)events in the three data samples is(2712.4±14.3)×10~6.

Effect of Surface Polishing Treatment on the Fatigue Performance of Shot-Peened Ti–6Al–4V Alloy

In this study, shot peening is applied to the titanium alloy Ti–6Al–4V, and the surface treatment effect on fatigue life of shot-peened specimens under high cycle loading is investigated. The induced residual stress is measured by using the orbital hole-drilling method. Surface profilometer and optical microscopy are employed to characterize the surface roughness and morphology. The deformed microstructure layers of the shot-peened specimens are investigated by using scanning electron microscopy. Experiments reveal that the fatigue life of Ti–6Al–4V is improved by the shot peening process, and the surface pre-peening polishing. The combination of pre-and post-peening polishing treatments further improves fatigue life of Ti–6Al–4V specimens. The present work provides useful guidelines for developing more efficient shot peening strategies.
