High-statistics beta-decay measurements at TRIUMF-ISAC and the transition from the 8pi Spectrometer to GRIFFIN

Over a 12 year period, the 8π γ-ray spectrometer at the TRIUMF-ISAC facility was a world unique device for β-decay studies. Equipped with a variety of auxiliary devices, it was used in studies of Fermi superallowed β+ emitters, and nuclear structure studies far from stability and those employing high-statistics measurements. In the present contribution, this latter use is highlighted with examples

Constraining general two Higgs doublet models by the evolution of Yukawa couplings

We analyse the constraints of the general two Higgs doublet models by evolving the Yukawa coupling constants to high energy under renormalization group. We consider the appearance of a Landau pole or large off-diagonal Yukawa couplings which cause tree level flavour changing neutral currents. Our study shows the latter condition can be used to answer how much Z 2 symmetry breaking can be allowed

Determination of low energy constants and testing chiral perturbation theory at order p⁶ (NNLO)

We present the results of a search for relations between observables that are independent of the Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order (NNLO) Low-Energy Constants (LECs). We have found some relations between observables in ππ, πK scattering and Kl4 decay which have been evaluated numerically using fit 10 in [1] for the NLO LECs. We also show some preliminary results for a

The Audio Paper as Affective Attunements : Thinking, Producing and Listening

With the recent project and publication ‘Fluid Sounds’ (2015-2016) the authors suggested a new format of academic publication named ‘Audio Papers’. The present article wish to develop the audio paper format as a reflective movement in which philosophical, aesthetic and practical attributes are considered.As suggested in Groth & Samson, 2016, the audio paper is an aesthetic academic practice wo

Eta decays at and beyond p⁴ in Chiral Perturbation Theory

An overview is given of Chiral Perturbation Theory and various applications to eta decays. In particular, the main decay η → 3π is discussed at the one-loop level, and estimates of the higher order corrections are given. The importance of p6 and higher order effects in double Dalitz and η → π0γγ decays is pointed out. In all these cases the need for new experimental results is stressed.

Factors affecting knee abduction during weight-bearing activities in individuals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

Objective: To investigate if muscle strength and muscle activation patterns are associated with increased knee abduction during two functional tasks, commonly used in rehabilitation for individuals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Laboratory. Participants: 24 women and 29 men approximately 7 months after ACLR. Main outcome measures: Iso
