We study B+→π+π0π0 using 711 fb−1 of data collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e− collider. We measure an inclusive branching fraction of (19.0±1.5±1.4)×10−6 and an inclusive CP asymmetry of (9.2±6.8±0.7)%, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic, and a B+→ρ(770)+π0 branching fraction of (11.2±1.1±0.9+0.8−1.6)×10−6, where the third uncertainty is due to possible interference with B+→ρ(1450)+π0. We present the first observation of a structure around 1 GeV/c2 in the π0π0 mass spectrum, with a significance of 6.4σ, and measure a branching fraction to be (6.9±0.9±0.6)×10−6. We also report a measurement of local CP asymmetry in this structure.

Numerous studies have provided compelling evidence that the probability distribution of avalanche sizes follows a power law, and that 1/f noise is present in the stochastic dynamics of landslides. We present a theoretical explanation of these phenomena within the framework of self-organized criticality theory, proposing a discrete-time model in the form of a sandpile cellular ...

A discrete-time model is presented for the self-organization of the X/Twitter social network to the edge of a phase transition, characterized by avalanche-like propagation of information in the network. The model is based on the analogy between the critical dynamics of the X social network and sandpile cellular automata with Manna rule on the Chung-Lu ...

Superconducting properties of metallic micro- and nanowires can be entirely different from those of bulk superconductors. Of particular interest is the nonequilibrium current-induced state of a quasi-one-dimensional superconducting channel. The most interesting phenomenon here is the stepped I–V characteristic, explained by a process known as phase slip center activation. If the origin of such step-like ...

Machine learning (ML) has become a powerful tool for accelerating the development of carbon-based supercapacitors;
however, most published models assume that a single predictive framework can describe both conventional
porous carbons and hybrid carbon electrodes. Here, we test this assumption using a comprehensive
benchmark dataset and an extended literature-curated dataset enriched with synthesis- and electrolyte-related
descriptors. Three ML algorithms ...

This paper compares the ranging precision of direct time-of-flight (dToF) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) LiDAR architectures, both using a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD). Both systems operate at 1550 nm with a 50 ps pulsed laser and time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC). The dToF configuration achieved approximately 100 µm precision at 10 m, while the NLOS configuration achieved 500 µm precision for ...

Manufacturing precise quantum computers with small errors in quantum operations, long coherence times, and low power consumption is the most important challenge in modern nanoelectronics. To understand the operating modes of such calculators in detail, both the optimal arrangement of the qubit system within the structure and changes in its magnetic properties must be comprehensively ...

Measurements of the branching fraction ratio B(ϕ→μ+μ−)/B(ϕ→e+e−) with Ds+→π+ϕ and D+ → π+ϕ decays, denoted Rϕπs and Rϕπd, are presented. The analysis is performed using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb−1 of pp collision data collected with the LHCb experiment. The branching fractions are normalised with respect to the B+ → K+J/ψ(→ e+e−) and B+ → K+J/ψ(→ μ+μ−) decay modes. The combination of the results yields
Rϕπ=1.022±0.012(stat)±0.048(syst).
The result is compatible with previous measurements ...

We report the first measurement of the Q2 distribution of X(3915) produced by single-tag two-photon interactions. The decay mode used is X(3915)→J/ψω. The covered Q2 region is from 1.5 (GeV/c)2 to 10.0 (GeV/c)2. We observe 7.9±3.1(stat.)±1.5(syst.) events, where we expect 4.1±0.7 events based on the Q2=0 result from the no-tag two-photon process, extrapolated to higher Q2 region using the cc¯ model of Schuler, Berends, and van Gulik.
