Two candidate events pass our final selection criteria, consistent with the standard model expectation. We set upper limits on the cross section σ(t1t1) × β 2 as a function of the stop mass m(t1). Assuming β = 1, we set a 95% confidence level limit m(t1) > 153 GeV/c 2 . The limits are also applicable to the case of a third generation scalar leptoquark (LQ3) decaying LQ3 → τ b.

These data, of integrated luminosity 86 pbÿ1, were recorded by the CDF Experiment for pp collisions at sp

This measurement covers the kinematic range pT J=> 4: 0 GeV= c, j J=< 1: 0, and pT> 1: 0 GeV= c. For events due to prompt processes, we find Rp 0: 395 0: 016 stat 0: 015 syst. This result represents a significant improvement in precision over previous measurements of prompt c1; 2 hadro production.

In addition to providing a precision test of the gauge structure of the electroweak sector of the SM, measurements of the properties of gauge bosons shed light on the properties of the still undiscovered Higgs boson and provide constraints on new physics ...

It develops as a consequence of a mutation in the LDLR gene. Patients suffer extremely high LDL and VLDL cholesterol values, dying from coronary compromise at early ages. As cholesterol synthesis is an hepatic process, and as there is a lack of gene therapy, hepatic transplantation is the only therapeutic option in cases refractory to medical treatment. In this report, we have described the first case of combined cardiohepatic transplantation in Argentina, which was performed in a male patient with severe aortic stenosis and terminal ischemic cardiopathy secondary to severe familial hypercholesteremia type II.
