RESUMO
The elusive ß^{-}p^{+} decay was observed in ^{11}Be by directly measuring the emitted protons and their energy distribution for the first time with the prototype Active Target Time Projection Chamber in an experiment performed at ISAC-TRIUMF. The measured ß^{-}p^{+} branching ratio is orders of magnitude larger than any previous theoretical model predicted. This can be explained by the presence of a narrow resonance in ^{11}B above the proton separation energy.
RESUMO
Using Triumf's neutral atom trap, Trinat, for nuclear ß decay, we have measured the ß asymmetry with respect to the initial nuclear spin in ^{37}K to be A_{ß}=-0.5707(13)_{syst}(13)_{stat}(5)_{pol}, a 0.3% measurement. This is the best relative accuracy of any ß-asymmetry measurement in a nucleus or the neutron, and is in agreement with the standard model prediction -0.5706(7). We compare constraints on physics beyond the standard model with other ß-decay measurements, and improve the value of V_{ud} measured in this mirror nucleus by a factor of 4.
RESUMO
This report describes the corticotomy surgical technique used in conjunction with orthodontic therapy and its effect on the periodontal status of the involved teeth. The surgical procedure included intracrevicular incisions and elevation of buccal and lingual mucoperiosteal flaps. Buccal and lingual vertical grooves penetrating the cortical bone were then made between the roots. These grooves were extended from just below the interproximal alveolar bone margin to beyond the apex levels of the teeth. Buccal and lingual horizontal grooves joined the apical extensions of the vertical grooves. The orthodontic appliance was activated immediately upon wound closure. Plaque scores, probing depths, and probing attachment levels were recorded before the surgical procedure and after the completion of the orthodontic treatment in 5 patients. The results showed that the corticotomy procedure caused minimal changes in the periodontal attachment apparatus.
