Determination of $$\mathcal{C}\mathcal{P}$$ C P -violating HZZ interaction with polarised beams at the ILC by Cheng Li, Gudrid Moortgat-Pick

“…We defined the asymmetries between the signal regions with different signs of the $${\mathcal{C}\mathcal{P}}$$ C P -odd observables, and determine the $${\mathcal{C}\mathcal{P}}$$ C P -violation effect by comparing with the SM 95% CL upper bound. In this paper, we setup a scenario which assumes that the total cross-section is always fixed while $${\mathcal{C}\mathcal{P}}$$ C P -violation is varying, and such a scenario helps us to determine the intrinsic $${\mathcal{C}\mathcal{P}}$$ C P -mixing angle limit around $$|\xi _{\mathcal{C}\mathcal{P}}|\sim 0.03~{\operatorname {rad}}$$ | ξ C P | ∼ 0.03 rad with (90%, 40%) polarised electron-positron beams and 5  $$\hbox {ab}^{-1}$$ ab - 1 integrated luminosity. …”

Characteristics of the macroinvertebrate community structure and their habitat suitability conditions in the Chishui River by Xinyu Li, Long Yan, Xu Zhi, Peng Hu, Chongju Shang, Baolong Zhao

“…IntroductionAs an important tributary of the upper Yangtze River without dams, the study of the macroinvertebrate community structure and habitat suitability conditions in the Chishui River holds significant implications for water ecological conservation and restoration.MethodsIn order to explore the species composition, community characteristics and their ecological needs of macroinvertebrates in the Chishui River, 26 sampling sites were deployed in the Chishui River in this study in March (dry season), July (wet season), and November (normal season) of 2023 and performed community structure analysis.ResultsA total of 153 macroinvertebrate taxa were identified, with 62 taxa recorded in the dry season, 46 in the wet season and 115 in the normal season. …”
