description: A high-resolution $(p,t)$ experiment at $E_{p}$= 24 MeV was performed to populate low-spin states in the actinide nucleus ${}^{240}$Pu. The Q3D magnetic spectrograph of the Maier-Leibnitz Laboratory (MLL) in Munich (Germany) was used to identify the ejected tritons via $dE/E$ particle identification with its focal-plane detection system. Angular distributions were measured at nine different Q3D angles to assign spin and parity to the excited states based on a comparison with coupled-channels DWBA calculations. In total, 209 states have been excited in $^{240}$Pu up to an excitation energy of 3 MeV. Many previously known states have also been observed and their spin-parity assignments were confirmed. However, many of the populated states have been seen for the first time. The low-spin one-octupole phonon excitations, i.e. $K^π = 0^-,1^-,2^-,3^-$, could be observed and a new candidate for the $K = 3$ projection is proposed. Furthermore, the double-octupole or $α$-cluster structure of the $0^+_2$ state in $^{240}$Pu has been studied in more detail. It is shown that the $0^+_2$ state in $^{230}$Th has a distinctly different structure. In addition, strongly excited $1^-$ states have been observed at 1.5\,MeV and 1.8\,MeV in $^{240}$Pu. The present study suggests that similar states might be observed in $^{230}$Th. At least two different and distinct structures for $J^π = 0^+$ states are present in the actinides. These are pairing states and states with enhanced octupole correlations. We have shown that it is crucial to consider negative-parity single-particle states being admixed to some $K^π = 0^+_2$ rotational bands to understand the $α$-decay hindrance factors and enhanced $E1$-decay rates. Based on our analysis, we have identified the double-octupole or $α$-cluster $K^π = 0^+$ candidates from $^{224}$Ra to $^{240}$Pu.

description: We investigate the mechanism of spin gap formation in a two-dimensional model relevant to Mott insulators such as CaV$_4$O$_9$. From the perturbation expansion and quantum Monte Carlo calculations, the origin of the spin gap is ascribed to the four-site plaquette singlet in contrast to the dimer gap established in the generalized dimerized Heisenberg model.

description: We compare two different approaches to the treatment of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation and the introduction of time in quantum cosmology. One approach is based on the gauge-fixing procedure in theories with first-class constraints, while the other uses the Born-Oppenheimer method. We apply both to a very simple cosmological model and observe that they give similar predictions. We also discuss the problem of time in non-relativistic quantum mechanics and some questions concerning the correspondence between classical and quantum theories.

description: A mass-shift of the axion propagating in an external constant homogenious magnetic field is calculated. The contributions via an electron loop and a virtual photon are examined. It is shown that the virtual photon contribution dominates substantially over the electron-loop one. Under the conditions of the early Universe the electron-loop contribution to the massless axion mass-shift is equal to zero while the virtual photon contribution is finite and can be of order of the recent restrictions on the axion mass.

description: Using a representative national survey in the United Kingdom, we investigated public attitudes towards different low-carbon technologies (carbon capture and storage (CCS), wind and nuclear power) and the factors influencing public support. Overall, we found that respondents were far more likely to support wind energy as their preferred means of mitigating climate change. Older people and those of a higher social grade are more supportive of nuclear power, while age and social grade do not significantly affect support for wind energy. Supporters of the Conservative Party were more likely to oppose wind power. Neither attitudes towards climate change nor environmental attitudes were found to influence public support for wind power or nuclear. Trust in information from environmental groups was associated with greater support for wind energy but lower support for nuclear power. Perceived cost and objective knowledge significantly influenced public support for all three technology types, that is, higher perceived costs and the poorer objective knowledge lead to lower public support. However, self-assessed knowledge did not influence public support. Many factors, including most of the tested demographic factors, did not affect support for any of the three technologies.

description: Is the seniority structure of sovereign debt neutral for a government’s decision between defaulting and raising surpluses? In this paper, we address this question using a model of debt crises where a discretionary government endogenously chooses distortionary taxation and whether to apply an optimal haircut to bondholders. We show that when the size of senior tranches is small, a version of the Modigliani-Miller theorem holds: tranching just redistributes government revenues from junior to senior bondholders, while taxes and government borrowing costs remain unchanged. However, as senior tranches become sufficiently large, default costs on senior debt transpire into a stronger commitment to repay not only the senior tranche, but also the junior one. We show that there is a lower threshold for senior bonds above which tranching can eliminate default on both junior and senior debt, and an upper threshold beyond which the government defaults also on senior debt.

description: The radiative pion capture process in nuclei is approached by using a continuum shell-model description of the nucleus, together with a phenomenological treatment of the two particle-two hole effects. It is found that these effects play an important role to reproduce the observed experimental photon energy distribution. This distribution as well as the integrated one depends significantly on the details of the mean field potential. This makes this process interesting to investigate the nuclear structure dynamics.

Potential transition to a circular economy for plastics in developing countries: recycling plastic waste into plastic-bonded aggregate composites for construction
Creators: name: Kumi-Larbi Jnr, Alexander Nana Yaw
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: Due to inadequate recycling systems, developing countries (DCs) are major contributors to ocean plastics. Producing plastic-bonded aggregate construction composites (PBAC) is a low-cost recycling option for DCs. There is, however, limited scientific research on PBAC properties. The PhD aimed to provide an understanding of the production, properties, and competencies of PBAC and assess barriers to implementing a circular economic plastic recycling model in DCs. Using heat-mixing techniques, water sachets and bottle caps were used to bind sand and quarry dust to form the PBAC samples. The effects of the temperature, binder (PWB), and aggregate (FA) type on the PBAC properties were analysed using thermal analysis, DMA, SEM, and mechanical testing techniques. The mechanical property correlations were also established. The durability and failure mechanisms of PBAC interlocking block (PIB) units and wall panels were researched for the first time. The circular economic transition barriers were assessed using a novel contextualised assessment framework. PBACs are lightweight materials with a 1.3 to 1.8 g cm-3 density range. The maximum compressive, flexural, and splitting tensile strength of PBAC with unsieved sand were 28.4 MPa, 21.0 MPa and 5.3 MPa, respectively. The compressive strength increased to 37.1 MPa with FA particle sizes below 300μm. The optimum properties of PBAC were achieved when 65 to 75 wt.% dense graded soil was mixed into PWB with high binding capacity. The maximum storage modulus of the optimised PBAC recorded between 38 to 48℃ ranged between 1.4 to 4.5 GPa. PBAC failure was mainly due to FA-PWB matrix debonding or the pull-out and tearing of the PWB strands. The compressive strengths of the PIB walls ranged between 4.2 to 5.7 MPa, depending on the PWB type. The failure mechanisms of the PIB wall panels were similar for all variations of the PBAC, but the extent of wall damage varied.

description: Unlike the economic dispatch used in most power systems, electricity system dispatch currently used in China is an equal share approach. This form of dispatch has been criticized for its negative influence on system operations, worsening energy security, environmental sustainability and affordability problems. To contribute to on-going electricity market reform discussions, our study employs an optimization model to quantify the economic dispatch savings in the coal-fired power sector. We offer three major findings. First, the heat rates of coal generators in China in 2014 ranged from 273.91 gce/kWh to 348.38 gce/kWh units and as a result of these large differences among generators in different regions, implementing economic (merit order) dispatch will bring economic and environmental benefits. Second, we identify three major political and economic challenges, which hinder the transition from the current dispatch model, namely (i) current running hours are insufficient for cost recovery, (ii) limited cross-border trading due to electricity over-supply and local protectionism, and (iii) political economy problems from generators of different ownership types. Finally, 5.67% of coal used in power generation could be saved if economic dispatch was employed at the provincial level, the value of which equals 0.05% of Chinese GDP in 2014.
Kerr-induced optical mode splitting and Kerr-optomechanical interactions in microresonators
Creators: name: Ghalanos, George N.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: The Kerr effect is a third order nonlinear effect in optics that affects the refractive index with respect to the optical intensity of a light wave travelling through a nonlinear medium. Ultra-high-Q microresonators have the ability to induce significant third order nonlinearities, at low optical input powers. Power-dependent resonance shifts of more than 30 linewidths were measured, induced by the Kerr effect, for continuous-wave lasers in both co- and counter-propagating directions. The frequency shifts are different for lasers of different intensity, due to the nonequal contributions of self- and cross-phase modulation. This results to an effective splitting of the optical mode. A further effective splitting occurs from unequal Kerr contributions in the two counterpropagating circulating directions of the cavity, due to four-wave mixing only occurring in the co-propagating direction. Two otherwise identical counterpropagating light fields would therefore undergo different resonance shifts. The induced nonreciprocity finds applications in optical switching, memories, and logic gates, while the splitting itself affects optomechanical coupling to mechanical degrees of freedom. Controlling the pump laser’s power and detuning determines how the amplitudes and phases of the mechanical oscillation behave, measured through the generated Stokes and anti-Stokes sidebands. Better understanding of the optically-induced mechanical motion benefits research done on phonon lasers, mechanically induced rf combs, and mechanical solitons, as well as applications in which the optical field mediates phonon transfer between different mechanical modes.
Design and fabrication of a piezoelectrically driven microfluidic cell sorter
Creators: name: Merdan, Hakan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: In this thesis, a new fabrication method for a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic cell sorter chip using piezoelectric actuators is presented. Suggested device performance was simulated in COMSOL Multiphysics 5.4, and 2-dimensional (2D) hydrodynamic focusing was investigated. The deflection forces applied by the PZT (lead zirconate titanate) actuators on the main stream to sort the particles were defined in terms of incoming side flows. An optimum velocity for these deflective flows to change the trajectory of the particles moving with the main stream was established. As PZT actuators are used as the source of the deflection force, the relationship between deflective flow velocity and the displacement of the PZT discs was investigated. In the fabrication of the proposed device, a deep reactive ion etched silicon wafer was used for pattern transfer in the PDMS soft lithography process instead of commonly used SU-8 mould in the literature. Piezoelectric ceramic (PZT) discs are recessed into the PDMS layer and isolated from the actuation chambers by a thin PDMS membrane (0.36 mm thick); this facilitates assembly of a leak-free device. The actuation chambers, just under piezoelectric discs, have a low volume (9.42mm3 with 30μm height). With this approach, a small dead volume has been achieved, and the volume of sheath flow consumption is minimised. The design also facilitates insertion and removal of the PZT discs since they are not glued but recessed. In the proposed device, air-filled cavities were created near the fluid channels to minimise the acoustic interference by the PZT disc vibrations. Challenges of the suggested fabrication process, calibration of process recipes and experimental results of the fabricated device are presented. The efficiency of a coil type magnetic actuator, as an alternative to PZT actuators, is presented. Fabricated devices were tested with 10 μm polystyrene beads and 6 μm fluorescent beads with a 488 nmwavelength laser diode excitation. Simulation results were verified experimentally and 2D hydrodynamic focusing and deflection results are given. The performance of the membrane structure, which makes the device completely sealed and leak-free, allowing easy insertion and removal of the actuators, was critically assessed. Improvements for thev fabrication to make the device completely leak-free and integrated miniature detection system are presented as future work.

description: The development of international relations has led states to apply foreign laws in cross-border disputes, raising concerns about the violation of public order. Parties may manipulate support officers to avoid the original governing law, which may challenge foreign law's impact on individuals' legal status. Bahrain has addressed these conflicts through rules of attribution in personal status and financial transactions. This article explores these solutions and their impact on various forms of money, both material and moral, in the context of international conflict of laws.

description: Context. The next generation of space-borne instruments dedicated to the direct detection of exoplanets requires unprecedented levels of wavefront control precision. Coronagraphic wavefront sensing techniques for these instruments must measure both the phase and amplitude of the optical aberrations using the scientific camera as a wavefront sensor. Aims. In this paper, we develop an extension of coronagraphic phase diversity to the estimation of the complex electric field, that is, the joint estimation of phase and amplitude. Methods. We introduced the formalism for complex coronagraphic phase diversity. We have demonstrated experimentally on the Très Haute Dynamique testbed at the Observatoire de Paris that it is possible to reconstruct phase and amplitude aberrations with a subnanometric precision using coronagraphic phase diversity. Finally, we have performed the first comparison between the complex wavefront estimated using coronagraphic phase diversity (which relies on time-modulation of the speckle pattern) and the one reconstructed by the self-coherent camera (which relies on the spatial modulation of the speckle pattern). Results. We demonstrate that coronagraphic phase diversity retrieves complex wavefront with subnanometric precision with a good agreement with the reconstruction performed using the self-coherent camera. Conclusions. This result paves the way to coronagraphic phase diversity as a coronagraphic wave-front sensor candidate for very high contrast space missions.

The global fit does not appreciably change the allowed regions for the parameters obtained from effective two-neutrino fits. We discuss how measurements of the solar electron energy spectrum below 6.5 GeV in Super-Kamiokande and seasonal variations in the Super-Kamiokande, $^{71}$Ga, and BOREXINO experiments can distinguish the different solar vacuum solutions.

Homeostasis in Drosophilids: a cross-species investigation of Drosophila sleep
Creators: name: Joyce, Michaela Kate
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Sleep is a puzzling behaviour that is ubiquitous throughout the animal kingdom, and while it is implicated in many biological processes, its core function remains elusive. Although the core advantage sleep provides for an animal is still debated, it is widely accepted to be regulated by a two-step process that describes the circadian control of sleep timing, ensuring an organism’s sleep-wake cycle occurs with the passing day and night and a second homeostatic system which guarantees that animals fulfil their daily amount and quality of sleep. The circadian aspects of sleep regulation are primarily understood, but homeostasis is still a relatively mysterious process. In the last 20 years of studying sleep homeostasis in Drosophila melanogaster, a picture of the sleep circuity and theories of the underlying molecular mechanisms that produce sleep need have emerged. However, the homeostatic control of sleep is complex, with growing evidence of multiple circuits that may differentially influence the amount and quality of sleep determined by the waking environment. Understanding sleep regulation in other species of the Drosophila genus may elucidate the emergence of sleep homeostasis in the animal kingdom, utilising their evolutionary distance to compare the shared fundamental aspects of sleep. In Chapter 3 of this thesis, I employed a comparative approach in order to establish the circadian and homeostatic elements of sleep behaviour in a selection of Drosophila species, including D.melanogaster, D.simulans, D.sechellia, D.erecta, D.yakuba, D.willistoni, and D.virilis. I found a striking disparity in their neuromodulatory sleep signalling and homeostatic response to a mechanical method of sleep deprivation, while the circadian timing of sleep was broadly conserved. In Chapter 4, I investigated the underlying mechanisms of the homeostatic response using the tools available in the D.melanogaster model and elucidated that alterations in their synaptic strength dynamics may underscore the divergence in homeostasis observed.

description: With an increasing amount of information on globally important events, there is a growing demand for efficient analytics of multilingual event-centric information. Such analytics is particularly challenging due to the large amount of content, the event dynamics and the language barrier. Although memory institutions increasingly collect event-centric Web content in different languages, very little is known about the strategies of researchers who conduct analytics of such content. In this paper we present researchers' strategies for the content, method and feature selection in the context of cross-lingual event-centric analytics observed in two case studies on multilingual Wikipedia. We discuss the influence factors for these strategies, the findings enabled by the adopted methods along with the current limitations and provide recommendations for services supporting researchers in cross-lingual event-centric analytics.

description: In light of the increasing importance of distributed energy resources (DERs) in the electricity system, there is an ongoing need to understand the current status of electric power distribution across the world. This review paper compiles key information about the distribution systems in 175 countries worldwide. The findings for each country include the number, legal structure and ownership of distribution system operators, the access to electricity they provide, distribution level voltages, electric power frequency and the significance of renewable electricity generation. This study covers 99.4% of the world’s population. As of June 2018, there are around 7600 distribution system operators in these 175 countries. After reviewing today’s distribution system status, this paper also reviews the various discussions and proposals for tomorrow’s electric power distribution. The discussion covers both system operation and market platform roles as well as data management options for DSOs in the near future.

description: In this note we consider the issue of the classical equivalence of scale-invariant gravity in the Einstein and in the Jordan frames. We first consider the simplest example $f(R)=R^{2}$ and show explicitly that the equivalence breaks down when dealing with Ricci-flat solutions. We discuss the link with the fact that flat solutions in quadratic gravity have zero energy. We also consider the case of scale-invariant tensor-scalar gravity and general $f(R)$ theories. We argue that all scale-invariant gravity models have Ricci flat solutions in the Jordan frame that cannot be mapped into the Einstein frame. In particular, the Minkowski metric exists only in the Jordan frame. In this sense, the two frames are not equivalent.

Coherent two pion photoproduction on 12C

description: We develop the formalism for coherent two pion photoproduction in nuclei and perform actual calculations of cross sections for $π^-π^+$ and $π^0π^0$ photoproduction on $^{12}C$. We find that due to the isospin symmetry the cross section for $π^0π^0$ production is very small and has a maximum when the pions propagate together. However, the kinematical region where the energies and polar angles of the two $π^0$ mesons are equal and their relative azimuthal angle $ϕ=180^0$ is forbidden. Conversely in the $π^-π^+$ production the pions prefer to have a relative azimuthal angle 180$^0$ and the production of the pions propagating together is suppressed. The dominant one-body mechanism in both channels is related to the excitation of the $Δ$ isobar. Hence the reaction can serve as a source of information about $Δ$'s properties in nucleus. We have found that the reaction is sensitive to effects of the pion and $Δ$ renormalization in the nuclear medium, similar to those found in the coherent $(γ,π^0)$ reaction, but magnified because of the presence of the two pions.

Slender plants growing in dense cushions. Stems to 4 cm high, little tomentose, unbranched, equally foliate. Leaves wide-spreading, slenderly lanceolate, 3-6 mm long, apex keeled; costa 1/3 of leaf width at base, short-excurrent, toothed at apex, in cross-section with small hyalocysts at ventral side and groups of pseudo-stereids at dorsal side; alar cells coloured and inflated in conspicuous auricles, inner basal laminal cells rectangular, thin walled or slightly incrassate, narrower and hyaline towards margin, quickly becoming more incrassate and irregular distally, upper laminal cells regularly oblong, incrassate, to 45 µm long and 8 µm wide along the costa, shorter and rhomboidal along the margin. Sporophyte unknown.
Distribution: Florida, Guyana, French Guiana, SE Brazil (the Guianan collections fill a gap between the Brazilian and the Caribean distribution areas (Frahm 1991)).
Ecology: Terrestrial on exposed rocks.
Selected specimens Guyana: Kaieteur Falls, along path from guesthouse to Johnson’s View, alt. 420 m, Newton et cd. 3456 (L, US). French Guiana: Savanne Roche de Virginie, Bassin de l`Approuague, alt. 100 m, Florschütz-de Waard 6150 (L) _
Note: This species, previously considered as a variety of C. surinamensis (Frahm 1980), was later reinstated as a distinct species (Frahm 1991). It is distinguished from C. surinamensis by the equally foliate stems with wide-spreading leaves; moreover the leaves are more slenderly acuminate with a narrow, keeled apex; the alar cells are more inflated and coloured forming distinct auricles, whereas in C. surinamensis the auricles are often indistinct.

description: Proton-scattering experiments followed by the coincident spectroscopy of $γ$ rays have been performed at the Institute for Nuclear Physics of the University of Cologne to excite low-spin states in $^{112}$Sn and $^{114}$Sn, to determine their lifetimes and extract reduced transitions strengths $B(ΠL)$. The combined spectroscopy setup SONIC@HORUS has been used to detect the scattered protons and the emitted $γ$ rays of excited states in coincidence. The novel $(p,p'γ)$ DSA coincidence technique was employed to measure sub-ps nuclear level lifetimes. 74 level lifetimes $τ$ of states with $J = 0 - 6$ were determined. In addition, branching ratios were deduced which allowed the investigation of the intruder configuration in both nuclei. Here, $sd$ IBM-2 mixing calculations were added which support the coexistence of the two configurations. Furthermore, members of the expected QOC quintuplet are proposed in $^{114}$Sn for the first time. The $1^-$ candidate in $^{114}$Sn fits perfectly into the systematics observed for the other stable Sn isotopes. The $E2$ transition strengths observed for the low-spin members of the so-called intruder band support the existence of shape coexistence in $^{112,114}$Sn. The collectivity in this configuration is comparable to the one observed in the Pd nuclei, i.e. the 0p-4h nuclei. Strong mixing between the $0^+$ states of the normal and intruder configuration might be observed in $^{114}$Sn. The general existence of QOC states in $^{112,114}$Sn is supported by the observation of QOC candidates with $J \neq 1$.

Japan: Evaluating Aggressive Monetary Easing and Economic Performance

description: Japan has had an outsized influence on global monetary policy. Avoiding becoming Japan has been a powerful force for Quantitative Easing. This paper argues, that despite popular perceptions, Japanese economic performance has not been a calamity; living standards have risen consistently over time and a full-fledged deflationary spiral avoided. These outcomes render making judgements about the Bank of Japan’s (BOJ) track record challenging despite the failure to meet the inflation target. The BOJ’s conceptual evolution on monetary policy and the various measures adopted over time are analysed for a fuller assessment of the effectiveness of monetary policy in Japan. The paper discusses the nascent, but increasingly influential academic research on the limitations of QE and its collateral effects on the economy, and what that portends for future BOJ policy.

description: We consider the role of money as a means of payment, store of value and medium of exchange. I outline a number of quantitative and qualitative experiences of monetary management. Successful regimes have sprung up in a variety of surprising places, and been sustained with state (centralised) interventions. Although the link between state and money, and its standard of identity and account may be clear, particularly in earlier stages of economic development, the extent to which the state is widely felt to hold responsibility for 'sound money' is less clear in modern democracies, where there are many other public responsibilities implying ongoing trade-offs.
Missing money, missing policy and Resource Adequacy in Australia’s National Electricity Market

description: From 2012-2017 more than 5000MW of coal plant exited Australia’s National Electricity Market (NEM). The average plant exit notice period was 5.2 months. Exit at scale peaked just as imbalances in the market for natural gas emerged. Compounding matters were Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) plant entry lags due to policy discontinuity in prior periods. By 2016/17, the culmination of coal plant exit, gas market imbalances and VRE entry lags produced more than 20 Lack of Reserve events across the NEM, three blackouts including a black system event in the South Australian region. Spot and forward electricity prices rose to record levels, viz. $90-$130/MWh compared to an historic average of $42.50. In this article, the lead-up to these abnormal trading conditions are traced back to policy decisions a decade earlier in the markets for electricity, natural gas and renewable energy. Lessons for other energy markets undergoing transformation include i). transparency over lumpy plant exit decisions, ii). climate change policy stability, and iii). clear policy limits to gas export capacity vis-à-vis domestic supply.

Objective vs. Subjective Fuel Poverty and Self-Assessed Health

description: Policies towards fuel poverty often use relative or absolute measures. The effectiveness of the official indicators in identifying fuel poor households and assessing its impact on health is an emerging social policy issue. In this paper we analyse objective and perceived fuel poverty as determinants of self-assessed health in Spain. In 2014, 5.1 million of her population could not afford to heat their homes to an adequate temperature. We propose a latent class ordered probit model to analyse the influence of fuel poverty on self-reported health in a sample of 25,000 individuals in 11,000 households for the 2011-2014 period. This original approach allows us to include a ‘subjective’ measure of fuel poverty in the class membership probabilities and purge the influence of the ‘objective’ measure of fuel poverty on self-assessed health. The results show that poor housing conditions, fuel poverty, and material deprivation have a negative impact on health. Also, individuals who rate themselves as fuel poor tend to report poorer health status. The effect of objective fuel poverty on health is stronger when unobserved heterogeneity of individuals is controlled for. Since objective measures alone may not fully capture the adverse effect of fuel poverty on health, we advocate the use of approaches that allow a combination of objective and subjective measures and its application by policy-makers. Moreover, it is important that policies to tackle fuel poverty take into account the different energy vectors and the prospects of a future smart and integrated energy system.

description: We study color superconductivity in external magnetic field. We discuss the reason why the mixing angles in color-flavor locked (CFL) and two-flavor superconductivity (2SC) phases are different despite the fact that the CFL gap goes to the 2SC gap for $m_s \to \infty$. Although flavor symmetry is explicitly broken in external magnetic field, we show that all values of gaps in their coset spaces of possible solutions in the CFL phase are equivalent in external magnetic field.

description: The Cabibbo-suppressed non-leptonic decays of B (and D) mesons to final states involving tensor mesons are computed using the non-relativistic quark model of Isgur-Scora-Grinstein-Wise with the factorization hypothesis. We find that some of these B decay modes, as B --> (K^*, D^*)D^*_2, can have branching ratios as large as 6 x 10^{-5} which seems to be at the reach of future B factories.
