Measurement of strong phase in $D^0{}\to Kπ$ decay at BESIII

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Based on 2.92 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected with the BESIII detector at $\sqrt{s}$ = 3.773 GeV, we measured the asymmetry $\mathcal{A}_{CP\to Kπ}$ of the branching fractions of $D^{CP\pm}\to K^-π^+$ ($D^{CP\pm}$ are the $CP$-odd and $CP$-even eigenstates) to be $(12.77\pm1.31^{+0.33}_{-0.31})\%$. $\mathcal{A}_{CP\to Kπ}$ is used to extract the strong phase difference $δ_{Kπ}$ between the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed process $\overline{D}{}^{0}\to K^- π^+$ and Cabibbo-favored $D^0\to K^- π^+$. By taking inputs of other parameters in world measurements, we obtain $\cosδ_{Kπ} = 1.03\pm0.12\pm0.04\pm0.01$. This is the most accurate result of $\cosδ_{Kπ}$ to date and can improve the world constrains on the mixing parameters and on $γ/ϕ_3$ in the CKM matrix.

description: Using the Polchinski-Strominger effective string theory in covariant gauge, we compute the mass of a rotating string in D dimensions with large angular momenta J, in one or two planes, in fixed ratio, up to and including first subleading order in the large J expansion. This constitutes a first-principles calculation of the value for the order $J^0$ contribution to the mass-squared of a meson on the leading Regge trajectory in planar QCD with bosonic quarks. For open strings with Neumann boundary conditions, and for closed strings in $D\geq 5$, the order $J^0$ term in the mass-squared is exactly calculated by the semiclassical approximation. This term in the expansion is universal and independent of the details of the theory, assuming only D-dimensional Poincare invariance and the absence of other infinite-range excitations on the string worldvolume, beyond the Nambu-Goldstone bosons.

description: On the torus of dimension $2$, $3$, or $4$, we show that the subset of diffeomorphisms with trivial centralizer in the $C^1$ topology has nonempty interior. We do this by developing two approaches, the fixed point and the odd prime periodic point, to obtain trivial centralizer for an open neighbourhood of Anosov diffeomorphisms arbitrarily near certain irreducible hyperbolic toral automorphism.

description: Intriguing work on observations of 4.83 GHz formaldehyde (H2CO) absorptions and 4.87 GHz H110a radio recombination lines (RRLs) towards 6.7 GHz methanol (CH3OH) maser sources is presented. Methanol masers provide ideal sites to probe the earliest stages of massive star formation, while 4.8 GHz formaldehyde absorptions are accurate probes of physical conditions in dense $(10^{3} - 10^{5} cm^{-3})$ and low temperature molecular clouds towards massive star forming regions. The work is aimed at studying feature similarities between the formaldehyde absorptions and the methanol masers so as to expand knowledge of events and physical conditions in massive star forming regions. A total of 176 methanol maser sources were observed for formaldehyde absorptions, and formaldehyde absorptions were detected 138 of them. 53 of the formaldehyde absorptions were newly detected. We noted a poor correlation between the methanol and formaldehyde intensities, an indication that the signals (though arise from about the same regions) are enhanced by different mechanisms. Our results show higher detection rates of the formaldehyde lines for sources with stronger methanol signals. The strongest formaldehyde absorptions were associated with IRAS sources and IRDCs that have developed HII regions, and that do not have EGOs.

description: We present families of beating dark-dark solitons in spin-orbit (SO) coupled Bose-Einstein condensates. These families consist of solitons residing simultaneously in the two bands of the energy spectrum. The soliton components are characterized by two different spatial and temporal scales, which are identified by a multiscale expansion method. The solitons are "beating" ones, as they perform density oscillations with a characteristic frequency, relevant to Zitterbewegung (ZB). We find that spin oscillations may occur, depending on the parity of each soliton branch, which consequently lead to ZB oscillations of the beating dark solitons. Analytical results are corroborated by numerical simulations, illustrating the robustness of the solitons.

Stripe order in superfluid 3He confined in narrow cylinders

description: We theoretically investigate pairing states of the spin-triplet p-wave superfluid 3He confined in narrow cylinders. The surface-induced distortion and the multiple internal degrees of freedom of the order parameter lead to the occurrence of a stripe structure along the cylinder axis in the superfluid 3He-B phase. We show that in sufficiently small cylinders with an anisotropic surface scattering, the stripe order with broken translational symmetry may be stabilized as the lowest energy state. Periodic spin-current textures caused in this inhomogeneous superfluid phase are also discussed.

description: We derived the critical neighborhood demand in the Schelling's segregation model by studying the conditions for which a chain reaction of migrations of unsatisfied agents occurs. The essence of Schelling dynamics was approximated in two simplified models: (1) a random walk model for the initial stage of the migrations to illustrate the power-law behavior of chain reaction lengths under critical conditions, and (2) a two-room model for the whole process to represent a non-spatial version of segregation dynamics in the Schelling model. Our theoretical results showed good agreements with numerical results obtained from agent-based simulations.

description: Improving the throughput of molecular docking, a computationally intensive phase of the virtual screening process, is a highly sought area of research since it has a significant weight in the drug designing process. With such improvements, the world might find cures for incurable diseases like HIV disease and Cancer sooner. Our approach presented in this paper is to utilize a multi-core environment to introduce Data Level Parallelism (DLP) to the Autodock Vina software, which is a widely used for molecular docking software. Autodock Vina already exploits Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP) in multi-core environments and therefore optimized for such environments. However, with the results we have obtained, it can be clearly seen that our approach has enhanced the throughput of the already optimized software by more than six times. This will dramatically reduce the time consumed for the lead identification phase in drug designing along with the shift in the processor technology from multi-core to many-core of the current era. Therefore, we believe that the contribution of this project will effectively make it possible to expand the number of small molecules docked against a drug target and improving the chances to design drugs for incurable diseases.

description: We have searched the Kepler light curves of ~3900 M-star targets for evidence of periodicities that indicate, by means of the effects of starspots, rapid stellar rotation. Several analysis techniques, including Fourier transforms, inspection of folded light curves, 'sonograms', and phase tracking of individual modulation cycles, were applied in order to distinguish the periodicities due to rapid rotation from those due to stellar pulsations, eclipsing binaries, or transiting planets. We find 178 Kepler M-star targets with rotation periods, P_rot, of < 2 days, and 110 with P_rot < 1 day. Some 30 of the 178 systems exhibit two or more independent short periods within the same Kepler photometric aperture, while several have three or more short periods. Adaptive optics imaging and modeling of the Kepler pixel response function for a subset of our sample support the conclusion that the targets with multiple periods are highly likely to be relatively young physical binary, triple, and even quadruple M star systems. We explore in detail the one object with four incommensurate periods all less than 1.2 days, and show that two of the periods arise from one of a close pair of stars, while the other two arise from the second star, which itself is probably a visual binary. If most of these M-star systems with multiple periods turn out to be bound M stars, this could prove a valuable way of discovering young hierarchical M-star systems; the same approach may also be applicable to G and K stars. The ~5% occurrence rate of rapid rotation among the ~3900 M star targets is consistent with spin evolution models that include an initial contraction phase followed by magnetic braking, wherein a typical M star can spend several hundred Myr before spinning down to periods longer than 2 days.

description: Two closely related policies, currently in place in over 20 states, seek to prevent high-risk individuals from obtaining firearms. However, their effectiveness has proven variable. The first set of policies extends background check requirements to private transfers and are often referred to as comprehensive background check (CBC) policies. While there is good evidence that background checks reduce the risk of violence among individuals who are denied a firearm following a background check, recent research by our team has not identified changes in rates of firearm harm or changes in the frequency of background checks following the implementation or repeal of comprehensive background check policies in several states. A second set of policies, in place in several states, requires a permitting process in addition to comprehensive background checks, referred to as permit-to-purchase (PTP) policies. States implementing or repealing PTP policies have seen decreases and increases, respectively, in firearm fatality relative to control states. The reasons for these different findings are not known, and the existing research does not fully address variation in the design of CBC and PTP policies across states. Research into the specific factors that prevent the transfer of firearms to high-risk individuals has focused on the rigor of the background check and regulation of licensed retailers, among other topics. Findings from these studies demonstrate that a more nuanced understanding of the modifying effects of specific design, implementation, and enforcement factors is critical to creating effective policies. One hypothesis is that PTP policies are effective in part due to better record keeping and more sophisticated record keeping systems. The current study explores the role of the records and record-keeping systems in states with CBC or PTP policies.
Dissipative Landau-Zener level crossing subject to continuous measurement: Excitation despite decay

description: The Landau-Zener formula provides an analytical expression for the final excitation of a quantum system after passage of an avoided crossing of two energy levels. If the two levels correspond to a ground state, and to an excited state which is subject to radiative decay, the probability of exciting the system by adiabatic passage of the level crossing is reduced. In this article we use a stochastic master equation to study the level crossing dynamics when the system is subject to continuous probing of the emitted radiation. The measurement backaction on the system associated with the fluctuating homodyne detection record alters the level crossing dynamics, leading to significant excitation in spite of decay and imperfect transfer.

description: The cage effect is widely accepted as the basic microscopic mechanism underlying the physics of supercooled liquids in contrast with usual liquids which are governed by molecular interactions only. In this work we implement a new toy model coined to reproduce the cage effect with variants including structural fluctuations and kinetic constraints. We use this new model to investigate which glass-transition features are directly due to the cage effect and which are due to more complex mechanisms.

description: We show how our previous result based on the replica Bethe ansatz for the Kardar Parisi Zhang (KPZ) equation with the "half-flat" initial condition leads to the Airy$_2$ to Airy$_1$ (i.e. GUE to GOE) universal crossover one-point height distribution in the limit of large time. Equivalently, we obtain the distribution of the free energy of a long directed polymer (DP) in a random potential with one fixed endpoint and the other one on a half-line. We then generalize to a DP when each endpoint is free on its own half-line. It amounts, in the limit of large time, to obtain the distribution of the maximum of the transition process Airy$_{2\to 1}$ (minus a half-parabola) on a half line.

description: The versatile control of graphene's plasmonic modes via an external gate-voltage inspires us to design efficient electro-optical graphene plasmonic logic gates at the midinfrared wavelengths. We show that these devices are superior to the conventional optical logic gates because the former possess cut-off states and interferometric effects. Moreover, the designed six basic logic gates (i.e., NOR/AND, NAND/OR, XNOR/XOR) achieved not only ultracompact size lengths of less than λ/28 with respect to the operating wavelength of 10 μm, but also a minimum extinction ratio as high as 15 dB. These graphene plasmonic logic gates are potential building blocks for future nanoscale midinfrared photonic integrated circuits.

Oncological and reproductive outcomes after treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and early-stage cervical cancer: an advanced evidence synthesis
Creators: name: Athanasiou, Antonios
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: Introduction: The trade-off between effectiveness and reproductive morbidity of different treatments for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and early-stage cervical cancer is unclear. We aimed to compare the effectiveness, complications and costs associated with various techniques. Methods: We performed a network meta-analysis to compare CIN treatments in terms of oncological and reproductive outcomes. We performed a meta-analysis to calculate the risk of cervical cancer and other human papillomavirus (HPV)-related malignancies after CIN treatments. We performed a cost-effectiveness analysis of CIN treatments. Finally, we performed a meta-analysis to compare fertility-sparing treatments for early-stage cervical cancer in terms of oncological and reproductive outcomes. Results: More radical treatment of CIN decreased risk of treatment failure but increased risk of preterm birth compared with less radical treatment. Women treated for CIN remained at increased risk of cervical cancer for at least 20 years after treatment compared with general population; risk was higher after ablation (ablation vs general population: risk ratio [RR]=4.34 [95% confidence interval 1.77–10.61]) than after excision (excision vs general population: RR=2.04 [1.80–2.31]). Risk of other HPV-related malignancies was also elevated after treatment. Large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ) had balanced effectiveness and reproductive morbidity, and so it was the most cost-effective treatment for young women. However, for women who completed childbearing, both LLETZ and laser conisation were cost-effective alternatives. Finally, we found that more radical fertility-sparing surgery for early-stage cervical cancer decreased risk of recurrence but increased risk of reproductive morbidity compared with less radical surgery. Conclusions: Increasing treatment radicality decreases risk of treatment failure but increases risk of subsequent preterm birth. Before deciding upon treatment method, clinicians and patients should be informed of benefits and risks associated with each technique. LLETZ is the most cost-effective treatment for younger patients, but more radical excision could be considered for older patients.

description: The helical Dirac states on the surface of a topological insulator are protected by topology and display significant particle-hole asymmetry. This asymmetry arises from a subdominant Schrödinger type contribution to the Hamiltonian which provides a small perturbation to a dominant Dirac contribution. This changes the Landau levels energies in an external magnetic field ($B$) and provides modifications to the usual relativistic optical matrix elements. Nevertheless we find that the relativistic quantization of the Hall plateaux remains even when the ratio of the Schrödinger ($E_0$) to Dirac ($E_1$) magnetic energy scale increases either through an increase in $B$, a decrease in the Schrödinger mass or of the Dirac fermi velocity. First corrections to the optical matrix elements(OME) in the relativistic case drop out at least to order $(E_0/E_1)^3$. In the opposite limit $E_1$ small, the quantization remains classical but there is a split into two series. The first corrections to the OME in this case, cancel out at least to order $(E_1/E_0)^4$.

description: We study a susceptible-vaccinated--infected--recovered (SVIR) epidemic-spreading model with diversity of infection rate of the individuals. By means of analytical arguments as well as extensive computer simulations, we demonstrate that the heterogeneity in infection rate can either impede or accelerate the epidemic spreading, which depends on the amount of vaccinated individuals introduced in the population as well as the contact pattern among the individuals. Remarkably, as long as the individuals with different capability of acquiring the disease interact with unequal frequency, there always exist a cross point for the fraction of vaccinated, below which the diversity of infection rate hinders the epidemic spreading and above which expedites it. The overall results are robust to the SVIR dynamics defined on different population models; the possible applications of the results are discussed.

description: We study phase transition of self-avoiding fluid surface model on dynamically triangulated lattices using the Monte Carlo simulation technique. We report the continuous transition between the branched polymer and inflated phases at ${\it Δ}p \!=\!0$, where ${\it Δ}p (=\!p_{\rm in}\!-\!p_{\rm out})$ is the pressure difference between the inner and outer sides of the surface. This transition is characterized by almost discontinuous change of the enclosed volume versus the variations of the bending rigidity $κ$ and the pressure difference ${\it Δ}p$. No surface fluctuation transition accompanies this transition up to the surface with the number of vertices $N\!=\!2562$.

description: Our understanding of massive star evolution is in flux, due to recent upheavals in our view of mass loss, and observations of a high binary fraction among O-type stars. Mass-loss rates for standard metallicity-dependent winds of hot stars are now thought to be lower by a factor of 2-3 compared to rates adopted in modern stellar evolution models, due to the influence of clumping. Weaker line-driven winds shift the burden of H-envelope removal elsewhere, so that the dominant modes of mass loss are the winds, pulsations, and eruptions of evolved supergiants, as well as binary mass transfer. Studies of stripped-envelope supernovae, in particular, require binary mass transfer. Dramatic examples of eruptive mass loss are seen in Type IIn supernovae, which have massive shells ejected just a few years before core collapse. The shifting emphasis from steady winds to episodic mass loss is a major change for low-metallicity regions, since eruptions and binary mass transfer are less sensitive to metallicity. We encounter the predicament that the most important modes of mass loss are also the most uncertain, undermining the predictive power of single-star evolution models beyond core H burning. Moreover, the influence of winds and rotation in models has been evaluated by testing single-star models against observed statistics that, as it turns out, are heavily influenced by binary evolution. This alters our view about the most basic outcomes of massive-star mass loss --- are WR stars and SNe Ibc the products of single-star winds, or are they mostly the result of binary evolution and eruptive mass loss? This paradigm shift has far-reaching impact on a number of other areas of astronomy. (abridged)

description: Η εξερεύνηση υδρογονανθράκων συνήθως περιλαμβάνει δείγματα πετρωμάτων από διαφορετικές τοποθεσίες, γεωλογικούς σχηματισμούς και βάθη, τα οποία αναλύονται ως προς την ορυκτολογική τους σύσταση. Τα δείγματα που αξιολογούνται στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία προέρχονται από μητρικά πετρώματα τα οποία συλλέχθηκαν και αναλύθηκαν ως προς τη συγκέντρωση οργανικού άνθρακα (TOC wt%) από το Γεωλογικό Ινστιτούτο των ΗΠΑ (USGS). Αντικείμενο της διπλωματικής εργασίας αποτελεί η εφαρμογή ενός γεωστατιστικού μοντέλου για την διερεύνηση της χωρικής κατανομής των δειγμάτων αυτών στην βορειοανατολική χερσαία λεκάνη της ακτής του κόλπου του Μεξικού. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, χρησιμοποιείται η μέθοδος χωρικής παρεμβολής κανονικού kriging με στόχο την εκτίμηση της συγκέντρωσης οργανικού άνθρακα στα σημεία της περιοχής μελέτης όπου δεν υπάρχουν μετρήσεις.

Τα δείγματα εξετάζονται ως προς τη μέση τιμή της συγκέντρωσης οργανικού άνθρακα για κάθε θέση δειγματοληψίας και γίνεται ο υπολογισμός των στατιστικών παραμέτρων της κατανομής τους. Η χωρική τάση προσδιορίζεται με πολυώνυμα χαμηλής τάξης, το γραμμικό, το τετραγωνικό και το κυβικό. Τα πολυώνυμα αυτά συγκρίνονται και η χωρική τάση αφαιρείται από το δείγμα με το γραμμικό πρότυπο και προκύπτει το πεδίο της διακύμανσης. Ο μετασχηματισμός της διακύμανσης σε γκαουσσιανή κατανομή κρίνεται απαραίτητος και γίνεται με τη μέθοδο modified Box-Cox. Για τον έλεγχο της χωρικής εξάρτησης κατασκευάζεται το πειραματικό βαριόγραμμα και δοκιμάζονται τέσσερα πρότυπα βαριογράμματα, το εκθετικό, το γκαουσσιανό, το σφαιρικό και το δυναμονομικό. Η βέλτιστη προσαρμογή στο πειραματικό βαριόγραμμα γίνεται με βάση το άθροισμα τετραγωνικού σφάλματος και επιλέγεται το εκθετικό μοντέλο. Η χαρτογράφηση της συγκέντρωσης οργανικού άνθρακα και ο προσδιορισμός της αβεβαιότητας της εκτίμησης γίνονται με τη μέθοδο κανονικού kriging. Τα αποτελέσματα της εκτίμησης ελέγχονται και αξιολογούνται με τη μέθοδο Leave one out cross-validation. Tέλος, πραγματοποιείται η χαρτογράφηση για τιμή οριακής περιεκτικότητας 2 wt% TOC για τα διαστήματα εμπιστοσύνης 10%, 25% και 75%. Η επεξεργασία των δεδομένων και η εφαρμογή της γεωστατιστικής μεθόδου έγινε με τη βοήθεια λογισμικού σε προγραμματιστικό περιβάλλον MATLAB.

description: We consider the vacuum geometry of supersymmetric theories with 4 supercharges, on a flat toroidal geometry. The 2 dimensional vacuum geometry is known to be captured by the $tt^*$ geometry. In the case of 3 dimensions, the parameter space is $(T^{2}\times {\mathbb R})^N$ and the vacuum geometry turns out to be a solution to a generalization of monopole equations in $3N$ dimensions where the relevant topological ring is that of line operators. We compute the generalization of the 2d cigar amplitudes, which lead to $S^2\times S^1$ or $S^3$ partition functions which are distinct from the supersymmetric partition functions on these spaces, but reduce to them in a certain limit. We show the sense in which these amplitudes generalize the structure of 3d Chern-Simons theories and 2d RCFT's. In the case of 4 dimensions the parameter space is of the form $(T^3\times {\mathbb R})^M\times T^{3N}$, and the vacuum geometry is a solution to a mixture of generalized monopole equations and generalized instanton equations (known as hyper-holomorphic connections). In this case the topological rings are associated to surface operators. We discuss the physical meaning of the generalized Nahm transforms which act on all of these geometries.

description: Diagnosis: Weirdo is a collection of memoir essays primarily centered around my experiences living with Asperger syndrome. Each essay focuses on a specific theme or narrative, such as how Asperger’s intersected with my religious evolution, or how it affected my coming out saga. In writing this collection, I have tried to faithfully depict a topic I’ve rarely seen covered from the point of view of someone with this disorder. My hope is that it will resonate with readers with or without my condition—that those who’ve struggled with it will feel seen, and those who have not will finish these pages having accrued greater empathy and understanding for people on the autistic spectrum.
How to be naïve about the mind

description: This dissertation defends common-sense views of the mind by com- bating two widespread tendencies among philosophers. One such tendency is to eliminate: to resolve puzzles about the mind by denying the existence of or- dinary mental features. For instance, many think that while we can experience the shape, color, and texture of a baseball, we cannot experience the time it takes for a baseball to fall to the ground or the number of times it bounces — indeed, we cannot experience any temporal features. The other tendency is to inflate: to resolve puzzles about the mind by positing new and unusual mental features. For instance, it is almost universally accepted among philosophers that to allow for the rationality of agents, especially those like Lois Lane and Oedipus, we must posit guises (or senses, or modes of presentation) under which agents think. Against these tendencies, I argue that we can resolve puzzles about the mind without invoking new features or denying ordinary ones. In chapter one I confront ‘Frege puzzles’ concerning Lois Lane and show that there several distinct yet often-conflated issues at play. Moreover, the plausibility of such puzzles depends on an equivocation between them. Once disentangled, it is clear there are simple explanations of Lois’ rationality that do not employ guises. In chapter two I confront the Knowledge Argument, which aims to establish that Mary the color scientist learns a non-physical fact upon seeing red for the first time, and by extension that the mind is not physical. The most popular responses to this argument invoke special mental features, including so-called phenomenal concepts, knowledge by acquaintance, and certain mental abilities. I argue for a simple response to the argument which does not invoke any special mental features. On the simple response, Mary is simply misled into thinking she’s learned something when she has not. In chapter three I confront a puzzle about temporal experience that many take to suggest we do not experience temporal features. I argue that experiencing is a process rather than a state (more like running than like being tall) and that this distinction resolves the puzzle: we experience temporal features over periods of time but not in virtue of experiencing them at instants during that time (just as one runs over periods of time but not in virtue of running at instants during that time).

description: We report on the scanning tunneling spectroscopy experiments on single crystals of IrTe$_{2}$. A structural supermodulation and a local density-of-states (LDOS) modulation with a wave vector of $q$ = 1/5$\times$$2π/a_{0}$ ($a_{0}$ is the lattice constant in the $ab$-plane) have been observed at 4.2K where the sample is in the monoclinic phase. %We cannot find an energy gap emerging reproducibly.% on the region where the supermodulation resides. As synchronized with the supermodulation, the LDOS spatially modulates within two energy ranges (below -200 meV and around -100 meV). We further investigated the effect of the local perturbations including the antiphase boundaries and the twin boundaries on the LDOS. These perturbations also modify the LDOS below -200 meV and around -100 meV, even though the lattice distortions induced by these perturbations appear to be different from those by the supermodulation. Our results indicating several microscopic structural effects on the LDOS seem to offer crucial keys for the establishment of the microscopic model describing the parent state.

title: Understanding the regional and seasonal influences of the stratospheric contribution to tropospheric ozone
Creators: name: Williams, Ryan Scott
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2023

description: Tropospheric ozone (O3) is the third most important greenhouse gas (GHG) and as an air pollutant, constitutes one of the major contributors to ~7 million premature deaths (WHO, 2019) annually worldwide and also to ecosystem damage. Furthermore, ozone determines hydroxyl (OH) radical levels, which serves to breakdown various pollutants and GHGs. Despite its significance, regional and seasonal variations in tropospheric ozone are poorly understood. Ozone in the troposphere is formed from various precursor species (e.g. CO, NOx and VOCs), which have both natural and anthropogenic sources, as well as transported down from the stratosphere. The relative importance of each influence has been the subject of intense debate in recent decades. Using a combination of in situ (ozonesonde) and satellite (GOME-2A and OMI) observations, in conjunction with state-of-the-art chemistry climate models (EMAC and CMAM), comprehensive quantification of the regional and seasonal variability in tropospheric ozone is here provided, including recent changes and source attribution using the models’ stratospheric-tagged ozone tracers. This combined approach is necessary to overcome the shortcomings of individual datasets. The realism of each dataset is first rigorously evaluated and limitations identified. A significant source of retrieval error is identified in the satellite measurements, which will serve to retrospectively improve existing datasets. Using both models, it is quantified that the stratospheric influence is larger than found in previous studies; exceeding 50 % near the surface during winter in the extratropics. Finally, the influence of midwinter Sudden Stratospheric Warmings (SSWs) in relation to upper troposphere/lower stratosphere (UTLS) composition and stratosphere�troposphere exchange (STE) of ozone is presented, as a potential source of interannual variability. Approximately half of all SSWs result in significant, prolonged perturbations in UTLS composition, with implications for STE of ozone at lead times of ~50 days. The radiative and air quality implications are subsequently discussed.
