Recent status and results from BES

title: Physics at BES-III
abstract: This physics book provides detailed discussions on important topics in $\tau$-charm physics that will be explored during the next few years at \bes3 . Both theoretical and experimental issues are covered, including extensive reviews of recent theoretical developments and experimental techniques. Among the subjects covered are: innovations in Partial Wave Analysis (PWA), theoretical and experimental techniques for Dalitz-plot analyses, analysis tools to extract absolute branching fractions and measurements of decay constants, form factors, and CP-violation and \DzDzb-oscillation parameters. Programs of QCD studies and near-threshold tau-lepton physics measurements are also discussed.

title: Search for T, CP, and CPT violation in B0-B0 mixing with inclusive dilepton events.
abstract: We report the results of a search for T, CP, CPT, and violation in B0-B0 mixing using an inclusive dilepton sample collected by the BABAR experiment at the PEP-II factory. Using a sample of 232 x 10(6) BB pairs, we measure the T and CP violation parameter |q/p| - 1 = (-0.8 +/- 2.7(stat) +/- 1.9(syst) x 10(-3), and the CPT and CP parameters Imz = (13.9 +/- 7.3(stat) +/- 3.2(syst)) x 10(-3) and Delta Gamma x Rez = (7.1 +/- 3.9(stat) +/- 2.0(stat)) x 10(-3) ps(-1). The statistical correlation between the measurements of Imz and Delta Gamma x Rez is 76%.

title: First observation of CP violation and improved measurement of the branching fraction and polarization of B0→D*+D*− decays
abstract: We report the measurement of the branching fraction, the polarization, and the parameters of the time-dependent CP violation in B-0 -> D*(+) D*(-) decays using a data sample of 772 x 10(6)B (B) over bar pairs, collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) collider. We obtain a branching fraction of B = (7.82 +/- 0.38 +/- 0.63) x 10(-4), a CP-odd fraction of R-perpendicular to = 0.138 +/- 0.024 +/- 0.006 and, additionally, a fraction of the longitudinal component in the transversity base of R-0 = 0.624 +/- 0.029 +/- 0.011. The measured values of the parameters of the CP violation are SD*+ D*- = 0.79 +/- 0.13 +/- 0.03 and A(D*+ D*-) 0.15 +/- 0.08 +/- 0.04.

title: Observation of $J/\psi \rightarrow p\bar{p}a_{0}(980)$ at BESIII
abstract: Using $2.25\times10^{8}$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage rings, we observe for the first time the process $J/\psi\rightarrow p\bar{p}a_{0}(980)$, $a_{0}(980)\rightarrow \pi^{0}\eta$ with a significance of $6.5\sigma$ ($3.2\sigma$ including systematic uncertainties). The product branching fraction of $J/\psi\rightarrow p\bar{p}a_{0}(980)\rightarrow p\bar{p}\pi^{0}\eta$ is measured to be $(6.8\pm1.2\pm1.3)\times 10^{-5}$, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. This measurement provides information on the $a_{0}$ production near threshold coupling to $p\bar{p}$ and improves the understanding of the dynamics of $J/\psi$ decays to four body processes.

title: Gamma-Ray Emission from the Shell of Supernova Remnant W44 Revealed by the Fermi LAT
abstract: Supernova Remnant Observations The sources of the cosmic rays that bombard Earth have been mysterious, but more recent explanations invoke high-energy acceleration of protons by the remnants of stellar explosions. Using the Fermi Large Area Telescope, Abdo et al. (p. 1103, published online 5 January) obtained an image of the supernova remnant W44, which shows associated gamma-ray emissions in the order of gigaelectronvolts, conforming with models indicating local proton and nuclei acceleration. Satellite observations suggest that protons are accelerated in the shell of a supernova remnant. Recent observations of supernova remnants (SNRs) hint that they accelerate cosmic rays to energies close to ~1015 electron volts. However, the nature of the particles that produce the emission remains ambiguous. We report observations of SNR W44 with the Fermi Large Area Telescope at energies between 2 × 108 electron volts and 3 ×1011 electron volts. The detection of a source with a morphology corresponding to the SNR shell implies that the emission is produced by particles accelerated there. The gamma-ray spectrum is well modeled with emission from protons and nuclei. Its steepening above ~109 electron volts provides a probe with which to study how particle acceleration responds to environmental effects such as shock propagation in dense clouds and how accelerated particles are released into interstellar space.

title: Strange hadronic matter in a chiral SU(3) quark mean-field model
abstract: A quark-meson coupling model based on SU(3)(L) x SU(3)(R) symmetry and scale invariance is proposed, We apply this chiral SU(3) quark mean-field model to investigate strange hadronic matter including Lambda, Sigma and Xi hyperons, With the symmetry-breaking term, all the hyperon potentials are reasonable. The effective baryon masses, binding energy and hyperon ratios are discussed with four types of confining potentials.

title: Primary proton flux around the "knee" region deduced from the observation of air showers accompanied by gamma families
abstract: The simultaneous observation of -families and accompanied air showers enables us to obtain the primary proton flux around the knee energy region where no direct measurements are available up to now. We operated a hy- brid experiment which consists of emulsion chambers and the Tibet-II air-shower array (AS) at Yangbajing (4,300 m a.s.l., 606 g/cm ) in 1996-1999. The total area of emulsion chamber (EC) and burst detector (BD) complex was 80 m and they were set up near the center of the Tibet-II air-shower array. We already published the primary proton flux in the energy region ranging from eV to eV using the BD and AS data. We used an artificial neural network to select the proton-induced events from the EC data set. The proton fluxes obtained from this experiment are presented in the knee energy region. Our result suggests that the primary becomes heavy dominant in the knee energy region.
