A measurement of CP-violation parameters in B0 anti-B0 mixing using partially reconstructed D*- l+ nu/l events at BaBar
CP violation in B0B0bar mixing is characterized by the value of the parameter |q/p| being different from 1, and the Standard Model predicts this difference to be smaller than 10^{-3}. We present a measurement of this parameter using a partial reconstruction of one of the B mesons in the semileptonic channel D*- l+ nu_l, where only the hard lepton and the soft pion from the D*- --> D0bar pi- decay are reconstructed. The flavor of the other B is determined by means of lepton tagging. The determination of |q/p| is then performed with a fit to the proper time difference of the two B decays. We use a luminosity of 200.8 fb^-1, collected at the Y(4S) resonance by the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetrical-energy e+e- collider, in the period 1999-2004. We obtain the preliminary result: |q/p| - 1 = (6.5 +/- 3.4(stat.) +/- 2.0(syst.)) x 10^{-3}

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: 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: 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: 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: Coulomb gauge approach to scalar hadrons
abstract: The Coulomb gauge model, involving an effective QCD Hamiltonian in the Coulomb gauge, is applied to scalar hadrons. Mass predictions are presented for both conventional qq meson and qqqq tetra‐quark states. Mixing matrix elements between these states were also computed and diagonalized to provide a reasonable description of the scalar spectrum below 2 GeV.

title: Strange electric form factor of the proton.
abstract: By combining the constraints of charge symmetry with new chiral extrapolation techniques and recent low-mass quenched lattice QCD simulations of the individual quark contributions to the electric charge radii of the baryon octet, we obtain an accurate determination of the strange electric charge radius of the proton. While this analysis provides a value for G(E)(s)(Q(2) = 0.1 GeV(2)) in agreement with the best current data, the theoretical error is comparable with that expected from future HAPPEX results from JLab. Together with the earlier determination of G(M)(s), this result considerably constrains the role of hidden flavor in the structure of the nucleon.

title: Neutron stars and strange stars in the chiral SU(3) quark mean field model
abstract: We investigate the equations of state for pure neutron matter and strange hadronic matter in {beta}-equilibrium, including {Lambda}, {Sigma} and {Xi} hyperons. The masses and radii of pure neutron stars and strange hadronic stars are obtained. For a pure neutron star, the maximum mass is about 1.8 M{sub sun}, while for a strange hadronic star, the maximum mass is around 1.45M{sub sun}. The typical radii of pure neutron stars and strange hadronic stars are about 11.0-12.3 km and 10.7-11.7 km, respectively.

title: Unified Hamiltonian model for mesons and baryons
abstract: A new Hamiltonian model is introduced to study the spectrum of light hadrons. It combines relativistic field theory with elements of the constituent quark model. In addition to the standard linear confining and pseudoscalar meson exchange interactions with predetermined parameters, an additional interaction with different covariant spin structures is examined. Using a large scale Monte Carlo variational procedure, the resulting model Hamiltonian provides a very good, unified description of the light quark baryon (both octet and decuplet) and meson spectra.

title: Inflation in de Sitter spacetime and CMB large scale anomaly
abstract: The influence of cosmological constant-type dark energy in the early universe is investigated. This is accommodated by a new dispersion relation in de Sitter spacetime. We perform a global fit to explore the cosmological parameter space by using the CosmoMC package with the recently released Planck TT and WMAP polarization datasets. Using the results from the global fit, we compute a new CMB temperature temperature (TT) spectrum. The obtained TT spectrum has lower power compared with that based on the ACDM model at large scales.
