Aerogel Cherenkov counter for the BELLE experiment
In the BELLE experiment at KEKB, a threshold Cherenkov counter system based on silica aerogels will be used to provide πK separation in the momentum region from 0.8 to 3.5 GeV/c. The detector design, recent progress in R&D and results of beam tests are reviewed.

title: A monitor for the composition of the gas mixture of BESIII muon chambers
abstract: An ionization chamber is designed to monitor the composition of the gas mixture of BESIII muon chambers, with the energy spectrum of 5.9 keV X-ray of the 55 Fe radioactive source. The high voltage, source strength and temperature dependence have been carefully studied to acquire stable operation of the gas monitor.

title: Scalar-tensor Anticross-correlation Does Not Help to Reconcile the Tension Between BICEP2 and Planck
abstract: We examine the recent proposal that the anticross-correlation of the scalar and tensor primordial fluctuations reconciles the tension between BICEP2 and Planck observations. We show that unfortunately the contribution from the scalar-tensor correlation to the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature power spectrum vanishes once summed over the angular mode m so the tension between BICEP2 and Planck cannot be reconciled. The reason is that one has to use the spin-weighted spherical harmonics when projecting fields with nonzero spins into the CMB sky. These nonzero spin-weighted spherical harmonics are subject to orthogonality conditions when summed over the angular direction, and thus, the desired cross-correlation between the scalar and tensor perturbations in CMB map vanishes.

title: The Muon Filter of the L3 detector
abstract: In this article we describe the outer part (Muon Filter) of the Hadron Calorimeter of the L3 detector. Construction and performance of the brass chambers, which form the sensitive part of the detector, are reviewed. We also report the results from data taken on two beam tests, at CERN.

title: Holographic p-wave Josephson junction
abstract: In this work we generalized holographic model for s-wave DC Josephson junction constructed in arXiv:1101.3326[hep-th] to a holographic description for p-wave Josephson junction. By solving numerically the coupled equations of motion of Yang-Mills theory for a non-Abelian SU(2) gauge fields in (3+1)-dimensional AdS spacetimes, we shown that DC current of the p-wave Josephson junction is proportional to the sine of the phase difference across the junction like the s-wave case.

title: The R&D program for silicon detectors in CMS
abstract: This paper describes the main achievements in the development of radiation resistant silicon detectors to be used in the CMS tracker. After a general description of the basic requirements for the operation of large semiconductor systems in the LHC environment, the issue of radiation resistance is discussed in detail. Advantages and disadvantages of the different technological options are presented for comparison. Laboratory measurements and test beam data are used to check the performance of several series of prototypes fabricated by different companies. The expected performance of the final detector modules are presented together with preliminary test beam results on system prototypes.
