Measurement of the mass of the tau lepton.
The mass of the [tau] lepton has been measured at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider using the Beijing Spectrometer. A search near threshold for [ital e][sup +][ital e[minus]][r arrow][tau][sup +][tau][sup [minus]] was performed. Candidate events were identified by requiring that one [tau] decay via [tau][r arrow][ital e][nu][bar ], and the other via [tau][r arrow][mu][nu][bar [nu]]. The mass value, obtained from a fit to the energy dependence of the [tau][sup +][tau][sup [minus]] cross section, is [ital m][sub [tau]]=1776.9[sub [minus]0.5][sup +0.4][plus minus]0.2 MeV.

title: Java Analysis Studio
abstract: Java Analysis Studio is a desktop data analysis application aimed primarily at offline analysis of high-energy physics data. The goal is to make the application independent of any particular data format, so that it can be used to analyze data from any experiment. The application features a rich graphical user interface (GUI) aimed at making the program easy to learn and use, but which at the same time allows the user to perform arbitrarily complex data analysis tasks by writing analysis modules in Java. The application can be used either as a standalone application, or as a client for a remote Java Data Server. The client-server mechanism is targeted particularly at allowing remote users to access large data samples stored on a central data center in a natural and efficient way.

title: A Measurement of the left-right, forward - backward asymmetry for charm quarks using D*+ and D+ mesons
abstract: Longitudinal polarization of the SLC e{sup {minus}} beam allows a direct measurement of the left-right, forward-backward asymmetry of c-quarks to be made with the SLD. Events from Z{sup 0} {yields} c{bar c} are tagged using fully and partially reconstructed decays of D{sup *+} mesons, and fully reconstructed decays of D{sup +} mesons. The authors measure A{sub c} = 0.77 {+-} 0.22(stat.) {+-} 0.10(syst.).

abstract: We report on the observations of 14 dwarf spheroidal galaxie s with theFermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope taken during the first 11 months of survey mod e operations. TheFermi telescope, which is conducting an all-sky γ-ray survey in the 20 MeV to>300 GeV energy range, provides a new opportunity to test particle dark matter mode ls through the expected γ-ray emission produced by pair annihilation of weakly interacting ma ssive particles (WIMPs).

title: Direct measurement of parity violation in the coupling of Z(0) bosons to b quarks using a mass tag and momentum-weighted track charge
abstract: We present a direct measurement of the parity-violation parameter A{sub b} using a self-calibrating track-charge technique. In the SLAC Linear Collider Large Detector (SLD) experiment we observe hadronic decays of Z{sup 0} bosons produced in collisions between longitudinally polarized electrons and unpolarized positrons at the SLAC Linear Collider. A sample of b{bar b} events is selected using the topologically reconstructed mass of B hadrons. From our 1993{endash}1995 sample of approximately 150000 hadronic Z{sup 0} decays, we obtain A{sub b}=0.911{plus_minus}0.045(stat) {plus_minus}0.045(syst) . {copyright} {ital 1998}

title: Bag formation in a chiral model.
abstract: We show that a bag can be automatically formed in a model where the Skyrme Lagrangian is modified to possess the correct QCD scaling behavior.

title: Energy dependence of pion inelastic scattering to the 1(+) states in 12C.
abstract: The energy dependence of cross sections for inelastic pion scattering to the /Delta/ = /Delta/ = /Delta/ = 1 transition at 15.11 MeV in /sup 12/C is found to map very closely the /Delta/ = /Delta/ = /Delta/+1 /pi/-nucleon scattering cross sections at beam energies from 50 to 295 MeV. This free /pi/-nucleon energy dependence is due to the prominent /Delta/sub 3/2,3/2/ resonance, corresponding to the first excited nucleon state, which is mirrored in the /pi/-nucleus system with little alteration.

title: Double analog state in odd-A nuclei.
abstract: Measurements were performed using pion double charge exchange to observe the double isobaric analog state (DIAS) in the odd-[ital A] nuclei [sup 54]V, [sup 59]Co, [sup 115]In, and [sup 197]Au. These results are combined with data for other odd-[ital A] targets and used to investigate the [ital N], [ital Z], and [ital A] dependence of DIAS cross sections.

title: Realistic pseudoscalar-vector chiral Lagrangian and its soliton excitations.
abstract: A reasonable low-energy chiral Lagrangian of vectors and pseudoscalars involves three a priori unknown coefficients for terms proportional to the Levi-Civita symbol epsilon/sub ..mu..//sub ..nu..//sub ..cap alpha..//sub ..beta../. We argue that these cannot, from a theoretical standpoint, be reliably determined by consideration of electromagnetic processes. Hence we use purely strong-interaction processes which enable us to determine two out of three of these. We examine the nucleon as a soliton excitation in the model and find that adjustment of the third parameter does not greatly change the, in most respects accurate, description of the nucleon obtained in a previous treatment by Meissner, Kaiser, and Weise. The paper includes a new and careful formulation of the addition of electromagnetism to the full Lagrangian.
