Test beam results of a stereo preshower integrated in the liquid argon accordion calorimeter
This paper describes the construction of an integrated preshower within the RD3 liquid argon accordion calorimeter. It has a stereo view which enables the measurement of two transverse coordinates. The prototype was tested at CERN with electrons, photons and muons to validate its capability to work at LHC (Energy resolution, impact point resolution, angular resolution, π o γ rejection).

title: Calibration of the Yangbajing Air-shower Core detector using the test beam of BEPCII
abstract: Core detector(YAC) has been developed for the next phase of Tibet air-shower experiment to measure the chemical composition of cosmic rays in “knee” region. A preparation is made for calibration of the linearity of the dynamic range and position dependence of light yield of YAC using test beam of BEPCII. A scraper will be used to attenuate the electron beam intensity from about 10 10 /pulse to 10 2 –10 6 /pulse. A Faraday cup, a thick ionization chamber and a thin ionization chamber are being manufactured to monitor the beam intensity covering dynamic range from 10 2 /pulse to 10 10 /pulse.

title: Determination of the branching ratio of the decay pi 0-->e+e-
abstract: Employing the decay chain K + →π + p 0 , π 0 →e + e - we have observed the decay π 0 →e + e - . With a signal sample of ≃21 events we measure the branching ratio for π 0 →e + e - to be (6.9±2.3±0.6)×10 -8 , normalized to the decay K + →π + p 0 , π 0 →e + e - γ. This result is consistent with the unitarity lower bound and the published 90% confidence level upper limit of 13×10 -8

title: Performance of missing transverse momentum reconstructionin proton-proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV with ATLAS
abstract: The measurement of missing transverse momentum in the ATLAS detector, described in this paper, makes use of the full event reconstruction and a calibration based on reconstructed physics objects. The performance of the missing transverse momentum reconstruction is evaluated using data collected in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV in 2010. Minimum bias events and events with jets of hadrons are used from data samples corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 0.3 nb^(−1) and 600 nb^(−1) respectively, together with events containing a Z boson decaying to two leptons (electrons or muons) or a W boson decaying to a lepton (electron or muon) and a neutrino, from a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 36 pb^(−1). An estimate of the systematic uncertainty on the missing transverse momentum scale is presented.

title: Measurement of $\chi_{cJ}$ decaying into $p\bar{n}\pi^{-}$ and $p\bar{n}\pi^{-}\pi^{0}$
abstract: Using a data sample of $1.06 \times 10^{8}$ $\psip$ events collected with the BESIII detector in 2009, the branching fractions of $\chi_{cJ}\to p\bar{n}\pi^{-}$ and $ p\bar{n}\pi^{-}\pi^{0}$ ($J$=0,1,2) are measured{Throughout the text, inclusion of charge conjugate modes is implied if not stated otherwise.}. The results for $\chi_{c0}\to p\bar{n}\pi^{-}$ and $\chi_{c2}\to p\bar{n}\pi^{-}$ are consistent with, but much more precise than those of previous measurements. The decays of $\chi_{c1}\to p\bar{n}\pi^{-}$ and $ p\bar{n}\pi^{-}\pi^{0}$ are observed for the first time.

title: Observation of $\eta_{c}$ decay into $\Sigma^{+}\bar{\Sigma}^{-}$ and $\Xi^{-}\bar{\Xi}^{+}$ final states
abstract: Using a data sample of $2.25\times10^{8}$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we present the first observation of the decays of $\eta_{c}$ mesons to $\Sigma^{+}\bar{\Sigma}^{-}$ and $\Xi^{-}\bar{\Xi}^{+}$. The branching fractions are measured to be $(2.11\pm0.28_{\rm stat.}\pm0.18_{\rm syst.}\pm0.50_{\rm PDG})\times10^{-3}$ and $(0.89\pm0.16_{\rm stat.}\pm0.08_{\rm syst.}\pm0.21_{\rm PDG})\times10^{-3}$ for $\eta_{c} \to \Sigma^{+}\bar{\Sigma}^{-}$ and $\Xi^{-}\bar{\Xi}^{+}$, respectively. These branching fractions provide important information on the helicity selection rule in charmonium-decay processes.

title: Coherence phenomena between initial and final state radiation in a dense QCD medium
abstract: A bstractIn this work we investigate medium modifications to the interference pattern between initial and final state radiation. We compute single gluon production off a highly energetic parton that undergoes a hard scattering and subsequently crosses a dense QCD medium of finite size. We extend our previous studies obtained at first order in opacity by providing general results for multiple soft scatterings and their specific formulation within the harmonic oscillator approximation. We show that there is a gradual onset of decoherence between the initial and final state radiation due to multiple scatterings, that opens the phase space for large angle emissions. By examining the multiplicity of produced gluons, we observe a potentially large double logarithmic enhancement for dense media and small opening angles. This result points to a possible modification of the evolution equations due to a QCD medium of finite size. We briefly comment on the phenomenological consequences of this setup in high-energy nuclear collisions.
