A Measurement of CP violating asymmetries in $B^0 \to$ f0(980) $K^0_{s}$ decays
We present preliminary measurements of the CP -violating asymmetries in the decay B → f0(980)(→ π+π−)K0 S . The results are obtained from a data sample of 209 × 10 Υ (4S) → BB decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. From a time-dependent maximum-likelihood fit we measure the mixing-induced CP violation parameter S = −0.95 −0.23 ± 0.10 and the direct CP violation parameter C = −0.24 ± 0.31 ± 0.15, where the first errors are statistical and the second systematic.

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: 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: 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: A geometric factor calculation method based on the isotropic flux assumption
abstract: One of the instruments onboard the China Seismic Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES) is the Low Energy Particle Detector (LEPD). The primary objective of LEPD is to provide measurements of the fluxes, energy spectra and pitch angles of 100 keV to 10 MeV electrons and protons from 2 to 50 MeV in the Earth's magnetosphere. The geometric factor is one of the principle parameters of a detector, which converts the physical quantity count rate to the particle quantity-flux. In this paper, we calculated the geometric factor of LEPD via computer modeling of an isotropic radiation environment. It was first demonstrated that the radiation intensity related should obey a cosine-law, then a general sampling method of generating this distribution via CPS of GEANT4 was explained. Furthermore, combined with flux normalization, a comparison of the geometric factor calculation of a set of 2-layer detectors with different shapes (cylinder, truncated cone and rectangle) was performed. Results show a generally good agreement between simulation and analytical calculations for the cylinder and truncated cone detectors, and the result of the rectangular one, for which there is no accurate analytical formula, is consistent with the previous simulated results by others. As a practical instance of the 2-layer rectangle detector, the geometric factor of LEPD is 10.336 +/- 0.036 cm(2).sr for 10 MeV proton and 8.211 +/- 0.032 cm(2).sr for 8 MeV electron.

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: 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.

title: Coulomb gauge model for hidden charm tetraquarks
abstract: The spectrum of tetraquark states with hidden charm is studied within an effective Coulomb gauge Hamiltonian approach. Of the four independent color schemes, two are investigated, the ( q c ¯ ) 1 ( c q ¯ ) 1 singlet–singlet (molecule) and the ( q c ) 3 ( q ¯ c ¯ ) 3 triplet–triplet (diquark), for selected J PC states using a variational method. The predicted masses of triplet–triplet tetraquarks are roughly a GeV heavier than the singlet–singlet states. There is also an interesting flavor dependence with ( q q ¯ ) 1 ( c c ¯ 1 ) states about half a GeV lighter than ( q c ¯ ) 1 ( q ¯ c ) 1 . The lightest 1 + + and 1 − − predictions are in agreement with the observed X ( 3872 ) and Y ( 4008 ) masses suggesting they are molecules with ω J / ψ and η h c , rather than D ⁎ D ¯ ⁎ and D D ¯ , type structure, respectively. Similarly, the lightest isovector 1 + + molecule, having a ρ J / ψ flavor composition, has mass near the recently observed charged Z c ( 3900 ) value. These flavor configurations are consistent with observed X , Y and Z c decays to π π J / ψ .

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.
