Measurement of inelastic J/PSI production in deep inelastic scattering at HERA
The inelastic production of J/psi mesons in ep collisions has been studied with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 109 pb(-1). The J/psi mesons were identified using the decay channel J/psi -> mu(+)mu(-). The measurements were performed in the kinematic range 2 < Q(2) < 80 GeV2, 50 < W < 250 GeV, 0.2 < z < 0.9 and -1.6 < Y-lab < 1.3, where Q(2) is the virtuality of the exchanged photon, W is the photon-proton centre-of-mass energy, z is the fraction of the photon energy carried by the J/psi meson in the proton rest frame and Ylab is the rapidity of the J/psi in the laboratory frame. The measured cross sections are compared to theoretical predictions within the non-relativistic QCD framework including colour-singlet and colour-octet contributions, as well as to predictions based on the k(T)-factorisation approach. Calculations of the colour-singlet process generally agree with the data, whereas inclusion of colour-octet terms spoils this agreement.

title: Measurement of isolated photons accompanied by jets in deep inelastic ep scattering
abstract: The production of isolated high-energy photons accompanied by jets has been measured in deep inelastic ep scattering with the ZEUS detector at HERA, using an integrated luminosity of 326pb -1 . Measurements were made for exchanged photon virtualities, Q 2 , in the range 10 to 350GeV 2 . The photons were measured in the transverse-energy and pseudorapidity ranges 4 γ jet <1.8. Differential cross sections are presented as functions of these quantities. Perturbative QCD predictions give a reasonable description of the shape of the measured cross sections over most of the kinematic range, but the absolute normalisation is typically in disagreement by 20-30%.

title: Measurement of charged current deep inelastic scattering cross sections with a longitudinally polarised electron beam at HERA
abstract: Measurements of the cross sections for charged current deep inelastic scattering in  collisions with longitudinally polarised electron beams are presented. The measurements are based on a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 175 pb−1 collected with the ZEUS detector at HERA at a centre-of-mass energy of 318 GeV. The total cross section is given for positively and negatively polarised electron beams. The differential cross-sections dσ/dQ2, dσ/dx and dσ/dy are presented for Q2>200 GeV2. The double-differential cross-section d2σ/dxdQ2 is presented in the kinematic range 280<Q2<30 000 GeV2 and 0.015<x<0.65. The measured cross sections are compared with the predictions of the Standard Model.

title: The spectrometer system for measuring ZEUS luminosity at HERA
abstract: The upgrade of the HERA accelerator has provided much increased collider luminosity. In turn, the improvements have necessitated a new design for the ZEUS luminosity measurements. The intense synchrotron radiation field, as well as the high probability of a bremsstrahlung photon in each bunch crossing, posed new experimental constraints. In this report, we describe how these challenges were met with the ZEUS luminosity spectrometer system. The design, testing and commissioning of the device are described, and the results from the initial operational experience are reported.

title: Measurement of prompt photons with associated jets in photoproduction at HERA
abstract: The photoproduction of prompt photons, together with an accompanying jet, has been studied in ep collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 318 GeV with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 77 pb-1. Cross sections were measured for the transverse energy of the photon and the jet larger than 5 and 6 GeV, respectively. The differential γ+jet cross sections were reconstructed as functions of the transverse energy, pseudorapidity and xγobs, the fraction of the incoming photon momentum taken by the photon-jet system. Predictions based on leading-logarithm parton-shower Monte Carlo models and next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD generally underestimate the cross sections for the transverse energies of prompt photons below 7 GeV, while the kT-factorisation QCD calculation agrees with the data better. When the minimum transverse energy of prompt photons is increased to 7 GeV, both NLO QCD and the kT-factorisation calculations are in good agreement with the data.

title: Measurement of azimuthal asymmetries in neutral current deep inelastic scattering at HERA
abstract: The distribution of the azimuthal angle of charged and neutral hadrons relative to the lepton plane has been studied for neutral current deep inelastic ep scattering using an integrated luminosity of 45 pb-1 taken with the ZEUS detector. The kinematic range is 100<Q2<8000 GeV2, 0.2<y<0.8 and 0.01<x<0.1 where Q2 is the virtuality of the exchanged boson, y is the inelasticity and x is the Bjorken variable. The measurements were made in the hadronic centre-of-mass system. The analysis exploits the energy-flow method, which allows the measurement to be made over a larger range of pseudorapidity compared to previous results. The dependence of the moments of the azimuthal distributions on the pseudorapidity and minimum transverse energy of the final-state hadrons are presented. Although the predictions from next-to-leading-order QCD describe the data better than do the Monte Carlo models incorporating leading-logarithm parton showers, they still fail to describe the magnitude of the asymmetries. This suggests that higher-order calculations may be necessary to describe these data.

title: Measurements of the line shapes of D anti-D production and the ratio of the production rates of D+ D- and D0 anti-D0 in e+ e- annihilation at psi(3770) resonance
abstract: We report measurements of the line shapes of D + D − , D 0 D ¯ 0 and D D ¯ production as well as the line shape of the ratio of the production rates of D + D − and D 0 D ¯ 0 in e + e − annihilation at ψ ( 3770 ) resonance. We find that the line shapes of D + D − , D 0 D ¯ 0 and D D ¯ production are similar to an anomalous line shape of cross sections for e + e − → hadrons observed in the center-of-mass energy range from 3.70 to 3.87 GeV.

title: beta-decay rates of neutron-rich Zr and Mo isotopes in the deformed quasiparticle random-phase approximation with realistic interactions
abstract: The beta(-)-decay rates of neutron-rich Zr and Mo isotopes are investigated within the deformed quasiparticle random-phase approximation with realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions. Axially symmetric deformations are considered in the calculations from a mean-field description of a quasiparticle picture and of both particle-hole and particle-particle excitations. The Bruckner G matrix obtained with charge-dependent Bonn nucleon-nucleon forces is employed for residual particle-particle and particle-hole interactions. Contributions from both allowed Gammow-Teller and first-forbidden transitions are calculated and the sensitivity of the calculated results to the particle-particle strength is discussed. The calculated beta-decay half-lives show a good agreement with the available experimental data. Moreover, predictions of beta-decay half-lives are made for some extremely neutron-rich isotopes, which could be useful for future experiments.

title: Structure of 8Li from a reaction cross-section measurement
abstract: We have precisely measured reaction cross sections (sigma(R)) for Li-8 using Be-9, C-12, Al-27, and proton targets at intermediate energies by the transmission method. From the energy dependence of the sigma(R) including the high energy data, the density distribution of Li-8 was deduced through a modified Glauber model. It is shown that Li-8 has a shorter tail structure in the density as compared with that of B-8 and the matter radius of Li-8 is similar to those of the other nonhalo Li isotopes. The result is consistent with the previous experiments that there is a tendency for Li-8 to be a skin nucleus.

title: Search for Invisible Decays of eta and eta-prime in the Processes J/psi ---> phi eta and phi eta-prime
abstract: Using a data sample of 58x10{sup 6} J/{psi} decays collected with the Beijing Spectrometer II detector at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider, searches for invisible decays of {eta} and {eta}{sup '} in J/{psi} to {phi}{eta} and {phi}{eta}{sup '} are performed. The {phi} signals, which are reconstructed in K{sup +}K{sup -} final states, are used to tag the {eta} and {eta}{sup '} decays. No signals are found for the invisible decays of either {eta} or {eta}{sup '}, and upper limits at the 90% confidence level are determined to be 1.65x10{sup -3} for the ratio (B({eta}{yields}invisible)/B({eta}{yields}{gamma}{gamma})) and 6.69x10{sup -2} for (B({eta}{sup '}{yields}invisible)/B({eta}{sup '}{yields}{gamma}{gamma})). These are the first searches for {eta} and {eta}{sup '} decays into invisible final states.
