title: The Spin dependent structure function g1(x) of the deuteron from polarized deep inelastic muon scattering
abstract: We present a new measurement of the virtual photon proton asymmetry A 1 p from deep inelastic scattering of polarized muons on polarized protons in the kinematic range 0.0008 x Q 2 2 . With this, the statistical uncertainty of our measurement has improved by a factor of 2 compared to our previous measurements. The spin-dependent structure function g 1 p is determined for the data with Q 2 > 1 GeV 2 . A perturbative QCD evolution in next-to-leading order is used to determine g 1 p ( x ) at a constant Q 2 . At Q 2 = 10 GeV 2 we find, in the measured range, ∫ 0.003 0.7 g 1 P (x) d x=0.139±0.006 ( stat ) ±0.008 ( syst ) ±0.006( evol ) . The value of the first moment Г 1 P = ∫ 0 1 g 1 p (x) d x of g 1 p depends on the approach used to describe the behaviour of g 1 p at low x . We find that the Ellis-Jaffe sum rule is violated. With our published result for Γ 1 d we confirm the Bjorken sum rule with an accuracy of ≈ 15% at the one standard deviation level.

title: Electromagnetic structure of the helium isotopes
abstract: The elastic-electron scattering cross sections from $^{3}\mathrm{He}$ and $^{4}\mathrm{He}$ have been measured at incident electron energies between 170 and 750 MeV. Cross sections were separated into their longitudinal (charge) and transverse (magnetic) contributions using the Rosenbluth formula. Values of the $^{3}\mathrm{He}$ charge form factor have been extracted to ${q}^{2}=20$ ${\mathrm{fm}}^{\ensuremath{-}2}$ and for the $^{3}\mathrm{He}$ magnetic form factor to ${q}^{2}=16$ ${\mathrm{fm}}^{\ensuremath{-}2}$. The $^{4}\mathrm{He}$ form factor has been determined up to 6.2 ${\mathrm{fm}}^{\ensuremath{-}2}$. Densities for the charge and magnetization have been deduced from phenomenological models used in a phase-shift solution of the Dirac equation. A model-independent determination of the nuclear densities has been performed in order to obtain realistic errors on the extracted distributions. After unfolding the nucleon size from the distributions the point density is shown to have a significant central depression for a radius 0.8 fm for both $^{3}\mathrm{He}$ and $^{4}\mathrm{He}$. Comparison of the form factors is made with Faddeev and variational three-body calculations that use realistic two-body $\mathrm{NN}$ interactions. The influence of off-shell effects, three-body forces, meson-exchange corrections, and short-range correlations are discussed. At present no theoretical calculation that uses input derived entirely from nucleon-nucleon scattering is able to reproduce the experimental data.

title: Pion-helium scattering above the (3,3) resonance
abstract: Differential cross sections are reported for ..pi../sup +/+/sup 3,4/He elastic scattering at 260, 295, and 310 MeV and ..pi../sup -/+/sup 3,4/He at 295 MeV. The angular distributions )except for ..pi../sup -/+/sup 3/He) confirm the fixed angle (thetaapprox. =75/sup 0/) minimum seen at lower energies (caused by the (3,3) ..pi..+N resonance dominance) and show a deep minimum at thetaapprox. =110/sup 0/. Comparisons are made to ..pi..+d and the current discussion of pion excitation of intermediate dibaryon and ..delta..N states.

title: CEBAF — a high energy, high duty factor electron accelerator for nuclear physics☆
abstract: The Nuclear Science Advisory Committee has recommended the construction of the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) as proposed by the Southeastern Universities Research Association (SURA), a consortium of more than thirty institutions in the southeastern United States. The accelerator will be capable of delivering intense (Iave > 100 μA), quasi-continuous (duty Factor > 90%) beams of electrons with energies up to 4.8 GeV. Short (1.2 μs), intense (Ipk = 200 mA) pulses of electrons will be accelerated by passing twice through a conventional pulsed linac. The pulses then will be injected into and stored in a pulse stretcher ring, the circumference of which is close to the length of the electron pulse. During the period between pulses (1ms) the stored electrons will be extracted to yield a high duty factor beam. Delivery of arbitrarily polarized beams will be possible. Experimental facilities will include three end stations. Two will be used for experiments utilizing the primary electron beam; the third will serve as a tagged photon facility.

title: Observation of the resonant character of the Z(4430)(-) state.
abstract: Resonant structures in B^{0}→ψ^{'}π^{-}K^{+} decays are analyzed by performing a four-dimensional fit of the decay amplitude, using pp collision data corresponding to 3  fb^{-1} collected with the LHCb detector. The data cannot be described with K^{+}π^{-} resonances alone, which is confirmed with a model-independent approach. A highly significant Z(4430)^{-}→ψ^{'}π^{-} component is required, thus confirming the existence of this state. The observed evolution of the Z(4430)^{-} amplitude with the ψ^{'}π^{-} mass establishes the resonant nature of this particle. The mass and width measurements are substantially improved. The spin parity is determined unambiguously to be 1^{+}.

title: Amplitude analysis and the branching fraction measurement of $\bar{B}^0_s \to J/\psi K^+K^-$
abstract: An amplitude analysis of the final state structure in the Bs0→J/ψK+K- decay mode is performed using 1.0  fb-1 of data collected by the LHCb experiment in 7 TeV center-of-mass energy pp collisions produced by the LHC. A modified Dalitz plot analysis of the final state is performed using both the invariant mass spectra and the decay angular distributions. Resonant structures are observed in the K+K- mass spectrum as well as a significant non-resonant S-wave contribution over the entire K+K- mass range. The largest resonant component is the ϕ(1020), accompanied by f0(980), f2′(1525), and four additional resonances. The overall branching fraction is measured to be B(Bs0→J/ψK+K-)=(7.70±0.08±0.39±0.60)×10-4, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic, and the third due to the ratio of the number of Bs0 to B- mesons produced. The mass and width of the f2′(1525) are measured to be 1522.2±2.8-2.0+5.3  MeV and 84±6-5+10  MeV, respectively. The final state fractions of the other resonant states are also reported.

title: Observation of a resonance in $B^+ \to K^+ \mu^+\mu^-$ decays at low recoil
abstract: A broad peaking structure is observed in the dimuon spectrum of $B^+ \to K^+ \mu^+\mu^-$ decays in the kinematic region where the kaon has a low recoil against the dimuon system. The structure is consistent with interference between the $B^+ \to K^+ \mu^+\mu^-$ decay and a resonance and has a statistical significance exceeding six standard deviations. The mean and width of the resonance are measured to be $4191^{+9}_{-8}\mathrm{\,Me\kern -0.1em V/}c^2$ and $65^{+22}_{-16}\mathrm{\,Me\kern -0.1em V/}c^2$, respectively, where the uncertainties include statistical and systematic contributions. These measurements are compatible with the properties of the $\psi(4160)$ meson. First observations of both the decay $B^+ \to \psi(4160) K^+$ and the subsequent decay $\psi(4160) \to \mu^+\mu^-$ are reported. The resonant decay and the interference contribution make up 20\,% of the yield in the low recoil region, which is larger than theoretical estimates.
