On the free field resolutions for coset conformal field theories
We obtain a resolution of (generically irreducible) highest-weight modules for coset conformal field theories G/H in terms of free field Fock spaces, by projection of the free field resolutions of Ĝ. We apply the resolution to calculate the characters of some G/H models, including the G-parafermions and G × G/G models. In this way we obtain, for example, explicit expressions for all Kac-Peterson string functions.

title: Covariant field theory of the compactified closed bosonic string
abstract: We covariantly first-quantize, via the BRST approach, the closed bosonic string compactified on a torus — in particular the 18-dimensional theory with E8 × E8 gauge bosons. Further, we give the corresponding free field theory. Thus the model is ready for the introduction of string interactions, and may be very useful for the study of gauge interactions in string theories.

title: BV Structure of the Cohomology of Nilpotent Subalgebras and the Geometry of(W) Strings
abstract: AbstractGiven a simple, simply laced, complex Lie algebra 
$$\mathfrak{g}$$
corresponding to the Lie group G, let 
$$\mathfrak{n}_ + $$
 be thesubalgebra generated by the positive roots. In this Letter we construct aBV algebra 
$${\text{BV}}[\mathfrak{g}]$$
 whose underlying graded commutative algebra is given by the cohomology, with respect to 
$$\mathfrak{n}_ + $$
, of the algebra of regular functions on G with values in 
$$ \wedge (\mathfrak{n}_ + \backslash \mathfrak{g})$$
. We conjecture that 
$${\text{BV}}[\mathfrak{g}]$$
 describes the algebra of allphysical (i.e., BRST invariant) operators of the noncritical 
$$\mathcal{W}[\mathfrak{g}]$$
string. The conjecture is verified in the two explicitly known cases,
$$\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}$$
2 (the Virasoro string) and 
$$\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}$$
3 (the 
$$\mathcal{W}_3 $$
 string).

title: Fusing the coordinates of quantum superspace
abstract: We introduce the notion of a fused quantum superplane by allowing for terms θθ ∼ x in the defining relations. We develop the differential calculus for a large class of fused quantum superplanes related to particular solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation.

title: Minimal models on Riemann surfaces
abstract: We extend the Coulomb gas representation of minimal model correlation functions to higher genius Riemann surfaces. Specifically, we incorporate the “BRS” structure of this representation into the operator formalism. This allows traces over the spectrum of a minimal model to be computed from traces over Fock spaces of a free scalar field. This our results are obtained by standard sewing techniques. The formulation is general, but we present here in particular the two-loop characters of the Ising model.

title: Excitation of low lying natural parity levels in /sup 208/Pb by inelastic electron scattering
abstract: High resolution electron scattering measurements on /sup 208/Pb have been performed at 90/sup 0/ and 160/sup 0/ which allow the spatial reconstruction of transition charge densities and for the first time, transition current densities. The measurement covering the momentum transfer range of 0.5

title: Basic instrumentation for Hall A at Jefferson Lab
abstract: The instrumentation in Hall A at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility was designed to study electro-and photo-induced reactions at very high luminosity and good momentum and angular resolution for at least one of the reaction products. The central components of Hall A are two identical high resolution spectrometers, which allow the vertical drift chambers in the focal plane to provide a momentum resolution of better than 2 x 10(-4). A variety of Cherenkov counters, scintillators and lead-glass calorimeters provide excellent particle identification. The facility has been operated successfully at a luminosity well in excess of 10(38) CM-2 s(-1). The research program is aimed at a variety of subjects, including nucleon structure functions, nucleon form factors and properties of the nuclear medium.

title: The TEV I Beam Position Monitor System
abstract: The TeV I Beam Position Monitor System is described. This system is designed to provide accurate orbit information during both the commissioning and operational phases of the Fermilab Antiproton Source. The system is required to provide position information with submillimeter resolution for both single turn orbit measurements with beam intensities in the range 1×109 to 1×1011, and multiple turn (closed orbit) measurements with beam intensities in the range 1×107 to 5×1011. The system has already been used during commissioning of the Debuncher to measure the first turn through the ring, the horizontal and vertical betatron tunes, the closed orbit, the dispersion, aperture, and chromaticity. During normal antiproton operation the system will be used to monitor beam position throughout the accumulation process.

title: A solid polarized target for high-luminosity experiments
abstract: We have built a polarized proton and deuteron target for experiments using intense high-energy electron beams. This system exploits dynamical nuclear polarization of irradiated ammonia in a 5 T magnetic field at temperatures near 1 K. We describe the various features and the performance of the target.

title: Measurement of the resonant and CP components in $\overline{B}^0\to J/\psi \pi^+\pi^-$ decays
abstract: The resonant structure of the reaction $\overline{B}^0\rightarrow J/\psi \pi^+\pi^-$ is studied using data from 3 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected by the LHCb experiment, one-third at 7 Tev center-of-mass energy and the remainder at 8 Tev. The invariant mass of the $\pi^+\pi^-$ pair and three decay angular distributions are used to determine the fractions of the resonant and non-resonant components. Six interfering $\pi^+\pi^-$ states: $\rho(770)$, $f_0(500)$, $f_2(1270)$, $\rho(1450)$, $\omega(782)$ and $\rho(1700)$ are required to give a good description of invariant mass spectra and decay angular distributions. The positive and negative CP fractions of each of the resonant final states are determined. The $f_0(980)$ meson is not seen and the upper limit on its presence, compared with the observed $f_0(500)$ rate, is inconsistent with a model of tetraquark substructure for these scalar mesons at the eight standard deviation level. In the $q\overline{q}$ model, the absolute value of the mixing angle between the $f_0(980)$ and the $f_0(500)$ scalar mesons is limited to be less than $17^{\circ}$ at 90% confidence level.
