A large acceptance, high-resolution detector for rare K+-decay experiments
The detector of the E865-collaboration at the Brookhaven-AGS described here combines a magnetic spectrometer for the charged decay products of 6 GeV /c K + with excellent electromagnetic calorimetry and efficient particle identification for electrons and muons. Its high-resolution, large acceptance and high rate capability made it well suited for the study of extremely rare or forbidden decays with multi-leptonic final states such as K + →π + μ + e − , K + →π + l + l − , K + → l + ν l e − e + and K + →π + π − e + ν e down to branching ratios below 10 −11 in an intense K + beam (≈10 8 per AGS spill).

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: Search for the rare decays J/psi ---> D-(s) e+ nu(e), J/psi ---> anti-D0 e+ e-
abstract: We report on a search for the decays J / ψ → D s − e + ν e + c.c. , J / ψ → D − e + ν e + c.c. , and J / ψ → D 0 ¯ e + e − + c.c. in a sample of 5.8 × 10 7 J / ψ events collected with the BESII detector at the BEPC. No excess of signal above background is observed, and 90% confidence level upper limits on the branching fractions are set: B ( J / ψ → D s − e + ν e + c.c. ) 4.9 × 10 −5 , B ( J / ψ → D − e + ν e + c.c. ) 1.2 × 10 −5 , and B ( J / ψ → D 0 ¯ e + e − + c.c. ) 1.1 × 10 −5 .

title: Measurement of the final states omega pi0, rho eta, and rho eta prime from psi (2S) electromagnetic decays and e+e- annihilations
abstract: Cross sections and form factors for $\ee \to \wpi$, $\rho\eta$, and $\rho\etap$ at center of mass energies of 3.650, 3.686, and 3.773 GeV are measured using data samples collected with the BESII detector at the BEPC. Also, the branching fractions of $\psi(2S) \rar \wpi$, $\rho\eta$, and $\rho\etap$ are determined to be $(1.87^{+0.68}_{-0.62}\pm0.28)\times 10^{-5}$, $(1.78^{+0.67}_{-0.62}\pm0.17)\times 10^{-5}$, and $(1.87^{+1.64}_{-1.11}\pm0.33)\times10^{-5}$, respectively.

title: Interference between initial and final state radiation in a QCD medium
abstract: We investigate the color coherence pattern between initial and final state radiation in the presence of a QCD medium. We derive the medium-induced gluon spectrum of an “asymptotic” parton which suffers a hard scattering and subsequently crosses the medium. The angular distribution of the induced gluon spectrum is modified when one includes interference terms between the incoming and the outgoing parton at finite angle between them. The coherent, incoherent and soft limits of the medium-induced gluon spectrum are studied. In the soft limit, we provide a simple and intuitive probabilistic picture which could be of interest for Monte Carlo implementations. The configuration studied here may have phenomenological consequences in high-energy nuclear collisions.

title: Observation of the decay $\psi(3686)$ $\rightarrow$ $\Lambda\bar\Sigma^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}+c.c.$
abstract: Using a sample of $1.06\times10^{8}$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we present the first observation of the decays of $\psi(3686)$ $\rightarrow$ $\Lambda\bar\Sigma^{+}\pi^{-}+c.c.$ and $\psi(3686)$ $\rightarrow$ $\Lambda\bar\Sigma^{-}\pi^{+}+c.c.$. The branching fractions are measured to be $\mathcal{B}(\psi(3686) \rightarrow \Lambda\bar\Sigma^{+}\pi^{-} + c.c.)=(1.40\pm 0.03 \pm 0.13)\times10^{-4}$ and $\mathcal{B}(\psi(3686) \rightarrow \Lambda\bar\Sigma^{-}\pi^{+}+c.c.)=(1.54\pm 0.04 \pm 0.13)\times10^{-4}$, where the first errors are statistical and the second ones systematic.
