Model calculation of nucleon structure functions
Deep inelastic polarized and unpolarized structure functions for a free nucleon are obtained in a modified center-of-mass bag model, which includes the symmetry-breaking effects from spin-dependent interactions. The quark distribution functions, calculated at [ital Q][sub 0][sup 2][congruent](0.9 GeV/[ital c])[sup 2], are evolved to a higher [ital Q][sup 2] region and compared with the data and other models. The model gives a reasonable description for the valence part of the structure functions at [ital x][gt]0.3. For the small-[ital x] region, the contributions from the sea are necessary. The spin-dependent effects are important in describing the existing 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: Computer Modeling of Internal Targets in Electron Storage Rings
abstract: The effect of thin (1-50 ¿gm/cm2) internal targets on beam quality in electron storage rings is evaluated. The internal target is modeled assuming that scattering is the result of elastic collisions between the beam electrons and the target nuclei. A screened coulomb potential is used and single and plural scattering mechanisms are included. A storage ring particle tracking code, DIMAT, was modified to include the internal target model and used to obtain the results discussed. Beam particle loss distributions and beam envelope "growth times" are given and discussed in light of damping mechanisms inherent in electron storage ring designs.

title: Off-shell effects in quasielastic electron nucleus scattering
abstract: Using the Ward-Takahashi identity, on-shell condition, bound Dirac equation and off-shell expansion, a reduced version of half off-shell virtual photon nucleon vertex has been suggested. The vertex are decomposed into several different order terms: the on-shell terms, first and second off-shell terms. The off-shell behaviour of the form factors is discussed in the one meson loop model. Using the reduced vertex and parametrized off-shell form factors the quasielastic response functions are calculated for several nuclei at ¦q¦–kf and for56Fe at large ¦q¦ up to 1.14 GeV/c and at −q2=0.9 (GeV/c)2. The Coulomb sums are evaluated and a comparison of the theoretical prediction with data is given. The off-shell electron nucleon cross section is calculated and compared with the “cc1” off-shell extrapolation.

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: Searches for violation of lepton flavour and baryon number in tau lepton decays at LHCb
abstract: Searches for the lepton flavour violating decay tau(-) -> mu(-)mu(+)mu(-) and the lepton flavour and baryon number violating decays tau(-) -> (p) over bar mu(+)mu(-) and tau(-) -> p mu(-)mu(-) have been carried out using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb(-1), taken by the LHCb experiment at root s = 7 TeV. No evidence has been found for any signal, and limits have been set at 90% confidence level on the branching fractions: B(tau(-) -> mu(-)mu(+)mu(-) mu(+)mu(-)) p mu(-)mu(-)) (p) over bar mu(+)mu(-) and tau(-) -> p mu(-)mu(-) decay modes represent the first direct experimental limits on these channels.

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: 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.

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: Very High Precision Current Regulated Power Supplies for the Fermilab Antiproton Source
abstract: These Power Supplies were designed to power the accumulator and debuncher storage rings at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory Antiproton Source. The accumulator and debuncher are both large acceptance 8 GeV storage rings. The accumulator ring has the most stringent requirements since it will be required to store beams for periods in excess of twenty four (24) hours. In order to ensure long term beam stability, resonances up to order eleven (11) must be avoided. Because of this stringent tuned stability requirement, the power supplies which power the three main quadrupole and the main dipole busses must be extremely stable. Thus the current regulation specification for these power supplies is 10 PPM (0.001%) including differential and common mode ripple, long term drift, and line and load regulation.
