A Study of time dependent CP violating asymmetries in $B^0 \to J/\psi K^0_{s}$ and $B^0 \to \psi_{2S} K^0_{s}$ decays
We present a preliminary measurement of time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries in B0 -> J/psi K0S and B0 -> psi(2S) K0S decays recorded by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. The data sample consists of 9.0 fb-1 collected at the Y(4S) resonance and 0.8 fb-1 off-resonance. One of the neutral B mesons, produced in pairs at the Y(4S), is fully reconstructed. The flavor of the other neutral B meson is tagged at the time of its decay, mainly with the charge of identified leptons and kaons. A neural network tagging algorithm is used to recover events without a clear lepton or kaon tag. The time difference between the decays is determined by measuring the distance between the decay vertices. Wrong-tag probabilities and the time resolution function are measured with samples of fully-reconstructed semileptonic and hadronic neutral B final states. The value of the asymmetry amplitude, sin2beta, is determined from a maximum likelihood fit to the time distribution of 120 tagged B0 -> J/psi K0S and B0 -> psi(2S) K0S candidates to be sin2beta = 0.12+/-0.37 (stat) +/- 0.09 (syst) (preliminary).

title: First observation of CP violation and improved measurement of the branching fraction and polarization of B0→D*+D*− decays
abstract: We report the measurement of the branching fraction, the polarization, and the parameters of the time-dependent CP violation in B-0 -> D*(+) D*(-) decays using a data sample of 772 x 10(6)B (B) over bar pairs, collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) collider. We obtain a branching fraction of B = (7.82 +/- 0.38 +/- 0.63) x 10(-4), a CP-odd fraction of R-perpendicular to = 0.138 +/- 0.024 +/- 0.006 and, additionally, a fraction of the longitudinal component in the transversity base of R-0 = 0.624 +/- 0.029 +/- 0.011. The measured values of the parameters of the CP violation are SD*+ D*- = 0.79 +/- 0.13 +/- 0.03 and A(D*+ D*-) 0.15 +/- 0.08 +/- 0.04.

title: Search for T, CP, and CPT violation in B0-B0 mixing with inclusive dilepton events.
abstract: We report the results of a search for T, CP, CPT, and violation in B0-B0 mixing using an inclusive dilepton sample collected by the BABAR experiment at the PEP-II factory. Using a sample of 232 x 10(6) BB pairs, we measure the T and CP violation parameter |q/p| - 1 = (-0.8 +/- 2.7(stat) +/- 1.9(syst) x 10(-3), and the CPT and CP parameters Imz = (13.9 +/- 7.3(stat) +/- 3.2(syst)) x 10(-3) and Delta Gamma x Rez = (7.1 +/- 3.9(stat) +/- 2.0(stat)) x 10(-3) ps(-1). The statistical correlation between the measurements of Imz and Delta Gamma x Rez is 76%.

title: Observation of $J/\psi \rightarrow p\bar{p}a_{0}(980)$ at BESIII
abstract: Using $2.25\times10^{8}$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage rings, we observe for the first time the process $J/\psi\rightarrow p\bar{p}a_{0}(980)$, $a_{0}(980)\rightarrow \pi^{0}\eta$ with a significance of $6.5\sigma$ ($3.2\sigma$ including systematic uncertainties). The product branching fraction of $J/\psi\rightarrow p\bar{p}a_{0}(980)\rightarrow p\bar{p}\pi^{0}\eta$ is measured to be $(6.8\pm1.2\pm1.3)\times 10^{-5}$, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. This measurement provides information on the $a_{0}$ production near threshold coupling to $p\bar{p}$ and improves the understanding of the dynamics of $J/\psi$ decays to four body processes.

title: Physics at BES-III
abstract: This physics book provides detailed discussions on important topics in $\tau$-charm physics that will be explored during the next few years at \bes3 . Both theoretical and experimental issues are covered, including extensive reviews of recent theoretical developments and experimental techniques. Among the subjects covered are: innovations in Partial Wave Analysis (PWA), theoretical and experimental techniques for Dalitz-plot analyses, analysis tools to extract absolute branching fractions and measurements of decay constants, form factors, and CP-violation and \DzDzb-oscillation parameters. Programs of QCD studies and near-threshold tau-lepton physics measurements are also discussed.

title: Strange hadronic matter in an effective model
abstract: Strange hadronic matter with nucleons, Λ-hyperon and Ξ-hyperon is studied using an effective model in the mean-field approximation. The density dependence of the effective baryon masses as well as the saturation properties and stabilities of the strange hadronic matter are discussed.

title: Thermodynamical properties of nuclear matter in a model with vector meson self-interaction
abstract: The relativistic model with vector meson self-interaction (Bodmer A R 1991  A 526 703) is extended to asymmetric nuclear matter at finite temperature. The extended model is then used to discuss the liquid-gas phase transition in nuclear matter and the Coulomb instability of hot nuclei. It is found that the limiting temperature and the critical temperature depend on the parameter sets of this model considerably. The role the meson plays in asymmetric nuclear matter is also examined.

title: Franck‐Condon principle for heavy‐quark hadron decays
abstract: The Franck‐Condon principle governing molecular electronic transitions is utilized to study heavy‐quark hadron decays. This provides a direct assessment of the wavefunction of the parent hadron if the momentum distribution of the open‐flavor decay products is measured. Model‐independent results include an experimental distinction between quarkonium and exotica (hybrids, tetraquarks…), an off‐plane correlator signature for tetraquarks and a direct probe of the sea quark orbital wavefunction relevant in the discussion of 3S1 or 3P0 decay mechanisms.

title: Strange magnetic form factor of the nucleon in a chiral effective model at next to leading order
abstract: The strange magnetic form factor of the nucleon is studied in a chiral effective model motivated by the heavy baryon formalism at next-to-leading order. The one-loop contributions from kaon and intermediate octet and decuplet hyperons are included, using finite-range regularization to deal with the ultraviolet divergences. Drawing on an established connection between quenched and full QCD, this model makes it possible to predict the strange magnetic form factor under the hypothesis that for a dipole regulator mass. around 0.8 GeV, strangeness in the core is negligible. The strange magnetic form factor is found to be small and negative over a range of momentum transfer, while the strange magnetic moment is consistent with the best lattice QCD determinations.

title: Primary proton flux around the "knee" region deduced from the observation of air showers accompanied by gamma families
abstract: The simultaneous observation of -families and accompanied air showers enables us to obtain the primary proton flux around the knee energy region where no direct measurements are available up to now. We operated a hy- brid experiment which consists of emulsion chambers and the Tibet-II air-shower array (AS) at Yangbajing (4,300 m a.s.l., 606 g/cm ) in 1996-1999. The total area of emulsion chamber (EC) and burst detector (BD) complex was 80 m and they were set up near the center of the Tibet-II air-shower array. We already published the primary proton flux in the energy region ranging from eV to eV using the BD and AS data. We used an artificial neural network to select the proton-induced events from the EC data set. The proton fluxes obtained from this experiment are presented in the knee energy region. Our result suggests that the primary becomes heavy dominant in the knee energy region.
