A time expansion chamber as a vertex detector for the experiment mark j at desy
The design and results from a beam test for a small vertex detector, now installed in the DESY MARK J experiment, are presented. The concept of this drift chamber is based on the time expansion principle with readout planes inclined to solve the left-right ambiguity. A spatial resolution of 35 μm, varying weakly as a function of drift length and azimuthal angle, has been achieved.

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: 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: Measurements of the continuum R(uds) and R values in e(+)e(-) annihilation in the energy region between 3.650 and 3.872 GeV.
abstract: We report measurements of the continuum R(uds) near the center-of-mass energy of 3.70 GeV, the R[uds(c)+psi(3770)](s) and the R(had)(s) values in e(+)e(-) annihilation at 68 energy points in the energy region between 3.650 and 3.872 GeV with the BES-II detector at the BEPC Collider. We obtain the R(uds) for the continuum light hadron (containing u, d, and s quarks) production near the DD threshold to be R(uds)=2.141+/-0.025+/-0.085.

title: Recent Results at BESIII
abstract: The BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII e+e− collider collected 2.25 × 108J/ψ events, 1.06 × 108 ψ(3686) events, 2.9 fb−1 data at $${\sqrt s}$$ = 3.773 GeV and 477 pb−1 data at $${\sqrt s}$$ = 4.01 GeV, respectively, by the end of 2011. We report some recent results on light hadron spectroscopy, charmonium spectroscopy and charm physics, which are obtained by analyses of these data.

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.

title: BESII detector simulation
abstract: A Monte Carlo program based on GEANT3 has been developed for BESII detector simulation. The organization of the program is outlined, and the digitization procedure for simulating the response of various sub-detectors is described. Comparisons with data show that the performance of the program is generally satisfactory.
