Precise measurement of the e^＋e^- →π^＋π^-（γ） cross section with the initial state radiation method at BABAR

We present a precise BABAR measurement on the cross section of the process e^＋e^- →π^＋π^-（γ） from threshold to an energy of 3 GeV with the initial state radiation （ISR） technique, using 232 fb^-1 of data collected with the BABAR detector at e^＋e^- center-of-mass energies near 10.58 GeV. The ISR luminosity is determined from a study of the leptonic process e^＋e^- →μ^＋μ^-γ（γ）. The leading-order hadronic contribution to the muon magnetic anomaly calculated using the ππ cross section measured from threshold to 1.8 GeV is （514.1± 2.2（stat） ± 3.1（syst）） × 10^-10.

Improved measurement of electron antineutrinodisappearance at Daya Bay

We report an improved measurement of the neutrino mixing angle θ₁₃ from the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment. We exclude a zero value for sin² θ₁₃ with a significance of 7.7 standard deviations. Electron antineutrinos from six reactors of 2.9 GW_th were detected in six antineutrino detectors deployed in two near （flux-weighted baselines of 470 m and 576 m） and one far （1648 m） underground experimental halls. Using 139 days of data, 28909 （205308） electron antineutrino candidates were detected at the far hall （near halls）. The ratio of the observed to the expected number of antineutrinos assuming no oscillations at the far hall is 0.944±0.007（stat.）±0.003（syst.）. An analysis of the relative rates in six detectors finds sin² θ₁₃ =0.089±0.010（stat.）±0.005（syst.） in a three-neutrino framework.

Hadronic Decays of the Spin-Singlet Heavy Quarkomium under the Principle of Maximum Conformality

The principle of maximum conformality （PMC） provides a way to eliminate the conventional renormalization scale ambiguity in a systematic way. By applying the PMC scale setting, all non-conformal terms in a perturbative series are summed into the running coupling, and one obtains a unique, scale-fixed prediction at any finite order. In this study, we make a detailed PMC analysis for the spin-singlet heavy quarkoniums decay （into light hadrons） at the next-to-leading order. After applying the PMC scale setting, the decay widths for all those cases are ahnost independent of the initial renormalization scales. The PMC scales for ηc and he decays are below 1 GeV; to achieve a confidential pQCD estimation, we adopt several low-energy running coupling models to carry out the estimation. By taking the MPT model, we obtain Г（ηc → LH） = 25.09 -4.28^＋5.52 MeV, F（ηb →LH） 14.34-0.84^＋0.92 feV, Г（hc →LH） = 0.54-0.04^＋0.06 MeV and Г（hb →LH） = 39.89-0.46^＋0.28 keV, where the errors are calculated by taking mc E[1.4OGeV, 1.60GeV] and mb C[4.50GeV, 4.70GeV]. These decay widths agree with the principle of minimum sensitivity estimations, in which the decay widths of ηc,b are also consistent with the measured ones.     

Observation of a p^-p mass threshold enhancement in ψ′→ π 〉＋π^-J/ψ（J/ψ 〉 γp^-p） decay

The decay channel ψ′→ π 〉＋π^-J/ψ（J/ψ 〉 γp^-p） is studied using a sample of 1.06 × 10^8 ψ′ events collected by the BESIII experiment at BEPCII. A strong enhancement at threshold is observed in the p^-p invariant mass spectrum. The enhancement can be fitted with an S-wave Breit-Wigner resonance function with a resulting peak mass of M = 1861-13^＋6 （stat）-26^＋7 （syst） MeV/c^2 and a narrow width that is Г 〈 38 MeV/c^2 at the 90% confidence level. These results are consistent with published BESII results. These mass and width values do not match with well established mesons.

Measurement of the pion form factor for Mππ^2 between 0.1 and 0.85 GeV2 with the KLOE detector

The KLOE experiment at the φ-factory DAФPNE has measured the pion form factor in the range between 0.1 〈 Mππ^2 〈 0.85 GeV^2 using events taken at √s = 1 GeV with a photon emitted at large polar angles in the initial state. This measurement extends the Mππ^2 region covered by KLOE ISR measurements of the pion form factor down to the two pion production threshold. The value obtained in this measurement of the dipion contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment of △αμ^ππ= （478.5±2-0stat±4.8syst±2.9theo）·10^-10 further confirms the discrepancy between the Standard Model evaluation for αμ and the experimental value measured by the （g-2） collaboration at BNL.

Tunnelling Effect of Two Horizons from a Gibbons--Maeda Black Hole

We study the thermal characters of the inner horizon of a Gibbons-Maeda black hole. In order to satisfy the Nernst theorem of the third law, the entropy of the black hole with two horizons must depend not only on the area of the outer horizon but also on the area of the inner horizon. Then the temperature of the inner horizon is calculated. Lastly, the tunnelling effect including the inner horizon of a Gibbons-Maeda black hole is investigated. We also calculate the tunnelling rate of the outer horizon Г＋ and the inner horizon Г_. The total tunnelling rate Г should be the product of the rates of the outer and inner horizon, Г =Г＋ · Г_. It is found that the total tunnelling rate is in agreement with the Parikh＇s standard result, Г→ exp（ ASBH ）, and there is no information loss.

The decay properties of the D and D s mesons are computed in a nonrelativistic phenomenological quark-antiquark potential of the type V （r） =-4 /3 α s /r＋ Ar ν with different choices of ν.Numerical method to solve the Schrdinger equation has been used to obtain the spectroscopy of qQ mesons.The numerically obtained radial solutions are employed to obtain the decay constant and leptonic decay widths.It has been observed that predictions of the ground state masses and the decay widths are consistent with other model predictions as well as with the known experimental values.     

ηb decay into charmonium in association with cc pair

We calculate the inclusive decay rates of ηb into charmonium via double c~ pairs for S- and P-wave states ηc, J/ψ and XcJ within the framework of non-relativistic QCD （NRQCD） factorization at leading order in αs. Besides calculating the contributions of the color-singlet channels ηb → cc[2s＋1SL^（1）]＋cc, the effects of cc pair in the color-octet configurations are also considered. We find that ηb → cc[3S1^（8）] ＋cc make a small contribution to Br（ηb →J/ψ（ηc）＋cc）. While in the ηb →XcJ ＋cc case, the color octet contributions are significant, for they are of the same a 5 order as the color-singlet processes. We predict Br（ηb →J/ψ（ηc）＋cc） = 2.99（2.75） × 10^-5 Vc for S-wave states J/ψ and ηc, and Br（ηb → XcJ ＋cc） = （4.37, 3.40, 2.83） × 10^-5 （for J = 0,1, 2） for P-wave states XcJ. In the end, we also find Br（ηb → cccc） is almost saturated by ηb decay into charmonium in association with cc pair from the point of view of duality.

Energy spectrum of multi-radiation of X-rays in a low energy Mather-type plasma focus device

The multi-radiation of X-rays was investigated with special attention to their energy spectrum in a Mather-type plasma focus device （operated with argon gas）. The analysis is based on the effect of anomalous resistances. To study the energy spectrum, a four-channel diode X-ray spectrometer was used along with a special set of filters. The filters were suitable for detection of medium range X-rays as well as hard X-rays with energy exceeding 30 keV. The results indicate that the anomalous resistivity effect during the post pinch phase may cause multi-radiation of X-rays with a total duration of 300 ± 50 ns. The significant contribution of Cu-Kα was due to the medium range X-rays, nonetheless, hard X-rays with energies greater than 15 keV also participate in the process. The total emitted X-ray energy in the forms of Cu-K and Cu-K/3 was around 0.14 ± 0.02 （J/Sr） and 0.04 ±0.01 （J/Sr）, respectively. The total energy of the emitted hard X-ray （〉 15 keV） was around 0.12± 0.02 （J/Sr）.     

J／φ→γBB Decays and the Quark—pair Creation Model
