e~+e~- →charm cross sections via ISR

We discuss recent measurements of exclusive e+e-cross sections for charmed hadron final states near threshold performed by Belle and BABAR.The results are based on a study of events with initial-state-radiation photons in a large data sample collected with the Belle and BABAR detectors at the Υ(4S) resonance and nearby continuum.

New exotic charmonium states

In the last years many states in the charmonium mass region were discovery by BABAR,Belle and CDF collaborations.I discuss some of these discoveries,and how the QCD Sum Rule approach can be used to understand the structure of these states.     

Ds1（2536）^＋ decays and the structure of P-wave charmed strange mesons

We calculate the D s 1 （2536） ^＋ decays into D＊K channels,including the decay D s 1 （2536） ＋ → D ＋ π-K ＋ through a virtual D＊0 in a constituent quark model.Widths and S/D amplitudes ratio are in agreement with the recent Belle and BABAR data,being the results sensitive to 1 P 1 and 3 P 1 mixture.

New results on the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon g－2

Results on the lowest-order hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon magnetic anomaly are presented. They are based on the latest published experimental data used as input to the dispersion integral. Thus recent results on τ→υτππ^0 decays from Belle and on e^＋e^- annihilation to π^＋π^- from BABAR and KLOE are included. The new data, together with improved isospin-breaking corrections for τ decays, result into a much better consistency among the different results. A discrepancy between the Standard Model prediction and the direct g- 2 measurement is found at the level of 3σ.

Measurement of the integrated luminosity of the Phase 2 data of the Belle Ⅱ experiment

From April to July 2018,a data sample at the peak energy of the T(4 S) resonance was collected with the Belle Ⅱ detector at the SuperKEKB electron-positron collider.This is the first data sample of the Belle Ⅱ experiment.Using Bhabha and digamma events,we measure the integrated luminosity of the data sample to be(496.3±0.3±3.0) pb~(-1),where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic.This work provides a basis for future luminosity measurements at Belle Ⅱ.     

Study of D_s~±→μ~±V_μ at Belle

We present a preliminary measurement of the B(D_s→μν_μ)with the Belle experiment at the KEKB collider.We select D~s→μV_μdecays with a method that provides a high-purity of the selected sample and an absolute measurement of the branching fraction.The results are based on a data sample of 550 fb~(-1)and are compared to similar measurements by other experiments as well as to the predictions of LQCD.We conclude with short prospects for improvements in the accuracy of the measurement.     

BABAR measurement of baryon time-like form factors via initial state radiation

BABAR has measured with unprecedented accuracy the e^＋e^- → pp and e^＋e^- →∧∧ cross sections by means of the initial state radiation technique, which has the advantages of good efficiency, good energy resolution and full angular acceptance, even exactly at threshold. A peculiar feature of these cross sections is their non-vanishing values at threshold. In the case of charged baryons, this phenomenon is expected according to the Coulomb interaction between the outgoing baryon and antibaryon. Once this Coulomb enhancement factor is taken into account, the striking result is achieved that the proton form factor at threshold is ｜GP（4Mp^2）｜ = 1, that is what is expected for pointlike fermion pairs, in spite of the proton structure. However a Coulomb enhancement factor is not expected for neutral fermions, likely in contradiction with the BABAR data. Qualitatively this behaviour is consistent with Coulomb interactions at the valence quark level.

D~0-~0 mixing sensitivity estimation at Belle II in wrong-sign decays D~0→K~+π~-π~0 via time-dependent amplitude analysis

The sensitivity of the D~0-~0 mixing parameters x and y is estimated in the wrong-sign decay D~0→K~+π~-π~0 by time-dependent amplitude analysis. The resolution of the D~0 lifetime is essential in time-dependent Dalitz analyses. The Belle II detector, which aims to collect a total integrated luminosity of 50 ab~(-1) of data, has σ = 140 fs in Monte Carlo studies, a factor of two improvement over that of Belle and Ba Bar, so the produced Dalitz signal Monte Carlo samples are smeared with this resolution. Then a time-dependent Dalitz plot fitting is performed on these smeared samples, and the sensitivity of D~0-~0mixing parameters are σ_x = 0.057% and σ_y = 0.049%. These are about an order of magnitude improvement on current experimental results, without considering background effects.     

The BABAR Database：Challenges,Trends and Projections

The BABAR database,based upon the Objectivity OO database management system,has been in production since early 1999,It has met its initial design requirements which were to accommodate a 100Hz event rate from the experiment at a scale of 200TB per year.However,with increased luminosity and changes in the physics requirements,these requirements have increased significantly for the current running period and will again increase in the future.New capabilities in the underlying ODBMS product,in particular those of multiple federation and read-only database support,have been incorporated into a new design that is backwards compatible with existing application code while offering scaling into the multi-petabyte size regime.Other optimizations,including the increased use of thghtly coupled CORBA servers and an improved awareness of space inefficiencies,are also playing a part in meeting the new scaling requirements.We discuss these optimizations and the prospects for further scaling enhancements to address the longer-term needs of the experiment.

Study of the e+ e－ to hadrons via ISR at BABAR

Experimental data from the PEP-II B-factory at 10.6 GeV center-of-mass （c.m.） energy, obtained via initial-state radiation （ISR） with the BABAR detector, are presented. The cross sections for many hadronic processes have been measured from the production threshold to 4-5 GeV of the e^＋e^- c.m. energy. The obtained data allow to study a number of intermediate states and determine the parameters of known resonances and their branching fractions. The exclusive cross section for some number of hadronic sub-processes are presented.
