Measurement of J/ψ leptonic width with the KEDR detector

We report a new precise determination of the leptonic widths of the J/psi meson performed with the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M e^＋e^- collider. The measured values of the J/psi parameters are： Гee×Гee/P = 0.3323±0.0064 （stat.）±0.0048 （syst.） keV,Гee×Гμμ/Г = 0.3318±0.0052 （stat.） ±0.0063 （syst.） keY. Assuming eμ universality and using the table value of the branching ratios the leptonic Г11 = 5.59 ± 0.12 keV width and the total Г = 94.1±2.7 keV widths were obtained. We also discuss in detail a method to calculate radiative corrections at a narrow resonance.     

B→（J/ψ,η_c）K decays in the perturbative QCD approach

In this paper,we calculated the B →（J/ψ,ηc） K decays in the perturbative QCD（pQCD） factorization approach with the inclusion of the partial next-to-leading order（NLO） contributions. With the inclusion of the significant enhancement from the NLO vertex corrections,the NLO pQCD predictions for the branching ratios agree with the data within 2σ errors：Br（B0 → J/ψK0） = 5.2-＋32..58×10-4,Br（B＋ → J/ψK＋） = 5.6-＋32..79×10-4,Br（B0 →ηcK0） = 5.5-＋22..30 × 10-4,Br（B＋ →ηcK＋） = 5.9-＋22..51 × 10-4.     

D^0D^0 mixing and other recent charm results from BABAR

Studies in which BABAR data have shown evidence for mixing in the neutral charm meson system are presented. A new measurement of the lifetime difference parameter ycp = （1.16±0.22±0.18）% is described. Results are also presented from a systematic study of DK and D＊K invariant mass distributions from a 470 fb^-1 sample of asymmetric e^＋e^- interactions recorded by the BABAR detector at the PEP-Ⅱ storage rings. A new charmed-strange meson has been observed with mass [3044 ± 8stat （-5^＋30 ）syst] MeV/c^2 and width [239± 35stat （-42^＋46）syst]MeV/c^2.

Probing new physics in B → J/ψπ~0 decay

We calculate the branching ratio of B → J/ψπ0 with a mixed formalism that combines the QCDimproved factorization and the perturbative QCD approaches.The result is consistent with experimental data.The quite small penguin contribution in B → J/ψπ0 decay can be calculated with this method.We suggest two methods to extract the weak phase β.One is through the dependence of the mixing induced CP asymmetry SJ/ψπ0 on the weak phase β,the other is from the relation of the total asymmetry ACP with the weak phase β.Our results show that the deviation ΔSJ/ψπ0 of the mixing induced CP asymmetry from sin（-2β） is of O（10-3） and has much less uncertainty.The above O（10-3） deviation can provide a good reference for identifying new physics.     

Study of scalar meson a_0(980) from B→a_0(980)π decays

In this paper,we calculate the branching ratios and the direct CP-violating asymmetries for decays B0 →a00(980)π0,a0+(980)π-,a0-(980)π+ and B- →a00(980)π-,a0-(980)π0 by employing the perturbative QCD(pQCD) factorization approach at the leading order.We found that(a) the pQCD predictions for the branching ratios are around(0.4-2.8)×10-6,consistent with currently available experimental upper limits;(b) the CP asymmetries of B0 →a00(980)π0 and B- →a0-(980)π0 decays can be large,about(70-80)% for α=100-.     

Retrieval of water cloud characteristic from active sensor data using the analytical solution of radiative transfer equation

An analytical forward model and numerical algorithm for retrieving the parameters of water cloud of earth atmosphere from optical measurements carried out by satellite-based lidars is presented. The forward model, based on the analytical solution of the radiative transfer equation, is used to fit the temporal profile of the laser light pulses backscattered from the cloud layers. The cloud parameters extracted from the analysis at each position on earth include the transport mean free path, the average radius of water drops, the density of drops, the scattering length, the scattering cross section, the anisotropy factor, and the altitude of top level of major clouds. Also estimated is the possible thickness of cloud layers. The efficacy of the approach is demonstrated by generating parameters of water cloud using the data collected by NASA's cloud-aerosol lidar and infrared pathfinder satellite observations (CALIPSO) satellite when it passed through North America on August 7, 2007.     

Leadership Hijacking in Docker Swarm and Its Consequences

With the advent of microservice-based software architectures, an increasing number of modern cloud environments and enterprises use operating system level virtualization, which is often referred to as container infrastructures. Docker Swarm is one of the most popular container orchestration infrastructures, providing high availability and fault tolerance. Occasionally, discovered container escape vulnerabilities allow adversaries to execute code on the host operating system and operate within the cloud infrastructure. We show that Docker Swarm is currently not secured against misbehaving manager nodes. This allows a high impact, high probability privilege escalation attack, which we refer to as leadership hijacking, the possibility of which is neglected by the current cloud security literature. Cloud lateral movement and defense evasion payloads allow an adversary to leverage the Docker Swarm functionality to control each and every host in the underlying cluster. We demonstrate an end-to-end attack, in which an adversary with access to an application running on the cluster achieves full control of the cluster. To reduce the probability of a successful high impact attack, container orchestration infrastructures must reduce the trust level of participating nodes and, in particular, incorporate adversary immune leader election algorithms.
