title: A study of B0bar --> D(*)0 K(*)bar decays

abstract:
  We present a study of the decays B0bar --> D(*)0 K(*)0bar using a sample of
124 million Upsilon(4S) --> B0bar B0 decays collected with the BaBar detector
at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e- collider at SLAC. We report evidence for
the decay of B0 and B0bar mesons to the D*0 K_S final state with an average
branching fraction BF(B --> D*0 K0bar) = (4.5 +/- 1.9 +/- 0.5) x 10^-5.
Similarly, we measure BF(B --> D0 K0bar) = (6.2 +/- 1.2 +/- 0.4) x 10^-5 for
the D0 K_S final state. We also measure BF(B0bar --> D0 K*0bar) = (6.2 +/- 1.4
+/- 0.6) x 10^-5 and set a 90% C.L. upper limit BF(B0bar --> D0bar K*0bar) <
4.1 x 10^-5. All results presented in this paper are preliminary.


title: Search for CP violation in K0 -> 3 pi0 decays

abstract:
  Using data taken during the year 2000 with the NA48 detector at the CERN SPS,
a search for the CP violating decay K_S -> 3 pi0 has been performed. From a fit
to the lifetime distribution of about 4.9 million reconstructed K0/K0bar -> 3
pi0 decays, the CP violating amplitude eta_000 = A(K_S -> 3 pi0)/A(K_L -> 3
pi0) has been found to be Re(eta_000) = -0.002 +- 0.011 +- 0.015 and
Im(eta_000) = -0.003 +- 0.013 +- 0.017. This corresponds to an upper limit on
the branching fraction of Br(K_S -> 3 pi0) < 7.4 x 10^-7 at 90% confidence
level. The result is used to improve knowledge of Re(epsilon) and the CPT
violating quantity Im(delta) via the Bell-Steinberger relation.


title:
Measurement of Neutral B Decay Branching Fractions to Kspi+pi- Final
  States

abstract:
  Branching fraction measurements using B-meson decays to Kspi+pi- are
presented. These measurements were obtained by analyzing a data sample of 88.9
million Y(4S) --> BB decays collected with the BaBar detector at the SLAC
PEP-II asymmetric-energy B factory. Using a maximum likelihood fit, the
following branching fraction results were obtained: Br(B0 -> K0pi+pi- = (43.7
+/- 3.8 +/- 3.4) * 10^-6, Br(B0 --> K{*+}pi-) = (12.9 +/- 2.4 +/- 1.4) *
10$^-6} and Br(B0 --> D-(--> Kspi-)pi+ = (42.7 +/- 2.1 +/- 2.2) * 10^{-6}. The
CP violating char ge asymmetry A(K*pi} for the decay B0 --> $K{*+}pi-$ was
measured to be A(K*pi} = 0.23 +/- $0.18^{+0.09}_{-0.06}$. For all these
measurements the first error is statistical and the second is systematic.


title:
Hadronic Branching Fractions of D^0 and D^+, and sigma(e^+e^- --> D
  bar{D} at E_{cm} = 3.77 GeV

abstract:
  Using nearly 60 pb-1 of data collected with the CLEO-c detector at the
psi_prime resonance, we measure absolute branching fractions for three D0 and
two D+ Cabibbo-allowed hadronic decay modes, and the cross section for e+e- to
D Dbar at Ecm = 3.77 GeV. We report preliminary measurements of the reference
branching fractions, B(D0 to K- pi+) = (3.92\pm 0.08\pm 0.23)% and B(D+ to K-
pi+ pi+) = (9.8\pm 0.4\pm 0.8)%, and preliminary measurements of other major
branching fractions, B(D0 to K- pi+ pi0) = (14.3\pm 0.3\pm 1.0)%, B(D0 to K-
pi+ pi- pi+) = (8.1\pm 0.2\pm 0.9)%, and B(D+ to Ks pi+) = (1.61\pm 0.08\pm
0.15)%. We determine preliminary values of the cross sections, sigma(e+ e- to
D0 D0bar) = (3.47\pm 0.07\pm 0.15) nb, sigma(e+ e- to D+ D-) = (2.59\pm 0.11\pm
0.11) nb, and sigma(e+ e- to D Dbar) = (6.06\pm 0.13\pm 0.22) nb. We note that
the Monte Carlo simulations used in calculating efficiencies in this analysis
included final state radiation. However, the branching fractions used in the
Particle Data Group averages do not include this effect. If we had not included
final state radiation in our simulations, branching fractions would have been
0.5% to 2% lower.


title:
Measurement of the ratio of branching fractions of Xic0 decays to Xi-
  pi+ and to Omega- K+

abstract:
  We have analyzed 116 fb^-1 of data collected by the BABAR detector for Xic0
production. In this paper we describe the observation of Xic0 production from
ccbar continuum and from B decays, with the Xic0 decaying into (Xi- pi+) and
(Omega- K+) modes. The ratio of the branching fractions of the Xic0 decays into
these two final states measured in the ccbar continuum is:
  B(Xic0 -> Omega- K+) / B(Xic0 -> Xi- pi+) = 0.296 +- 0.018 (stat.) +- 0.030
(sys.).
  All results in this note are preliminary.


title:
Search for X(3872) in Untagged gamma gamma Fusion and Initial State
  Radiation Production with CLEO III

abstract:
  We report on an exclusive search for the X(3872) state in the decay pi+ pi-
J/psi, J/psi to l+ l- (l = e, mu) from untagged gamma-gamma fusion and initial
state radiation production using a 15.1 fb-1 data sample with the CLEO III
detector. By taking advantage of the unique pi+ pi- J/psi decay kinematics,
separate measurements for each production process are obtained. No signals are
observed and preliminary upper limits have been established as
[(2J+1)*Width_gamgam(X(3872))*BR(X(3872) to pi+ pi- J/psi)] < 12.9 eV and
[Width_ee(X(3872))*BR(X(3872) to pi+ pi- J/psi)] < 8.0 eV, both at a 90%
confidence level.


title:
Searches for Charmless Decays B0 -> eta omega, B0 -> eta K0, B+ -> eta
  rho+, and B+ -> eta' pi+

abstract:
  We present measurements of branching fractions for four previously unobserved
B-meson decays with an eta or eta' meson in the final state. The data sample
corresponds to 182 million B-Bbar pairs produced from e+e- annihilation at the
Upsilon(4S) resonance. We measure the following branching fractions in units of
10^-6: BF(B0 -> eta omega) = 1.2 +/- 0.6 +/- 0.2 (<2.3 at 90% C.L.), BF(B0 ->
eta K0) = 2.5 +/-0.8 +/- 0.1, BF(B+ -> eta rho+) = 8.6 +/- 2.2 +/- 1.1, and
BF(B+ -> eta' pi+) = 4.2 +/- 1.0 +/- 0.5, where the first error quoted is
statistical and the second systematic. The charge asymmetries are A_ch(B+ ->
eta rho+) = (7 +/- 19 +/- 2)% and A_ch(B+ -> eta' pi+) = (24 +/- 19 +/- 1)%.
All results are preliminary.


title:
Measurement of CP-violating parameters in fully reconstructed $B\to
  D^{(*)}\pi$ and $B\to D\rho$ decays

abstract:
  We present a preliminary measurement of CP-violating asymmetries in fully
reconstructed $B^0{\to}D^{(*)\pm}\pi^{\mp}$ and $\B^0{\to}D^{\pm}\rho^{\mp}$
decays in approximately 110 million $\Upsilon(\rm 4S) \to B\bar{B}$ decays
collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy $B$ factory
at SLAC. % From a maximum likelihood fit to the time-dependent decay
distributions we obtain for the CP-violating parameters: $a^{D\pi} =
-0.032\pm0.031 (\textrm{stat.})\pm 0.020 (\textrm{syst.}), c_{\rm lep}^{D\pi} =
-0.059\pm0.055 (\textrm{stat.})\pm 0.033 (\textrm{syst.})$ on the
$B^0{\to}D^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}$ sample, $a^{D^*\pi} = -0.049\pm0.031
(\textrm{stat.})\pm 0.020 (\textrm{syst.}), c_{\rm lep}^{D^*\pi} =
+0.044\pm0.054 (\textrm{stat.})\pm 0.033 (\textrm{syst.})$ on the
$B^0{\to}D^{*\pm}\pi^{\mp}$ sample, and $a^{D\rho} = -0.005\pm0.044
(\textrm{stat.})\pm 0.021 (\textrm{syst.}), c_{\rm lep}^{D\rho} =
-0.147\pm0.074 (\textrm{stat.})\pm 0.035 (\textrm{syst.})$ on the
$B^0{\to}D^{\pm}\rho^{\mp}$ sample.


title:
Measurement of the Ratio BR(B- --> D*0 K-)/BR(B- --> D*0 pi-) and the
  CP-asymmetry of B- --> D*0(CP+) K- decays with the BABAR detector

abstract:
  We present a study of the decays B- --> D*0 pi- and B- --> D*0 K-, where the
D*0 decays into D0 pi0, with the D0 reconstructed in the CP eigenstates K- K+
and pi- pi+ and in the (non-CP) channels K- pi+, K- pi+ pi+ pi-, and K- pi+
pi0. We use an unbinned maximum likelihood fit to measure the signal yields.
Using a sample of about 123 million Y(4S) decays into B anti-B pairs, we
measure the ratios of decay rates R*(CP+)=BR(B- --> D*0(CP+) K-)/BR(B- -->
D*0(CP+) pi-) = 0.088+-0.021(stat)+0.007-0.005(syst), and provide the first
measurements of R*(non-CP) = BR(B- --> D*0(non-CP) K-)/BR(B- --> D*0(non-CP)
pi-) = 0.0805+-0.0040(stat)+0.0039-0.0032(syst), and of the CP asymmetry
A*(CP+) = (BR(B- --> D*0(CP+) K-)-BR(B+ --> D*0(CP+) K+))/(BR(B- --> D*0(CP+)
K-)+BR(B+ --> D*0(CP+) K+)) = -0.02+-0.24(stat)\+-0.05(syst). These results are
preliminary.


title: Search for the Decay B0 --> rho0rho0

abstract:
  The B --> rho0 rho0 decay mode is searched for in a data sample of about 227
million Upsilon(4S) --> B Bbar decays collected with the BABAR detector at the
PEP-II asymmetric B factory at SLAC. No significant signal is observed, and an
upper limit of 1.1 x 10e-6 (90% C.L.) on the branching fraction is set.
Implications on the penguin contribution and constraints on the CKM angle alpha
with B --> rho rho decays are discussed. All results are preliminary.


title:
Measurements of the Branching Fraction and CP-Violating Asymmetries of
  B0 --> K0S Pi0 Decays

abstract:
  We present measurements of the branching fraction and time-dependent
CP-violating (CPV) asymmetries in B0 --> K0S Pi0 decays based on 227 million
Y(4S) --> BBbar decays collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II
asymmetric-energy B factory at SLAC. We obtain a branching fraction B(B0 --> K0
Pi0) = (11.4 +/- 0.9 +/- 0.6) x 10^{-6}, the magnitude of the direct CPV
asymmetry C = 0.06 +/- 0.18 +/- 0.06 and the magnitude of the CPV asymmetry in
the interference between mixing and decay S = 0.35 +0.30/-0.33 +/- 0.04, where
the first error is statistical and the second systematic. All results are
preliminary.


title: Search for the Decay B0->K*+rho-

abstract:
  We present the preliminary result of a search for the decay of $B^0\to
K^{*+}\rho^-$. The data were recorded with the $BaBar$ detector at the PEPII
collider and correspond to 123 million $B\bar{B}$ pairs produced in the
$e^+e^-$ annihilation through the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance. We obtain an upper
limit on the branching fraction for this decay of ${\cal B}(B^0\to
K^{*+}\rho^-) <24 \times 10^{-6}$ (90% C.L.). All results are preliminary.


title:
Search for Strange Pentaquark Production in e+e- Annihilations at
  sqrt(s)=10.58 GeV and in Upsilon(4S) Decays

abstract:
  We present an inclusive search for strange pentaquark production in e+e-
interactions at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV using 123 fb-1 of data
collected with the BaBar detector. We look for the states that have been
reported previously: the Theta+(1540), interpreted as a ududsbar state; and the
Xi--(1860) and Xi0(1860), candidate dsdsubar and uss(uubar+ddbar) states,
respectively. In addition we search for other members of the antidecuplet and
corresponding octet to which these states are thought to belong. We find no
evidence for the production of such states and set preliminary limits on their
production cross sections as functions of c.m. momentum. The corresponding
limits on the Theta+(1540) and Xi--(1860) rates per e+e- to qqbar event are
well below the rates measured for ordinary baryons of similar mass.


title: Measurement of the B0 --> K0S K0S K0S Branching Fraction

abstract:
  We report a preliminary measurement of the branching fraction for the decay
$B^0 \to K^0_sK^0_sK^0_s ,$ where the $K^0_s$ mesons are reconstructed through
the decay $K^0_s\to\pi^+ \pi^- .$ The measurement was performed on a sample of
$211\times 10^6$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs collected by the BABAR detector running on
the $\Upsilon (4S)$ resonance at the PEP-II storage ring. The branching
fraction is measured to be $${\cal B}(B^0 \to K^0_sK^0_sK^0_s)= (6.5\pm 0.8\pm
0.8) \times 10^{-6},$$ where the errors are statistical and systematic,
respectively.


title: Search for D0-D0bar Mixing Using Semileptonic Decay Modes

abstract:
  Based on an 87-fb$^{-1}$ dataset collected by the Babar detector at the
PEP-II asymmetric-energy $B$-Factory, a search for $D^{0}$--$\bar{D}^{0}$
mixing has been made using the semileptonic decay modes $D^{*+} \to \pi^{+}
D^{0}, D^{0} \to K^{(*)}e\nu$ (+c.c.). The use of these modes allows
unambiguous flavor tagging and a combined fit of the $D^{0}$ decay time and
$D^{*+}$--$D^{0}$ mass difference ($\Delta M$) distributions. The
high-statistics sample of unmixed semileptonic $D^{0}$ decays is used to model
the $\Delta M$ distribution and time-dependence of mixed events directly from
the data. Neural networks are used to select events and reconstruct the
$D^{0}$. A result consistent with no charm mixing has been obtained,
$R_{\rm{mix}}=0.0023 \pm 0.0012 \pm 0.0004$. This corresponds to an upper limit
of $R_{\rm{mix}}<0.0042$ (90% CL).


title:
Measurement of the D_(sJ)(2317) and D_(sJ)(2460) Properties in e^+ e^-
  --> c c-bar Production

abstract:
  The properties of the $\DsTT$ and $\DsFE$ mesons are studied using 125 ${\rm
fb}^{-1}$ of $e^+e^- \to c \bar{c}$ data collected by the BaBar experiment.
Preliminary mass estimates of $[2318.9\pm 0.3 ({\rm stat.})
  \pm 0.9 ({\rm syst.})]$ \mevcc and $[2459.4 \pm 0.3 ({\rm stat.})
  \pm 1.0 ({\rm syst.})]$ \mevcc are obtained. Searches are performed for the
decay to the $D_s^+$ meson along with one or more $\piz$, $\pi^+$, or $\gamma$
particles. A search is also performed for neutral and doubly-charged partners.


title:
Study of b --> ulnu Decays on the Recoil of Fully Reconstructed B Mesons
  and Determination of Vub

abstract:
  Based on 88 million Y(4S)->BB decays collected by the BaBar experiment at the
PEP-II asymmetric-energy B factory at SLAC, we report preliminary results of
four analyses which study in semileptonic charmless B decays, B->Xulnu and
measure Vub.
  In events in which one B meson decay to a hadronic final state is fully
reconstructed, the semileptonic decay of the second B meson is identified by
the detection of a charged lepton. From both the spectrum of the mass of the
hadronic system (mX) and the two-dimensional distribution of mX and q^2 we
derive the charmless semileptonic branching fraction and we extract
Vub=(4.77\pm 0.28(stat.)\pm 0.25 (sys.)^{+0.65}_{-0.39}(theo.)) 10^-3 and
Vub=(4.92\pm 0.39(stat.)\pm 0.36 (sys.)\pm 0.46(theo.)) 10^-3, respectively. We
use the same sample to extract the true mX distribution for B->Xulnu events.
Finally, we identify several exclusive charmless semileptonic B decays, and
measure the branching fractions BR(B->pilnu) = (1.08 \pm 0.28(stat.) \pm
0.16(sys.))10^-4 and BR(B-> rho lnu) = (2.57 \pm 0.52(stat.) \pm 0.59(sys.))
10^-4 using isospin and quark model constraints. We also set limits on BR(B^-
-> eta l nu), BR(B^- -> eta' l nu), $BR(B^- -> a^0_0 l nu), and $BR(B^0 ->
a^+_0lnu).


title:
Measurement of CP-Asymmetries for the Decays B+/- to D_cp Kstar+/- with
  the BABAR Detector

abstract:
  Using a sample of 227 million $\Upsilon(4S) \to B \bar{B}$ events collected
with the $BABAR$ detector at the PEP-II $B$ Factory in 1999--2004, we study
$B^- \to D^0 K^*(892)^-$ decays where $K^{*-} \to K^0_S \pi^-$ and $D^0 \to
K^-\pi^+, K^- \pi^+ \pi^0, K^-\pi^+ \pi^+ \pi^-$ (non-CP final states), $K^+
K^-, \pi^+ \pi^- (CP+$ eigenstates), $K^0_S~\pi^0, K^0_S \phi$ and $K^0_S
\omega (CP-$ eigenstates). The partial rate charge asymmetries
$\mathcal{A}_{CP}$ and the ratios $\mathcal{R}_{CP}$ defined in the literature
as the sum of the $B^+$ and $B^-$ partial rates to a charged $K^*$ and a $D^0
CP$-eigenstate divi ded by the $B \to D^0 K^*$ decay rate, %of the

$\gamma$ of the CKM unitarity triangle. We measure:
  \mathcal{A}_{CP+} &=&-0.09 \pm 0.20 (stat.) \pm 0.06 (syst.)
  \mathcal{A}_{CP-} &=& -0.33 \pm 0.34 (stat.) \pm 0.10 (syst.) (+1.15 \pm
0.12) \cdot (\mathcal{A}_{CP-} - \mathcal{A}_{CP+})
  \mathcal{R}_{CP+} &=& +1.77 \pm 0.37 (stat.) \pm 0.12 (syst.)
  \mathcal{R}_{CP-} &=& +0.76 \pm 0.29 (stat.) \pm 0.06 (syst.) ^{- 0.04}_{-\
0.14}
  The third uncertainty quoted for the CP- measurements reflects possible
interference effects in the final states with $\phi$ and $\omega$ resonances.
All results are preliminary.


title: Evidence for B^(*)_s bar{B}^(*)_s Production at the Upsilon(5S)

abstract:
  Using data collected by the CLEO III detector at CESR, we started a series of
investigations on the Upsilon(5S) resonance decay properties. The data sample
used for this analysis consists of 0.42 fb-1 of data taken on the Upsilon(5S)
resonance, 6.34 fb-1 of data collected on the Upsilon(4S) and 2.32 fb-1 of data
taken in the continuum below the Upsilon(4S). B_s mesons are expected to decay
predominantly into D_s meson, while the lighter B mesons decay into D_s only
about 10% of the time. We exploit this difference to make a preliminary model
dependent estimate of the ratio of B_s(*) anti-B_s(*) to the total b anti-b
quark pair production at the Upsilon(5S) energy to be (21 +- 3 +- 9)%.


title:
Measurement of \cal{B}(D^+ --> mu^+ nu) and the Pseudoscalar Decay
  Constant $f_{D^+}$

abstract:
  In 60 pb-1 of data taken on the psi(3770) resonance with the CLEO-c detector,
we find 8 D+ to mu+ nu event candidates that are mostly signal, containing only
1 estimated background. Using this statistically compelling sample, we measure
preliminary values of B(D+ to mu+ nu) = (3.5 +- 1.4 +- 0.6)*10^{-4}, and
determine f_{D+} =(201+- 41+- 17) MeV.


title: Measurements of CP Asymmetries in the Decay B --> Phi K

abstract:
  We present a preliminary measurement of the time-dependent CP asymmetry for
the neutral $B$-meson decay $B^0\to\phi K^0$. We use a sample of approximately
227 million $B$-meson pairs recorded at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the
BaBar detector at the PeP-II $B$-meson Factory at SLAC. We reconstruct the $CP$
eigenstates $\phi K^0_S$ and $\phi K^0_L$ where $\phi\to K^+K^-$,
$K^0_S\to\pi^+\pi^-$, and $K^0_L$ is observed via its hadronic interactions.
The other $B$ meson in the event is tagged as either a $B^0$ or $\bar{B}^0$
from its decay products. The values of the CP-violation parameters derived from
the combined $\phi K^0$ dataset are $S_{\phi K} = +0.50\pm 0.25 ({\small
stat})^{+0.07}_{-0.04} ({\small syst})$ and $C_{\phi K} = 0.00\pm 0.23 ({\small
stat}) \pm 0.05 ({\small syst})$. In addition, we measure the CP -violating
charge asymmetry $\mathcal{A_{CP}} (B^+\to \phi K^+) = 0.054\pm 0.056 ({\small
stat}) \pm 0.012 ({\small syst})$. All results are preliminary.


title: B^0 --> K^+ \pi^- \pi^0 Dalitz Plot Analysis

abstract:
  We present preliminary results on the Dalitz plot analysis of $B^0 \to K^+
\pi^- \pi^0$ decays. The data sample comprises 213 million $\Upsilon(4S) \to B
{\bar B}$ decays collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II
asymmetric-energy $B$ Factory at SLAC. We report measurements of the inclusive
branching fraction, quasi-two-body fractions and CP-violating charge
asymmetries for intermediate states including $K^*(892)^+ \pi^-$ and
$\rho(770)^- K^+$. Observations of $B^0$ decays to the $K\pi$ $S$-wave
intermediate states, $K_0^*(1430)^+ \pi^-$ and $K_0^*(1430)^0 \pi^0$, are
reported. Evidence of the decay $B^0 \to K^*(892)^0 \pi^0$ is seen. We set
upper limits at 90% confidence level on branching fractions of the nonresonant
and other less significant intermediate states.


title: The MiniBooNE Experiment

abstract:
  MiniBooNE is an experiment designed to provide a definitive test for the
numubar to nuebar oscillations signal seen by LSND. Here, a brief summary of
the MiniBooNE goals and strategies is presented, as well as some highlights of
its current status.


title:
Measurement of the inclusive electron spectrum in charmless semileptonic
  B decays near the kinematic endpoint and determination of |Vub|

abstract:
  We study the inclusive electron spectrum of B->X_u e nu decays near the
kinematic limit for B->X_c e nu transitions using a sample of 88 million
Upsilon(4S) decays recorded by the BABAR detector at the PEP II e+e- storage
rings. For the electron momentum interval of 2.0 - 2.6 GeV/c the partial
branching fraction is measured to be DeltaB(B->X_u e nu) = (0.480 +/-
0.029_{stat} +/- 0.053_{syst})x10^{-3}. Combining this result on with
measurements of the inclusive photon spectrum in B->X_s gamma transition we
find |V_ub|=(3.94 +/- 0.25_{exp} +/- 0.37_{f_u} +/- 0.19_{theory})x10^{-3},
where the first error represents the combined statistical and systematic
experimental uncertainty of the partial branching fraction measurement, the
second refers to the uncertainty of the determination of the fraction f_u of
the inclusive electron spectrum that falls within our cuts, and the third error
is due to theoretical uncertainties in the QCD corrections, plus the
uncertainty in the b-quark mass. All results are preliminary.


title: Measurement of CP Asymmetry in B0 --> K+K-K0(S) Decays

abstract:
  We present preliminary measurements of the CP asymmetry parameters and CP
content in B0-->K+K-Ks decays, with phiKs events excluded. In a sample of 227M
BB pairs collected by the BABAR detector at the PEPII B-Factory at SLAC, we
find the CP parameters to be S = -0.42 +/- 0.17 +/- 0.04 and C = 0.10 +/- 0.14
+/- 0.06, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic.
Extracting the fraction of CP -even final states from angular moments
f(CP-even) = 0.89 +/- 0.08 +/- 0.06, and setting C=0, we determine sin(2beta) =
0.55 +/- 0.22 +/- 0.04 +/- 0.11, where the last error is due to uncertainty on
the CP content.


title: First CLEO-c Results on Exclusive D^0 Semileptonic Decays

abstract:
  Based on a data sample of 60 pb-1 collected at the psi(3770) resonance with
the CLEO-c detector at CESR, we present improved measurements of absolute
branching fractions for exclusive D0 semileptonic decays into K- e+ nu, pi- e+
nu and K*- e+ nu; and the first observation and absolute branching fraction
measurement of D0 to rho- e+ nu.


title:
Study of e+e- --> pi+ pi- pi0 process using initial state radiation with
  BABAR

abstract:
  The process e+e- --> pi+ pi- pi0 gamma has been studied at a center-of-mass
energy near the Y(4S) resonance using a 89.3 fb-1 data sample collected with
the BaBar detector at the PEP-II collider. From the measured 3pi mass spectrum
we have obtained the products of branching fractions for the omega and phi
mesons, B(omega --> e+e-)B(omega --> 3pi)=(6.70 +/- 0.06 +/- 0.27)10-5 and
B(phi --> e+e-)B(phi --> 3pi)=(4.30 +/- 0.08 +/- 0.21)10-5, and evaluated the
e+e- --> pi+ pi- pi0 cross section for the e+e- center-of-mass energy range
1.05 to 3.00 GeV. About 900 e+e- --> J/psi gamma --> pi+ pi- pi0 gamma events
have been selected and the branching fraction B(J/psi --> pi+ pi- pi0)=(2.18
+/- 0.19)% has been measured.


title: Evidence For B0 -> rho0 K0S

abstract:
  We present evidence for the decay B0->rho0 K0s. The results are obtained from
a data sample of 227 10^6 Y(4S) -> BBbar decays collected with the BABAR
detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B-Factory at SLAC. From a
maximum-likelihood fit giving a yield of 99+/-19 events and efficiency
estimated from simulation we make a preliminary measurement of the branching
fraction B0->rho0 K0 =(5.1+/-1.0+/-1.2)10^-6 where the first error is
statistical and the second systematic. The hypothesis of zero signal in the
rho0 mass region, 600MeV-930MeV, is excluded at the 6.1sigma level. Allowing a
B0->f_0(600)K0s contribution in the fit allows us to exclude the hypothesis of
zero B0->rho0 K0s at the 3.5sigma level.


title:
Measurements of Branching Fractions and CP-Violating Asymmetries in
  B-Meson Decays to the Charmless Two-Body States K0pi+, K0barK+, and K0K0bar

abstract:
  We present preliminary measurements of branching fractions and CP-violating
asymmetries in decays of B mesons to two-body final states containing a K0. The
results are based on a data sample of approximately 227 million Upsilon(4S)
decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B
Factory at SLAC. We measure BF(B+ --> K0pi+) = (26.0 +/- 1.3 +/- 1.0) x 10-6,
BF(B+ --> K0barK+) = (1.45 +0.53 -0.46 +/- 0.11) x 10-6 (< 2.35 x 10-6), and
BF(B0 --> K0K0bar) = (1.19 +0.40 -0.35 +/- 0.13) x 10^-6, where the first
uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic, and the upper limit is
at a 90% confidence level. The significance of the BF(B+ --> K0barK+) and BF(B0
--> K0K0bar) results are 3.5 sigma and 4.5 sigma, respectively, including
systematic uncertainties. In addition, we obtain a measurement of the
CP-violating asymmetry for the BF(B+ --> K0pi+) mode and we determine a 90%
confidence-level interval for the asymmetry in the BF(B+ --> K0barK+) mode:
ACP(B+ --> K0pi+) = -0.087 +/- 0.046 +/- 0.010 and ACP(B+ --> K0barK+) is in
[-0.43, 0.68].


title: Study of B0 -> pi0pi0, B+ -> pi+pi0 and B+ -> K+pi0 decays

abstract:
  We present updated measurements of the branching fractions for the modes
B0->pi0pi0, B+ -> pi+pi0, and B+ -> K+pi0. We also measure the time-integrated
asymmetry C_pi0pi0 and the charge asymmetries A_CP(pi+pi0) and A_CP(K+pi0).
Based on a sample of approximately 227 million BBar pairs collected by the
BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC, we measure
BR(B0 -> pi0pi0) = (1.17 +/- 0.32 +/- 0.10)*10^{-6}, C_pi0pi0 = -0.12 +/- 0.56
+/- 0.06, where the first errors are statistical and the second are systematic.
The B0 -> pi0pi0 signal has a significance of 4.9sigma including systematic
uncertainties. We also measure BR(B+ -> pi+pi0) = (5.8 +/- 0.6 +/-
0.4)*10^{-6}, A_CP(pi+pi0) = -0.01 +/- 0.10 +/- 0.02, BR(B+ -> K+pi0) = (12.0
+/- 0.7 +/- 0.6)*10^{-6}, A_CP(K+pi0) = 0.06 +/- 0.06 +/- 0.01 . Using related
BaBar measurements and isospin relations we find an upper bound on the angle
difference |delta| = |alpha - alpha_eff| of 35 degrees at the 90% C.L.


title:
Measurement of the Branching Fractions and CP Asymmetries of
  B-->D0(cp)K- Decays with the BaBar detector

abstract:
  We present a study of B--> D0(CP)K- decays, where D0(CP) is reconstructed in
non-CP (K-pi+), CP-even (K-K+,pi-pi+) and CP-odd (KS0 pi0) eigenstates, based
on a sample of about 214 million Y(4S) -> BBbar decays collected with the BABAR
detector at the PEP-II e+e- storage ring. We measure the ratios of branching
fractions R+ = [Br(B- ->D0_CP+ K-)+Br(B+ ->D0_CP+ K+)]/[Br(B- ->D0 K-)] = 0.87
+/- 0.14(stat) +/- 0.06(syst), R- = [Br(B- ->D0_CP- K-)+Br(B+ ->D0_CP-
K+)]/[Br(B- ->D0 K-)] = 0.80 +/- 0.14(stat) +/- 0.08(syst), and the CP
asymmetries A_CP+ = 0.40 +/- 0.15 (stat) +/- 0.08 (syst) and A_CP- = 0.21 +/-
0.17 (stat) +/- 0.07 (syst) All results are preliminary.


title:
Search for an X(3872) charged partner in the decay mode X- ->J/psi pi-
  pi0 in the B meson decays B0 -> X- K+ and B- -> X- Ks

abstract:
  We report on the search for a charged partner of the X(3872) in the decay $B
\to X^\pm K$, $X^\pm \to J/\psi \pi^\pm \pi^0$, using 213 million $B\bar B$
events collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the BaBar detector at the
PEP-II $e^+ e^-$ asymmetric-energy storage ring. The resulting product
branching fraction upper limits are $BR (\bar{B}^0/B^0 \to X^\pm K^\mp$, $X^\pm
\to J/\psi \pi^\pm \pi^0)$ $< 5.8 \times 10^{-6}$ and $BR (B^\pm \to X^\pm
K^0_S$, $X^\pm \to J/\psi \pi^\pm \pi^0)$ $< 11 \times 10^{-6}$ at the 90%
confidence level. All results are preliminary.


title: Exclusive Multi-Body Hadronic Decays of the psi(2S)

abstract:
  Using data accumulated with the CLEO detector corresponding to an integrated
luminosity of 5.46 1/pb on the peak of the psi(2S) and 20.46 1/pb at E_CM=3.67
GeV, we report preliminary branching fraction measurements for seven new decay
modes of the psi(2S) (eta 3pi, eta' 3pi, 2(K+ K-), p pbar K+ K-, Lambda
Lambdabar pi+ pi-, Lambda pbar K+, and Lambda pbar K+ pi+ pi-) and more precise
measurements of nine previously measured modes (2(pi+pi-), 2(pi+pi-) pi0, omega
pi+pi-, K+ K- pi+ pi-, phi pi+ pi-, omega K+ K-, phi K+ K-, p pbar pi+ pi-, and
Lambda Lambdabar). We also include a study of omega p pbar and obtain an
improved upper limit for phi p pbar. Results are compared, where possible, with
the corresponding J/psi branching ratios to test the 12% rule.

questions.


title: A search for the decay B+ -> K+ nu nubar

abstract:
  We present a search for the rare flavor-changing neutral-current decay $B^+
\to K^+ \nu \bar{\nu}$ based on data sample of 82 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the
BABAR detector at the PEP-II B-factory. Signal events are selected by examining
the properties of the system recoiling against either a reconstructed hadronic
or semileptonic charged B decay. Using these two independent samples, a
combined limit of ${\mathcal B}(B^+ \to K^+ \nu\bar{\nu})<5.2 \times 10^{-5}$
is obtained at the 90% confidence level. In addition, by modifying the particle
identification criteria, a limit of ${\mathcal B} (B^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar{\nu})<1.0
\times 10^{-4}$ is obtained using hadronic $B$ reconstruction. All results are
preliminary.


title: Search for the D_(sJ)(2632)^+ at BaBar

abstract:
  We have performed a search for the $D^*_{sJ}(2632)^+$ state recently reported
by the SELEX Collaboration at FNAL. This preliminary analysis makes use of an
integrated luminosity of 125 ${\rm fb}^{-1}$ collected by the BaBar detector at
the PEP-II asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. The resulting $D_s \eta$ and
$D^0 K^+$ mass spectra show no evidence for the $D^*_{sJ}(2632)^+$ state. In
addition, no signal is observed in the $D^{*+} K_S$ mass spectrum.


title:
Constraints on rB and gamma in B+- -> D(*)0K+- decays by a Dalitz
  analysis of D0 -> Ks pi+ pi-

abstract:
  We report on a study of direct CP violation in the decay B- -> D(*)0 K- with
a Dalitz analysis of the D0 -> Ks pi- pi+ decay using a sample of 227 million
BBbar pairs collected by the BaBar detector. Reference to the charge-conjugate
state is implied here. We constrain the amplitude ratio rB=|A(B- -> D0bar
K-)|/|A(B- -> D0 K-)| to be <0.19 at the 90% confidence level and rB*=|A(B- ->
D*0bar K-)|/|A(B- -> D*0 K-)| = 0.155 +0.070-0.077 +/- 0.040 +/- 0.020 and we
measure the relative strong phase deltaB=(114 +/- 41 +/- 8 +/- 10) deg and
deltaB*=(303 +/- 34 +/- 14 +/- 10) deg between the amplitudes A(B- -> D(*)0bar
K-) and A(B- -> D(*)0 K-). From these samples we measure gamma =(70 +/- 26 +/-
10 +/- 10) deg. The first error is statistical, the second error accounts for
experimental uncertainties and the third error reflects the Dalitz model
uncertainty. For this preliminary result we have quoted confidence intervals
obtained with a Bayesian technique assuming a uniform prior in rB, gamma and
deltaB.


title:
Improved Measurements of CP-Violating Asymmetries in B0 --> pi+pi-
  Decays

abstract:
  We present preliminary updated measurements of the CP-violating parameters
$S_{\pi\pi}$ and $C_{\pi\pi}$ in $B^0\to\pi^+\pi^-$ decays. Using a sample of
227 million $\Upsilon(4S)\to B\bar{B}$ decays collected with the BaBar detector
at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider at SLAC, we observe $467\pm
33$ signal decays and measure $S_{\pi\pi}$ and $C_{\pi\pi} = -0.30\pm 0.17
({\rm stat})\pm 0.03 ({\rm syst})$, and $C_{\pi\pi} = -0.09\pm 0.15 ({\rm
stat})\pm 0.04 ({\rm syst})$.


title:
Measurement of Time-Dependent CP-Violating Asymmetries in B0 Meson
  Decays to eta' K0

abstract:
  We present a preliminary measurement of CP-violating parameters S and C from
fits of the time-dependence of B0 meson decays to eta' K0. The data were
recorded with the BaBar detector at PEP-II and correspond to 227 * 10^6 B-Bbar
pairs produced in e+e- annihilation through the Upsilon(4S) resonance. From a
maximum likelihood fit we measure the CP-violation parameters S = 0.27 +/- 0.14
(stat) +/- 0.03 (syst) and C = -0.21 +/- 0.10 (stat) +/- 0.03 (syst).


title: A Search for B --> tau nu Recoiling against B --> D*0 l nu

abstract:
  We present a search for the decay $B^{+} \to \tau^{+} \nu_{\tau}$ in $124.1
\times 10^{6}$ $\Upsilon(4S)$ decays recorded with the $BABAR$ detector at the
SLAC PEP-II $B$-Factory. A sample of events with one reconstructed exclusive
semi-leptonic B decay ($B^- \to D^{*0} \ell^- \bar{\nu}_{\ell}$) is selected,
and in the recoil a search for $B^{+} \to \tau^{+} \nu_{\tau}$ signal is
performed. The $\tau$ is identified in the following channels: $\tau^+ \to e^+
\nu_e \bar{\nu}_{\tau}$, $\tau^+ \to \mu^+ \nu_{\mu} \bar{\nu}_{\tau}$, $\tau^+
\to \pi^+ \bar{\nu}_{\tau}$, $\tau^+ \to \pi^+ \pi^{0} \bar{\nu}_{\tau}$,
$\tau^+ \to \pi^+ \pi^{-} \pi^{+} \bar{\nu}_{\tau}$. We find no evidence of
signal, and we set a preliminary upper limit on the branching fraction of
$\mathcal{B}(B^{+} \to \tau^{+} \nu_{\tau}) < 4.3 \times 10^{-4}$ at the 90%
confidence level (CL). This result is then combined with a statistically
independent $BABAR$ search for $B^{+} \to \tau^{+} \nu_{\tau}$ to give a
combined preliminary limit of $\mathcal{B}(B^{+} \to \tau^{+} \nu_{\tau}) < 3.3
\times 10^{-4}$ at 90% CL.

title:
Measurements of Branching Fraction, Polarization, and
  Direct-CP-Violating Charge Asymmetry in B+ --> K*0 Rho+ Decays

abstract:
  With a sample of 88.8 BBbar pairs produced at PEP-II in e+e- annihilation
through the Upsilon(4S) resonance and recorded with the BABAR detector, we
search for the B+ --> K*0 Rho+ decay mode. A signal is observed for the first
time with a significance of more than 5 sigma. We measure a preliminary
branching fraction of BR(B+ --> K*0 Rho+)=[17.0 +-2.9 (stat) +-2.0 (syst) +0.0
-1.9 (non-resonant)] 10(-6). The "non-resonant" error corresponds to the
uncertainty from non-resonant backgrounds not modeled in the fit. The
measurement of the longitudinal-polarized component to this vector-vector
penguin decay is of special interest. We measure fL= 0.79 +-0.08(stat) +-0.04
(syst) +- 0.02 (non-resonant). We measure the direct-CP-violating charge
asymmetry in this mode to be A_CP = -0.14 +- 0.17 +- 0.04.


title:
Measurement of the Branching Ratio Gamma(D_s^* -> D_s pi0)/Gamma(D_s^*
  --> D_s gamma)

abstract:
  The (Delta I = 1) decay D_s^* --> Ds pi0 and (\Delta I = 0) decay D_s^* -->
Ds gamma have been reconstructed using 90.4 fb^-1 of data recorded by the BaBar
detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider. The relative
branching fraction of isospin violating decay to isospin conserving decay has
been measured. Our preliminary result for this ratio is Gamma(D_s^* -> D_s
pi0)/Gamma(D_s^* --> D_s gamma) = 0.0621 +/- 0.0049 (stat) +/- 0.0063 (syst).
In addition we reconstruct the decays D^* --> D0 pi0 and D^* --> D0 gamma for
completeness and measure a preliminary relative branching fraction to be
Gamma(D^* --> D0 pi0)/Gamma(D&* --> D0 gamma) = = 1.740 +/- 0.020 (stat) +/-
0.125 (syst). Both measurements represent significant improvements over present
world averages.


title: A Measurement of CP Violating Asymmetries in B0-->f0(980)K0s Decays

abstract:
  We present preliminary measurements of the CP-violating asymmetries in the
decay $B^0\to f_0(980)(\to\pi^+\pi^{-}) K_s^0$. The results are obtained from a
data sample of $209\times10^6$ $\Upsilon(4S) \to B\bar{B}$ decays collected
with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy $B$ Factory at SLAC.
  From a time-dependent maximum-likelihood fit we measure the mixing-induced CP
violation parameter $S=-0.95^{+0.32}_{-0.23} \pm 0.10$ and the direct CP
violation parameter $C=-0.24\pm 0.31 \pm 0.15 $, where the first errors are
statistical and the second systematic.


title:
Search for decays of B0 mesons into pairs of charged leptons: B0->e+e-,
  B0->mu+mu-, B0->e+-mu-+

abstract:
  We present a search for the decays B0->e+e-, B0->mu+mu-, and B0->e+- mu-+ in
data collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the Babar detector at the SLAC B
Factory. Using a data set of 111 fb^-1, we find no evidence for a signal in any
of the three channels investigated and set the following branching fraction
upper limits at the 90% confidence level: B(B0->e+e-)< 6.1 x 10^-8,
B(B0->mu+mu-) < 8.3 x 10^-8, and B(B0->e+-mu-+) < 18 x 10^-8.


title:
Flavour Independent hA Search and Two Higgs Doublet Model Interpretation
  of Neutral Higgs Boson Searches at LEP

abstract:
  Upper limits on the cross-section of the pair-production process e+e- -> h0A0
assuming 100% decays into hadrons, are derived from a new search for the h0A0
-> hadrons topology, independent of the hadronic flavour of the decay products.
Searches for the neutral Higgs bosons h0 and A0, are used to obtain constraints
on the Type II Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM(11)) with no CP violation in the
Higgs sector and no additional non Standard Model particles besides the five
Higgs bosons. The analysis combines LEP1 and LEP2 data collected with the OPAL
detctor up to the highest available centre-of-mass energies. The searches are
sensitive to the h0, A0 -> qq, gg,tau+tau- and h0 -> A0A0 decay modes of the
Higgs bosons. The 2HDM(II) parameter space is explored in a detailed scan.
Large regions of the 2HDM(II) parameter space are excluded at the 95% CL in the
(mh, mA), (mh, tanb) and (mA, tanb) planes, using both direct neutral Higgs
boson searches and indirect limits derived from Standard Model high precision
measurements. The region 1 lesssim mh lesssim 55 GeV and 3 lesssim mA lesssim
63 GeV is excluded at 95% CL independently of the choice of the 2HDM(II)
parameters.


title:
Measurement of $K^+ \to \pi^0 \pi^0 e^+ \nu$ ($K_{e4}^{00}$) decay using
  stopped positive kaons

abstract:
  The $K^+ \to \pi^0 \pi^0 e^+ \nu$ ($K_{e4}^{00}$) decay has been measured
with stopped positive kaons for a data sample of 216 events. A comparison of
the observed spectra with a Monte Carlo simulation determined the $K_{e4}^{00}$
form factor. The results are compatible with the $K^+ \to \pi^+ \pi^- e^+ \nu$
data, as estimated from the $\Delta I=1/2$ rule. We also established that the
$K_{e4}^{00}$ channel can be used to determine the $\pi$-$\pi$ scattering
lengths.


title:
Measurement of CP-Violating Asymmetries in B0->(rho pi)0 Using a
  Time-Dependent Dalitz Plot Analysis

abstract:
  We present the preliminary measurement of CP-violating asymmetries in
B0->(rhopi)0->pi+pi-pi0 decays using a time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis. The
results are obtained from a data sample of 213 million Y(4S)->BB-bar decays,
collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at
SLAC. This analysis extends the narrow-rho quasi-two-body approximation used in
the previous analysis, by taking into account the interference between the rho
resonances of the three charges. We measure 16 coefficients of the bilinear
form factor terms occurring in the time-dependent decay rate of the B0 meson
with the use of a maximum-likelihood fit. We derive the physically relevant
quantities from these coefficients. We measure the direct CP-violation
parameters Acp = -0.088 +- 0.049 +- 0.013 and C = 0.34 +- 0.11 +- 0.05, where
the first errors are statistical and the second systematic. For the
mixing-induced CP-violation parameter we find S = -0.10 +- 0.14 +- 0.04, and
for the dilution and strong phase shift parameters respectively, we obtain dC =
0.15 +- 0.11 +- 0.03 and dS = 0.22 +- 0.15 +- 0.03. For the angle alpha of the
Unitarity Triangle we measure (113 +27 -17 +-6) deg, while only a weak
constraint is achieved at the significance level of more than two standard
deviations. Finally, for the relative strong phase delta+- between the
B0->rho-pi+ and B0->rho+pi- transitions we find (-67 +28 -31 +- 7) deg, with a
similarly weak constraint at two standard deviations and beyond.


title: Evidence for Direct CP Violation in B0 -> K+- pi-+ Decays

abstract:
  We report evidence for direct CP violation in the decay B0 -> K+-pi-+ with
253/fb of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider.
Using 275 million B B_bar pairs we observe a B -> K+-pi-+ signal with 2140+-53
events. The measured CP violating asymmetry is Acp(K+-pi-+) = -0.101+-0.025
(stat)+-0.005 (syst), corresponding to a significance of 3.9 sigma including
systematics. We also search for CP violation in the decays B+- -> K+-pi0 and
B+- -> pi+-pi0. The measured CP violating asymmetries are Acp(K+-pi0) =
0.04+-0.05(stat)+-0.02(syst) and Acp(pi+-pi0) = -0.02+-0.10(stat)+-0.01(syst),
corresponding to the intervals -0.05 < Acp(K+-pi0) < 0.13 and
-0.18<Acp(pi+-pi0)<0.14 at 90% confidence level.


title: Observation of B0->pi0pi0

abstract:
  We report the first observation of the decay B0->pi0pi0, using a 253/fb data
sample collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the
KEKB e+e- collider. The measured branching fraction is BF(B0->pi0pi0) = {2.32
+0.4-0.5(stat) +0.2-0.3(syst)} x 10^-6, with a significance of 5.8 standard
deviations including systematic uncertainties. We also make the first
measurement of the direct CP violating asymmetry in this mode.


title:
Measurements of Branching Fractions and Polarization in B > K^* rho
  Decays

abstract:
  We present results of a study of the charmless vector-vector decays B^0 ->
K^{*0} rho^0 and B^+ ->K^{*0} rho^+. The results are based on a 140 fb^{-1}
data sample collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric e^+e^-
collider. We obtain the branching fraction B(B^+ -> K^{*0} rho^+)=(6.6 +-
2.2(stat.) +- 0.8 (syst.)) x 10^{-6}, and set upper limits on the branching
fractions B(B^0 -> K^{*0} rho^0)<2.6 x 10^{-6} and B(B^0 -> f_0(980)
K^{*0})<5.2 x 10^{-6}. We also perform a helicity analysis of the rho and K^*
vector mesons in the decay B^+ -> K^{*0} rho^+, and obtain the longitudinal
polarization fraction R_0(B^+ -> K^{*0} rho^+)=0.50 +-
0.19(stat.)+0.05-0.07}(syst.).

abstract:
  The physics potential of the forward physics project at CMS is very rich.
Some of the diffraction and low-x physics channels are briefly discussed.


title: Studies of CP violation in $B^0 \to J/\psi K^{*0}$ decays

abstract:
  An angular analysis for B decays into two vector mesons gives parameters
sensitive to new physics. They are the decay amplitudes of the three helicity
states, the asymmetry in triple product, and the CP violating phase. The
measurements of these quantities are performed for $B^0 \to J/\psi K^{*0}$
decays in a data sample with 253 fb$^{-1}$ taken by the Belle detector in the
KEKB asymmetric $e^+e^-$ collider. With the time-integrated angular analysis,
the decay amplitudes' moduli and phase angles are measured to be
$|A_0|^2=0.585\pm 0.012 \pm 0.09$, $|A_{\parallel}|^2=0.233\pm 0.013\pm 0.008$,
$|A_\perp|^2=0.181\pm 0.012\pm 0.008$, $\arg(A_\parallel)=2.888\pm 0.090\pm
0.008$ radians, and $\arg(A_\perp)=0.239\pm 0.064\pm 0.010$ radians. The
difference between $\arg(A_\parallel)$ and $\arg(A_\perp)$ is $2.649\pm0.110$
radians, which is shifted from $\pi$ by more than $4\sigma$; this can be
interpreted as evidence for the existence of the final state interaction. The
amplitude values are used in triple product correlations to obtainasymmetries
of $A_T^{(1)}=0.101\pm 0.033\pm 0.007$ and $A_T^{(2)}=-0.102\pm 0.032\pm 0.003$
for $B^0$ meson decays, and $\bar{A}_T^{(1)}=0.056\pm 0.030\pm 0.006$ and
$\bar{A}_T^{(2)} = -0.091\pm 0.028\pm 0.003$ for $\bar{B^0}$ meson decays. The
time dependent angular analysis gives the measurements of CP violating
parameters $\sin 2\phi_1$ and $\cos 2\phi_1$ to be $0.30 \pm 0.32 \pm 0.02$ and
$-0.31 \pm 0.91 \pm 0.10$, respectively. The value of $\cos 2\phi_1$ is $-0.56
\pm 0.86 \pm 0.11$ if $\sin 2\phi_1$ is fixed at the world average value
(0.731).


title: Study of time-dependent CP violation in B0 -> J/Psi pi0 decays

abstract:
  We report a measurement of CP asymmetry parameters in the decay B0(B0bar) ->
J/Psi pi0, which is governed by the b->c cbar d transition. The analysis is
based on a 140/fb data sample accumulated at the Upsilon(4S) resonance by the
belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. We fully
reconstruct one neutral B meson in the J/Psi pi0 final state. The accompanying
B meson flavor is identified by its decay products. From the distribution of
proper time intervals between the two B decays, we obtain the following
CP-violating parameters: S_{J/Psi pi0}=-0.72+-0.42+-0.09 and A_{J/Psi
pi0}=-0.01 +-0.29+-0.03.


title:
Time-Dependent CP Violation Effects in Partially Reconstructed $B^0 \to
  D^* \pi$ Decays

abstract:
  We report measurements of time-dependent decay rates for $B^0 \to D^{*\mp}
\pi^\pm$ decays and extraction of CP violation parameters related to $\phi_3$.
We use a partial reconstruction technique, whereby signal events are identified
using information only from the primary pion and the charged pion from the
decay of the $D^{*\mp}$. The analysis uses $140 {\rm fb}^{-1}$ of data
accumulated at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB
asymmetric-energy $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider. We measure the CP violation parameters
$S^+ = 0.035 \pm 0.041 ({\rm stat}) \pm 0.018 ({\rm syst})$ and $S^- = 0.025
\pm 0.041 ({\rm stat}) \pm 0.018 ({\rm syst})$.


title: Measurement of Branching Fractions in B0 -> J/Psi pi+pi- Decay

abstract:
  We report a measurement of the branching fractions in the B0->J/Psi pi+pi-
decay based on a 140/fb data sample collected at the Upsilon(4S) energy with
the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider. Charged pion pairs are found to
arise mainly from rho0 and f2 mesons; an upper limit for the non-resonant
contribution is also set. The following branching fractions are obtained:
Br(B0->J/Psi rho0)=(2.8+-0.3+-0.3)*10^{-5}, Br(B0->J/Psi f2)<1.5*10^{-5}(at 90%

Improved Measurements of $\bar{B}^0 \to D^0 \bar{K}^0$ and $\bar{B}^0
  \to D^0 \bar{K}^{*0}$ Branching Fractions

abstract:
  We report on an improved study of $\bar{B}^0 \to D^{(*)0} \bar{K}^{(*)0}$
decays, based on $274 \times 10^6$ $B{\bar B}$ events collected with the Belle
detector at KEKB. The following branching fractions have been measured: ${\cal
B}(\bar{B}^0 \to D^0 \bar{K}^0) = (3.72 \pm 0.65 \pm 0.37) \times 10^{-5}$ and
${\cal B}(\bar{B}^0 \to D^0 \bar{K}^{*0}) = (3.08 \pm 0.56 \pm 0.31) \times
10^{-5}$. We also obtain evidence with $3.2\sigma$ significance for $\bar{B}^0
\to D^{*0} \bar{K}^0$ with ${\cal B}(\bar{B}^0 \to D^{*0} \bar{K}^0) =
(3.2^{+1.2}_{-1.1} \pm 0.4) \times 10^{-5}$. No significant signal has been
found for the $\bar{B}^0 \to D^{*0} \bar{K}^{*0}$ and $\bar{B}^0 \to
\bar{D}^{(*)0} \bar{K}^{*0}$ decay modes, and upper limits at 90% CL are
presented.


title: Observation of $B^0 \to D_s^+ \pi^-$

abstract:
  We report the first observation of $B^0 \to D_s^+ \pi^-$ and an improved
measurement of ${\bar B^0} \to D_s^+K^-$ based on $274 \times 10^6$ $B{\bar B}$
events collected with the Belle detector at KEKB. We measure the branching
fractions ${\cal B}({\bar B^0} \to D_s^+K^-) = (2.93 \pm 0.55 \pm 0.79) \times
10^{-5}$ and ${\cal B}(B^0 \to D_s^+ \pi^-) = (1.94 \pm 0.47 \pm 0.52) \times
10^{-5}$.


title: Open and Hidden Charm Production in 920 GeV Proton-Nucleus Collisions

abstract:
  The HERA-B collaboration has studied the production of charmonium and open
charm states in collisions of 920 GeV protons with wire targets of different
materials. The acceptance of the HERA-B spectrometer covers negative values of
xF up to xF=-0.3 and a broad range in transverse momentum from 0.0 to 4.8
GeV/c. The studies presented in this paper include J/psi differential
distributions and the suppression of J/psi production in nuclear media.
Furthermore, production cross sections and cross section ratios for open charm
mesons are discussed.


title:
Improved Measurement of CP-Violation Parameters sin(2phi1) and |lambda|,
  B Meson Lifetimes, and B0-B0bar Mixing Parameter Delta m_d

abstract:
  We present a precise measurement of the standard model CP-violation parameter
sin(2phi1), the direct CP violation parameter |lambda|, the lifetimes of
charged and neutral B mesons and their ratio, and the B0-B0bar mixing parameter
Delta m_d based on a sample of 152 x 10^6 BB-bar pairs collected at the Y(4S)
resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider.
One of two B mesons is fully reconstructed in a CP-eigenstate or a
flavor-eigenstate decay channel. The flavor of the accompanying B meson is
identified from its decay products. From the asymmetry in the distribution of
the time interval between the two B meson decay points, we obtain sin(2phi1) =
0.728 +/- 0.056(stat) +/- 0.023(syst), |lambda| = 1.007 +/- 0.041(stat) +/-
0.033(syst), tau_B0 = 1.534 +/- 0.008(stat) +/- 0.010(syst) ps, tau_B+ = 1.635
+/- 0.011(stat) +/- 0.011(syst) ps, tau_B+/tau_B0 = 1.066 +/- 0.008(stat) +/-
0.008(syst) and Delta m_d = 0.511 +/- 0.005(stat) +/- 0.006(syst) ps-1. The
results for sin(2phi1) and |lambda| are the most precise measurements performed
so far, and are consistent with the standard model expectations. The
significance of the observed deviation from unity in the lifetime ratio exceeds
five standard deviations.


title: Search for D^0-\bar{D^0} mixing using semileptonic decays at Belle

abstract:
  A search for mixing in the neutral D meson system was performed using
semileptonic D^0 -> K- e+ nu decays. The flavor of neutral D mesons at
production was tagged by the charge of the slow pion from the decay D*+ -> D^0
\pi+. The measurement was performed using 140 fb^-1 of data recorded by the
Belle detector. The yield of right and wrong sign decays arising from un-mixed
and mixed events, respectively, was determined by a fit to kinematic
observables. From the number of signal events we derive an upper limit for the
time-integrated mixing rate r_D < 1.4 x 10^-3 at 90% C.L.


title:
Measurement of the Branching Fractions for Inclusive $B^-$ and $\bar
  B^0$ Decays to Flavor-tagged $D$, $D_s$ and $\Lambda_c$

abstract:
  We report on the inclusive branching fractions of $B^-$ and of ${\bar B}^0$
mesons decaying to ${D^0 X}$, ${{\bar D}^0 X}$, ${D^+ X}$, ${D^- X}$, ${D_s^+
X}$, ${D_s^- X}$, ${\Lambda_c^+ X}$, ${{\bar \Lambda}_c^- X}$, based on a
sample of 88.9 million $B \bar B$ events recorded with the $BABAR$ detector at
the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance. Events are selected by completely reconstructing
one $B$ and searching for a reconstructed charmed particle in the rest of the
event. We measure the number of charmed and of anti-charmed particles per $B$
decay and derive the total charm yield per $B^-$ decay, $n_c^- = 1.313 \pm
0.037 \pm 0.062 ^{+0.063}_{-0.042} $, and per ${\bar B}^0$ decay, $n_c^0 =
1.276 \pm 0.062 \pm 0.058 ^{+0.066}_{-0.046}$ where the first uncertainty is
statistical, the second is systematic, and the third reflects the charm
branching-fraction uncertainties.


title: Measurement of the Atmospheric Muon Spectrum from 20 to 3000 GeV

abstract:
  The absolute muon flux between 20 GeV and 3000 GeV is measured with the L3
magnetic muon spectrometer for zenith angles ranging from 0 degree to 58
degree. Due to the large exposure of about 150 m2 sr d, and the excellent
momentum resolution of the L3 muon chambers, a precision of 2.3 % at 150 GeV in
the vertical direction is achieved.
  The ratio of positive to negative muons is studied between 20 GeV and 500
GeV, and the average vertical muon charge ratio is found to be 1.285 +- 0.003
(stat.) +- 0.019 (syst.).


title:
Measurement of the inclusive charmless semileptonic branching fraction
  of B meson using the full reconstruction tag

abstract:
  We present a preliminary measurement of the inclusive charmless semileptonic
branching fraction of the B meson, based on $140 fb^{-1}$ of data collected by
the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ asymmetric collider. Events are tagged
by fully reconstructing one of the B mesons, produced in pairs from
$\Upsilon(4S)$. The signal for $b \to u$ semileptonic decay is distinguished
from the $b \to c$ semileptonic background using the hadronic and leptonic
invariant mass distributions $M_X$ and $q^2$. We find the partial branching
fraction for the kinematical region given by $M_X < 1.7 GeV/c^2$ and $q^2>8
{GeV}^2/c^2$, $\Delta{\cal{B}}(B \to X_u \ell \nu) = [0.99 \pm 0.15 (stat) \pm
0.18 (syst) \pm 0.04 (b\to u) \pm 0.07 (b\to c)]\times 10^{-3}$. Using a
theoretical prediction for the extrapolation to the full range of $M_X$ and
$q^2$ variables, we obtain ${\cal{B}}(B \to X_u \ell \nu) = [3.37 \pm 0.50
(stat)\pm 0.60 (syst) \pm 0.14 (b\to u) \pm 0.24 (b\to c) \pm 0.50 (f_u error)]
\times 10^{-3}$. From this measurement, the magnitude of the the
Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $V_{ub}$ is $|V_{ub}|= [5.54 \pm 0.42
(stat) \pm 0.50 (syst) \pm 0.12 (b\to u) \pm 0.19 (b\to c) \pm 0.42 (f_u error)
\pm 0.27 ({\cal{B}} \to |V_{ub}| error)] \times 10^{-3}$.


title: Properties of the X(3872) at Belle

abstract:
  We report recent results on the properties of the X(3872) produced via the B+
--> K+ X(3872) decay process. We observe X -->pi+pi-pi0 J/psi decays where the
3pi invariant masses cluster near the upper kinematic boundary suggesting that
they originate from sub-threshold decays to virtual omega(782) mesons. This is
consistent with expectations for a DD*-bar bound state interpretation for the
X(3872). In addition, we constrain the possible charmonium-state assignments
for this particles. Results are obtained from a 253/fb data sample that
contains 274 million BB-barr pairs that was collected near the Upsilon(4S)
resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e+e- collider.


title:
Search for Lepton and Baryon Number Violating tau^- Decays into
  \bar{p}gamma, \bar{p}pi^0, \bar{Lambda}pi^-, and Lambda pi^-

abstract:
  We have searched for decays that violate both lepton and baryon number using
data collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric e^+e^- collider. No
signals are found in tau^- -> \bar{p} gamma, tau^- -> \bar{p} pi^0, tau^- ->
\bar{Lambda} pi^-, and tau^- -> Lambda pi^- and we set upper limits on the
branching fractions of B(tau^- -> \bar{p}gamma) < 3.0*10^{-7}, B(tau^- ->
\bar{p}pi^0) < 6.5*10^{-7}, B(tau^- -> \bar{Lambda}pi^-) < 1.3*10^{-7}, and
B(tau^- -> Lambda pi^-) < 0.70*10^{-7} at the 90% confidence level. The former
two results improve the previous limits by a factor of 12 and 23, respectively,
while the latter two are the first searches ever performed.


title:
Measurements of $\psi(2S)$ decays into $\phi \pi^0$, $\phi \eta$, $\phi
  \eta^{'}$, $\omega \eta$, and $\omega \eta^{'}$

abstract:
  Decays of the $\psi(2S)$ into Vector plus Pseudoscalar meson final states
have been studied with 14 million $\psi(2S)$ events collected with the BESII
detector. Branching fractions of $\psi(2S) \rar\phi\eta$, $\phi\etap$, and
$\omega\etap$, and upper limits of $\psi(2S) \rar \phi\piz$ and $\omega\eta$
are obtained: $B(\psi(2S) \rar\phi\eta) = (3.3\pm 1.1 \pm 0.5) \times 10^{-5}$,
$B(\psi(2S) \rar\phi\etap) = (3.1\pm 1.4 \pm 0.7)\times 10^{-5}$, and
$B(\psi(2S) \rar\omega\etap) = (3.2^{+2.4}_{-2.0} \pm 0.7) \times 10^{-5}$; and
$B(\psi(2S) \rar\phi\piz) < 0.40 \times 10^{-5}$, and $B(\psi(2S)
\rar\omega\eta) < 3.1 \times 10^{-5}$ at the 90 % C.L.. These results are used
to test the pQCD ``12% rule''.


title: Improved Measurement of the Electroweak Penguin Process B->Xsll

abstract:
  We present an improved measurement of the branching fraction for the
electroweak penguin process B->Xsl+l-, where l is an electron or a muon and Xs
is a hadronic system containing an s-quark. The measurement is based on a
sample of 152 * 10^6 ~ Upsilon(4S) -> BB-bar events collected with the Belle
detector at the KEKB e+e- asymmetric-energy collider. The Xs hadronic system is
reconstructed from one K+- or K0s and up to four pions, where at most one pion
can be neutral. Summing over both lepton flavors, the inclusive branching
fraction is measured to be Br(B->Xsll)=(4.11 +- 0.83(stat.) +0.74 -0.70 (syst.)
)*10^{-6} for m(ll) > 0.2GeV.


title: Observation of B -> K eta gamma

abstract:
  We report measurements of radiative B decays with K eta gamma final states,
using a data sample of 140 /fb recorded at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the
Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- asymmetric energy collider. We observe B -> K
eta gamma for the first time with a branching fraction of (6.9 +1.7-1.6 (stat)
+1.3-1.0 (syst)) X 10^{-6} for M(Keta) < 2.4 GeV/c2. We also set an upper limit
on B -> K3*(1780) gamma.

title:
Measurement of the Strong Coupling Constant alpha_S from the Four-Jet
  Rate in e+e- Annihilation using JADE data

abstract:
  Data from e+e- annihilation into hadrons collected by the JADE experiment at
centre-of-mass energies between 14 GeV and 44 GeV were used to study the
four-jet rate as a function of the Durham algorithm's resolution parameter
y_cut. The four-jet rate was compared to a QCD NLO order calculations including
NLLA resummation of large logarithms. The strong coupling constant measured
from the four-jet rate is alpha_S(M_Z) = 0.1169 +/- 0.0004 (stat) +/- 0.0012
(expt) +/- 0.0021 (had) +/- 0.0007 (theo), alpha_S(M_Z) = 0.1169 +/- 0.0026
(total error) in agreement with the world average.


title: Study of moments of event shapes in e+e- annihilation using JADE data

abstract:
  Data from e+e- annihilation into hadrons collected by the JADE experiment at
centre-of-mass energies between 14 GeV and 44 GeV were used to study moments of
event shape distributions. The data were compared with Monte Carlo models and
with predictions from QCD NLO order calculations. The strong coupling constant
measured from the moments is alpha_S(M_Z) = 0.1286 +/- 0.0007 (stat) +/- 0.0011
(expt) +/- 0.0022 (had) +/- 0.0068 (theo), alpha_S(M_Z) = 0.1286 +/- 0.0072
(total error), consistent with the world average. However, systematic
deficiencies in the QCD NLO order predictions are visible for some of the
higher moments.


title: Transversity and Spin Structure Functions

abstract:
  Measurements of single-spin asymmetries for semi-inclusive electro-production
of pions and kaons in deep-inelastic scattering with transverse target
polarization open a new window on the transverse quark and gluon structure of
the nucleon. The first experimental results from such measurements as well as
experiments in progress are discussed. Properties of the spin-dependent Collins
fragmentation function and prospects for extracting the transversity are
reviewed and evidence for nonzero Sivers asymmetries as manifestations of quark
orbital angular momentum is evaluated.


title:
Search for D^0-D^0bar mixing in D^0 -> K+pi- decays and measurement of
  the doubly-Cabibbo-suppressed decay rate

abstract:
  We have searched for mixing in the D0-D0bar system by measuring the
decay-time distribution of D0->K+pi- decays. The analysis uses 90 fb^{-1} of
data collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider. We fit the
decay-time distribution for the mixing parameters x' and y' and also for the
parameter R_D, which is the ratio of the rate for the doubly-Cabibbo-suppressed
decay D0->K+pi- to that for the Cabibbo-favored decay D0->K-pi+. We do these
fits both assuming CP conservation and allowing for CP violation. We use a
frequentist method to obtain a 95% C.L. region in the x'^2 - y' plane. Assuming
no mixing, we measure R_D = (0.381 \pm 0.017 +0.008 -0.016) %.


title:
Observation of a near-threshold omega-J/psi mass enhancement in
  exclusive B-->K omega J/psi decays

abstract:
  We report the observation of a near-threshold enhancement in the omega-J/psi
invariant mass distribution for exclusive B-->K omega J/psi decays. The results
are obtained from a 253 fb-1 data sample that contains 275 million BB-bar meson
pairs that were collected near the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle
detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e+e- collider. The statistical
significance of the omega-J/psi mass enhancement is estimated to be greater
than 8 sigma.


title: Improved Measurement of CP Asymmetries in B0 -> (ccbar)K0(*) Decays

abstract:
  We present results on time-dependent CP asymmetries in neutral B decays to
several CP eigenstates. The measurements use a data sample of about 227 million
Upsilon(4S) -> BBbar decays collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II
asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. The amplitude of the CP asymmetry,
sin2Beta in the Standard Model, is derived from decay-time distributions from
events in which one neutral B meson is fully reconstructed in a final state
containing a charmonium meson and the other $B$ meson is determined to be
either a B0 or B0bar from its decay products. We measure sin2Beta = 0.722 +/-
0.040 (stat.) +/- 0.23 (syst.) in agreement with the Standard Model
expectation.


title: The characteristics of neutrinonuclear reactions at E_nu = 1 - 3 GeV

abstract:
  For the first time, the characteristics of the charged current
neutrinonuclear interactions are investigated at $E_{\nu}$ = 1 - 3 GeV using
the data obtained with SKAT propane-freon bubble chamber irradiated in the
neutrino beam at Serpukhov accelerator. The $E_{\nu}$ - dependence of the mean
multiplicities of different types of secondary particles and their
multiplicity, momentum and angular distributions are measured.


title:
Study of the Suppressed Decays B^{\pm} \to[K^{\mp}\pi^{\pm}]_{D}K^{\pm}
  at Belle

abstract:
  We report a study of the suppressed decay $B^{-} \to
[K^{+}\pi^{-}]_{D}K^{-}$(and its charge-conjugate mode) at Belle, where
$[K^{+}\pi^{-}]_{D}$ indicates that the $K^{+}\pi^{-}$ pair originates from a
neutral $D$ meson. A data sample containing 274 million $B\bar{B}$ pairs
recorded at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB
asymmetric $e^{+}e^{-}$ storage ring is used. This decay mode can be used to
extract the CKM angle $\phi_{3}$ using the so-called Atwood-Dunietz-Soni
method. The signal for $B^{-} \to [K^{+}\pi^{-}]_{D}K^{-}$ has $2.7\sigma$
statistical significance, and we set a limit on the ratio of B decay amplitudes
$r_B < 0.28$ at the 90% confidence level. We observe a signal with $5.8\sigma$
statistical significance in the related mode, $B^{-} \to
[K^{+}\pi^{-}]_{D}\pi^{-}$.


title: Determination of the LEP Beam Energy using Radiative Fermion-pair Events

abstract:
  We present a determination of the LEP beam energy using "radiative return"
fermion-pair events recorded at centre-of-mass energies from 183 GeV to 209
GeV. We find no evidence of a disagreement between the OPAL data and the LEP
Energy Workings Group's standard calibration. Including the energy- averaged 11
MeV uncertainty in the standard determination, the beam energy we obtain from
the OPAL data is higher than that obtained from the LEP calibration by
0+-34(stat.)+-27(syst.)MeV


title: Measurement of Branching Fraction and CP Asymmetry in B-> eta h Decays

abstract:
  We report measurements of $B$ to pseudoscalar-pseudoscalar decays with at
least one eta meson in the final state using 140 fb^{-1} of data collected by
the Belle detector at KEKB e^+ e^- collider. We observe the decays of B^+-> eta
pi^+ and B^+-> eta K^+; the measured branching fractions are Br(B^+-> eta pi^+)
= (4.8^{+0.8}_{-0.7}(stat) +- 0.3 (sys)) * 10^-6 and Br(B^+-> eta K^+) = (2.1
+- 0.6 (stat) +- 0.2 (sys)) * 10^-6. Their corresponding CP violating
asymmetries are measured to be 0.07 +- 0.15 +- 0.03 for eta pi^+- and -0.49 +-
0.31 +- 0.07 for eta K^+-. No significant signals are found for neutral B meson
decays. We report the following upper limits on branching fractions at the 90%
confidence level: Br(B^0 -> eta K^0) < 2.0 * 10^-6, Br(B^0-> eta pi^0) < 2.5 *
10^-6 and Br(B^0 -> eta eta) < 2.0 * 10^-6.


title: Search for B^+ -> mu^+ nu and B^+ -> l^+ nu gamma decays

abstract:
  We have searched for the leptonic and radiative leptonic B decays, B^+ ->
mu^+ nu, B^+ -> e^+ nu gamma and B^+ -> mu^+ nu gamma. Using a 140 fb^{-1} data
sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric e^+ e^-
collider, we find no evidence for signals in any mode and set the following
preliminary upper limits at 90% confidence level:
  BR(B^+ -> mu^+ nu) < 2.0 * 10^-6,
  BR(B^+ -> e^+ nu gamma) < 2.2 * 10^-5, and BR(B^+ -> mu^+ nu gamma) < 2.3 *
10^-5.


title: Photon Transitions in \psi(2S) Decays to \chi_{cJ}(1P) and \eta_c(1S)

abstract:
  We have studied the inclusive photon spectrum in psi(2S) decays using the
CLEO III detector. We present the most precise measurements of electric dipole
(E1) photon transition rates for psi(2S)--> gamma chicJ(1P) (J=0,1,2). We also
confirm the hindered magnetic dipole (M1) transition, psi(2S)-->gamma etac(1S).
However, the direct M1 transition psi(2S)-->gamma etac(2S) observed by the
Crystal Ball as a narrow peak at a photon energy of 91 MeV is not found in our
data.


title:
Measurement of single pi0 production in neutral current neutrino
  interactions with water by a 1.3 GeV wide band muon neutrino beam

abstract:
  Neutral current single pi0 production induced by neutrinos with a mean energy
of 1.3 GeV is measured at a 1000 ton water Cherenkov detector as a near
detector of the K2K long baseline neutrino experiment. The cross section for
this process relative to the total charged current cross section is measured to
be 0.064 +- 0.001 (stat.) +- 0.007 (sys.). The momentum distribution of
produced pi0s is measured and is found to be in good agreement with an
expectation from the present knowledge of the neutrino cross sections.


title: Low-energy neutrino beams with an upgraded Fermilab proton driver

abstract:
  The beam properties of low-energy neutrino beams that would be possible at an
upgraded 2 MW Fermilab 8 GeV Proton Source are described. In particular three
options are considered; (i) a MiniBooNE-like beam using a conventional neutrino
horn, (ii) a decay at rest neutrino source, and (iii) a neutrino beam
downstream of a solenoid decay channel. In all three cases the fluxes are
sufficiently large to provide an interesting physics program. Some physics
examples are considered.


title:
D+ -> K-K+pi+ Meson Decays: A Search for CP Violation and a Measurement
  of the Branching Ratio

abstract:
  We present a preliminary measurement of the CP asymmetry in singly
Cabibbo-suppressed D+ -> K-K+\pi+ decays and in the resonant decays D+ -> \phi
\pi+ and D+ -> K*0 K+. We use a data sample of 79.9 fb^{-1} recorded by the
BABAR detector. The Cabibbo-favored Ds+ -> K-K+\pi+ branching fraction is used
as normalization in the measurements to reduce systematic uncertainties.
Preliminary results of the CP asymmetries obtained are A_{CP}(K+K-\pi \pm) =
(1.4 \pm 1.0(stat.) \pm 1.1(syst.))\times 10^{-2}, A_{CP}(\phi\pi \pm) = (0.2
\pm 1.5(stat.) \pm 0.8(syst.))\times 10^{-2}, and A_{CP}(K^{\pm} K*0) = (0.9
\pm 1.7(stat.) \pm 0.8(syst.))\times 10^{-2}. A preliminary determination of
the branching ratio is \frac{\Gamma (D+ -> K-K+\pi+)}{\Gamma(D+ -> K-\pi+\pi+)}
=(10.7 \pm 0.1(stat.) \pm 0.2(syst.))\times 10^{-2}.


title: Search for the b --> d gamma process

abstract:
  We report search results for the flavor-changing neutral current process b
--> d gamma with a data sample containing 274 million B meson pairs accumulated
at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB. We studied the
exclusive decays B- --> rho- gamma, B0bar --> rho0 gamma, and B0bar --> omega
gamma, and find no significant signal. We set an upper limit for a combined
branching fraction Br(B --> (rho,omega) gamma) < 1.4 x 10-6 at the 90%
confidence level, which is normalized to that of B- --> rho- gamma assuming an
isospin relation between the three modes.


title: Observation of B+ --> K1(1270)+ gamma

abstract:
  We report the observation of the radiative decay B+ --> K1(1270)+ gamma using
a data sample of 140 fb-1 taken at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle
detector at the KEKB e+e- collider. We find the branching fraction to be Br(B+
--> K1(1270)+ gamma) = (4.28 +- 0.94(stat.) +- 0.43(syst.)) x 10-5 with a
statistical significance of 9.2sigma. We find no significant signal for B+ -->
K1(1400)+ gamma and set an upper limit Br(B+ --> K1(1400)+ gamma) < 1.44 x 10-5
at the 90% confidence level. We also measure inclusive branching fractions for
B+ --> K+ pi+ pi- gamma and B0 --> K0 pi+ pi- gamma in the mass range 1 GeV/c^2
< M(K pi pi) < 2 GeV/c^2.


title:
Moments of the Hadronic Mass Spectrum in Inclusive Semileptonic B Decays
  at Belle

abstract:
  We report a measurement of the first and second moment of the hadronic mass
distribution M_X in B -> X_c l nu decays for lepton threshold momenta ranging
from 0.9 to 1.6 GeV/c in the center of mass frame. The measurement uses B Bbar
events in which the hadronic decay of one B meson is fully reconstructed and a
charged lepton from the decay of the other B meson is identified. These results
are obtained from a 140 fb^-1 data sample collected near the Upsilon(4S)
resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e^+ e^-
collider.


title:
Monte Carlo Study of the abBA Experiment: Detector Response and Physics
  Analysis

abstract:
  The abBA collaboration proposes to conduct a comprehensive program of precise
measurements of neutron $\beta$-decay coefficients $a$ (the correlation between
the neutrino momentum and the decay electron momentum), $b$ (the electron
energy spectral distortion term), $A$ (the correlation between the neutron spin
and the decay electron momentum), and $B$ (the correlation between the neutron
spin and the decay neutrino momentum) at a cold neutron beam facility. We have
used a GEANT4-based code to simulate the propagation of decay electrons and
protons in the electromagnetic spectrometer and study the energy and timing
response of a pair of Silicon detectors. We used these results to examine
systematic effects and find the uncertainties with which the physics parameters
$a$, $b$, $A$, and $B$ can be extracted from an over-determined experimental
data set.


title:
Measurement of Polarization and Triple-Product Correlations in B -> phi
  K^* Decays

abstract:
  We present a measurement of the decay amplitudes and triple-product
correlations in B -> phi K^* decays based on 140 fb^-1 of data recorded at the
Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB e^+ e^- storage ring.
The decay amplitudes for the different phi K^* helicity states are measured
from the angular distributions of final state particles in the transversity
basis. The longitudinal and transverse complex amplitude moduli and angles are
|A_0|^2 = 0.51 +- 0.06 +- 0.04, |A_perp|^2 = 0.24 +- 0.06 +- 0.03,
arg(A_parallel) = -2.21 +- 0.22 +- 0.05 rad, and arg(A_perp) = 0.72 +- 0.21 +-
0.06 rad. The T-violating asymmetries through triple-product correlations are
measured to be consistent with zero.

Search for $B^0 \to p \bar{p}$, $\Lambda \bar{\Lambda}$ and $B^+ \to p
  \bar{\Lambda}$ at Belle

abstract:
  We report results of a search for the charmless two-body baryonic decays B^0
\to p \bar{p}, B^0 \to \Lambda \bar{\Lambda}, and B^+\to p \bar{\Lambda} based
on the analysis of a 140 fb^{-1} data sample. We set 90% confidence level upper
limits on their branching fractions: B(B^0 \to p \bar{p}) < 4.1 x 10^{-7},
B(B^0 \to \Lambda \bar{\Lambda}) < 6.9 x 10^{-7}$, and B(B^+ \to p
\bar{\Lambda}) < 4.9 x 10^{-7}.


title: Search for B -> tau nu at Belle

abstract:
  We present a search for the decay B -> tau nu in a 140 fb^-1 data sample
collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB
asymmetric B factory. Combinatorial and continuum backgrounds are suppressed by
selecting a sample of events with one fully reconstructed B. The decay products
of the other side B in the event are analyzed to search for a B -> tau nu
decay. We find no significant evidence for a signal and set a 90% confidence
level upper limit of Br(B -> tau nu) < 2.9 * 10^-4. All results are
preliminary.


title: Measurement of Exclusive B -> X_ulnu Decays with D^(*)lnu Decay Tagging

abstract:
  We report on a measurement of the charmless semileptonic B decays,
B0->pi^-l^+nu and B0->rho^-l^+nu, based on 140 fb^{-1} data collected with the
Belle detector at the KEKB e^+e^- asymmetric collider. In this analysis,
accompanying B mesons are reconstructed from semileptonic B->D^(*)lnu decays,
which enables us to detect the signal with high purity and with marginal
statistics. We found branching fractions of Br(B0->pi^-l^+nu)=(1.76 \pm 0.28
\pm 0.20 \pm 0.03)10^{-4} and Br(B0->rho^-l^+nu)=(2.54 \pm 0.78 \pm 0.85 \pm
0.30)10^{-4}, where the errors are statistical, experimental systematic,
systematic due to form-factor uncertainties. We present also the branching
fractions in three q^2 intervals; q^2 < 8, 8 \leq q^2 < 16, q^2 \geq 16
GeV^2/c^2, for each decay mode. Based on these results, the magnitude of the
Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element V_{ub} is extracted. All of the
presented results are preliminary.


title:
Search for Supersymmetry with Gauge-Mediated Breaking in Diphoton Events
  at D0

abstract:
  We report the results of a search for supersymmetry (SUSY) with
gauge-mediated breaking in the missing transverse energy distribution of
inclusive diphoton events using 263 pb$^{-1}$ of data collected by the D0
experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider in 2002--2004. No excess is
observed above the background expected from standard model processes, and lower
limits on the masses of the lightest neutralino and chargino of about 108 and
195 GeV, respectively, are set at the 95% confidence level. These are the most
stringent limits to date for models with gauge-mediated SUSY breaking with a
short-lived neutralino as the next-lightest SUSY particle.


title: B_d mixing and prospects for B_s mixing at D0

abstract:
  Measurement of the B_s oscillation frequency via B_s mixing analyses provides
a powerful constraint on the CKM matrix elements. The study of B_d oscillations
is an important step towards B_s mixing and a preliminary measurement of Delta
m_d has been made with ~250 pb^-1 of data collected with the upgraded Run II D0
detector. Different flavor tagging algorithms have been developed and are being
optimized for use on a large set of B_s mesons that have been reconstructed in
different semileptonic decay modes.


title: Experimental Results and Theoretical Developments of Muon g-2

abstract:
  The anomalous magnetic moments of both positive and negative muons are
measured to the precision of 0.7 parts per million. Two values are in good
agreement. The standard model calculations of muon g-2 are under further
studies, especially the descrepancies between $e^+e^-$ and $\tau$ data. The
differences between experimental result and the standard model calculations are
$2.4\sigma$ for $e^+e^-$ data and $0.9\sigma$ for $\tau$ data.


title:
Inclusive Production of D^+, D^0, D_s^+ and D^*+ Mesons in Deep
  Inelastic Scattering at HERA

abstract:
  Inclusive production cross sections are measured in deep inelastic scattering
at HERA for meson states composed of a charm quark and a light antiquark or the
charge conjugate. The measurements cover the kinematic region of photon
virtuality 2 < Q^2 < 100 GeV^2, inelasticity 0.05 < y < 0.7, D meson transverse
momenta p_t(D) > 2.5 GeV and pseudorapidity |eta(D)| < 1.5. The identification
of the D-meson decays and the reduction of the combinatorial background profit
from the reconstruction of displaced secondary vertices by means of the H1
silicon vertex detector. The production of charmed mesons containing the light
quarks u, d and s is found to be compatible with a description in which the
hard scattering is followed by a factorisable and universal hadronisation
process.


title: Kaon Decays and Vus

abstract:
  Unitarity for the first row of the quark mixing matrix appears to be fully
satisfied by the value of Vus obtained from recent new measurements of kaon
semileptonic decay rates.


title: Tevatron Results on Top Quark Physics

abstract:
  The CDF and D0 collaborations at Fermilab's Tevatron p-pbar collider have in
place an extensive program to measure fundamental properties of the top quark.
Recent results from Run I (sqrt-s = 1.8 TeV) and Run II (sqrt-s = 1.96 TeV) on
the top quark's production, mass, and decays are presented here. All results
are consistent within their uncertainties with the Standard Model expectations
for the top quark.


title: Top Quark Mass Measurements at CDF

abstract:
  Recent measurements of the mass of the top quark are presented using 162 pb-1
of data of ppbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV collected by the CDF detector
at the Tevatron collider during Run II. The analyses focus on the semi-leptonic
decay mode with one or two identified bottom quarks. The Template Method
reconstructs the invariant mass of the top quark in each event. The
Multivariate Template Method enhances this approach by adding information on
the event topology. The Dynamical Likelihood Method discriminates between
possible mass values using top quark decay observables and attempts to use the
maximum amount of information on top quarks provided by the Standard Model. All
three methods produce similar results. The Dynamical Likelihood Method yields a
top quark mass of 177.8+-4.5/5.0(stat)+-6.2(sys)GeV/c^2.

  Finite neutrino magnetic moments are consequences of non-zero neutrino
masses. The particle physics foundations of the subject are summarized. The
astrophysical bounds as well as the results from recent direct experiments are

title:
Improved Measurements of Color-Suppressed Decays B0bar -> D0 pi0, D0 eta
  and D0 omega

abstract:
  We present preliminary improved measurements of the branching fractions of
the color-suppressed decays B0bar -> D0 h0, where h0 represents the three light
neutral mesons pi0, eta and omega. The measurements are based on a data sample
of 140fb-1 collected at the Upsilon(4S) with the Belle detector at the KEKB
energy-asymmetric e+e- collider, corresponding to seven times the luminosity of
the previous Belle measurements.


title:
Study of decay mechanisms in B- -> Lambda_c+ pbar pi- decay and
  observation of low mass structure in the (Lambda_c+ pbar) system

abstract:
  Using a sample of 152 million BBbar pairs accumulated with the Belle detector
at the KEKB e+e- collider, we perform a Dalitz plot analysis of the three-body
charmed decay B- -> Lambda_c+ p_bar pi-. The intermediate two-body decay B- ->
Sigma_c(2455)0 p_bar is observed for the first time with a branching fraction
of (3.67^{+0.74}_{-0.66}+-0.36+-0.95)x10^(-5) and a statistical significance of
8.4sigma. We also observe a low-mass enhancement in the (Lambda_c+ p_bar)
system, which can be parameterized as a Breit-Wigner function with a mass of
(3.35^{+0.01}_{-0.02}+-0.02)GeV/c^2 and a width of
(0.07^{+0.04}_{-0.03}+-0.04)GeV/c^2. We measure the product of the
corresponding decay branching fractions to be
(3.87^{+0.77}_{-0.72}+-0.43+-1.01)x10^(-5)$ with a statistical significance of
6.2sigma. The errors are statistical, systematic, and that of the Lambda_c^+ ->
pK-pi+ decay branching fraction.


title: Rare Hadronic B Decays

abstract:
  A review of recent results on branching fractions and time-integrated CP
asymmetries of rare B_u and B_d decays to mesonic final states from BABAR,
Belle and CLEO experiments is presented.


title: Study of $J/\psi \to \omega K^+K^-$

abstract:
  New data are presented on $J/\psi \to \omega K^+K^-$ from a sample of 58M
$J/\psi$ events in the upgraded BES II detector at the BEPC. There is a
conspicuous signal for $f_0(1710) \to K^+K^-$ and a peak at higher mass which
may be fitted with $f_2(2150) \to K\bar K$. From a combined analysis with
$\omega \pi ^+ \pi ^-$ data, the branching ratio
$BR(f_0(1710)\to\pi\pi)/BR(f_0(1710) \to K\bar K)$ is $< 0.11$ at the 95%
confidence level.


title:
Observation of $B^0 \to D^{*-} (5\pi)^+$, $B^+ \to D^{*-} (4\pi)^{++}$
  and $B^+ \to \bar{D}^{*0} (5\pi)^+$

abstract:
  We report the first observation of a number of decay modes of the B meson,
namely $B^0 \to D^{*-} (5\pi)^+$, $B^+ \to D^{*-} (4\pi)^{++}$ and $B^+ \to
\bar{D}^{*0} (5\pi)^+$, where $(n\pi)$ implies the combination of n charged
pions. The analysis is based on a 140 fb$^{-1}$ data sample collected at the
$\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB. We measure
${\cal{B}}(B^0 \to D^{*-} (5\pi)^+) = (4.72 \pm 0.59 \pm 0.71) \times 10^{-3}$,
${\cal{B}}(B^+ \to D^{*-} (4\pi)^{++} = (2.56 \pm 0.26 \pm 0.33) \times
10^{-3}$ and ${\cal{B}}(B^+ \to \bar{D}^{*0} (5\pi)^+) = (5.67 \pm 0.91 \pm
0.85) \times 10^{-3}$. We also provide improved measurements of the branching
fractions for the decay modes $B^0 \to D^{*-} (3\pi)^+$, $B^+ \to \bar{D}^{*0}
(3\pi)^+$ and $B^0 \to \bar{D}^{*0} (4\pi)^0$.


title: Observation of B+ -> proton Lambdabar gamma

abstract:
  We report the first observation of the radiative hyperonic B decay B+ ->
proton Lambdabar gamma, using a 140 fb-1 data sample recorded on the
Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy
e+e- collider. The measured branching fraction is B(B+ -> proton Lambdabar
gamma) = (2.16 ^{+0.58}_{-0.53} +- 0.20) times 10^{-6}. A search for B+ ->
proton Sigmabar gamma yields no significant signal, so we set a 90%
confidence-level upper limit on the branching fraction of B(B+ -> proton
Sigmabar gamma) < 3.3 times 10^{-6}.


title:
Study of the Baryon-Antibaryon Low-Mass Enhancements in Charmless
  Three-body Baryonic B Decays

abstract:
  The angular distributions of the baryon-antibaryon low-mass enhancements seen
in the charmless three-body baryonic B decays B^+ \to p pbar K^+, B^0 \to p
pbar K_S^0, and B^0 \to p Lambdabar pi^- are reported. Searches for the
pentaquarks Theta^+ and Theta^{++} in the relevant decay modes and possible
glueball states in the p pbar systems are presented. The analysis is based on a
140 fb^{-1} data sample recorded on the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle
detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider.


title: Observation of the rare decay K_S -> pi^0mu^+mu^-

abstract:
  A search for the decay K_S -> pi^0mu^+mu^- has been made by the NA48/1
Collaboration at the CERN SPS accelerator. The data were collected during 2002
with a high-intensity K_S beam. Six events were found with a background
expectation of 0.22^+0.18_-0.11 event. Using a vector matrix element and unit
form factor, the measured branching ratio is B(K_S ->
pi^0mu^+mu^-)=[2.9^+1.5_-1.2(stat)+/-0.2(syst)]x10^{-9}.


title: CP violation in B-$\bar{B}$ mixing with dilepton events

abstract:
  We report a measurement of the charge asymmetry for same-sign dileptons in
$B^0$-$\bar B^0$ mixing. The data were collected with the Belle detector at
KEKB. Using a data sample of 78 fb^{-1} recorded at the $\Upsilon(4S)$
resonance and 9 fb^{-1} recorded at an energy 60 MeV below the resonance, we
measure $\Asl = (-0.13 \pm 0.60(\text{stat}) \pm 0.56(\text{sys}))%$.


title:
A method of extracting the mass of the top quark in the di-lepton
  channel using the D0 Detector

abstract:
  We present a method for extracting the mass of the top quark from the
di-lepton decays of top anti-top quark pairs. In this decay channel two
neutrinos remain undetected. Extraction of the mass of the top quark by
kinematic reconstruction is not possible because the event is
under-constrained. We therefore employ a dynamical likelihood method to solve
the problem.


title: The Search for CP Violation in Hyperon Decays

abstract:
  Searches for experimental manifestations of CP violation have born much fruit
in recent years with the discovery of direct CP violation and the first
evidence of CP violation outside of the neutral kaon system. Nevertheless we
still know little about CP violation: its origin remains a mystery and there is
little hard evidence that it is the sole province of the standard model.
Searches for CP violation in hyperon decays offer promising possibilities as
they are sensitive to certain beyond-the-standard-model sources that are not
probed in other systems. We report on the status of such searches, in
particular a new result from the Fermilab HyperCP experiment which has greatly
increased the sensitivity over previous measurements and is confronting some
beyond-the-standard-model theory predictions.


title:
Moments of the Electron Energy Spectrum in Semileptonic B Decays at
  Belle

abstract:
  We report a measurement of the inclusive electron energy spectrum for
semileptonic decays of B mesons in a 140 fb^-1 data sample collected near the
Upsilon(4S) resonance, with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy
e^+ e^- collider. We determine the first and second moments of the spectrum for
threshold values of the electron energy between 0.6 and 1.5 GeV.


title: Measurement of the Cross Section of W-boson pair production at LEP

abstract:
  The cross section of W-boson pair-production is measured with the L3 detector
at LEP. In a data sample corresponding to a total luminosity of 629.4/pb,
collected at centre-of-mass energies ranging from 189 to 209 GeV, 9834
four-fermion events with W bosons decaying into hadrons or leptons are
selected. The total cross section is measured with a precision of 1.4 % and
agrees with the Standard Model expectation. Assuming charged-lepton
universality, the branching fraction for hadronic W-boson decays is measured to
be: Br(W-->hadrons) = 67.50 +- 0.42 (stat.) +- 0.30(syst.) %, in agreement with
the Standard Model. Differential cross sections as a function of the W-
production angle are also measured for the semi-leptonic channels qqev and
qqmv.


title: Future Kaon Program at KEK/J-PARC

abstract:
  The current program of kaon-decay experiments at the KEK 12GeV Proton
Synchrotron (KEK-PS) and the prospects for the future kaon program at the new
50GeV PS of J-PARC, being constructed in Japan, are reviewed.


title:
Studies of the 4-jet rate and of moments of event shape observables
  using JADE data

abstract:
  Data from e+e- annihilation into hadrons collected by the JADE experiment at
centre-of-mass energies between 14 and 44 GeV were used to study the 4-jet rate
using the Durham algorithm as well as the first five moments of event shape
observables. The data were compared with NLO QCD predictions, augmented by
resummed NLLA calculations for the 4-jet rate, in order to extract values of
the strong coupling constant alpha_S. The preliminary results are alpha_S(MZ) =
0.1169 +/- 0.0026 (4-jet rate) and alpha_S(MZ) = 0.1286 +/- 0.0072 (moments)
consistent with the world average value. For some of the higher moments
systematic deficiencies of the QCD predictions are observed.


title: Searches for SUSY and Exotics at HERA

abstract:
  The HERA collaborations, H1 and ZEUS, have searched for physics beyond the
Standard Model in ep collisions at centre-of-mass energies of up to 319 GeV. In
this article the experimental results coming from the HERA I phase are
summarised and the constraints on theories of new physics including Contact
Interactions, Large Extra Dimensions, Leptoquarks, FCNC and various scenarios
in R-parity violating supersymmetry are discussed. In addition the first
results on searches for new physics coming from the upgraded HERA II collider
are presented.


title:
Measurement of Z-quark, Z-electron couplings and $\sin^2 \theta_{W}$ at
  CDF

abstract:
  The forward-backward charge asymmetry ($A_{FB}$) of $\ppbar \to e^{+}e^{-} X$
is sensitive to the vector and axial-vector couplings of the initial state
quarks and final state leptons. Based on the measurement in $72 pb^{-1}$ of CDF
Run II data, we measure the coupling constants of the $Z$ boson to quarks and
electron. The electroweak mixing angle, $\sin^2\theta_{W}$, is also measured
through its relation to the coupling constants.

abstract:
  We review recent result on heavy quark physics at TeV energies focusing on
Run II measurements from the CDF and DO experiments at the Tevatron.

currents are presented. New measurements of the CP asymmetries in $b \to s
\gamma$ decays are reported as well as $b \to s l^+l^-$ branching ratio
measurements.


title: CKM Phase Measurements

abstract:
  Recent experimental results on CP violation in the B sector from BABAR and
BELLE, experiments at asymmetric e+e- B-Factories, are summarized in these
proceedings. The constraint on the position of the apex of the unitary
triangle, obtained from these measurements allows a test of the CKM
interpretation of CP violation in thae Standard Model.


title: Tevatron Electroweak Results and Electroweak Summary

abstract:
  Electroweak measurements from early in Run II of the Tevatron Collider at
Fermilab are presented as well as future prospects for Run II. The effect of
Tevatron measurements on worldwide electroweak fits and the Higgs mass is also
discussed.

abstract:
  We review the current experimental situation of pentaquark searches, and
second generation experiments, with emphasis on the Jefferson Lab program.


title: Observation of $\bar{B^0}$ -> DsJ*(2317)+ K- decay

abstract:
  The decays $\bar{B^0} \to D_{sJ}^+ K^-$ and $\bar{B^0} \to D_{sJ}^- \pi^+$
are studied for the first time. A significant signal is observed in the
$\bar{B^0} \to D_{sJ}^*(2317)^+ K^-$ decay channel with ${\cal B}(\bar{B^0} \to
D_{sJ}^*(2317)^+ K^-) \times {\cal B} (D_{sJ}^*(2317)^+ \to D_s^+ \pi^0) =
(5.3^{+1.5}_{-1.3} \pm 0.7 \pm 1.4) \times 10^{-5}$. No signals are observed in
the $\bar{B^0} \to D_{sJ}^*(2317)^- \pi^+$, $\bar{B^0} \to D_{sJ}(2460)^+ K^-$
and $\bar{B^0} \to D_{sJ}(2460)^- \pi^+$ decay modes, and upper limits are
obtained. The analysis is based on a dataset of 140 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the
Belle experiment at the asymmetric $e^+ e^-$ collider KEKB.


title:
Measurement of the Muonic Branching Fractions of the Narrow Upsilon
  Resonances

abstract:
  The decay branching fractions of the three narrow Upsilon resonances to mu+
mu- have been measured by analyzing about 4.3 1/fb e+e- data collected with the
CLEO III detector. The branching fraction B(Y(1S) -> mu+ mu-) = (2.49 +- 0.02
+- 0.07)% is consistent with the current world average but B(Y(2S) -> mu+ mu-)
= (2.03 +- 0.03 +- 0.08)% and B(Y(3S) -> mu+ mu-) = (2.39 +- 0.07 +- 0.10)% are
significantly larger than prior results. These new muonic branching fractions
imply a narrower total decay width for the Y(2S) and Y(3S) resonances and lower
other branching fractions that rely on these decays in their determination.


title:
Comparisons and Combinations of Reactor and Long-Baseline Neutrino
  Oscillation Measurements

abstract:
  We investigate how the data from various future neutrino oscillation
experiments will constrain the physics parameters for a three active neutrino
mixing model. The investigations properly account for the degeneracies and
ambiguities associated with the phenomenology as well as estimates of
experimental measurement errors. Combinations of various reactor measurements
with the expected J-PARC (T2K) and NuMI offaxis (Nova) data, both with and
without the increased flux associated with proton driver upgrades, are
considered. The studies show how combinations of reactor and offaxis data can
resolve degeneracies (e.g. the theta23 degeneracy) and give more precise
information on the oscillation parameters. A primary purpose of this
investigation is to establish the parameter space regions where CP violation
can be discovered and where the mass hierarchy can be determined. It is found
that such measurements, even with the augmented flux from proton driver
upgrades, demand sin^2 (2 theta13) be fairly large and in the range where it is
measurable by reactor experiments.


title:
Measurement of the ttbar Production Cross Section in ppbar Collisions at
  sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV Using Kinematic Fitting of $b$-tagged Lepton+Jet Events

abstract:
  We report a measurement of the ttbar production cross section using the CDF
II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. The data consist of events with an
energetic electron or muon, missing transverse energy, and three or more
hadronic jets, at least one of which is identified as a b-quark jet by
reconstructing a secondary vertex. The background fraction is determined from a
fit of the transverse energy of the leading jet. Using 162+-10 /pb of data, the
total cross section is found to be 6.0+-1.6(stat.)+-1.2(syst.) pb, which is
consistent with the Standard Model prediction.


title:
Study of the Processes e+ e- --> eta gamma, e+ e- --> pi0 gamma --> 3
  gamma in the c.m. Energy Range 600--1380 MeV at CMD-2

abstract:
  The processes e+ e- --> eta gamma, e+ e- --> pi0 gamma --> 3 gamma have been
studied in the c.m. energy range 600--1380 MeV with the CMD-2 detector. The
following branching ratios have been determined:
  Br(rho --> eta gamma) = (3.21 +- 1.39 +- 0.20)x 10^{-4};
  Br(omega --> eta gamma) = (4.44 + 2.29 -1.83 +- 0.28)x 10^{-4};
  Br(phi --> eta gamma) = (1.373 +- 0.014 +- 0.085)x 10^{-2};
  Br(rho --> pi0 gamma) = (6.21 +1.28 - 1.18 +- 0.39)x 10^{-4};
  Br(omega --> pi0 gamma) = (9.06 +- 0.20 +- 0.57)x 10^{-2};
  Br(phi --> pi0 gamma) = (1.258 +- 0.037 +- 0.077)x 10^{-3};


title:
System Size and Centrality Dependence of the Balance Function in A + A
  Collisions at s(NN)^(1/2) = 17.2 GeV

abstract:
  Electric charge correlations were studied for p+p, C+C, Si+Si and centrality
selected Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 17.2$ GeV with the NA49 large
acceptance detector at the CERN-SPS. In particular, long range pseudo-rapidity
correlations of oppositely charged particles were measured using the Balance
Function method. The width of the Balance Function decreases with increasing
system size and centrality of the reactions. This decrease could be related to
an increasing delay of hadronization in central Pb+Pb collisions.


title:
Eta photoproduction off the neutron at GRAAL: Evidence for a resonant
  structure at W=1.67 GeV

  New (preliminary) data on eta photoproduction off the neutron are presented.
These data reveal a resonant structure at W=1.67 GeV.


title:
Search for a narrow charmed baryonic state decaying to D^*+/- p^-/+ in
  ep collisions at HERA

abstract:
  A resonance search has been made in the D^*+/- p^-/+ invariant-mass spectrum
with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 126 pb^-1. The
decay channels D^*+ -> D^0 pi^+_s -> (K^- pi^+) pi^+_s and D^*+ -> D^0 pi^+_s
-> (K^- pi^+ pi^+ pi^-) pi^+_s (and the corresponding antiparticle decays) were
used to identify D^*+/- mesons. No resonance structure was observed in the
D^*+/- p^-/+ mass spectrum from more than 60000 reconstructed D^*+/- mesons.
The results are not compatible with a report of the H1 Collaboration of a
charmed pentaquark, Theta^0_c.


title: Measurement of the chi_{c2} Polarization in psi(2S) to gamma chi_{c2}

abstract:
  The polarization of the chi_{c2} produced in psi(2S) decays into gamma
chi_{c2} is measured using a sample of 14*10^6 psi(2S) events collected by
BESII at the BEPC. A fit to the chi_{c2} production and decay angular
distributions in psi(2S) to gamma chi_{c2}, chi_{c2} to pi pi and KK yields
values x=A_1/A_0=2.08+/-0.44 and y=A_2/A_0=3.03 +/-0.66, with a correlation
rho=0.92 between them, where A_{0,1,2} are the chi_{c2} helicity amplitudes.
The measurement agrees with a pure E1 transition, and M2 and E3 contributions
do not differ significantly from zero.


title:
Measurement of the B0 -> K2*(1430)0 gamma and B+ -> K2*(1430)+ gamma
  branching fractions

abstract:
  We have investigated the exclusive, radiative B meson decays to K2*(1430) in
89* 10^6 BBbar events with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II storage ring. We
measure the branching fractions BR(B0 -> K2*(1430)0 gamma) = (1.22 +-0.25
+-0.10)*10^(-5) and BR(B+ -> K2*(1430)+ gamma) = (1.45 +-0.40 +-0.15) *
10^(-5), where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. In
addition, we measure the CP-violating asymmetry ACP(B0 -> K2*(1430)0 gamma) =
-0.08 +- 0.15 +- 0.01.


title: Search for Lepton-Flavor Violation in the Decay tau -> lhh

abstract:
  A search for the lepton-flavor-violating decay of the tau into one charged
lepton and two charged hadrons has been performed using $221.4
\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of data collected at an $e^+e^-$ center-of-mass energy around
10.58 GeV with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage ring. In all 14 decay
modes considered, the numbers of events found in data are compatible with the
background expectations. Upper limits on the branching fractions are set in the
range $(0.7-4.8)\times 10^{-7}$ at 90% confidence level. All results are
preliminary.

A Study of Strange Particles Produced in Neutrino Neutral Current
  Interactions in the NOMAD Experiment

abstract:
  Results of a detailed study of strange particle production in neutrino
neutral current interactions are presented using the data from the NOMAD
experiment. Integral yields of neutral strange particles (K0s, Lambda,
Lambda-bar) have been measured. Decays of resonances and heavy hyperons with an
identified K0s or Lambda in the final state have been analyzed. Clear signals
corresponding to K* and Sigma(1385) have been observed. First results on the
measurements of the Lambda polarization in neutral current interactions have
been obtained.

Self-Consistent Data Analysis of the Proton Structure Function g1 and
  Extraction of its Moments

abstract:
  The reanalysis of all available world data on the longitudinal asymmetry A||
is presented. The proton structure function g1 was extracted within a unique
framework of data inputs and assumptions. These data allowed for a reliable
evaluation of moments of the structure function g1 in the Q2 range from 0.2 up
to 30 GeV2. The Q2 evolution of the moments was studied in QCD by means of
Operator Product Expansion (OPE).


title:
Measurement of the Ratio of Inclusive Cross Sections
  ppbar->Z+b/ppbar->Z+j at DZero Run II

abstract:
  We study the b-jet production in association with Z boson at DZero using Run
II data collected between August 2002 and September 2003 corresponding to about
180 pb-1 of recorded luminosity. We also present a measurement of the ratio of
cross sections for Z+b to Z+j inclusive jet productions.
