Measurement of Dijet Azimuthal Decorrelations at Central Rapidities in
  pp-bar Collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV

abstract:
  Correlations in the azimuthal angle between the two largest transverse
momentum jets have been measured using the D0 detector in pp-bar collisions at
a center-of-mass energy sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV. The analysis is based on an inclusive
dijet event sample in the central rapidity region corresponding to an
integrated luminosity of 150 pb-1. Azimuthal correlations are stronger at
larger transverse momenta. These are well-described in perturbative QCD at
next-to-leading order in the strong coupling constant, except at large
azimuthal differences where soft effects are significant.


title: CP Violation in B Decays and the CKM Matrix

abstract:
  Results by the BaBar and Belle experiments of the measurements $\sin
2\alpha$, $\sin 2\beta$ and $\sin (2\beta + \gamma)$ along with the CKM matrix
elements $V_{cb}$ and $V_{ub}$ are presented. The BaBar and Belle experiments
$b \to sc\bar{c}$ results for $\sin 2\beta$ are in good agreement with each
other, comfortably establishing CP violation within B decays. However, there is
a 3.5 standard deviation between this result and $\sin 2\beta$ measured by the
Belle experiment using $B^0 \to \phi K^0_S$ decays. Belle also find evidence
for CP violation through time dependent measurements of the decay $B^0 \to
\pi^+ \pi^-$, whilst a tighter constraint has been placed on the unitarity
angle $\alpha$ by BaBar, using time dependent studies of the decay $B^0 \to
\rho^+\rho^-$ .


title: HERA-B Framework for Online Calibration and Alignment

abstract:
  This paper describes the architecture and implementation of the HERA-B
framework for online calibration and alignment. At HERA-B the performance of
all trigger levels, including the online reconstruction, strongly depends on
using the appropriate calibration and alignment constants, which might change
during data taking. A system to monitor, recompute and distribute those
constants to online processes has been integrated in the data acquisition and
trigger systems.


title:
Measurement of the B^0_s lifetime in the exclusive decay channel B^0_s
  -> J/psi phi

abstract:
  Using the exclusive decay B^0_s -> J/psi (mu+mu-) phi(K+K-), we report the
most precise single measurement of the B^0_s lifetime. The data sample
corresponds to an integrated luminosity of approximately 220 pb-1 collected
with the DO detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider in 2002-2004. We
reconstruct 337 signal candidates, from which we extract the B^0_s lifetime,
\tau(B^0_s) = 1.444 +0.098/-0.090 stat +/- 0.020 sys ps. We also report a
measurement for the lifetime of the B^0 meson using the exclusive decay B^0 ->
J/psi (mu+mu-)K*0(892)(K+pi-). We reconstruct 1370 signal candidates, obtaining
\tau(B^0) = 1.473 +0.052/-0.050 stat +/- 0.023 sys ps, and the ratio of
lifetimes, \tau(B^0_s)/\tau(B^0) = 0.980 +0.076/-0.071 stat +/- 0.003 sys.


title: Measurement of Dijet Production at Low Q2 at HERA (DIS 2004)

abstract:
  A recent H1 measurement of triple differential dijet cross sections in
electron-proton interactions in the region of photon virtualities 2<Q2<80 GeV
is presented and compared to LO and NLO QCD predictions. Effects that go beyond
the fixed-order NLO QCD calculations are identified.


title: ATHENA -- First Production of Cold Antihydrogen and Beyond

abstract:
  Atomic systems of antiparticles are the laboratories of choice for tests of
CPT symmetry with antimatter. The ATHENA experiment was the first to report the
production of copious amounts of cold antihydrogen in 2002. This article
reviews some of the insights that have since been gained concerning the
antihydrogen production process as well as the external and internal properties
of the produced anti-atoms. Furthermore, the implications of those results on
future prospects of symmetry tests with antimatter are discussed.


title: Reweighting of the form factors in exclusive B --> X ell nu decays

abstract:
  A form factor reweighting technique has been elaborated to permit relatively
easy comparisons between different form factor models applied to exclusive B
--> X l nu decays. The software tool developped for this purpose is described.
It can be used with any event generator, three of which were used in this work:
ISGW2, PHSP and FLATQ2, a new powerful generator. The software tool allows an
easy and reliable implementation of any form factor model. The tool has been
fully validated with the ISGW2 form factor hypothesis. The results of our
present studies indicate that the combined use of the FLATQ2 generator and the
form factor reweighting tool should play a very important role in future
exclusive |Vub| measurements, with largely reduced errors.


title:
Measurement of $B \to \D^*$ Form Factors in the Semileptonic Decay
  $B^{0}\to D^{*-}\ell^+ \nu$

abstract:
  We present a preliminary measurement of \rone, \rtwo and \rhosq which are the
three parameters used to characterize the $B\rar D^*\ell\bar\nu_e$ form factors
($A_1$, $V$, and $A_2$). We use $85 \times 10^6$ $B\bar B$-pairs accumulated on
the \upsfs resonance at PEP-II. In this analysis we use the decay mode $\bar
B^0\rar D^{+*}e^-\bar\nu$ and its charge conjugate. The $D^{*+}$ is
reconstructed in the channel $D^{*+}\to D^0\pi^+$ and the $D^0$ in the channel
$\dtokpi$. We parameterize the \ff s in terms of their ratios (determined by
the parameters $R_1$ and $R_2$) and the common slope $\rhosq$ in the variable
$w$ (a quantity related to the momentum transfer in the decay process). These
parameters are determined via an unbinned maximum likelihood fit to the
distributions in four kinematic variables (three decay angles and $w$). The
results are $R_1= 1.328 \pm 0.055\pm 0.025\pm 0.025$ and $R_2=0.920 \pm
0.044\pm 0.020\pm 0.013 $ for the ratios and $\rhosq= 0.769\pm 0.039 \pm
0.019\pm 0.032 $ for the slope. The stated errors are the statistical
uncertainty from the data, statistical uncertainty from the size of the Monte
Carlo sample and the systematic uncertainty, respectively.


title: New results on the pd --> 3He eta production near threshold

abstract:
  Measurements on the eta meson production in proton-deuteron collisions have
been performed using the COSY-11 facility at COSY Juelich. Here we present
preliminary results on total and differential cross sections for the pd --> 3He
eta reaction at five excess energies between Q = 5.1 and Q = 40.6 MeV. The
obtained angular distributions for the emitted eta mesons in the center of mass
system expose a transition from an almost isotropic emission to a highly
anisotropic distribution. The extracted total cross sections support a strong
eta-3He final state interaction and will be compared with model predictions.


title:
New Measurements of Time-Dependent CP-Violating Asymmetries in b --> s
  Transitions at Belle

abstract:
  We present new measurements of CP-violation parameters in B0 --> phi K0, K+
K- Ks, f0(980) Ks, eta' Ks, omega Ks, Ks pi0, and K*0 gamma (K*0 --> Ks pi0)
decays based on a sample of 275 x 10^6 BBbar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S)
resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB energy-asymmetric e+e- collider.
One neutral B meson is fully reconstructed in one of the specified decay
channels, and the flavor of the accompanying B meson is identified from its
decay products. CP-violation parameters for each of the decay modes are
obtained from the asymmetries in the distributions of the proper-time intervals
between the two B decays. All results are preliminary.


title: Kaon Physics

abstract:
  The most recent progress and future prospects in kaon physics are reviewed.
Main results are the first observation of the rare decays KS->pi0ee and
KS->pi0mumu by NA48, new K+->pinunu event observed by E949 and new precision
measurements of K0->pienu decays by KTeV, KLOE and NA48 made in an effort to
resolve the slight deviation from the unitarity in the CKM matrix, involving
the |Vus| coupling.


title:
Measurements of Absolute Branching Fractions for 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 $D^0$ semileptonic decays into
$K^-e^+\nu$, $\pi^-e^+\nu$ and $K^{*-}e^+\nu$, and the first observation and
measurement of $D^0 \to \rho^-e^+\nu$. The determinations of the CKM matrix
elements $V_{cs}$ and $V_{cd}$ are reviewed.


title: The X(3872) at CDF II

abstract:
  Last year's X(3872) discovery was confirmed with the CDF II detector in pbarp
collisions. We measure its mass to be $3871.3 \pm 0.7 \pm 0.4 MeV/c2$. The
source of X-mesons in the large CDF sample is resolved by studying their vertex
displacement. We find $16.1 \pm 4.9 \pm 2.0$% of our X-sample comes from decays
of b-hadrons, and the remainder from prompt sources: either direct production
or by decay of (unknown) short-lived particles. The mix of production sources
is similar to that observed for the psi(2S) charmonium state.


title: Detection of $\pi^+\pi^-$atoms with the DIRAC spectrometer at CERN

abstract:
  The goal of the DIRAC experiment at CERN is to measure with high precision
the lifetime of the $\pi^+\pi^-$ atom ($A_{2\pi}$), which is of order
$3\times10^{-15}$ s, and thus to determine the s-wave $\pi\pi$-scattering
lengths difference $|a_{0}-a_{2}|$. $A_{2\pi}$ atoms are detected through the
characteristic features of $\pi^+\pi^-$ pairs from the atom break-up
(ionization) in the target. We report on a first high statistics atomic data
sample obtained from p Ni interactions at 24 GeV/$c$ proton momentum and
present the methods to separate the signal from the background.


title: W Physics at LEP

abstract:
  In five years of operation (1996-2000) the four LEP2 experiments collected
roughly 3 fb-1 of data from e+e- collisions at centre-of-mass energies between
161 and 207 GeV, yielding a total of about 40000 W-pair events. The analysis of
the LEP2 W-pair production rates and kinematics has allowed fundamental new
measurements of the electroweak model to be performed, most notably: (i) the
first determination of gauge boson self couplings, (ii) direct measurements of
W decay couplings to all fermions, and (iii) a direct measurement of the W mass
with a 40 MeV precision, comparable to hadron collider and indirect
determinations.


title: Study of B Decays into the Final State D(*)\pi\pi\pi at BaBar

abstract:
  Based on a data sample of an integrated luminosity of 57.4 fb-1 at the
Upsilon(4S) resonance taken with the BaBar detector using the SLAC PEP-II
asymmetric-energy $B$-Factory, hadronic decays of B meson with the final states
D(*) and three pions are studied. The study is performed by fully
reconstructing the exclusive decays of B->D(*)a_{1}(1260) and the non-resonant
modes B->D(*)rho^{0} pi and B->D(*)pipipi. The current status of the study is
presented and a dominant B->D(*)a_{1}(1260) decay is shown.


title: Direct CP Violation - Recent Results from Babar

abstract:
  Measurements of the CKM parameter $\sin(2 \beta)$ have established $CP$
violation in the $B^0$ meson system arising from the interference between
mixing and decay. However, direct CP violation, arising from the interference
among different terms in the decay amplitude, had not been observed so far. We
report a first observation of direct CP violation in $B^{0} \to K^{+} \pi^{-}$
decays with the BaBar detector. Other selected results based on the search for
direct CP violation in several other B decays are also presented.


title: The Experimental Search for Pentaquark

abstract:
  The existence of an anti-decuplet of pentaquark particles has been predicted
some year ago within the chiral soliton model. In the last year, several
experimental groups have reported evidence for a S=+1 baryon resonance, with
mass ranging from 1.52 and 1.55 GeV and width less than 25 MeV, by looking at
the invariant mass of the $K N$ system. This resonance, has been identified
with the lowest mass of the anti-decuplet, the $\Theta^+$. At the same time,
there are a number of experiment, mostly at high energies, that report null
results. An overview of the experimental results so far obtained will be given
here together with a review of the second generation experiments currently
ongoing and planned at Jefferson Lab Hall B.


title: Determination of the e+e- -> gamma gamma (gamma) cross-section at LEP 2

abstract:
  A test of the benchmark QED process e+e- -> gamma gamma (gamma) is reported,
using the data collected with the DELPHI detector at LEP 2. The data analysed
were recorded at centre-of-mass energies ranging from 161 GeV to 208 GeV and
correspond to a total integrated luminosity of 656.4 pb^{-1}. The Born
cross-section for the process e+e- -> gamma gamma (gamma) was determined,
confirming the validity of QED at the highest energies ever attained in
electron-positron collisions. Lower limits on the parameters of a number of
possible deviations from QED, predicted within theoretical frameworks
expressing physics beyond the Standard Model, were derived.


title: Polarization puzzle in B->phi K* and other B->VV at BABAR

abstract:
  With a sample of about 227 million BB pairs recorded with the BABAR detector
we perform a full angular analysis of the decay B0->phi K*0(892). Ten
measurements include polarization, phases, and five CP asymmetries. We also
observe the decay B0->phi K*0(1430). Polarization measurements are performed
with the B->rho K*(892), B->rho rho, B->rho omega decay modes, and limits are
set on the B->omega K*(892) decay rates. These measurements help to understand
the puzzle of large fraction of transverse polarization observed in B->phi K*
decays and allow for new ways to study CP violation and potential new amplitude
contributions.


title: Double-Chooz: a search for Theta13

abstract:
  The Double-Chooz experiment goal is to search for a non-vanishing value of
the Theta13 neutrino mixing angle. This is the last step to accomplish prior
moving towards a new era of precision measurements in the lepton sector. The
current best constraint on the third mixing angle comes from the CHOOZ reactor
neutrino experiment $\sin(2\theta_{13})^{2}<0.2$ (90% C.L., $\Delta
m_{atm}^{2}=2.0$ eV$^{2}$). Double-Chooz will explore the range of
$\sin(2\theta_{13})^{2}$ from 0.2 to 0.03-0.02, within three years of data
taking. The improvement of the CHOOZ result requires an increase in the
statistics, a reduction of the systematic error below one percent, and a
careful control of the backgrounds. Therefore, Double-Chooz will use two
identical detectors, one at 150 m and another at 1.05 km distance from the
Chooz nuclear cores. In addition, we will to use the near detector as a ``state
of the art'' prototype to investigate the potential of neutrinos for monitoring
the civil nuclear power plants. The plan is to start operation with two
detectors in 2008, and to reach a sensitivity sin$^{2}$$(2\theta_{13})$ of 0.05
in 2009, and 0.03-0.02 in 2011.


title: Experimental results on $K_L$ decays

abstract:
  Recent measurements by the NA48 at CERN of selected $K_L$ decays are
presented. These are the branching ratios and form factors for channels $K_L\to
\pi^{\pm}\pi^0\e^{\mp}\nu_e$ (final result), $K_L\to\pi^{\pm}e^{\mp}\nu_e$ and
$K_L\to e^+e^-e^+e^-$ (preliminary results).


title: BES Results on Charmonium Decays and Transitions

abstract:
  Results are reported based on samples of 58 million $J/\psi$ and 14 million
$\psi(2S)$ decays obtained by the BESII experiment. Improved branching fraction
measurements are determined, including branching fractions for
$J/\psi\to\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$, $\psi(2S)\to \pi^0 J/\psi$, $\eta J/\psi$, $\pi^0
\pi^0 J/\psi$, anything $J/\psi$, and
$\psi(2S)\to\gamma\chi_{c1},\gamma\chi_{c2}\to\gamma\gamma\jpsi$. Using 14
million $\psi(2S)$ events, $f_0(980)f_0(980)$ production in $\chi_{c0}$ decays
and $K^*(892)^0\bar K^*(892)^0$ production in $\chi_{cJ}~(J=0,1,2)$ decays are
observed for the first time, and branching ratios are determined.


title: Measurement of the Michel Parameter $\rho$ in Muon Decay

abstract:
  The TWIST Collaboration has measured the Michel parameter $\rho$ in normal
muon decay, $\mu^+ \to e^+ \nu_e \bar{\nu}_{\mu}$. In the Standard Model,
$\rho$ = 3/4. Deviations from this value require mixing of left- and
right-handed muon and electron couplings in the muon-decay Lagrangian. We find
$\rho$ = 0.75080 $\pm$ 0.00044(stat.) $\pm$ 0.00093(syst.) $\pm$ 0.00023, where
the last uncertainty represents the dependence of $\rho$ on the Michel
parameter $\eta$. This result sets new limits on the $W_L-W_R$ mixing angle in
left-right symmetric models.


title: Rare Kaon Decay From E949 At BNL: K^+ -->pi^+ nunubar

abstract:
  In the first year of physics run, the E949 experiment at Brookhaven National
Laboratory has already collected $1.8\times 10^{12}$ kaons stopping in the
target. Additional evidence for the rare charged kaon decay
$K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar{\nu}$ has been observed. Combined with previous results
from the E787 experiment, the branching ratio is measured to be
Br($K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar{\nu}$)=$(1.47^{+1.30}_{-0.89})\times10^{-10}$.


title:
Measurement of masses and branching ratios of $\Xi_c^+$ and $\Xi_c^0$
  baryons

abstract:
  We report a measurement of the $\Xi_c^+$ and $\Xi_c^0$ baryon masses, and the
branching ratios for various $\Xi_c$ decays, using $140 \mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of
data collected by the Belle experiment at the KEKB $e^+ e^-$ collider.The mass
splitting $m_{\Xi_c^0} - m_{\Xi_c^+}$ is found to be $2.9\pm 0.5
\mathrm{MeV}/c^2$; this measurement is three times as precise as the current
world average. We measure the branching ratios $\Gamma (\Xi_c^+\to \Lambda
K\pi\pi)/\Gamma (\Xi_c^+\to\Xi\pi\pi) = 0.32\pm 0.03 \pm 0.02$ and $\Gamma
(\Xi_c^0\to p KK\pi)/\Gamma (\Xi_c^0\to\Xi\pi) = 0.33\pm 0.03 \pm 0.03$, with
improved precision, and measure $\Gamma (\Xi_c^+\to p K^0_S K^0_S)/\Gamma
(\Xi_c^+\to\Xi\pi\pi) = 0.087\pm 0.016 \pm 0.014$, $\Gamma (\Xi_c^0\to \Lambda
K\pi)/\Gamma (\Xi_c^0\to\Xi\pi) = 1.07\pm 0.12 \pm 0.07$ and $\Gamma
(\Xi_c^0\to \Lambda K^0_S)/\Gamma (\Xi_c^0\to\Xi\pi) = 0.21\pm 0.02 \pm 0.02$
for the first time. In $\Xi_c^0$ decays to the $p K^- K^- \pi^+$ final state,
we find evidence for the process $\Xi_c^0 \to p K^- \bar{K}{}^\ast(892)^0$ and
measure the fraction of decays via this process to be $0.51\pm 0.03 \pm 0.01$.


title:
Precision planar drift chambers and cradle for the TWIST muon decay
  spectrometer

abstract:
  To measure the muon decay parameters with high accuracy, we require an array
of precision drift detector layers whose relative position is known with very
high accuracy. This article describes the design, construction and performance
of these detectors in the TWIST (TRIUMF Weak Interaction Symmetry Test)
spectrometer.


title: Run II Searches for Supersymmetry

abstract:
  In these proceedings, we present all of the Run II results in the search for
Supersymmetry from the Tevatron. At the time of presentation ~200 pb-1 of Run
II data had been analyzed for the presence of new physics. We summarize
searches for CHAMPS, Squarks and Gluinos in the jets+Missing Transverse Energy
(MET) final state, multiple dilepton final state analyses including B_s=>mumu,
RPV Sneutrinos and Chargino/Neutralino production, and conclude with GMSB
searches in the two photon + Met final state. While there is no evidence of new
physics, we do note some interesting events and modest excesses for future
reference as more data comes in. In many cases, the limits presented are the
worlds first or most stringent.


title: Selected Topics in CP Violation and Weak Decays from BABAR

abstract:
  We present branching fraction and CP asymmetry results for a variety of
charmless B decays based on up to 124 fb^-1 collected by the BABAR experiment
running near the Upsilon(4S) resonance at the PEP-II e+e- B-factory.


title: CALICE Electromagnetic Calorimeter Readout Status

abstract:
  The status of the prototype readout boards for the CALICE electromagnetic
calorimeter is presented. Results on linearity, noise, and minimum ionising
signals, both from a radiactive source and cosmic rays, are shown.


title: Diffractive Scattering

abstract:
  Recent experimental results on inclusive diffractive scattering and on
exclusive vector meson production are reviewed. The dynamical picture of hard
diffraction emerging in perturbative QCD is highlighted.


title:
Single-Spin Transverse Asymmetry in Neutral Pion and Charged Hadron
  Production at PHENIX

abstract:
  The PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at
Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) has measured the single-spin transverse
asymmetry ($A_{N}$) for neutral pion and non-identified charged hadron
production at $x_{F}\sim 0$ over a transverse momentum range of $\sim$ 0.5 to
5.0 GeV/c from polarized proton-proton interactions at a center of mass energy
($\sqrt{s}$) of 200 GeV. The asymmetries observed are consistent with zero.


title: Search For Extra Dimensions At LEP

abstract:
  Searches for extra dimensions have been made at the four LEP experiments,
ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL, where different processes have been searched for
within both the ADD and Randall-Sundrum scenarios. Since no signs of any signal
have been observed the results have been used to set exclusion limits in the
corresponding extra dimension models. This talk presents both individual
results from the LEP experiments as well as combined results from the searches
for graviton emission and virtual graviton exchange. The results are mainly
based on the data recorded between the years 1998-2000, which corresponds to an
integrated luminosity of 0.6 fb$^{-1}$ per experiment and center-of-mass
energies from 189 up to 209 GeV.


title:
Neutrino Scattering Uncertainties and their Role in Long Baseline
  Oscillation Experiments

abstract:
  The field of oscillation physics is about to make an enormous leap forward in
statistical precision: first through the MINOS experiment in the coming year,
and later through the NOvA and T2K experiments. Because of the relatively poor
understanding of neutrino interactions in the energy ranges of these
experiments, there are systematics that can arise in interpreting far detector
data that can be as large as or even larger than the expected statistical
uncertainties. We describe how these systematic errors arise, and how specific
measurements in a dedicated neutrino scattering experiment like MINERvA can
reduce the cross section systematic errors to well below the statistical
errors.


title:
Measurement of the Differential $q^2$ Spectrum and Forward-Backward
  Asymmetry for $B \to K^{(*)} \ell^+ \ell^-$

abstract:
  We report measurements of the differential $q^2$ spectrum and the
forward-backward asymmetry for $B \to K^{(*)} \ell^+\ell^-$, where $\ell$
represents an electron or a muon, with a data sample of 253 fb$^{-1}$
accumulated on the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB. We
also present measurements of the branching fractions and their ratios.


title: Searches for the Supersymmetric Partner of the Bottom Quark

abstract:
  We have performed a search for the scalar bottom quark from gluino decays in
an R-parity conserving SUSY scenario with m(gluino) > m(sbottom), by
investigating a final state of large missing transverse energy, with three or
more jets, and some of them from the hadronization of b-quarks. A data sample
of 156pb-1 collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab at a center-of-mass
energy of 1.96TeV was used. For the final selection, jets containing secondary
displaced vertices were required. This analysis has been performed 'blind', in
that the inspection of the signal region was only made after the standard model
prediction was fina lized. Comparing data with SUSY predictions, we can exclude
masses of the gluino and sbottom of up to 280 and 240GeV/c^2 respectively.


title:
Measurement of $W\gamma$ and $Z\gamma$ Production in $p\bar{p}$
  Collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 1.96 TeV

abstract:
  The Standard Model predictions for $W\gamma$ and $Z\gamma$ production are
tested using an integrated luminosity of 200 pb$^{-1}$ of \ppbar collision data
collected at the Collider Detector at Fermilab. The cross sections are measured
selecting leptonic decays of the $W$ and $Z$ bosons, and photons with
transverse energy $E_T>7$ GeV that are well separated from leptons. The
production cross sections and kinematic distributions for the $W\gamma$ and
$Z\gamma$ are compared to SM predictions.


title: Charm Decays at BABAR

abstract:
  The results of several studies of charmed mesons and baryons at BABAR are
presented. First, searches for the rare decays D0 --> l+ l- are presented and
new upper limits on these processes are established. Second, a measurement of
the branching fraction of the isospin-violating hadronic decay Ds*(2112)+ -->
Ds+ pi0 relative to the radiative decay Ds*(2112)+ --> Ds+ gamma is made.
Third, the decays of DsJ*(2317)+ and DsJ(2460)+ mesons are studied and ratios
of branching fractions are measured. Fourth, Cabibbo-suppressed decays of the
Lambdac+ are examined and their branching fractions measured relative to
Cabibbo-allowed modes. Fifth, the Xic0 is studied through its decays to Xi- pi+
and Omega- K+; in addition to measuring the ratio of branching fractions for
Xic0 produced from the cc continuum, the uncorrected momentum spectrum is
measured, providing clear confirmation of Xic0 production in B decays.


title: A Precise Measurement of the Tau Lifetime

abstract:
  The tau lepton lifetime has been measured with the e+e- -> tau+tau- events
collected by the DELPHI detector at LEP in the years 1991-1995. Three different
methods have been exploited, using both one-prong and three-prong tau decay
channels. Two measurements have been made using events in which both taus decay
to a single charged particle. Combining these measurements gave tau_tau (1
prong) = 291.8 +/- 2.3 (stat) +/- 1.5 (sys) fs. A third measurement using taus
which decayed to three charged particles yielded tau_tau (3 prong) = 288.6 +/-
2.4 (stat) +/- 1.3 (sys) fs. These were combined with previous DELPHI results
to measure the tau lifetime, using the full LEP1 data sample, to be tau_tau =
290.9 +/- 1.4 (stat) +/- 1.0 (sys) fs.


title: Measurement of triple gauge boson couplings a an e-gamma collider

abstract:
  If no light Higgs boson exists, the interaction among the gauge bosons
becomes strong at high energies (~1TeV). The effects of strong electroweak
symmetry breaking (SEWSB) could manifest themselves indirectly as anomalous
couplings before they give rise to new physical states like resonances. Here a
study of the measurement of trilinear gauge couplings is presented looking at
the hadronic decay channel of the W boson at an e-gamma - collider. A
sensitivity in the range of 10^{-3} to 10^{-4} can be reached depending on the
coupling under consideration.


title: Inclusive Jet Production in Two-Photon Collisions at LEP

abstract:
  Inclusive jet production, e+e- -> e+e- \ee$ jet X, is studied using 560/pb of
data collected at LEP with the L3 detector at centre-of-mass energies between
189 and 209 GeV. The inclusive differential cross section is measured using a
k_t jet algorithm as a function of the jet transverse momentum, pt, in the
range 3<pt<50 GeV for a pseudorapidity, eta, in the range -1<eta<1. This cross
section is well represented by a power law. For high pt, the measured cross
section is significantly higher than the NLO QCD predictions, as already
observed for inclusive charged and neutral pion production.


title:
Search for Excited and Exotic Electrons in the e-gamma Decay Channel in
  p-pbar Collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV

abstract:
  We present a search for excited and exotic electrons (e*) decaying to an
electron and a photon, both with high transverse momentum. We use 202/pb of
data collected in p-pbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV with the CDF II
detector. No signal above Standard Model expectation is seen for associated ee*
production. We discuss the e* sensitivity in the parameter space of the excited
electron mass M(e*) and the compositeness energy scale Lambda. In the contact
interaction model, we exclude 132 < M(e*) < 879 GeV/c^2 for Lambda = M(e*) at
95% confidence level (C.L.). In the gauge-mediated model, we exclude 126 <
M(e*) < 430 GeV/c^2 at 95% C.L. for the phenomenological coupling f/Lambda ~
0.01/GeV.


title: Charm Dalitz Plot Analysis Formalism and Results

abstract:
  Charm meson decay dynamics have been studied extensively over the last
decade. We describe the Dalitz-plot analysis technique which has been applied
by many experiments to three-body D0, D+ and Ds decays. We discuss experimental
results from Mark II, Mark III, E687, E691, ARGUS, E791, FOCUS, CLEO and BABAR.
These studies probe a variety of physics including doubly-Cabibbo suppressed
decays, searches for CP violation, the properties of established light mesons
and the properties of pipi and Kpi S-wave states.


title: Review of Charm Semileptonic Decays and QCD

abstract:
  In this paper, we review recent progress in the field of semileptonic decays
of charm mesons, including topics on the relative branching ratio and the form
factors. The comparison between the experimental form factor measurements and
the Lattice QCD calculations is emphasized.


title: The Baryonic Resonances in the System of nK+

abstract:
  A number of peculiarities was found in the system of nK+ . Their spins were
carried out. The rotational band was constructed. The parity was discussed.


title: Searches for Neutral Higgs Bosons in Extended Models

abstract:
  Searches for neutral Higgs bosons produced at LEP in association with Z
bosons, in pairs and in the Yukawa process are presented in this paper. Higgs
boson decays into b quarks, tau leptons, or other Higgs bosons are considered,
giving rise to four-b, four-b+jets, six-b and four-tau final states, as well as
mixed modes with b quarks and tau leptons. The whole mass domain kinematically
accessible at LEP in these topologies is searched. The analysed data set covers
both the LEP1 and LEP2 energy ranges and exploits most of the luminosity
recorded by the DELPHI experiment. No convincing evidence for a signal is
found, and results are presented in the form of mass-dependent upper bounds on
coupling factors (in units of model-independent reference cross-sections) for
all processes, allowing interpretation of the data in a large class of models.


title:
Comparison of Three-jet Events in Proton-Antiproton Collisions at
  Center-of-mass Energy 1.8 TeV to Predictions from a Next-to-leading Order QCD
  Calculation

abstract:
  The properties of three-jet events with total transverse energy greater than
320 GeV and individual jet energy greater than 20 GeV have been analyzed and
compared to absolute predictions from a next-to-leading order (NLO)
perturbative QCD calculation. These data, of integrated luminosity 86 pb^-1,
were recorded by the CDF Experiment for proton-antiproton collisions at
sqrt{s}=1.8 TeV. This study tests a model of higher order QCD processes that
result in gluon emission and can be used to estimate the magnitude of the
contribution of processes higher than NLO. The total cross section is measured
to be 466 +/- 3(stat.)^{+207}_{-70}(syst.) pb. The differential cross section
is furthermore measured for all kinematically accessible regions of the Dalitz
plane, including those for which the theoretical prediction is unreliable.
While the measured cross section is consistent with the theoretical prediction
in magnitude, the two differ somewhat in shape in the Dalitz plane.


title: Search for Long-Lived Parents of the Z Boson

abstract:
  We present the results of a search for new particles with long lifetime that
decay to a Z boson. A long-lived parent of the Z is predicted by several models
in addition to being an experimentally clean channel. We vertex dimuons with
invariant mass near the Z peak and study the decay length distribution. No
evidence of a long-lived component is found, and cross-section limits are
presented on a fourth generation quark model.


title: Jets and the hadronic final state at HERA

abstract:
  Recent results on jets and the hadronic final state from the HERA
collaborations H1 and ZEUS are reviewed.


title: Study of 2b-decay of Mo-100 and Se-82 using the NEMO3 detector

abstract:
  After analysis of 5797 h of data from the detector NEMO3, new limits on
neutrinoless double beta decay of Mo-100 (T_{1/2} > 3.1 10^{23} y, 90% CL) and
Se-82 (T_{1/2} > 1.4 10^{23} y, 90% CL) have been obtained. The corresponding
limits on the effective majorana neutrino mass are: m < (0.8-1.2) eV and m <
(1.5-3.1) eV, respectively. Also the limits on double-beta decay with Majoron
emission are: T_{1/2} > 1.4 10^{22} y (90% CL) for Mo-100 and T_{1/2}> 1.2
10^{22} y (90%CL) for Se-82. Corresponding bounds on the Majoron-neutrino
coupling constant are g < (0.5-0.9) 10^{-4} and < (0.7-1.6) 10^{-4}.
Two-neutrino 2b-decay half-lives have been measured with a high accuracy,
T_{1/2} Mo-100 = [7.68 +- 0.02(stat) +- 0.54(syst) ] 10^{18} y and T_{1/2}
Se-82 = [10.3 +- 0.3(stat) +- 0.7(syst) ] 10^{19} y.

title: Jet production at HERA

abstract:
  Recent results from jet production in deep inelastic ep scattering to
investigate parton dynamics at low x are reviewed. The results on jet
production in deep inelastic scattering and photoproduction used to test
perturbative QCD are discussed and the values of alphas(Mz) extracted from a
QCD analysis of the data are presented


title: Pentaquark Searches at CDF

abstract:
  Recently there has been revival of interest in exotic baryon spectroscopy
triggered by experimental evidence for pentaquarks containing u,d,s and
c-quarks. We report results of the searches for pentaquark states in decays to
p K0S, Xi- pi+,- and D*- p performed at CDF detector using 220 pb-1 sample of
pp= interactions at sqrt(s) of 1.96 TeV. No evidence for narrow resonances were
found in either mode.


title: Constraints upon the CKM angle phi_2 (alpha) from Belle and BaBar

abstract:
  The Belle and BaBar experiments have measured branching fractions and CP
asymmetries in the charmless decay modes B0->pi+pi-, B0->rho+pi-/rho-pi+, and
B0->rho+rho-. From these measurements, constraints upon the CKM angle phi_2 can
be obtained. These constraints consistently indicate that phi_2 is around 100
degrees.


title:
Calibration of centre-of-mass energies at LEP 2 for a precise
  measurement of the W boson mass

abstract:
  The determination of the centre-of-mass energies for all LEP 2 running is
presented. Accurate knowledge of these energies is of primary importance to set
the absolute energy scale for the measurement of the W boson mass. The beam
energy between 80 and 104 GeV is derived from continuous measurements of the
magnetic bending field by 16 NMR probes situated in a number of the LEP
dipoles. The relationship between the fields measured by the probes and the
beam energy is defined in the NMR model, which is calibrated against precise
measurements of the average beam energy between 41 and 61 GeV made using the
resonant depolarisation technique. The validity of the NMR model is verified by
three independent methods: the flux-loop, which is sensitive to the bending
field of all the dipoles of LEP; the spectrometer, which determines the energy
through measurements of the deflection of the beam in a magnet of known
integrated field; and an analysis of the variation of the synchrotron tune with
the total RF voltage. To obtain the centre-of-mass energies, corrections are
then applied to account for sources of bending field external to the dipoles,
and variations in the local beam energy at each interaction point. The relative
error on the centre-of-mass energy determination for the majority of LEP 2
running is 1.2 x 10^{-4}, which is sufficiently precise so as not to introduce
a dominant uncertainty on the W mass measurement.


title: High Statistics Search for the Theta+(1.54) Pentaquark State

abstract:
  We have searched for Theta+(1.54) -> K0,p decays using data from the 1999 run
of the HyperCP experiment at Fermilab. We see no evidence for a narrow peak in
the K0,p mass distribution near 1.54 GeV/c among 106,000 K0,p candidates, and
obtain an upper limit for the fraction of Theta+(1.54) to K0,p candidates of
<0.3% at 90% confidence.


title:
First observations of $\psi(2S)$ and $\chi_{cJ}(1P)$ decays to four-body
  final states $h^+h^- K^0_S K^0_S$

abstract:
  $\chi_{c0}$, $\chi_{c1}$, and $\chi_{c2}$ decays to $\pi^+\pi^-K^0_SK^0_S$
and $K^+K^-K^0_SK^0_S$, as well as $\psi(2S)$ decay to $\pi^+\pi^-K^0_SK^0_S$
are presented. The branching fractions of these decay channels are determined
using $14\times 10^6$ $\psi(2S)$ events collected at BESII/BEPC. The branching
fractions of $\chi_{c0},\chi_{c2}\to K^0_SK^0_S$ are measured with improved
statistical precision.


title:
Study of narrow baryonic pentaquark candidates with the ZEUS detector at
  HERA

abstract:
  The three pentaquark candidates Theta^+(1530), Xi(1862) and Theta^0_c(3100)
have been studied in ep collisions at a centre-of-mass energy sqrt{s}=300-318
GeV using the full luminosity of the HERA-I data. Searches for narrow baryonic
states in the decay channels K^0_s p, K^+ p, Xi^- pi^{+-}, anti-XI^+ pi^{+-}
and D^{*+-}p^{-+} are reported. The results support the existence of a narrow
resonance decaying into K^0_s p and K^0_s anti-p, consistent with the
Theta(1530) state. No signals are seen in the K^+ p, Xi^- pi^{+-}, anti-Xi^+
pi^{+-} and D^{*+-}p{-+} channels.


title:
Direct Measurement of the Branching Fraction for the Decay of $D^+ \to
  \bar K^0 e^+\nu_e$ and Determination of $\Gamma (D^0 \to K^-e^+\nu_e)/ \Gamma
  (D^+ \to \bar K^0 e^+\nu_e)$

abstract:
  The absolute branching fraction for the decay $D^+ \to \bar K^0 e^+\nu_e$ is
determined using $5321\pm 149 \pm 160$ singly tagged $D^-$ sample from the data
collected around 3.773 GeV with the BES-II detector at the BEPC collider. In
the system recoiling against the singly tagged $D^-$ meson, $34.4\pm 6.1$
events for $D^+ \to \bar K^0 e ^+\nu_e$ is observed. Those yield the absolute
branching fraction to be $BF(D^+ \to \bar K^0 e^+\nu_e)=(8.95 \pm 1.59\pm
0.67)%$. The ratio of the two partial widths for the decays of $D^0 \to
K^-e^+\nu_e$ and $D^+ \to \bar K^0 e ^+\nu_e$ is determined to be $ \Gamma (D^0
\to K^-e^+\nu_e)/ \Gamma (D^+ \to \bar K^0 e^+\nu_e) = 1.08\pm 0.22 \pm 0.07$.


title:
Measurement of the final states $\omega \pi^0$, $\rho \eta$, and $\rho
  \eta^{'}$ from $\psip$ electromagnetic decays and $\ee$ annihilations

abstract:
  Cross sections and form factors for $\ee \to \wpi$, $\rho\eta$, and
$\rho\etap$ at center of mass energies of 3.650, 3.686, and 3.773 GeV are
measured using data samples collected with the BESII detector at the BEPC.
Also, the branching fractions of $\psi(2S) \rar \wpi$, $\rho\eta$, and
$\rho\etap$ are determined to be $(1.87^{+0.68}_{-0.62}\pm0.28)\times 10^{-5}$,
$(1.78^{+0.67}_{-0.62}\pm0.17)\times 10^{-5}$, and
$(1.87^{+1.64}_{-1.11}\pm0.33)\times10^{-5}$, respectively.


title: Semileptonic KL Decays at NA48

abstract:
  Preliminary results on KL->pi e nu(gamma) decays collected by the NA48
detector at the CERN SPS are reported. Using a sample of 6.8 X 10^6
reconstructed events BR(Ke3) = 0.4010+-0.0028+-0.0035 was obtained. From the
branching ratio the value of |Vus|= 0.2187+-0.0028 was extracted. The same data
sample has provided also a high precision measurement of the slope lambda+ of
the form factor of the Ke3 decay. Investigating the Ke3gamma decay, from a
sample of 18977 reconstructed events, BR(Ke3gamma)/BR(Ke3) =
(0.964+-0.008+0.012-0.011)% was determined.


title: Search for D0 - D0bar Mixing and Rare Charm Decays

abstract:
  Based on a dataset acquired by the BaBar experiment running on and near the
$\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance from 1999-2002, limits are set on the rate of $D^0$--
$\kern 0.2em\bar{\kern -0.2em D}{}^0$ mixing using the decay mode $D^{*+} \to
D^0 \pi^{+}$, followed by a semi-leptonic decay of the $D^0$. Results are
compared to previous BaBar analysis using hadronic decays. We also report on a
search for the flavor-changing neutral current decays $D^0 \to e^{+} e^{-}$
($\mu^{+} \mu^{-}$) and the lepton-flavor violation decays $D^0 \to e^{\pm}
\mu^{\mp}$.


title: Measurement of Rb in e+e- Collisions at 182 - 209 GeV

abstract:
  Measurements of Rb, the ratio of the bbbar cross-section to the qqbar cross-
section in e+e- collisions, are presented. The data were collected by the OPAL
experiment at LEP at centre-of-mass energies between 182 GeV and 209 GeV.
Lepton, lifetime and event shape information is used to tag events containing b
quarks with high efficiency. The data are compatible with the Standard Model
expectation. The mean ratio of the eight measurements reported here to the
Standard Model prediction is 1.055+-0.031+-0.037, where the first error is
statistical and the second systematic.


title: Search for Radions at LEP2

abstract:
  A new scalar resonance, called the radion, with couplings to fermions and
bosons similar to those of the Higgs boson, is predicted in the framework of
Randall-Sundrum models, proposed solutions to the hierarchy problem with one
extra dimension. An important distinction between the radion and the Higgs
boson is that the radion would couple directly to gluon pairs, and in
particular its decay products would include a significant fraction of gluon
jets. The radion had the same quantum numbers as the Standard Model (SM) Higgs
boson, and therefore they can mix, with the resulting mass eigenstates having
properties different from those of the SM Higgs boson. Existing searches for
the Higgs boson are sensitive to the possible production and decay of radions
and Higgs bosons in these models. For the first time, searches for the SM Higgs
boson and flavour-independent and decay-mode independent searches for a neutral
Higgs boson are used in combination to explore the parameter space of the
Randall-Sundrum model. In the dataset recorded by the OPAL experiment at LEP,
no evidence for radion or Higgs particle production was observed in any of
those searches. The results are used to set limits on the radion and Higgs
boson masses.


title: CDF and D0 top quark cross section measurements

abstract:
  Preliminary results of ttbar cross section measurements and single top
exclusion limits of the Tevatron experiments CDF and D0 are presented. The
different measurements are based on a dataset between 140 and 200 inverse pb
corresponding to a data taking period from spring 2002 to September 2003. The
ttbar cross section measurements are consistent with each other and the
Standard Model prediction. Data and Monte-Carlo prediction are in good
agreement in the search for single top quark. Its observation is anticipated
with roughly 2 inverse fb integrated luminosity.


title:
Measurements of the qsq dependence of the D0 to K mu nu and D0 to pi mu
  nu form factors

abstract:
  Using a large sample of D0 to K mu nu and pi mu nu decays collected by the
FOCUS photoproduction experiment at Fermilab, we present new measurements of
the q^2 dependence for the f+(q^2) form factor. These measured f+(q^2) form
factors are fit to common parameterizations such as the pole dominance form and
compared to recent unquenched Lattice QCD calculations. We find m_pole =
1.93+-0.05+-0.03 GeV/c^2 for D0 to K mu nu and m_pole = 1.91+0.30-0.15+-0.07
GeV/c^2 for D0 to pi mu nu and f-^{K}(0)/f+^{K}(0) = -1.7+1.5-1.4+-0.3.


title: Search for X(3872) in gamma gamma Fusion and ISR at CLEO

abstract:
  We report on a search for the recently reported X(3872) state using 15.1
fb^{-1} e+ e- data taken in the \sqrt{s} = 9.46-11.30 GeV region. Separate
searches for the production of X(3872) in untagged gamma-gamma fusion and e+ e-
annihilation following initial state radiation (ISR) are made by taking
advantage of the unique correlation of J/psi -> l+ l- in X(3872) decay to pi+
pi- J/psi. No signals are observed in either case, and 90% confidence upper
limits are established as (2J+1)\Gamma_{\gamma\gamma}B(X -> pi+ pi- J/psi) <
12.9 eV and \Gamma_{ee}B(X -> pi+ pi- J/psi) < 8.3 eV.


title:
A Search for the Flavor-Changing Neutral Current Decay B0_s -> mu^+mu^-
  in pp(bar) Collisions at \sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV with the D0 Detector

abstract:
  We present the results of a search for the flavor-changing neutral current
decay B0_s -> mu+ mu- using a data set with integrated luminosity of 240
pb^{-1} of pp(bar) collisions at sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV collected with the D0
detector in Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron collider. We find the upper limit
on the branching fraction to be Br(B0_s -> mu+ mu-) \leq 5.0 x 10^{-7} at the
95% C.L. assuming no contributions from the decay B0_d -> mu+ mu- in the signal
region. This limit is the most stringent upper bound on the branching fraction
B0_s -> mu+ mu- to date.


title: Study of Scalar Mesons at BES

abstract:
  Partial wave analyses have been performed on BES data to study scalar mesons.
There is evidence for the $\kappa$ near the $K\pi$ threshold and the pole
position is $(760\sim840) -$i$(310\sim 420)$ MeV. The $\sigma$ peak is seen in
$\omega\pi^+\pi^-$ and gives an accurate pole position,
$(541\pm39)-$i$(252\pm42)$ MeV. The $f_0(980)$ is seen in both $\phi
\pi^+\pi^-$ and $\phi K^+K^-$ data. Parameters of the Flatt\' e formula for
$f_0(980)$ are: $M = 965 \pm 8(sta) \pm 6(sys) $ MeV, $g_1 = 165 \pm 10(sta)
\pm 15(sys)$ MeV, $g_2/g_1 = 4.21 \pm 0.25(sta) \pm 0.21(sys)$. The $J/\psi\to
\phi \pi^+\pi^-$ data require $f_0(1790)\to\pi^+\pi^-$, distinct from
$f_0(1710)\to K^+K^-$. Also $f_0(1370)$ is seen clearly in $\phi \pi^+\pi^-$
data.


title:
Measurement of the ttbar Production Cross Section in ppbar Collisions at
  sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV using Lepton + Jets Events with Secondary Vertex b-tagging

abstract:
  We present a measurement of the ttbar production cross section using events
with one charged lepton and jets from ppbar collisions at a center-of-mass
energy of 1.96 TeV. In these events, heavy flavor quarks from top quark decay
are identified with a secondary vertex tagging algorithm. From 162 pb-1 of data
collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab, a total of 48 candidate events
are selected, where 13.5 +- 1.8 events are expected from background
contributions. We measure a ttbar production cross section of 5.6^{+1.2}_{-1.1}
(stat.) ^{+0.9}_{0.6} (syst.) pb.


title: Direct Measurements of A_b and A_c using Vertex/Kaon Charge Tags at SLD

abstract:
  Exploiting the manipulation of the SLC electron-beam polarization, we present
precise direct measurements of the parity violation parameters A_c and A_b in
the Z boson - c quark and Z boson - b quark coupling. Quark/antiquark
discrimination is accomplished via a unique algorithm that takes advantage of
the precise SLD CCD vertex detector, employing the net charge of displaced
vertices as well as the charge of kaons that emanate from those vertices. From
the 1996-98 sample of 400,000 Z decays, produced with an average beam
polarization of 73.4%, we find A_c = 0.673 +/- 0.029 (stat.) +/- 0.023 (syst.)
and A_b = 0.919 +/- 0.018 (stat.) +/- 0.017 (syst.).


title: Initial results from the HARP experiment at CERN

abstract:
  Initial results on particle yields obtained by the HARP experiment are
presented. The measurements correspond to proton--nucleus collisions at beam
energies of 12.9 $GeV/c$ and for a thin Al target of 5% interacion legth. The
angular range considered is between 10 and 250 $mrad$. This results are the
first step in the upcoming measurement of the forward production cross-section
for the same target and beam energy, relevant for the calculation of the
far--to--near ratio of the K2K experiment.


title: Measurements of J/psi decays into phi pi^0, phi eta, and phi eta^prime

abstract:
  Based on 5.8x10^7 J/psi events detected in BESII, the branching fractions of
J/psi--> phi eta and phi eta^prime are measured for different eta and eta^prime
decay modes. The results are significantly higher than previous measurements.
An upper limit on B(J/psi--> phi pi^0) is also obtained.


title: Measurement of the Muon Decay Parameter delta

abstract:
  The muon decay parameter delta has been measured by the TWIST collaboration.
We find delta = 0.74964 +- 0.00066(stat.) +- 0.00112(syst.), consistent with
the Standard Model value of 3/4. This result implies that the product Pmuxi of
the muon polarization in pion decay, Pmu, and the muon decay parameter xi falls
within the 90% confidence interval 0.9960 < Pmuxi < xi < 1.0040. It also has
implications for left-right-symmetric and other extensions of the Standard
Model.


title: Fermilab Collider Run II: Accelerator Status and Upgrades

abstract:
  Fermilab will continue to maintain its pre-eminent position in the world of
High Energy Physics, with a unique opportunity to make unprecedented studies of
the top quark and major discoveries, until the Large Hadron collider (LHC) at
CERN becomes operational near the end of the decade. Run II is well underway
with major accelerator and detector upgrades since Run I. A program of further
upgrades to the accelerator complex will result in an integrated luminosity of
4-8 fb-1 per experiment, by the year 2009.


title: Measurements of CP Asymmetries at BABAR

abstract:
  We present preliminary measurements of CP-violating asymmetries in B decays.
These include new results on the CKM angle alpha based on studies of the decay
B -> rho+ rho- and several charmonium and hadronic penguin modes, sensitive to
the CKM angle beta, including results on B -> phi K0S, B -> K+K-K0, B -> eta'
K0S, B -> f0 K0, and B -> pi0 K0S. We also report on several of results related
to the extraction of gamma and (2*beta+gamma) and present limits on CPT
violation in B decays.


title: Upsilon Decays at CLEO

abstract:
  Using data collected using the CLEO III detector, we present recent results
on decays of the $\Upsilon(1S)-\Upsilon(3S)$ resonances. We report on three
analyses. They are: (1) improved measurements of the muonic branching fraction
of the $\Upsilon(1S)-\Upsilon(3S)$, (2) precision measurements of
$\Upsilon(2S)$ and $\Upsilon(3S)$ photonic transitions, and (3) new
measurements of $\Upsilon(1S)$ decays to charmonium final states.}]


title:
Experimental study of direct photon emission in K- --> pi- pi0 gamma
  decay using ISTRA+ detector

abstract:
  The branching ratio in the charged-pion kinetic energy region of 55 to 90 MeV
for the direct photon emission in the K- --> pi- pi0 gamma decay has been
measured using in-flight decays detected with the ISTRA+ setup operating in the
25 GeV/c negative secondary beam of the U-70 PS. The value
Br(DE)=[0.37+-0.39(stat)+-0.10(syst)]*10^(-5) obtained from the analysis of 930
completely reconstructed events is consistent with the average value of two
stopped-kaon experiments, but it differs by 2.5 standard deviations from the
average value of three in-flight-kaon experiments. The result is also compared
with recent theoretical predictions.


title: Direct Measurement of the Pseudoscalar Decay Constant fD+

abstract:
  The absolute branching fraction of $D^+ \to \mu^+ \nu$ has been directly
measured by an analysis of a data sample of about 33 ${\rm pb^{-1}}$ collected
around $\sqrt{s}=3.773$ GeV with the BES-II at the BEPC. At these energies,
$D^-$ meson is produced in pair as $e^+e^-\to D^{+} D^{-}$. A total of $5321
\pm 149 \pm 160$ $D^-$ mesons are reconstructed from this data set. In the
recoil side of the tagged $D^-$ mesons, $2.67\pm1.74$ purely leptonic decay
events of $D^+ \to \mu^+ \nu$ are observed. This yields a branching fraction of
$BF(D^+ \to \mu^+ \nu_{\mu}) = (0.122^{+0.111}_{-0.053}\pm 0.010)%$, and a
corresponding pseudoscalar decay constant $f_{D^+}=(371^{+129}_{-119}\pm 25)$
MeV.


title: Heavy Flavours: experimental summary

abstract:
  The experimental talks presented in the working group D ``Heavy Flavours'' of
the DIS04 workshop are summarised. New and recently updated results from
Tevatron, HERA, LEP, B-factories and neutrino experiments are discussed.


title: Measurement of the Ratio of B+ and B0 Meson Lifetimes

abstract:
  The ratio of B+ and B0 meson lifetimes was measured using data collected in
2002-2004 by the D0 experiment in Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider.
These mesons were reconstructed in B -> mu+ nu D*- X decays, which are
dominated by B0, and B ->mu+ nu D0bar X decays, which are dominated by B+. The
ratio of lifetimes is measured to be t+/t0 = 1.080 +- 0.016(stat) +-
0.014(syst).


title:
Search for Anomalous Production of Diphoton Events with Missing
  Transverse Energy at CDF and Limits on Gauge-Mediated Supersymmetry-Breaking
  Models

abstract:
  We present the results of a search for anomalous production of diphoton
events with large missing transverse energy using the Collider Detector at
Fermilab. In 202 $\invpb$ of $\ppbar$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV we
observe no candidate events, with an expected standard model background of
$0.27\pm0.07({\rm stat})\pm0.10({\rm syst})$ events. The results exclude a
lightest chargino of mass less than 167 GeV/$c^2$, and lightest neutralino of
mass less than 93 GeV/$c^2$ at 95% C.L. in a gauge--mediated supersymmetry--
breaking model with a light gravitino.


title:
Measurement of the Lambda^0_b lifetime in the decay Lambda^0_b -> J/psi
  Lambda^0 with the D0 Detector

abstract:
  We present measurements of the Lambda^0_b lifetime in the exclusive decay
channel Lambda^0_{b}->J/psi Lambda^0, with J/psi to mu+ mu- and Lambda^0 to p
pi-, the B^0 lifetime in the decay B^0 -> J/psi K^0_S with J/psi to mu+ mu- and
K^0_S to pi+ pi-, and the ratio of these lifetimes. The analysis is based on
approximately 250 pb^{-1} of data recorded with the D0 detector in pp(bar)
collisions at sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV. The Lambda^0_b lifetime is determined to be
tau(Lambda^0_b) = 1.22 +0.22/-0.18 (stat) +/- 0.04 (syst) ps, the B^0 lifetime
tau(B^0) = 1.40 +0.11/-0.10 (stat) +/- 0.03 (syst) ps, and the ratio
tau(Lambda^0_b)/tau(B^0) = 0.87 +0.17/-0.14 (stat) +/- 0.03 (syst). In contrast
with previous measurements using semileptonic decays, this is the first
determination of the Lambda^0_b lifetime based on a fully reconstructed decay
channel.

Vector and Axial Form Factors Applied to Neutrino Quasielastic
  Scattering

abstract:
  We calculate the quasielastic cross sections for neutrino scattering on
nucleons using up to date fits to the nucleon elastic electromagnetic form
factors GEp, GEn, GMp, GMn, and weak form factors. We show the extraction of Fa
for neutrino experiments. We show how well \minerva, a new approved experiment
at FNAL, can measure Fa. We show the that Fa has a different contribution to
the anti-neutrino cross section, and how the anti-neutrino data can be used to
check Fa extracted from neutrino scattering.


title: Charmless 2- and 3-body B decays and the angle alpha (phi2)

abstract:
  We present preliminary measurements of branching fractions and CP-asymmetry
parameters in two- and three-body charmless hadronic B decays. The available
data sample consists of 227 million Upsilon(4S) B decays collected with the
BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e- collider at SLAC. We
establish the observation of the decays B --> pi0 pi0 and B0 --> K0K0bar and
constrain the CKM angle alpha with a full SU(2) isospin analysis in the B -->
pi pi system and with a B0 --> pi+ pi- pi0 time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis.


title:
Production of vector mesons and measurement of the hadronic component of
  photon light-cone wave function at HERA

abstract:
  A detailed study of vector meson production ($\phi$ and $J/\psi$) in $e^\pm
p$ collisions at HERA with the ZEUS and H1 detector has been performed. The
cross sections are measured as a function of $Q^2$, $W$ and $t$. In this
contribution, the results are summarised, compared to theoretical calculations
and the dynamical picture emerging in perturbative QCD is highlighted. The
measurement of the hadronic component of the photon light-cone wave function in
the exclusive production of di-pions, $ep\to e \pi^+\pi^- p$ is also reported.


title:
Search for electroweak single top quark production in ppbar collisions
  at sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV

abstract:
  We report on a search for Standard Model t-channel and s-channel single top
quark production in ppbar collisions at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV. We
use a data sample corresponding to 162 pb^{-1} recorded by the upgraded
Collider Detector at Fermilab. We find no significant evidence for electroweak
top quark production and set upper limits at the 95% confidence level on the
production cross section, consistent with the Standard Model: 10.1 pb for the
t-channel, 13.6 pb for the s-channel and 17.8 pb for the combined cross section
of t- and s-channel.


title:
Measurement of the branching ratio of the decay KL -> pi e nu and
  extraction of the CKM parameter |Vus|

abstract:
  We present a new measurement of the branching ratio R of the decay KL -> pi e
nu (Ke3), relative to all charged KL decays with two tracks, based on data
taken with the NA48 detector at the CERN SPS. We measure R = 0.4978 +- 0.0035.
  From this we derive the Ke3 branching fraction and the weak coupling
parameter |Vus| in the CKM matrix. We obtain |Vus|f+(0) = 0.2146 +- 0.0016,
where f+(0) is the vector form factor in the Ke3 decay.


title:
Evidence for B_s production at the Upsilon(5S) from CLEO and properties
  of the Upsilon(4S) from BaBar

abstract:
  BaBar experiment scan around the Upsilon(4S) resonance and measure its mass
and full width. They also measure Br(Upsilon(4S) -> B0 B0b) = 0.486 +/- 0.010
+/- 0.009 from 81.7 fb-1 Upsilon(4S) data. CLEO collaboration took about 0.42
fb-1 Upsilon(5S) data. They search for B_s in both inclusive and exclusive
modes and find evidence for B_s production at the \Upsilon(5S) and
Br(Upsilon(5S) -> B_s^(*) B_s^(*)b) = (21 +/- 3 +/- 9)%.


title: The Muon Spectrometer of the ALICE experiment

abstract:
  The main goal of the Muon Spectrometer of the ALICE experiment is the
measurement of heavy quarks in pp, pA and AA collisions at LHC energies, via
the muonic channel. Physics motivations, the apparatus and its physics
performances are presented in this talk.


title:
A search for W bb and W Higgs production in ppbar collisions at
  sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV

abstract:
  We present a search for W b \bar{b} production in p \bar{p} collisions at
sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV in events containing one electron, an imbalance in transverse
momentum, and two b-tagged jets. Using 174 pb-1 of integrated luminosity
accumulated by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron collider, and the
standard-model description of such events, we set a 95% C.L. upper limit on W b
\bar{b}$ production of 6.6 pb for b quarks with transverse momenta p_T^b > 20
GeV and b \bar{b} separation in pseudorapidity-azimuth space Delta R_bb > 0.75.
Restricting the search to optimized b \bar{b} mass intervals provides upper
limits on $WH$ production of 9.0$-$12.2 pb, for Higgs-boson masses of 105$-$135
GeV.


title: First Evidence for B_s -> phi phi and Other Penguin B decays at CDF

abstract:
  We present the first evidence of the decay mode $B_s \to \phi \phi$ and a
measurement of partial width and direct CP asymmetry for the $B^+ \to \phi K^+$
decay using $180 pb^{-1}$ of data collected by the CDFII experiment at the
Fermilab Tevatron collider. We measure: $BR (\phiphi) = (1.4 \pm 0.6(stat.) \pm
0.2(syst.) \pm 0.5(\BR)) \cdot 10^{-5}$, where the last error is due to the
uncertainty on the $B_s \to J/\psi\phi$ branching ratio used as normalization,
$BR (\phi k) = (7.2 \pm 1.3(stat.) \pm 0.7(syst.)) \cdot 10^{-6}$ and $\ACP(phi
k) = -0.07 \pm 0.17 (stat.) \ase{0.06}{0.05} (syst.)$. We also briefly discuss
prospects for studying other charmless $B \to VV$ decays at CDF


title: Final QCD results from LEP

abstract:
  Recent results on QCD studies in e+e- annihilations at LEP are presented.
Data recorded by the LEP experiments at centre-of-mass energies between 91.2 to
206 GeV are included. The main topic is the measurement of alpha_s from
event-shape variables and associated aspects like the energy evolution or
non-perturbative power-law corrections. These 'standard' measurements are
complemented by new determinations using the 4-jet rate with an excellent
precision. A summary of the results on QCD colour factors from angular
correlations in the 4-jet system completes this report.


title: Measurement of K^0_e3 form factors

abstract:
  The semileptonic decay of the neutral K meson, KL -> pi e nu (Ke3), was used
to study the strangeness-changing weak interaction of hadrons. A sample of 5.6
million reconstructed events recorded by the NA48 experiment was used to
measure the Dalitz plot density. Admitting all possible Lorentz-covariant
couplings, the form factors for vector (f_+(q^2)), scalar (f_S) and tensor
(f_T) interactions were measured. The linear slope of the vector form factor
lambda_+ = 0.0284+-0.0007+-0.0013 and values for the ratios |f_S/f_+(0)| =
0.015^{+0.007}_{-0.010}+-0.012 and |f_T/f_+(0)| = 0.05^{+0.03}_{-0.04}+-0.03
were obtained. The values for f_S and f_T are consistent with zero. Assuming
only Vector-Axial vector couplings, lambda_+ = 0.0288+-0.0004+-0.0011 and a
good fit consistent with pure V-A couplings were obtained. Alternatively, a fit
to a dipole form factor yields a pole mass of M = 859+-18 MeV, consistent with
the K^*(892) mass.


title:
Measurement of the WW production cross section in p anti-p collisions at
  s**(1/2) = 1.96 TeV

abstract:
  We present a measurement of the W boson pair-production cross section in p
anti-p collisions at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV. The data,
collected with the Run II DO detector, correspond to an integrated luminosity
of 224-252 pb^-1 depending on the final state (ee, emu or mumu). We observe 25
candidates with a background expectation of
8.1+/-0.6(stat)+/-0.6(syst)+/-0.5(lum) events. The probability for an upward
fluctuation of the background to produce the observed signal is 2.3x10^-7,
equivalent to 5.2 standard deviations.The measurement yields a cross section of
13.8+4.3/-3.8(stat)+1.2/-0.9(syst)+/-0.9(lum) pb, in agreement with predictions
from the standard model.


title: Analysis of the semileptonic decay $D^0 \to \bar{K}^0 \pi^-\mu^+\nu$

abstract:
  Using data collected by the fixed target Fermilab experiment FOCUS, we
present several first measurements for the semileptonic decay $D^0 \to
\bar{K}^0\pi^-\mu^+\nu$. Using a model that includes a $\bar{K}^0 \pi^-$ S-wave
component, we measure the form factor ratios to be r_v= 1.706+-0.677+-0.342 and
r_2= 0.912+-0.370+-0.104 and the S-wave amplitude to be A=0.347+-0.222+-0.053
GeV^-1. Finally, we measure the vector semileptonic branching ratio
$\frac{\Gamma(D^0 \to K^{*}(892){-}\mu^+\nu)}{\Gamma(D^0 \to
\bar{K}^0\pi^-\pi^+)}= 0.337+-0.034+-0.013.


title:
Measurement of the branching ratio of the decay D^0 -> \pi^-\mu^+\nu
  relative to D^0 -> K^-\mu^+\nu

abstract:
  We present a new measurement of the branching ratio of the Cabibbo suppressed
decay D^0\to \pi^-\mu^+\nu relative to the Cabibbo favored decay D^0\to
K^-\mu^+\nu and an improved measurement of the ratio
|\frac{f_+^{\pi}(0)}{f_+^{K}(0)}|. Our results are 0.074 \pm 0.008 \pm 0.007
for the branching ratio and 0.85 \pm 0.04 \pm 0.04 \pm 0.01 for the form factor
ratio, respectively.


title:
The Measurement of Time-Dependent CP-Violating Asymmetries in
  Loop-Dominated B Decays with BABAR

abstract:
  We report on preliminary measurements of time-dependent CP asymmetries in
neutral B decays to CP eigenstates with transition amplitudes that are
dominated by penguin-type loops. The results are obtained from a data sample of
up to 227 million Upsilon(4S)->BB-bar decays collected with the BABAR detector
at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B-meson Factory at SLAC. The amplitudes of the
effective mixing-induced CP asymmetries, sin(2beta)_eff, are derived from
decay-time distributions of events in which one neutral B meson is fully
reconstructed in a final state without charm and the other B meson is
determined to be either a B0 or B0-bar from its decay products.


title:
Measurements of the Branching Fractions and Decay Distributions for
  KL->\pi\mu\nu\gamma and KL->\pi e\nu\gamma

abstract:
  We present measurements of R_Kl3rad = Gamma(KL->\pi\ell\nu\gamma; Egcm > 10
MeV)/Gamma(KL->\pi\ell\nu), where ell = mu or e, and Egcm is the photon energy
in the kaon rest frame. These measurements are based on KL decays collected in
1997 by the KTeV (E832) experiment at Fermilab. With samples of 1385
KL->\pi\mu\nu\gamma and 14221 KL->\pi\e\nu\gamma candidates, we find R_Km3rad =
(0.530 +- 0.019)% and R_Ke3rad = (4.942 +- 0.062)%. We also examine
distributions of photon energy and lepton-photon angle.


title:
Measurement of the energy dependence of hadronic jet rates and the
  strong coupling alpha_s from the four-jet rate with the DELPHI detector at
  LEP

abstract:
  Hadronic events from the data collected with the DELPHI detector at LEP
within the energy range from 89 GeV to 209 GeV are selected, their jet rates
are determined and compared to predictions of four different event generators.
One of them is the recently developed APACIC++ generator which performs a
massive matrix element calculation matched to a parton shower followed by
string fragmentation. The four-jet rate is used to measure alpha_s in the
next-to-leading-order approximation yielding alpha_s(M_Z^2) = 0.1175 +/-
0.0030. The running of alpha_s determined by using four-jet events has been
tested. The logarithmic energy slope is measured to be d\alpha_s^{-1} / d\log
E_{cm} = 1.14 +/- 0.36. Since the analysis is based on four-jet final states it
represents an alternative approach to previous DELPHI alpha_s measurements
using event shape distributions.


title: Light Meson Spectroscopy with the Kloe Experiment

abstract:
  We describe the status of the analyses in progress on light meson
spectroscopy in the KLOE experiment. We present the analyses of phi decays into
f0(980)gamma and a0(980)gamma, the Dalitz plot analysis of the eta to pie+ pie-
pie0 decay, the branching ratio measurement of eta to pie0 gamma gamma, the
upper limits on Br(eta to 3 gamma) and Br(eta to pie^+ pie^-), the measurement
of the ratio Br(phi to eta' gamma)/Br(phi to eta gamma) and phi leptonic width
measurements.


title:
Measurement of Exclusive rho^0 rho^0 Production in Mid-Virtuality
  Two-Photon Interactions at LEP

abstract:
  Exclusive rho^0 rho^0 production in two-photon collisions between a
quasi-real and a mid-virtuality photon is studied with data collected at LEP at
centre-of-mass energies 183GeV < sqrt{s} < 209GeV with a total integrated
luminosity of 684.8/pb. The cross section of the process gamma gamma* -> rho^0
rho^0 is determined as a function of the photon virtuality, q^2, and the
two-photon centre-of-mass energy, Wgg, in the kinematic region: 0.2GeV^2 < q^2
< 0.85GeV^2 and 1.1GeV < Wgg < 3GeV.


title:
Precision Measurements of the Semileptonic Charm Decays $D^0 \to \pi^-
  \ell^+ \nu$ and $D^0 \to K^- \ell^+ \nu$

abstract:
  We investigate the decays $D^0\to\pi^-\ell^+\nu$ and $D^0\to K^-\ell^+ \nu$,
where $\ell$ is $e$ or $\mu$, using approximately 7 ${\rm fb}^{-1}$ of data
collected with the CLEO III detector. We find $R_0\equiv {\cal B}(D^0\to
\pi^-e^+\nu)/{\cal B}(D^0\to K^-e^+\nu)= 0.082 \pm 0.006 \pm 0.005$. Fits to
the kinematic distributions of the data provide parameters describing the form
factor of each mode. Combining the form factor results and $R_0$ gives
$|f^{\pi}_{+}(0)|^2 |V_{cd}|^2/|f^K_{+}(0)|^2 |V_{cs}|^2 =
0.038^{+0.006+0.005}_{-0.007-0.003}$.


title: Coherent Soft Particle Production in Z Decays into Three Jets

abstract:
  Low-energy particle production perpendicular to the event plane in three-jet
events produced in Z decays in e+e- annihilation is measured and compared to
that perpendicular to the event axis in two-jet events. The topology dependence
of the hadron production ratio is found to agree with a leading-order QCD
prediction. This agreement and especially the need for the presence of a
destructive interference term gives evidence for the coherent nature of gluon
radiation. Hadron production in three-jet events is found to be directly
proportional to a single topological scale function of the inter-jet angles.
The slope of the dependence of the multiplicity with respect to the topological
scale was measured to be: 2.211 +/- 0.014 (stat.) +/- 0.053 (syst.) in good
agreement with the expectation given by the colour-factor ratio C_A / C_F =
9/4. This result strongly supports the assumption of local parton-hadron
duality, LPHD, at low hadron momentum.


title:
Search for Scalar Leptoquark Pairs Decaying to $\nu \bar \nu q \bar q$
  in \ppbar Collisions at $\sqrt {s} = 1.96$ TeV

abstract:
  We report on a search for the pair production of scalar leptoquarks, $LQ$,
using 191 pb$^{-1}$ of proton-antiproton collision data recorded by the CDF
experiment during Run II of the Tevatron. The leptoquarks are sought via their
decay into a neutrino and quark yielding missing transverse energy and several
jets of large transverse energy. No evidence for leptoquark production is
observed, and limits are set on $\sigma(p\bar p\to LQ\bar{LQ} X \to \nu\bar\nu
q\bar q X)$. Using a next-to-leading order theoretical prediction of the cross
section for scalar leptoquark production, we exclude first-generation
leptoquarks in the mass interval 78 to 117 GeV$/c^2$ at the 95% confidence
level for BR($LQ\to \nu q)=100%$.


title: A Study of D0 --> K0(S) K0(S) X Decay Channels

abstract:
  Using data from the FOCUS experiment (FNAL-E831), we report on the decay of
$D^0$ mesons into final states containing more than one $K^0_S$. We present
evidence for two Cabibbo favored decay modes, $D^0\to K^0_SK^0_S K^- \pi^+$ and
$D^0\to K^0_SK^0_S K^+ \pi^-$, and measure their combined branching fraction
relative to $D^0\to \bar{K} ^0\pi^+\pi^-$ to be $\frac{\Gamma(D^0\to
K^0_SK^0_SK^{\pm}\pi^{\mp})}{\Gamma(D^0\to \bar{K} ^0\pi^+\pi^-)}$ = 0.0106
$\pm$ 0.0019 $\pm$ 0.0010. Further, we report new measurements of
$\frac{\Gamma(D^0\to K^0_SK^0_SK^0_S)}{\Gamma(D^0\to \bar{K} ^0\pi^+\pi^-)}$ =
0.0179 $\pm$ 0.0027 $\pm$ 0.0026, $\frac{\Gamma(D^0\to K^0\bar{K}
^0)}{\Gamma(D^0\to \bar{K} ^0\pi^+\pi^-)}$ = 0.0144 $\pm$ 0.0032 $\pm$ 0.0016,
and $\frac{\Gamma(D^0\to K^0_SK^0_S\pi^+\pi^-)}{\Gamma(D^0\to \bar{K}
^0\pi^+\pi^-)}$ = 0.0208 $\pm$ 0.0035 $\pm$ 0.0021 where the first error is
statistical and the second is systematic.


title:
A Measurement of the Ratio of Inclusive Cross Sections
  pp->Z+b-jet/pp->Z+jet at sqrt(s) = 1.96-TeV

abstract:
  Using the data collected with the DZero detector at sqrt(s)=1.96-TeV, for
integrated luminosities of about 180 pb^{-1}, we have measured the ratio of
inclusive cross sections for p+pbar->Z+bjet to p+pbar->Z+jet production. The
inclusive Z+b-jet reaction is an important background to searches for the Higgs
boson in associated ZH production at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. Our
measurement is the first of its kind, and relies on the Z->e^+e^- and
Z->mu^+mu^- modes. The combined measurement of the ratio yields 0.023 +/- 0.005
for hadronic jets with transverse momenta p_T>20 GeV/c and pseudorapidities
|eta|<2.5, consistent with next-to-leading order predictions of the standard
model.


title: Neutrino Astronomy with ANTARES

abstract:
  ANTARES is a project aiming at the operation of an underwater detector at a
depth of 2.5 km close to Toulon in the South of France. The detector is
expected to be completed at the beginning of 2007. The main purpose of the
experiment is the detection of high energy neutrinos produced in astrophysical
sources. Being weakly interacting, neutrinos could potentially be more powerful
messengers of the universe compared to photons, but their detection is
challenging. The technique employs phototubes to detect the arrival time and
the amplitude of photons emitted by neutrino charged secondaries due to the
Cherenkov effect. ANTARES will contribute significantly in the field of
neutrino astronomy, observing the Galactic Centre with unprecedented pointing
capabilities.


title:
Pentaquark Searches in Electron-Positron Annihilations and Two-Photon
  Collisions at LEP

abstract:
  Evidence for the production of exotic hadron states composed of five quarks
(pentaquarks) has been searched for in data collected by the ALEPH, DELPHI, and
L3 experiments at LEP. No significant signal is observed. Several 95% C.L.
upper limits are set on the production rates of such particles.


title:
Proposal for U.S. participation in Double-CHOOZ: A New theta-13
  Experiment at the Chooz Reactor

abstract:
  It has recently been widely recognized that a reactor anti-neutrino
disappearance experiment with two or more detectors is one of the most
cost-effective ways to extend our reach in sensitivity for the neutrino mixing
angle theta-13 without ambiguities from CP violation and matter effects. The
physics capabilities of a new reactor experiment together with superbeams and
neutrino factories have also been studied but these latter are considered by
many to be more ambitious projects due to their higher costs, and hence to be
farther in the future.
  We propose to contribute to an international collaboration to modify the
existing neutrino physics facility at the Chooz-B Nuclear Power Station in
France. The experiment, known as Double-CHOOZ, is expected to reach a
sensitivity of sine squared of twice the mixing angle > 0.03 over a three year
run, 2008-2011. This would cover roughly 85% of the remaining allowed region.
The costs and time to first results for this critical parameter can be
minimized since our project takes advantage of an existing infrastructure.


title: Searches for New Physics

abstract:
  Current experimental limits for new physics beyond the Standard Model and
hints for deviations from Standard Model expectations will be reviewed,
highlighting recent results. Possible signals that will be discussed include
Higgs bosons, supersymmetric particles, large extra dimensions, new gauge
bosons, dynamical symmetry breaking, muon g - 2, rare decays and lepton flavor
violation. The discovery potential of the LHC and ILC will be presented, and
the impact of discovery on answering fundamental questions of physics will be
assessed.


title: Beta Beams

abstract:
  Beta Beams could address the needs of long term neutrino oscillation
experiments. They can produce extremely pure neutrino beams through the decays
of relativistic radioactive ions. The baseline scenario is described, together
with its physics performances. Using a megaton water Cerenkov detector
installed under the Frejus, Beta Beams could improve by a factor 200 the
present limits on $\sin^2{2 \thetaot}$ and discover leptonic CP violating
effects if the CP phase delta would be greater than 30 degree and theta13
greater than 1 degree. These performances can be further improved if a neutrino
SuperBeam generated by the SPL 4MW, 2.2 GeV, proton Linac would be fired to the
same detector. Innovative ideas on higher and lower energy Beta Beams are also
described.


title: TOTEM: Forward Physics at the LHC

abstract:
  The TOTEM experiment with its detectors in the forward region of CMS and the
Roman Pots along the beam line will determine the total pp cross-section via
the optical theorem by measuring both the elastic cross-section and the total
inelastic rate. TOTEM will have dedicated runs with special high-beta* beam
optics and a reduced number of proton bunches resulting in a low effective
luminosity between 1.6 x 10^{28} cm^{-2} s^{-1} and 2.4 x 10^{29} cm^{-2}
s^{-1}. In these special conditions also an absolute luminosity measurement
will be made, allowing the calibration of the CMS luminosity monitors needed at
higher luminosities. The acceptance of more than 90 % of all leading protons in
the Roman Pot system, together with CMS's central and TOTEM's forward detectors
extending to a maximum rapidity of 6.5, makes the combined CMS+TOTEM experiment
a unique instrument for exploring diffractive processes. Scenarios for running
at higher luminosities necessary for hard diffractive phenomena with low
cross-sections are under study.


title: E835 at FNAL: Charmonium Spectroscopy in $\bar p p$ Annihilations

abstract:
  I present preliminary results on the search for $h_c$ in its $\eta_c\gamma$
and $J/\psi\pi^0$ decay modes. We observe an excess of \eta_c\gamma$ events
near 3526 MeV that has a probability ${\cal P} \sim 0.001$ to arise from
background fluctations. The resonance parameters are $M=3525.8 \pm 0.2 \pm 0.2
$MeV, $\Gamma\leq$ 1 MeV, and $10.6\pm 3.7\pm3.4(br) <
\Gamma_{\bar{p}p}B_{\eta_c\gamma} < 12.8\pm 4.8\pm4.5(br) $eV. We find no event
excess within the search region in the $J/\psi\pi^0$ mode.


title: Measurement of the Top Quark Mass In All-Jet Events

abstract:
  We describe a measurement of the mass of the top quark from the purely
hadronic decay modes of t-tbar pairs using all-jet data produced in p-pbar
collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.8 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The data,
which correspond to an integrated luminosity of 110.2 pb^-1, were collected
with the Dzero detector from 1992 to 1996. We find a top quark mass of 178.5 +
13.7 (stat) + 7.7(syst) GeV/c^2.


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

abstract:
  Based on data collected by the CLEO III detector at CESR, we started a series
of investigations to open the mysteries of the $\Upsilon$(5S) resonance decay
properties. $B_s$ 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 present the first evidence of a substantial
production of $B_s$ mesons at the $\Upsilon$(5S) resonance. We make here a
preliminary model dependent estimate of the ratio of $B_s^{(*)}\bar{B}_s^{(*)}$
to the total $b\bar{b}$ quark pair production at the $\Upsilon$(5S) energy to
be $(21\pm 3 \pm 9)$%.


title:
A New Measurement of the Masses and Widths of the Sigma_c^*++ and
  Sigma_c^*0 Charmed Baryons

abstract:
  Using data recorded by the CLEO III detector at CESR, we have made
measurements of some properties of the Sigma_c^{*++} and Sigma_c^{*0} charmed
baryons. In particular: Gamma(Sigma_c^{*++})=14.4^{+1.6}_{-1.5}+-1.4 MeV,
M(Sigma_c^{*++})-M(Lambda_c^+) = 231.5+-0.4+-0.3 MeV,
Gamma(Sigma_c^{*0})=16.6^{+1.9}_{-1.7}+-1.4 MeV, M(Sigma_c^{*0})-M(Lambda_c^+)
= 231.4+-0.5+-0.3 MeV.


title: Measuring 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 the value of ${\cal{B}}(D^+\to\mu^+\nu)=(3.5\pm 1.4 \pm
0.6)\times 10^{-4}$, and determine $f_{D^+}=(198\pm 41\pm 17)$ MeV.


title: Evidence for hc Production from psi-prime at CLEO

abstract:
  Using the ~ 6 pb-1 of e+e- annihilation data taken at psi-prime(3686) with
CLEO III and CLEO-c detectors with estimated ~ 3.0 million psi-prime events, we
have searched for the h_c(1^1P_1) state of charmonium in the reaction
psi-prime(3686) -> pi^{0} hc -> (gamma gamma) (gamma eta_c). The preliminary
results are reported.


title: Observation of the D1(2420)->DPI+PI- decays

abstract:
  We report on the first observation of $D_1\to D\pi^+\pi^-$ decays (where the
contribution from the dominant known $D_1 \to D^* \pi$ decay mode is excluded)
in the $B\to D_1\pi$ decays. The observation is based on $15.2\times 10^7
B\bar{B}$ events collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB collider. We
also set 90% confidence level upper limits for the $D_2^*\to D^{(*)}\pi^+\pi^-$
and $D_1 \to D^*\pi^+\pi^-$ decays in the $B\to D^*_2\pi$ and $B\to D_1\pi$
decays, respectively.


title: Constraints on the CKM angle alpha in the B --> rho rho decays

abstract:
  Using a data sample of 122 million Upsilon(4S) -> BBbar decays collected with
BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B factory at SLAC, we measure the
time-dependent-asymmetry parameters of the longitudinally polarized component
in the B0 -> rho^+ rho^- decay as C_L = -0.23 +/- 0.24 (stat) +/- 0.14 (syst)
and S_L = -0.19 +/- 0.33 (stat) +/- 0.11 (syst). The B0 -> rho0 rho0 decay mode
is also searched for in a data sample of about 227 million BBbar pairs. No
significant signal is observed, and an upper limit of 1.1 * 10-6 (90% C.L.) on
the branching fraction is set. The penguin contribution to the CKM angle
$\alpha$ uncertainty is measured to be 11 degree. All results are preliminary.


title: Pentaquark Search and Other Multiquark Candidates at BES

abstract:
  Results are presented on $\psi(2S)$ and $J/\psi$ hadronic decays to
$K^0_SpK^-\bar n$ and $K^0_S\bar p K^+n$ final states from data samples of 14
million $\psi(2S)$ and 58 million $J/\psi$ events accumulated at the BES II
detector. No $\Theta(1540)$ signal, the pentaquark candidate, is observed, and
the upper limits are set. We also present a narrow enhancement near $2m_p$ in
the invariant mass spectrum of $p \bar{p}$ pairs from $J/\psi \to \gamma p
\bar{p}$ decays, an enhancement near the $m_p + M_{\Lambda}$ mass threshold and
an enhancement near the $m_K + m_{\Lambda}$ mass threshold from $J/\psi \to p
K^- \bar{\Lambda} + c.c.$ decays, based on 58 million $J/\psi$ events.


title: New Results on Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering at H1, ZEUS and HERMES

abstract:
  The process of deeply virtual Compton scattering will be shortly introduced,
and the latest results from measurements at the HERA ep-collider at DESY will
be given. In particular, the cross section has been measured with increased
statistics at the collider experiments H1 and ZEUS, while HERMES for the first
time reports measurements of the t-dependence of the beam-charge asymmetry on
hydrogen and of a beam-charge asymmetry on deuterium.


title: Results on Tau Physics from BaBar

abstract:
  Recent results on tau physics from BaBar are reviewed. Limits on
lepton-flavor violation in the tau decay process tau->lll are presented based
on 91.6 fb^1 of data. In all six decay modes considered, the numbers of events
found in data are compatible with the background expectations, and upper limits
on the branching fractions are set in the range (1-3) 10^-7 at 90% CL. A
preliminary measurement of the five prong branching fraction based on 110.7
fb^-1 of data is presented with the result B(tau- -> 3h- 2h+ nu) =
(8.52+/-0.09+/-0.40) 10^-4. A preliminary measurement of the tau lifetime based
on 30 fb^-1 of data is presented where a lifetime of 290.8+/-1.5+/-1.6 fs is
measured.


title: Resonances in $J/\psi \to \phi \pi ^+\pi ^-$ and $\phi K^+K^-$

abstract:
  A partial wave analysis is presented of $J/\psi \to \phi \pi ^+\pi ^-$ and
$\phi K^+K^-$ from a sample of 58M $J/\psi$ events in the BES II detector. The
$f_0(980)$ is observed clearly in both sets of data, and parameters of the
Flatt\' e formula are determined accurately: $M = 965 \pm 8$ (stat) $\pm 6$
(syst) MeV/c$^2$, $g_1 = 165 \pm 10 \pm 15 $ MeV/c$^2$, $g_2/g_1 = 4.21 \pm
0.25 \pm 0.21$. The $\phi \pi \pi$ data also exhibit a strong $\pi \pi$ peak
centred at $M = 1335$ MeV/c$^2$. It may be fitted with $f_2(1270)$ and a
dominant $0^+$ signal made from $f_0(1370)$ interfering with a smaller
$f_0(1500)$ component. There is evidence that the $f_0(1370)$ signal is
resonant, from interference with $f_2(1270)$. There is also a state in $\pi
\pi$ with $M = 1790 ^{+40}_{-30}$ MeV/c$^2$ and $\Gamma = 270 ^{+60}_{-30}$
MeV/c$^2$; spin 0 is preferred over spin 2. This state, $f_0(1790)$, is
distinct from $f_0(1710)$. The $\phi K\bar K$ data contain a strong peak due to
$f_2'(1525)$. A shoulder on its upper side may be fitted by interference
between $f_0(1500)$ and $f_0(1710)$.


title: Status of SUSY Searches

abstract:
  Searches for supersymmetric particles at LEP are first reviewed, with some
emphasis on the mass limit for the lightest neutralino. The framework is the
MSSM with R-parity conservation, with brief excursions towards mSUGRA and GMSB.
Next, recent results obtained in the Run II of the Tevatron are presented.


title: Charmed Meson Spectroscopy

abstract:
  In the two years since HQL02, the long sought $j_{\ell}=1/2$ states have been
observed. In the charmed non-strange sector, these states have the expected
properties but, in the charmed strange sector, the states have masses below
threshold for the otherwise dominant decay modes, allowing their observation in
suppressed modes. Improved measurements of the masses and widths of the well
established P-wave charm states have also been published.


title: Dalitz Analysis of B->K+pi+pi- and B->K+K+pi-

abstract:
  We report results of the Dalitz analysis of the three-body charmless
B->K+pi+pi- and B->K+K+K- decays based on a 140fb^{-1} data sample collected
with the Belle detector. Measurements of branching fractions for quasi-two-body
decays to scalar-pseudoscalar states: B-> f_0(980)K^+, B-> K^*_0(1430)^0 pi+,
and to vector-pseudoscalar states: B-> K^*(892)^0 pi+, B-> rho^0 K+, B-> phi K+
are presented. Upper limits on decays to some pseudoscalar-tensor final states
are reported. We also report the new measurement of the B-> chi_c K+ branching
fraction in two chi_c decay channels: chi_c-> pi+ pi- and chi_c-> K+K-.


title: Search for pentaquarks at Belle

abstract:
  We search for the strange pentaquark $\Theta^+$ using kaon interactions in
the material of the Belle detector. No signal is observed in the $p K_S$ final
state, while in the $p K^-$ final state we observe $\sim 1.6 \cdot 10^4$
$\Lambda(1520) \to p K^-$ decays. We set an upper limit on the ratio of
$\Theta^+$ to $\Lambda(1520)$ yields $\sigma(\Theta^+) / \sigma(\Lambda(1520))
< 2%$ at 90% CL assuming that the $\Theta^+$ is narrow. We also report on
searches for strange and charmed pentaquarks in B meson decays. These results
are obtained from a 155$fb^{-1}$ data sample collected with the Belle detector
near the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance, at the KEKB asymmetric energy $e^+ e^-$
collider.


title: QCD Studies and alpha_s Measurements at LEP

abstract:
  The LEP experiments have measured event shapes using data taken at e+e-
center-of-mass energies ranging from 91 GeV to 209 GeV. Using the final LEP
event shape measurements, a combined value of the strong coupling constant
alpha_s(M_Z) has been extracted. Events with photon radiation have been used to
extend the measurements to lower center-of-mass energies sqrt(s') to study the
running of alpha_s. Alternative alpha_s measurements using four-jet rates have
also been performed.


title: Observation of New Hadronic $\psi(2S)$ Decays at CLEO

abstract:
  Using 5.46 pb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data collected at the
$\psi(2S)$ with the CLEO detector we have observed a variety of new hadronic
decay modes of the $\psi(2S)$. A comprehensive set of branching ratios and
upper limits is presented.


title: Pion-Xi correlations in Au-Au collisions at STAR

abstract:
  We present pion-Xi correlation analysis in Au-Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=
200 GeV and sqrt(s_NN) = 62.4 GeV, performed using the STAR detector at RHIC. A
Xi*(1530) resonance signal is observed for the first time in Au-Au collisions.
Experimental data are compared with theoretical predictions. The strength of
the Xi* peak is reproduced in the correlation function assuming that pions and
Xis emerge from a system in collective expansion.


title:
Top Pair Production Cross-Section Measurement in the All-Hadronic
  Channel at CDF and Dzero

abstract:
  Measurements of the ttbar production cross-section at \sqrt{s} = 1.96TeV in
proton-antiproton collisions were performed by the CDF and Dzero collaborations
using ttbar final states where both W's decay hadronically. Each experiment
uses luminosity of about 160pb^-1 of data collected during Run II of the
Fermilab Tevatron collider. Beside kinematical observables both experiments
take advantage of identifying b-jets based on lifetime tagging. While CDF
counts the number of b-tags over background after a cut based analysis, Dzero
counts the excess of events after a neural network based kinematical selection
and requiring a b-tagged jet.
  CDF obtains $\sigma_{ttbar}=7.8+-2.5{stat}^{+4.7}_{-2.3}{syst}; Dzero
$\sigma_{ttbar}=7.7^{+3.4}_{-3.3}{stat}^{+4.7}_{-3.8}{syst}+-0.5{lumi}.


title: B-physics: new states, rare decays and branching ratios in CDF

abstract:
  We present results and prospects for searches for rare B and D meson decays
with final state dimuons, including B_s\to\mu\mu, B_d\to\mu\mu, and D\to\mu\mu.
Upper limits on the branching fractions are compared to previous CDF
measurements, recent results from the B factories and theoretical expectations.
We also report on new measurements of production and decay properties of the
X(3872) particle, discovered in 2003 by the Belle Collaboration. New results on
the measurement of the relative branching fraction for the Cabibbo suppressed
decay B^+\to J/\psi\pi^+ Br(B^+\to J/\psi\pi^+)/Br(B^+\to J/\psi K^+) are
presented too. The presented results are based on the analyses of 70 to 220
pb^-1 of data collected by the CDF II detector in p\bar p collisions at
\sqrt{s} = 1.96 GeV at Fermilab Tevatron.


title: First Results from CLEO-c at E_cm=Psi(3770)

abstract:
  The CLEO-c detector at CESR has begun to collect large data sets of $e^+e^-
\to c\bar{c}$ events in the center-of-mass energy range $\sqrt{s}=3 - 5 $GeV
that will greatly enhance the size of the world's data sets of events produced
at charm threshold. Preliminary results for the pseudoscalar decay constant
$f_{D^+}$ and absolute D-meson hadronic branching fractions from an initial
integrated luminosity ${\cal L}=57 {\rm pb^{-1}}$ collected at
$\sqrt{s}=\Psi(3770)$ are described. These charm measurements are also relevant
for B physics.


title: Electroweak, Top and Bottom Physics from the Tevatron

abstract:
  The Tevatron Run-II program has been in progress since 2001, and the CDF and
D0 experiments have been operational with upgraded detectors. Coupled with
recent improvements in the Tevatron accelerator performance, the experiments
have started producing important physics results and measurements. We report
these measurements as well as prospects in the near future.


title:
Measurement of Cross Sections for $D^0 {\bar D}^0$ and $D^+D^-$
  Production in $e^+e^-$ Annihilation at $\sqrt{s}=3.773$ GeV

abstract:
  The cross sections for $D^0 {\bar D}^0$ and $D^+D^-$ production at 3.773 GeV
have been measured with BES-II detector at BEPC. These measurements are made by
analyzing a data sample of about 17.3 $\rm pb^{-1}$ collected at the
center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV. Observed cross sections for the charm pair
production are radiatively corrected to obtain the tree level cross section for
$D\bar D$ production. A measurement of the total tree level hadronic cross
section is obtained from the tree level $D \bar D$ cross section and an
extrapolation of the $R_{uds}$ below the open charm threshold.


title: Semileptonic D Decays from CLEO and BELLE

abstract:
  Recent semileptonic D meson decay results are summarized, including the
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 $D^{0} \to \rho^{-}e^{+}\nu$ with the first CLEO-c data sample.


title: Status and Perspectives of Neutrino Physics

abstract:
  I will first give a brief but comprehensive review of the status of our
knowledge in neutrino physics. With reference to a not too far future I will
then discuss the perspectives that appear to me to be most important and
promising.


title:
Ambiguity-Free Measurement of cos2beta: Time-Integrated and
  Time-Dependent Angular Analyses of B->J/Psi K pi

abstract:
  We present results on $B\to J/\psi\xspace K\pi$ decays using $e^+e^-$
annihilation data collected with the BABAR detector at the $\Upsilon(4S)$
resonance. The detector is located at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy storage ring
facility at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. Using approximately 88
million $B\bar{B}$ pairs, we measure the decay amplitudes for the flavor
eigenmodes and observe strong-phase differences indicative of final-state
interactions with a significance of 7.6 standard deviations. We use the
interference between the $K\pi$ $S$-wave and $P$-wave amplitudes in the region
of the $K^*(892)$ to resolve the ambiguity in the determination of these strong
phases. We then perform an ambiguity-free measurement of $\cos2\beta$ using the
angular and time-dependent asymmetry in $B\to J/\psi\xspace K^{*0}(K_S^0\pi^0$)
dec With $\sin 2 \beta$ fixed at its measured value and $\cos 2 \beta$ treated
as an in we find $\cos 2\beta=2.72_{-0.79}^{+0.50}\mathrm{(stat)} \pm
0.27\mathrm{(syst)}$, de sign of $\cos 2\beta$ to be positive at 86% CL.


title:
A Study of B+->p pbar K+ and a Search for a Theta*++ Pentaquark
  Candidate in B Decay

abstract:
  A study of the decay B+->ppbarK+ is performed using 81fb-1 of data collected
at the Upsilon(4S) with the BaBar detector at PEP-II. The branching fraction of
B+->ppbarK+ is measured to be (6.7+/-0.9+/-0.6)x10^-6. An upper limit on the
branching fraction of B+->Theta*++pbar, where Theta*++ is a narrow state
decaying to pK+, is set to be 1.5x10^-7 for 1.43<m(Theta*++)<1.85GeV/c^2 at 90%
confidence level. All results are preliminary.


title: First Observation of a New Narrow D_sJ Meson at 2632MeV/c^2

abstract:
  We report the first observation of a charm-strange meson D_sJ(2632) at a mass
of 2632.5+/-1.7 MeV/c^2 in data from SELEX, the charm hadro-production
experiment E781 at Fermilab. This state is seen in two decay modes, D_s eta and
D^0 K^+. In the D_s eta decay mode we observe a peak with 101 events over a
combinatoric background of 54.9 events at a mass of 2635.4+/-3.3 MeV/c^2. There
is a corresponding peak of 21 events over a background of 6.9 at 2631.5+/-2.0
MeV/c^2 in the decay mode D^0 K^+. The relative branching ratio Gamma(D^0
K^+)/\Gamma(D_s eta) is 0.14+/-0.06. The full version of this paper has been
accepted for publication in PRL (hep-ex/0406045). Here I have reproduced only
the mass difference signal plots for the D_s eta and D^0 K^+ decay modes.


title:
Jets in Photoproduction and in the Transition Region to DIS at the HERA
  Collider

abstract:
  Recent results on jets in photoproduction and in deep-inelastic scattering at
low $Q^2$ by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations are reviewed.


title: Search for rare leptonic B decays at the Tevatron

abstract:
  Results of a search for the Flavor-Changing Neutral Current decay $B^0_{s,d}
\to \mu^+ \mu^-$ using $p\bar{p}$ collision data at $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV
collected at Fermilab Tevatron collider by the CDF and D{\O}detectors are
presented. CDF reports upper limits on ${\cal B} (B^0_{s} \to \mu^+ \mu^-) \leq
7.5 \cdot10^{-7}$ and ${\cal B}(B^0_{d} \to \mu^+ \mu^-) \leq 1.9 \cdot10^{-7}$
at the 95% C.L. using 171 pb$^{-1}$. The D{\O}Collaboration used 240 pb$^{-1}$
to set an even more stringent limit on the branching ratio for $B^0_{s} \to
\mu^+ \mu^-$ of $5.0\cdot 10^{-7}$ at the 95% C.L.


title: CP violation in b->c anti-c d decays at Belle

abstract:
  We report a measurement of the CP violation parameters in b->c anti-c d
decays. Mixing-induced CP violation involving this transition is studied using
a sample of B0->J/psi pi0, D*+D*- and D*+-D-+ decays with a data set
accumulated at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB
energy-asymmetric e+e- collider. CP violation parameters are extracted from a
fit to the distributions of time intervals between two B0 meson decay vertexes.


title: Current Status of the MiniBooNE Experiment

abstract:
  MiniBooNE is an experiment designed to refute or confirm the LSND anti-nu_mu
-> anti-nu_e oscillation result. MiniBooNE will look for oscillations of nu_mu
-> nu_e in a closed-box appearance analysis. MiniBooNE began collecting data in
2002, and is expected to continue data taking through 2005. Current MiniBooNE
results are presented.


title:
Implications of Confirmation of the LSND anti-nu_mu -> anti-nu_e
  Oscillation Signal

abstract:
  Neutrino oscillations have been observed in solar and atmospheric neutrinos,
and in the LSND accelerator experiment. The Standard Model cannot accommodate
all three positive results. The solar and atmospheric results have been
confirmed. An oscillation signal seen by MiniBooNE will validate the
oscillation signal seen by LSND. The question then becomes one of refining the
Standard Model to allow for these three results. Four theories which can
accommodate all three oscillation observations are the existence of sterile
neutrinos, CP violation, the existence of variable mass neutrinos, and small
Lorentz violations. The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), located at Oak Ridge
Laboratories, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, will provide an ideal site to test these
hypotheses. The SNS, due to turn on in 2008, will supply a high intensity
neutrino source of known flux and energy spectrum. This source permits
experiments to probe the high delta-m^2 region for measurements, where a
positive signal from MiniBooNE would lie.


title: QCD at the Tevatron

abstract:
  Recent measurements of selected QCD processes at the Tevatron are reviewed
and confronted with theoretical calculations. Results on inclusive jet
production at large transverse momentum are compared to predictions from
next-to-leading order perturbative QCD. Kinematic distributions of jets with
light and heavy flavor produced in association with electroweak bosons are
compared to expectations from leading-order QCD calculations supplemented with
parton-shower models. Properties of QCD radiation in hard-scatter events are
investigated using azimuthal correlations between two leading jets in multi-jet
events, while aspects of softer radiation are examined through properties of
energy flow within jets. Finally, characteristics of soft interactions
underlying the hard scatter are explored in the context of tuning the
parameters of phenomenological models employed in QCD Monte Carlo event
generators.
