Abstract:

We report the observation of the exclusive decay Bs0→Ds-Ds+ at the 7.5 standard deviation level using 355pb-1 of data collected by the CDF II detector in pp̄ collisions at s=1.96TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron. We measure the relative branching ratio B(Bs0→Ds-Ds+)/B(B0→D-Ds+)=1.44-0.44+0.48. Using the world average value for B(B0→D-Ds+), we find B(Bs0→Ds-Ds+)= (9.4-4.2+4.4)×10-3. This provides a lower bound ΔΓsCP/Γs 2B(Bs0→Ds-Ds+)>1.2×10-2 at 95% C.L. © 2008 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

The LiCAS project has developed a prototype robotic survey system for rapid and highly accurate surveying of long linear accelerator tunnel networks. It is aimed at the International Linear Collider (ILC). This Rapid Tunnel Reference Surveyor (RTRS) is an R&D instrument for evaluating the performance of the RTRS concept and its survey technology. The prototype has been commissioned in a test tunnel at DESY with initial calibrations and measurements ongoing. We will report recent results where they improve over previously reported work.

Abstract:

The production of isolated photons in deep-inelastic scattering ep→eγX is measured with the H1 detector at HERA. The measurement is performed in the kinematic range of negative four-momentum transfer squared 450 GeV. The analysis is based on a total integrated luminosity of 227 pb-1. The production cross section of isolated photons with a transverse energy in the range 3
