A study of recoil protons in ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions
Abstract An investigation of the energy dependence of grey prong producing particles in 16 O+ emulsion interactions at energies from 2.1 to 200 A GeV is reported. Many of the features of these particles, known from hadron-induced interactions, are shown to be of importance also in heavy-ion interactions, i.e. multiplicity and angular distributions as well as the impact parameter dependence are energy independent. Furthermore the angular distribution seems to be independent of the projectile and target masses as well as centrality of the interactions. Both the Fritiof and Ranft models fail to reproduce this general angular shape.

Measurement of the DAΦNE luminosity with the KLOE detector using large angle Bhabha scattering
We describe the method of measuring the integrated luminosity of the e+e- collider DAΦNE, the Frascati φ-factory. The measurement is done with the KLOE detector selecting large angle Bhabha scattering events and normalizing them to the effective cross section. The e+e-→e+e-(γ) cross section is calculated using different event generators which account for the $\mathcal{O}(\alpha)$ radiative initial and final state corrections, and the φ resonance contribution. The accuracy of the measurement is 0.6%, where 0.3% comes from systematic errors related to the event counting and 0.5% from theoretical evaluations of the cross section.

Search for New Phenomena with the Monojet and Missing Transverse Momentum Signature Using the ATLAS Detector in $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV Proton-Proton Collisions
A search for new phenomena in events featuring a high energy jet and large missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV is presented using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 33 pb(-1) recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The number of observed events is consistent with the Standard Model prediction. This result is interpreted in terms of limits on a model of Large Extra Dimensions. (C) 2011 CERN.

Simultaneous multiplicity and forward energy characterization of particle spectra in Au + Au collisions at 11.6-A-GeV/c
In this paper Au+Au collisions at 11.6A GeV/c are characterized by two global observables: the energy measured near zero degrees (E{sub ZCAL}) and the total event multiplicity. Particle spectra are measured for different event classes that are defined in a two-dimensional grid of both global observables. For moderately central events ({sigma}/{sigma}{sub int}{lt}12{percent}) the proton dN/dy distributions do not depend on E{sub ZCAL} but only on the event multiplicity. In contrast the shape of the proton transverse spectra shows little dependence on the event multiplicity. The change in the proton dN/dy distributions suggests that different conditions are formed in the collision for different event classes. These event classes are studied for signals of new physics by measuring pion and kaon spectra and yields. In the event classes doubly selected on E{sub ZCAL} and multiplicity there is no indication of any unusual pion or kaon yields, spectra, or K/{pi} ratio even in the events with extreme multiplicity. {copyright} {ital 1999} {ital The American Physical Society}

A uniform geometry description for simulation, reconstruction and visualization in the BESIII experiment
In the BESIII experiment, the simulation, reconstruction and visualization were designed to use the same geometry description in order to ensure the consistency of the geometry for different applications. Geometry Description Markup Language (GDML), an application-independent persistent format for describing the geometries of detectors, was chosen and met our requirement. The detector of BESIII was described with GDML and then used in Geant4-based simulation and ROOT-based reconstruction and visualization.

An overview of design for CSNS/RCS and beam transport
The China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) is the first accelerator-based pulsed neutron source in China. Its accelerators are made up of an 80 MeV H− linac, a Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) and two beam transport lines. RCS accumulates and accelerates protons to the design energy of 1.6 GeV, and extracts high energy beam to strike the target. The overview of RCS is presented, and the key problems of the physics design are discussed. The two beam transport lines, from linac to RCS and from RCS to the target, are also introduced.

ILC 3.2 km damping ring design based on the FODO cell
We report on a new design for an ILC 3.2 km damping ring, with 2 arcs based on the FODO cell and 2 straight sections that are nearly the same as the newest version of the 6.4 km ring DCO4. This new lattice requires fewer magnets and a lower RF voltage, and has a better dynamic aperture than DCO4 while maintaining flexibility in regard to the momentum compaction factor. So far, this design is the only one satisfying all the requirements for a 3.2 km ring. The work on the lattice design and the dynamic aperture study is presented in detail.
