Turbulence for (and by) amateurs
Series of lectures on statistical turbulence written for amateurs but not experts. Elementary aspects and problems of turbulence in two and three dimensional Navier-Stokes equation are introduced. A few properties of scalar turbulence and transport phenomena in turbulent flows are described. Kraichnan's model of passive advection is discussed a bit more precisely. 
{Part 1: Approaching turbulent flows.} Navier-Stokes equation. Cascades and Kolmogorov theory. Modeling statistical turbulence. Correlation functions and scaling. 
{Part 2: Deeper in turbulent flows.} Turbulence in two dimensions. Dissipation and dissipative anomalies. Fokker-Planck equations. Multifractal models. 
{Part 3: Scalar turbulence.} Transport and Lagrangian trajectories. Kraichnan's passive scalar model. Anomalous scalings and universality. 
{Part 4: Lagrangian trajectories.} Richardson's law. Lagrangian flows in Kraichnan's model. Slow modes. Breakdown of Lagrangian flows. Batchelor limit. Generalized Lagrangian flows and trajectory bundles.

Logarithmic Yangians in WZW Models
A new action of the Yangians in the WZW models is displayed. Its structure is generic and level-independent. This Yangian is the natural extension at the conformal point of the one unraveled in massive theories with current algebras. Hopefully, this new symmetry of WZW models will lead to a deeper understanding of the integrable structure of conformal field theories and their deformations.

On Root Multiplicities of Some Hyperbolic Kac–Moody Algebras
Using the coset construction, we compute the root multiplicities at level-3 for some hyperbolic Kac–Moody algebras including the basic hyperbolic extension of A11 and E10.

Anomalous scaling in the N-point functions of a passive scalar.
A recent analysis of the 4-point correlation function of the passive scalar advected by a time-decorrelated random flow is extended to the N-point case. It is shown that all stationary-state inertial-range correlations are dominated by homogeneous zero modes of singular operators describing their evolution. We compute analytically the zero modes governing the N-point structure functions and the anomalous dimensions corresponding to them to the linear order in the scaling exponent of the 2-point function of the advecting velocity field. The implications of these calculations for the dissipation correlations are discussed.

Spin-Charge Separation and the Spin Quantum Hall Effect
We use quantum field theory methods to study the network model for the spin quantum hall transition. When the couplings are fine tuned in a certain way, the spin and charge degrees of freedom, corresponding to the su-percurrent algebras su(2) 0 and osp(2|2) −2 respectively, completely decouple. This simpler theory is exactly solvable and some critical exponents are computed and shown to agree with the recent predictions based on percolation. The general network model is shown to be in a different universality class by identifying the attractive direction of the renormalization group flow.

Search for a dark photon in e(+)e(-) collisions at BABAR.
Dark sectors charged under a new Abelian interaction have recently received much attention in the context of dark matter models. These models introduce a light new mediator, the so-called dark photon (A^{'}), connecting the dark sector to the standard model. We present a search for a dark photon in the reaction e^{+}e^{-}→γA^{'}, A^{'}→e^{+}e^{-}, μ^{+}μ^{-} using 514  fb^{-1} of data collected with the BABAR detector. We observe no statistically significant deviations from the standard model predictions, and we set 90% confidence level upper limits on the mixing strength between the photon and dark photon at the level of 10^{-4}-10^{-3} for dark photon masses in the range 0.02-10.2  GeV. We further constrain the range of the parameter space favored by interpretations of the discrepancy between the calculated and measured anomalous magnetic moment of the muon.

Search for di-muon decays of a low-mass Higgs boson in radiative decays of the Υ(1S)
We search for di-muon decays of a low-mass Higgs boson (A^0) produced in radiative Υ(1S) decays. The Υ(1S) sample is selected by tagging the pion pair in the Υ(2S,3S) → π^+ π^-Υ(1S) transitions, using a data sample of 92.8 × 10^6 Υ(2S) and 116.8 × 10^6 Υ(3S) events collected by the BABAR detector. We find no evidence for A^0 production and set 90% confidence level upper limits on the product branching fraction B(Υ(1S) → γA^0) × B(A^0 → μ^ +μ^-) in the range of (0.28-9.7) × 10^(-6) for 0.212 ≤ m_A^0 ≤ 9.20  GeV/c^2. The results are combined with our previous measurements of Υ(2S,3S) → γA^0, A^0 → μ^+μ^- to set limits on the effective coupling of the b quark to the A^0.

On triple focusing dipole magnets
Abstract We present a general, paraxial study of triple focusing (i.e., stigmatic and non-dispersive) index-free dipole magnets. The transcendental equations which describe such magnets lead to a second-degree polynomial equation which we solve analytically. The two solutions of this equation correspond to magnets having either one or no intermediate focal points in the vertical direction. The first-order optical properties of the physical solutions are studied.
