From form factors to correlation functions. The Ising model
Abstract Using exact expressions for the Ising form factors, we give a new very simple proof that the spin-spin and disorder-disorder correlation functions are governed by the Painleve III nonlinear differential equation. We also snow that the generating function of the correlation functions of the descendents of the spin and disorder operators is an N -soliton, N → ∞, τ-funtion of the sinh-Gordon hierarchy. We discuss a relation of our approach to isomonodromy deformation problems, as well as further possible generalizations.

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.

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.

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.

Particle identification using the DIRC in BaBar
Abstract The Ba B ar DIRC runs extremely well at design luminosities, providing excellent PID in both ring and veto modes. Machine backgrounds expected as PEP-II goes to much higher luminosities (10 34 cm 2 ·s −1 or more) in the next 5 years will require faster data acquisition electronics and further shielding of the SOB from low energy machine produced gamma rays.

Measurement of the time dependence of B0 - anti-B0 oscillations using inclusive dilepton events
A preliminary study of time dependence of B^0-anti-B^0 oscillations using dilepton events is presented. The flavor of the B meson is determined by the charge sign of the lepton. To separate signal leptons from cascade and fake leptons we have used a method which combines several discriminating variables in a neural network. The time evolution of the oscillations is studied by reconstructing the time difference between the decays of the B mesons produced by the Y(4S) decay. With an integrated luminosity of 7.7 fb-1 collected on resonance by BABAR at the PEP-II asymmetric B Factory, we measure the difference in mass of the neutral B eigenstates, Delta_mB0, to be (0.507+/-0.015+/-0.022) x 10^{12} hbar-s^{-1}.

The laser wakefield acceleration experiment at Ecole Polytechnique
Abstract A laser wakefield electron acceleration experiment has been set-up at Ecole Polytechnique. An electron beam with 3 MeV total energy is injected in a plasma wave generated by laser wakefield using the new LULI CPA laser (400 fs [FWHM], I 17  W/cm 2 ). The first results show an effective acceleration of the order of 1 MeV, with a maximum when the electron density is close to the optimum value for which the laser pulse length is about half the plasma wavelength.

Measurement of the $B^\pm \to \rho^\pm \pi^0$ branching fraction and direct CP asymmetry
An improved measurement of the process B+- --> rho+- pi0 is presented. The data sample of 211/fb comprises 232 million Y(4S) --> BBbar decays collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. The yield and CP asymmetry are calculated using an extended maximum likelihood fitting method. The branching fraction and asymmetry are found to be BR(B+- --> rho+- pi0) = [10.0 +- 1.4 (stat) +- 0.9 (syst)]x 10^-6 and Acp(B+- --> rho+- pi0) = -0.01 +- 0.13 (stat) +- 0.02 (syst), superseding previous measurements. The statistical significance of the branching fraction is calculated to be 8.7sigma.
