Calibration and performances of the KLOE calorimeter
Abstract The KLOE experiment uses a fine sampling lead-scintillating fibre calorimeter to measure energy, time and position of neutral and charged particles. The overall detector consists of 88 modules organised in a barrel and two end-caps, for a total granularity of 2440 cells, read-out by photo-multipliers at both fibre ends. The chosen design of a high sampling fraction with the usage of thin lead layers and fast scintillating fibres allows to reach good efficiency for photon energies down to few MeV, good energy resolution and excellent time resolution. The design, calibration and performances of the calorimeter on efficiency, time/position/energy resolution and particle identification is reviewed. The overall calorimeter impact on kaon tagging and on physics results is also presented.

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.

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.

Experiment to measure the electron cloud at BEPC
Many experiments on photoelectron instability (PEI) have been carried out at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC) in IHEP, China, in collaboration with KEK. Simulations on the PEI with a physical model give qualitative agreements with the observations at both BEPC and KEK-B. Based on the detectors at Advanced Photon Source (APS), ANL, a specially-constructed detector was installed at the BEPC. It is hoped to obtain realistic values for the photoelectron (PE) and secondary electron yields as well as the energy spectrum of the electron cloud through the direct measurements of the properties of the PE cloud for both stable and unstable beams. In this paper, the experimental results at the BEPC are presented after the description of the instrumentation, and some discussions are followed afterwards.

DESIGN STUDIES ON 100MeV / 100kW ELECTRON LINAC FOR NSC KIPT NEUTRON SOURCE ON THE BASE OF SUBCRITICAL ASSEMBLY DRIVEN BY LINAC
In NSC KIPT, Kharkov, Ukraine a neutron source based on a subcritical assembly and driven by a 100 MeV/100kW electron linac is under design and development. Design and construction of such a linac with high average beam current, low emittance and low beam losses are challenging tasks. In this paper the linac physical design with beam simulation results are described, the accelerating structures and some key technical solutions are presented.

Tests of MVD prototype pad detector with a β- source
Abstract The MVD group has been testing two versions of silicon pad detectors. One design uses a single metal layer for readout trace routing. The second type uses two layers of metal, allowing for greatly simplified signal routing. However, because the readout traces for the pads pass over the other pads in the same column (separated by an oxide layer), the double-metal design introduces crosstalk into the system. A simple test stand using a 90 Sr β − source with scintillator triggers was made to estimate the crosstalk. The crosstalk between pads in the same column of the pad detector was 1.6–3.1%. The values measured between pads in different columns were very close to zero. The measured crosstalk was below our maximum allowed value of 7.8%.

ICARUS 600 ton: A status report
The goal of the ICARUS Project is the installation of a multi-kiloton LAr TPC in the underground Gran Sasso Laboratory. The programme foresees the realization of the detector in a modular way. The first step is the construction of a 600 ton module which is now at an advanced phase. It will be mounted and tested in Pavia in one year and then it will be moved to Gran Sasso for the final operation. The major cryogenic and purification systems and the mechanical components of the detector have been constructed and tested in a 10 m3 prototype. The results of these tests are here summarized.

Studies of the vector meson mass generation scheme by chiral anomalies in two-dimensional nonAbelian gauge theories
Higher order effects of the two-dimensional non-Abelian gauge theories, in which the vector-meson mass is generated by chiral anomalies, will be studied. The $\beta$ function and the topological nature of the non-linear $\sigma$ model in the action and unitarity of the theory will be discussed.
