Measurements of direct CP asymmetries in B → Xsγ decays using sum of exclusive decays
We measure the direct CP violation asymmetry, A_(CP), in B→X_sγ and the isospin difference of the asymmetry, ΔA_(CP), using 429  fb^(−1) of data collected at Υ(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e^+e^− storage rings operating at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. B mesons are reconstructed from ten charged B final states and six neutral B final states. We find A_(CP)=+(1.7±1.9±1.0)%, which is in agreement with the Standard Model prediction and provides an improvement on the world average. Moreover, we report the first measurement of the difference between A_(CP) for charged and neutral decay modes, ΔA_(CP)=+(5.0±3.9±1.5)%. Using the value of ΔA_(CP), we also provide 68% and 90% confidence intervals on the imaginary part of the ratio of the Wilson coefficients corresponding to the chromomagnetic dipole and the electromagnetic dipole transitions.

Operation of the Cherenkov detector DIRC of BABAR at high luminosity
The DIRC (acronym for Detection of Internally Reflected Cherenkov (light)) is the ring imaging Cherenkov detector of the BABAR detector at the PEP-II ring of SLAC. It provides the identification of pions, kaons and protons for momenta up to 4 GeV/c with high efficiency. This is needed to reconstruct CP-violating B-decay final states and to provide B-meson flavour tagging for time dependent asymmetry measurements. The DIRC radiators consists of long rectangular bars made of synthetic fused silica and the photon detector is a water tank equipped with an array of 10.752 conventional photomultipliers. At the end of the year 2000 BABAR has recorded about 22 million B~B pairs reaching the design luminosity of L=3/spl middot/10/sup 33//cm/sup 2/s. The ability to keep the beam background level low at highest collision rates and the long term reliability of the DIRC components during continuous data taking are requirements of BABAR to accomplish its physics program.

Strong–weak coupling duality in anisotropic current interactions
Abstract The recently proposed all orders β function for current interactions in two dimensions is further investigated. By using a strong–weak coupling duality of the β function, and some added topology of the space of couplings we are able to extend the flows to arbitrarily large or small scales. Using a nontrivial RG invariant we are able to identify sine-Gordon, sinh-Gordon and Kosterlitz–Thouless phases. We also find an additional phase with cyclic or roaming RG trajectories.

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.

Hidden Yangians in 2D massive current algebras
We define non-local conserved currents in massive current algebras in two dimensions. Our approach is algebraic and non-perturbative. The non-local currents give a quantum field realization of the Yangians. We show how the noncocommutativity of the Yangians is related to the non-locality of the currents. We discuss the implications of the existence of non-local conserved charges on theS-matrices.

On the random vector potential model in two dimensions
Abstract The random vector potential model describes massless fermions coupled to a quenched random gauge field. We study its abelian and non-abelian versions. The abelian version can be completely solved using bosonization. We analyse the non-abelian model using its supersymmetric formulation and show, by a perturbative renormalization group computation, that it is asymptotically free at large distances. We also show that all the quenched chiral current correlation functions can be computed exactly, without using the replica trick or the supersymmetric formulation, but using an exact expression for the effective action for any sample of the random gauge field. These chiral correlation functions are purely algebraic.

The sine-Gordon solitons as an N-body problem
Abstract We consider the N -soliton solutions in the sine-Gordon model as an N -body problem. This leads to a relativistic generalization of the Calogero model first introduced by Ruijsenaars. We show that the fundamental Poisson bracket of the Lax matrix is quadratic, and the r -matrix is a dynamical one. This is in contrast to the Calogero model where the fundamental Poisson bracket of the Lax matrix is linear.
