CEBAF — a high energy, high duty factor electron accelerator for nuclear physics☆
Abstract The Nuclear Science Advisory Committee has recommended the construction of the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) as proposed by the Southeastern Universities Research Association (SURA), a consortium of more than thirty institutions in the southeastern United States. The accelerator will be capable of delivering intense (Iave > 100 μA), quasi-continuous (duty Factor > 90%) beams of electrons with energies up to 4.8 GeV. Short (1.2 μs), intense (Ipk = 200 mA) pulses of electrons will be accelerated by passing twice through a conventional pulsed linac. The pulses then will be injected into and stored in a pulse stretcher ring, the circumference of which is close to the length of the electron pulse. During the period between pulses (1ms) the stored electrons will be extracted to yield a high duty factor beam. Delivery of arbitrarily polarized beams will be possible. Experimental facilities will include three end stations. Two will be used for experiments utilizing the primary electron beam; the third will serve as a tagged photon facility.

Pion-helium scattering above the (3,3) resonance
Differential cross sections are reported for ..pi../sup +/+/sup 3,4/He elastic scattering at 260, 295, and 310 MeV and ..pi../sup -/+/sup 3,4/He at 295 MeV. The angular distributions )except for ..pi../sup -/+/sup 3/He) confirm the fixed angle (thetaapprox. =75/sup 0/) minimum seen at lower energies (caused by the (3,3) ..pi..+N resonance dominance) and show a deep minimum at thetaapprox. =110/sup 0/. Comparisons are made to ..pi..+d and the current discussion of pion excitation of intermediate dibaryon and ..delta..N states.

Computer Modeling of Internal Targets in Electron Storage Rings
The effect of thin (1-50 ¿gm/cm2) internal targets on beam quality in electron storage rings is evaluated. The internal target is modeled assuming that scattering is the result of elastic collisions between the beam electrons and the target nuclei. A screened coulomb potential is used and single and plural scattering mechanisms are included. A storage ring particle tracking code, DIMAT, was modified to include the internal target model and used to obtain the results discussed. Beam particle loss distributions and beam envelope "growth times" are given and discussed in light of damping mechanisms inherent in electron storage ring designs.

Off-shell effects in quasielastic electron nucleus scattering
Using the Ward-Takahashi identity, on-shell condition, bound Dirac equation and off-shell expansion, a reduced version of half off-shell virtual photon nucleon vertex has been suggested. The vertex are decomposed into several different order terms: the on-shell terms, first and second off-shell terms. The off-shell behaviour of the form factors is discussed in the one meson loop model. Using the reduced vertex and parametrized off-shell form factors the quasielastic response functions are calculated for several nuclei at ¦q¦–kf and for56Fe at large ¦q¦ up to 1.14 GeV/c and at −q2=0.9 (GeV/c)2. The Coulomb sums are evaluated and a comparison of the theoretical prediction with data is given. The off-shell electron nucleon cross section is calculated and compared with the “cc1” off-shell extrapolation.

BV Structure of the Cohomology of Nilpotent Subalgebras and the Geometry of(W) Strings
AbstractGiven a simple, simply laced, complex Lie algebra 
$$\mathfrak{g}$$
corresponding to the Lie group G, let 
$$\mathfrak{n}_ + $$
 be thesubalgebra generated by the positive roots. In this Letter we construct aBV algebra 
$${\text{BV}}[\mathfrak{g}]$$
 whose underlying graded commutative algebra is given by the cohomology, with respect to 
$$\mathfrak{n}_ + $$
, of the algebra of regular functions on G with values in 
$$ \wedge (\mathfrak{n}_ + \backslash \mathfrak{g})$$
. We conjecture that 
$${\text{BV}}[\mathfrak{g}]$$
 describes the algebra of allphysical (i.e., BRST invariant) operators of the noncritical 
$$\mathcal{W}[\mathfrak{g}]$$
string. The conjecture is verified in the two explicitly known cases,
$$\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}$$
2 (the Virasoro string) and 
$$\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}$$
3 (the 
$$\mathcal{W}_3 $$
 string).

Large N and the Dine-Rajaraman problem
Abstract We compute the effective action for scattering of three well-separated extremal brane solutions, in 11d supergravity, with zero p − transfer and small transverse velocities. Using an interpretation of the conjecture of Maldacena, following Hyun, this can be viewed as the large N limit of the Matrix theory description of three supergraviton scattering at leading order. The result is consistent with the perturbative supergravity calculation.

Measurement of the charge asymmetry in $B^{\pm}\rightarrow \phi K^{\pm}$ and search for $B^{\pm}\rightarrow \phi \pi^{\pm}$ decays
The \CP-violating charge asymmetry in $B^{\pm}\rightarrow \phi K^{\pm}$ decays is measured in a sample of $pp$ collisions at 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment. The result is $\mathcal{A}_{CP}(B^{\pm}\rightarrow \phi K^{\pm}) = \rm 0.022\pm 0.021 \pm 0.009$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. In addition, a search for the $B^{\pm}\rightarrow \phi \pi^{\pm}$ decay mode is performed, using the $B^{\pm}\rightarrow \phi K^{\pm}$ decay rate for normalization. An upper limit on the branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(B^{\pm}\rightarrow \phi \pi^{\pm})< 1.5\times 10^{-7}$ is set at 90% confidence level.

Test of lepton universality using $B^{+}\rightarrow K^{+}\ell^{+}\ell^{-}$ decays
A measurement of the ratio of the branching fractions of the $B^{+}\rightarrow K^{+}\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ and $B^{+}\rightarrow K^{+}e^{+}e^{-}$ decays is presented using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$, recorded with the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 $\mathrm{\,Te\kern -0.1em V}$. The value of the ratio of branching fractions for the dilepton invariant mass squared range $1<q^{2}<6\mathrm{\,Ge\kern -0.1em V^2\!/}c^4$ is measured to be $0.745^{+0.090}_{-0.074}\mathrm{\,(stat)}\,\pm0.036\mathrm{\,(syst)}$. This value is the most precise measurement of the ratio of branching fractions to date and is compatible with the SM prediction within $2.6$ standard deviations.

Measurement of the lifetime of the $B_c^+$ meson using the $B_c^+\rightarrow J/\psi\pi^+$ decay mode
The difference in total widths between the $B_c^+$ and $B^+$ mesons is measured using 3.0fb$^{-1}$ of data collected by the LHCb experiment in 7 and 8 TeV centre-of-mass energy proton-proton collisions at the LHC. Through the study of the time evolution of $B_c^+ \rightarrow J/\psi \pi^+$ and $B^+\rightarrow J/\psi K^+$ decays, the width difference is measured to be 
$$ \Delta\Gamma \equiv \Gamma_{B_c^+} - \Gamma_{B^+} = 4.46 \pm 0.14 \pm 0.07mm^{-1}c,$$ where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The known lifetime of the $B^+$ meson is used to convert this to a precise measurement of the $B_c^+$ lifetime, 
$$\tau_{B_c^+} = 513.4 \pm 11.0 \pm 5.7fs,$$ where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic.
