Measurement of the absolute branching ratios for semileptonic K+- decays with the KLOE detector.
Using a sample of over 600 million → K+K− decays collected at the DAΦNE e+e− collider, we have measured with the KLOE detector the absolute branching ratios for the charged kaon semileptonic decays, K± → π0e±ν(γ) and K± → π0μ±ν(γ). The results, BR(Ke3) = 0.04965±0.00038stat±0.00037syst and BR(Kμ3) = 0.03233±0.00029stat±0.00026syst, are inclusive of radiation. Accounting for correlations, we derive the ratio Γ(Kμ3)/Γ(Ke3) = 0.6511±0.0064. Using the semileptonic form factors measured in the same experiment, we obtain |Vus f+(0)| = 0.2141 ±0.0013$.

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.

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%.

Single beam phenomena in BEPC
Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC) is operated as a colliding beam facility as well as a synchrotron radiation source. The maximum single bunch beam currents of 85 mA and the maximum multibunch beam currents of 150 mA are reached which are stronger than the designed goal. In this paper the dependence of BEPC single beam phenomena on the beam current and the single beam instabilities are described; the beam current limitations are discussed and the single beam phenomena are analysed.<<ETX>>

Mass Differences within Isotopic Multiplets in a SUSY Electro-weak Theory
Based on the idea that electromagnetism is responsible for the mass differences within isotopic multiplets, and possibly also for the whole mass of the electron, a supersymmetric gauge theoretical model based on the group $SU(2)_{L} \times SU(2)_{R} \times U(1)_{Y}$ is constructed. Under some reasonable assumptions to the SUSY particle spectrum, a correct sign for the mass difference within an isotopic multiplet is obtained. This might provide a possible scenario to understand the old puzzle of the proton-neutron mass difference.

Study of solar neutrinos with the 600 t liquid argon ICARUS detector
Abstract The ICARUS time projection chamber can yield sound information on 8 B solar neutrinos. Owing to the high-energy resolution and the good capability of event reconstruction it can make a contribution to our understanding of neutrino intensities and their energy spectrum. Moreover, the MSW oscillation probability for sterile and active neutrinos can be well studied because both elastic scattering by electrons and absorption reaction on argon nuclei can be measured independently. The main problem in detecting the low-energy neutrino interactions arises from the environmental radioactivity. In the present work we study by Monte Carlo simulation the topology and the rates of the events, induced by neutrinos and background neutrons, in a 470 t (fiducial mass) liquid-argon TPC detector. For neutrino interactions we use the standard solar model BP98 and the recent experimental confirmation of the shell model computation of absorption cross section. The noise is estimated from new data on natural neutron background, collected in the hall C of the Gran Sasso laboratory. It is confirmed that, with a relatively modest neutron shielding and particular off-line event triggers, the weight of spurious events can be made to have little influence on the ICARUS solar neutrino measurement. Indeed, we expect 6 (26) background events per year in the 212 (759) elastic scattering (absorption reaction) sample.

General conditions for self-cancellation of geometric aberrations in a lattice structure
In this paper we will discuss the general conditions for self-cancellation of geometric aberrations in an uncoupled or even coupled lattice structure. The self-cancellation conditions show that - I transformer even noninterleaved multipoles is not necessary. We will also give two examples for sextupole case to specify the application.
