Internal spin structure of the proton from high energy polarized e-p scattering
A review is given of our experimental knowledge of the spin dependent structure functions of the proton, which is based on inclusive high energy scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons by longitudinally polarized protons in both the deep inelastic and resonance regions, and includes preliminary results from our most recent SLAC experiment. Implications for scaling, sum rules, models of proton structure, and the hyperfine structure interval in hydrogen are given. Possible future directions of research are indicated.

Trigger System of BESIII
The trigger system of Beijing Spectrometer III, part of the upgrade of Beijing Electron Positron Collider, has been designed and implemented, and is ready for installation. This paper describes briefly the system components, its characteristics, and some technical issues. The system consists mainly of four parts: MDC (drift chamber) tracking subsystem, EMC (electromagnetic calorimeter) subsystem, TOF (time of flight) subsystem and global trigger. Some highlights in designing of this system includes: trigger scheme optimization with software simulation; optical transmission between trigger and FEEs to realize isolation with FEEs to avoid ground loop current interference; designed with most latest FPGA (Xilinx Spartan 3, VirtexII Pro...) for simplicity, high reliability and easy maintenance and hence smaller system; FPGA in-system programming or firmware online downloadable via onboard, panel connector and/or VME bus for modification flexibility during commissioning. Different from the usual fix delay data transmission from FEE to trigger, the RocketIO has been used as SEDES.

The BES upgrade
Abstract The Beijing Spectrometer (BES) detector is a general purpose solenoid detector at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC) in Beijing, China, that has collected large numbers of J/ψ, ψ′, D s , D and τ events. In this paper, we describe the recent upgrade of the initial BES detector (BESI) to the improved BESII detector.

Measurement of the internal spin structure of the proton
Our final results of measurements at SLAC of the spin dependent asymmetry in the deep inelastic scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons by longitudinally polarized protons are presented. Data were obtained at a scattering angle of 10° and for incident energies of 16.2 and 22.7 GeV, which cover the kinematic range 0.18<x<0.70 and 3.5<Q2<10.0 (GeV/c)2. We compare our results with various models of proton spin structure and with the Bjorken and Ellis‐Jaffe sum rules.

Energy spectrum of cosmic protons and helium nuclei by a hybrid measurement at 4300 m a.s.l.
The energy spectrum of cosmic Hydrogen and Helium nuclei has been measured below the so-called "knee" by using a hybrid experiment with a wide field-of-view Cherenkov telescope and the Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) array of the ARGO-YBJ experiment at 4300 m above sea level. The Hydrogen and Helium nuclei have been well separated from other cosmic ray components by using a multi-parameter technique. A highly uniform energy resolution of about 25% is achieved throughout the whole energy range (100–700 TeV). The observed energy spectrum is compatible with a single power law with index γ=−2.63±0.06.

Fostering the adoption of GRID techniques: The case of the astroparticle physics experiment ARGO
The EUChinaGRID project is a FIX-funded initiative within the 6th Framework Programme, aiming at, disseminating advanced knowledge in Grid technologies, interconnecting the European and Chinese e-Infrastructures, and deploying existing and new Grid applications: the astroparticle physics experiment ARGO is One such application. This document will describe the strategy for the adoption of Grid techniques for data-manipulation activities within the ARGO experiment.

Rigidity of SU(2, 2|2)-symmetric solutions in Type IIB
We investigate the existence of half-BPS solutions in Type IIB supergravity which are invariant under the superalgebra SU(2, 2|2) realized on either AdS5 × S2 × S1 or AdS5 × S3 warped over a Riemann surface Σ with boundary. We prove that, in both cases, the only solution is AdS5 × S5 itself. We argue that this result provides evidence for the non-existence of fully back-reacted intersecting D3/D7 branes with either AdS5 × S2 × S1 × Σ or AdS5 × S3 × Σ near-horizon limits.

Highlights from the ARGO-YBJ experiment
— The ARGO-YBJ experiment is a multipurpose detector exploiting the full coverage approach at very high altitude. The apparatus, in stable data taking since November 2007 with an energy threshold of a few hundreds of GeV and a duty-cycle > 85%, is located at the YangBaJing Cosmic Ray Laboratory (Tibet, P.R. China, 4300 m a.s.l., 606 g/cm). A number of interesting results are available in cosmic ray physics and in gamma-ray astronomy after the first 3 years of stable data taking. In this paper gamma-ray astronomy results are summarized.

Test of the hadronic interaction models at around *10 TeV with Tibet EAS core data
A hybrid experiment has been started by ASγ collaboration at Tibet, China, since May 2009, that consists of a burst-detector-grid (YAC, Yangbajing Air shower Core array) and the Tibet air-shower array (Tibet-III). The first step of YAC, called YAC-I, contains 16 detector units and observes high energy electromagnetic particles in air-shower cores within several meters from the shower axis, and Tibet-III array measures the total energy and the arrival direction of air showers. YAC-I is used to check hadronic interaction models currently used for air-shower simulations such as QGSJET, SIBYLL , EPOS etc. through the multi-parameter measurement in air-shower cores. In this paper, we used a data set collected from May 1st 2009 through February 23rd 2010 by the YAC-I. The effective live time used for the present analysis is 169.65 days. The preliminary results of the interaction model checking at *10 TeV energy region is reported in this paper.
