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.

Form factors, KdV and deformed hyperelliptic curves
Abstract We review and summarize recent works on the relation between form factors in integrable quantum field theory and deformation of geometrical data associated to hyper-elliptic curves. This relation, which is based on a deformation of the Riemann bilinear identity, in particular leads to the notion of null vectors in integrable field theory and to a new description of the KdV hierarchy.

Fock representations and BRST cohomology inSL(2) current algebra
We investigate the structure of the Fock modules overA1(1) introduced by Wakimoto. We show that irreducible highest weight modules arise as degree zero cohomology groups in a BRST-like complex of Fock modules. Chiral primary fields are constructed as BRST invariant operators acting on Fock modules. As a result, we obtain a free field representation of correlation functions of theSU(2) WZW model on the plane and on the torus. We also consider representations of fractional level arising in Polyakov's 2D quantum gravity. Finally, we give a geometrical, Borel-Weil-like interpretation of the Wakimoto construction.

On the Wess-Zumino-Witten models on the torus☆
Abstract We discuss the Ward identities of the Wess-Zumino-Witten models on Riemann surfaces and point out some ambiguities in the description of the zero modes of the currents. In the case of the torus, we show how to describe them and we write the Ward identities in such a way that they become complete. We examine in detail how the Ward identities are related to the Kubo-Martin-Schwinger condition. As an illustration of this formulation, we present a new proof of the Weyl-Kac character formula. The proof essentially relies on the mixed Virasoro × Kac-Moody Ward identities and explains the relation of the heat equation on the group manifold to the Weyl-Kac character formula.

CFTs of SLEs: the radial case
Abstract We present a relation between conformal field theories (CFT) and radial stochastic Schramm–Loewner evolutions (SLE) similar to that we previously developed for the chordal SLEs. We construct an important local martingale using degenerate representations of the Virasoro algebra. We sketch how to compute derivative exponants and the restriction martingales in this framework. In its CFT formulation, the SLE dual Fokker–Planck operator acts as the two-particle Calogero Hamiltonian on boundary primary fields and as the dilatation operator on bulk primary fields localized at the fixed point of the SLE map.
