CHIRAL SYMMETRY IN ATOMIC NUCLEI
The significant progresses of the chirality in atomic nuclei are briefly reviewed for both experimental and theoretical sides. Chiral doublet bands beyond one-particle and one-hole coupled with a triaxial rotor as well as the possibilities of new phenomenon MχD are discussed.

Signature splitting in 173W with triaxial particle rotor model
A particle rotor model with a quasi-neutron coupled with a triaxially deformed rotor is applied to study signature splitting for bands with intruder orbital ν7/2+[633] and nonintruder orbital ν5/2-[512] in 173W. Excellent agreement with the observed energy spectra has been achieved for both bands. Signature splitting for band ν7/2+[633], and band ν5/2-[512] before the onset of signature inversion, is satisfactorily reproduced by introducing the γ degree of freedom. The phase and amplitude of signature splitting in band ν5/2-[512] are attributed to strong competition between 2f7/2 and 1h9/2 components. However, the self-consistent explanation of signature inversion in band ν5/2-[512] is beyond the present one quasi-neutron coupled with a triaxially deformed rotor.

Chirality in odd-A nucleus 135Nd in particle rotor model
Abstract A particle rotor model is developed which couples several valence protons and neutrons to a rigid triaxial rotor core. It is applied to investigating the chirality in odd- A nucleus 135 Nd with π h 11 / 2 2 ⊗ ν h 11 / 2 − 1 configuration for the first time in a fully quantal approach. For the two chiral sister bands, the observed energies and the B ( M 1 ) and B ( E 2 ) values for the in-band as well as interband transitions are reproduced excellently. Root mean square values of the angular momentum components and their probability distributions are used for discussing in detail the chiral geometry of the aplanar rotation and its evolution with angular momentum. Chirality is found to change from a soft chiral vibration to nearly static chirality at spin I = 39 / 2 and back to another type of chiral vibration at higher spin.

Candidate chiral doublet bands in the odd-odd nucleus Cs 126
The candidate chiral doublet bands recently observed in $^{126}$Cs have been extended to higher spins, several new linking transitions between the two partner members of the chiral doublet bands are observed, and $\gamma$$-$intensities related to the chiral doublet bands are presented by analyzing the $\gamma$$-$$\gamma$ coincidence data collected earlier at the NORDBALL through the $^{116}$Cd$($$^{14}$N, 4n$)$$^{126}$Cs reaction at a beam energy of 65 MeV. The intraband $B(M1)/B(E2)$ and interband $B(M1)_{in}/B(M1)_{out}$ ratios and the energy staggering parameter, S(I), have been deduced for these doublet bands. The results are found to be consistent with the chiral interpretation for the two structures. Furthermore, the observation of chiral doublet bands in $^{126}$Cs together with those in $^{124}$Cs, $^{128}$Cs, $^{130}$Cs and $^{132}$Cs also indicates that the chiral conditions do not change rapidly with decreasing neutron number in these odd-odd Cesium isotopes.

Direct photon cross section with conversions at CDF
We present a measurement of the isolated direct photon cross section in pp collisions at {radical}(s)=1.8 TeV and |{eta}|<0.9 using data collected between 1994 and 1995 by the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF). The measurement is based on events where the photon converts into an electron-positron pair in the material of the inner detector, resulting in a two track event signature. To remove {pi}{sup 0}{yields}{gamma}{gamma} and {eta}{yields}{gamma}{gamma} events from the data we use a new background subtraction technique which takes advantage of the tracking information available in a photon conversion event. We find that the shape of the cross section as a function of photon p{sub T} is poorly described by next-to-leading-order QCD predictions, but agrees with previous CDF measurements.

Search for resonant top-antitop production in the lepton plus jets decay mode using the full CDF data set.
This Letter reports a search for a narrow resonant state decaying into two W bosons and two b quarks where one W boson decays leptonically and the other decays into a quark-antiquark pair. The search is particularly sensitive to top-antitop resonant production. We use the full data sample of proton-antiproton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV collected by the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9.45 fb(-1). No evidence for resonant production is found, and upper limits on the production cross section times branching ratio for a narrow resonant state are extracted. Within a specific benchmark model, we exclude a Z' boson with mass, M(Z'), below 915 GeV/c(2) decaying into a top-antitop pair at the 95% credibility level assuming a Z' boson decay width of Γ(Z') = 0.012 M(Z'). This is the most sensitive search for a narrow qq-initiated tt resonance in the mass region below 750 GeV/c(2).

The BES detector
Abstract The Beijing Spectrometer (BES) is a general purpose solenoidal detector at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC). It is designed to study exclusive final states in e + e − annihilations at the center of mass energy from 3.0 to 5.6 GeV. This requires large solid angle coverage combined with good charged particle momentum resolution, good particle identification and high photon detection efficiency at low energies. In this paper we describe the construction and the performance of BES detector.

Observation of $\eta_{c}$ decay into $\Sigma^{+}\bar{\Sigma}^{-}$ and $\Xi^{-}\bar{\Xi}^{+}$ final states
Using a data sample of $2.25\times10^{8}$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we present the first observation of the decays of $\eta_{c}$ mesons to $\Sigma^{+}\bar{\Sigma}^{-}$ and $\Xi^{-}\bar{\Xi}^{+}$. The branching fractions are measured to be $(2.11\pm0.28_{\rm stat.}\pm0.18_{\rm syst.}\pm0.50_{\rm PDG})\times10^{-3}$ and $(0.89\pm0.16_{\rm stat.}\pm0.08_{\rm syst.}\pm0.21_{\rm PDG})\times10^{-3}$ for $\eta_{c} \to \Sigma^{+}\bar{\Sigma}^{-}$ and $\Xi^{-}\bar{\Xi}^{+}$, respectively. These branching fractions provide important information on the helicity selection rule in charmonium-decay processes.
