The Upper limit of the e+ e- partial width of X(3872)
Abstract The e + e − decay partial width of the recently observed state, X (3872), is estimated using the ISR data collected at s =4.03  GeV in e + e − annihilation experiment by BES at BEPC. It is found that Γ e + e − B π + π − J/ψ  eV at 90% C.L. if the J PC of X (3872) is 1 −− . Together with the potential models and other information, we conclude that X (3872) is very unlikely to be a vector state.

Study of the near-threshold ωϕ mass enhancement in doubly OZI-suppressed J/ψ→γωϕ decays
A 2:25 x 10(8) J/psi event sample accumulated with the BESIII detector is used to study the doubly Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka-suppressed decay modes J/psi -> gamma omega phi, omega -> pi(+)pi(-)pi(0), phi -> K+K-. A strong deviation (> 30 sigma) from three-body J/psi -> gamma omega phi phase space is observed near the omega phi mass threshold that is consistent with a previous observation reported by the BESII experiment. A partial wave analysis with a tensor covariant amplitude that assumes that the enhancement is due to the presence of a resonance, the X(1810), is performed and confirms that the spin-parity of the X(1810) is 0(++). The mass and width of the X(1810) are determined to be M = 1795 +/- 7(stat)(-5)(+13) (syst) +/- 19(mod) MeV/c(2) and Gamma = 95 +/- 10(stat)(-34)(+21)(syst) +/- 75(mod) MeV/c(2), respectively, and the product branching fraction is measured to be B(J/psi -> gamma X(1810)) x B(X(1810) -> omega phi) = (2.00 +/- 0.08(stat)(-1.00)(+0.45)(syst) +/- 1.30(mod)) x 10(-4). These results are consistent within errors with those of the BESII experiment. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.87.032008

Search for T, CP, and CPT violation in B0-B0 mixing with inclusive dilepton events.
We report the results of a search for T, CP, CPT, and violation in B0-B0 mixing using an inclusive dilepton sample collected by the BABAR experiment at the PEP-II factory. Using a sample of 232 x 10(6) BB pairs, we measure the T and CP violation parameter |q/p| - 1 = (-0.8 +/- 2.7(stat) +/- 1.9(syst) x 10(-3), and the CPT and CP parameters Imz = (13.9 +/- 7.3(stat) +/- 3.2(syst)) x 10(-3) and Delta Gamma x Rez = (7.1 +/- 3.9(stat) +/- 2.0(stat)) x 10(-3) ps(-1). The statistical correlation between the measurements of Imz and Delta Gamma x Rez is 76%.

Measurement of $\eta^\prime\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^- e^+e^-$ and $\eta^\prime\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-\mu^+\mu^-$
Based on a sample of 225.3 million J/\psi events accumulated with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII, the decays of \eta' to pi+pi-l+l- are studied via J/\psi to \gamma\eta'. A clear \eta' signal is observed in the pi+pi-e+e- mass spectrum, and the branching fraction is measured to be \BR(\eta' to pi+pi-e+e-) = (2.11\pm0.12 (stat.)\pm0.15 (syst.))\times10^{-3}, which is in good agreement with theoretical predictions and the previous measurement, but is determined with much higher precision. No \eta' signal is found in the pi+ pi- mu+ mu- mass spectrum, and the upper limit is determined to be \BR(\eta' to pi+ pi- mu+ mu-)<2.9\times10^{-5} at the 90% confidence level.

Strange hadronic matter in the FST model
The strange hadronic matter with nucleon, Λ-hyperon and Ⅺ-hyperon is studied by using the FST model in a mean-field approximation. The saturation properties and stabilities of the strange hadronic matter are discussed.

Coulomb gauge model for hidden charm tetraquarks
Abstract The spectrum of tetraquark states with hidden charm is studied within an effective Coulomb gauge Hamiltonian approach. Of the four independent color schemes, two are investigated, the ( q c ¯ ) 1 ( c q ¯ ) 1 singlet–singlet (molecule) and the ( q c ) 3 ( q ¯ c ¯ ) 3 triplet–triplet (diquark), for selected J PC states using a variational method. The predicted masses of triplet–triplet tetraquarks are roughly a GeV heavier than the singlet–singlet states. There is also an interesting flavor dependence with ( q q ¯ ) 1 ( c c ¯ 1 ) states about half a GeV lighter than ( q c ¯ ) 1 ( q ¯ c ) 1 . The lightest 1 + + and 1 − − predictions are in agreement with the observed X ( 3872 ) and Y ( 4008 ) masses suggesting they are molecules with ω J / ψ and η h c , rather than D ⁎ D ¯ ⁎ and D D ¯ , type structure, respectively. Similarly, the lightest isovector 1 + + molecule, having a ρ J / ψ flavor composition, has mass near the recently observed charged Z c ( 3900 ) value. These flavor configurations are consistent with observed X , Y and Z c decays to π π J / ψ .

Estimate for GLAST LAT Milky Way Dark Matter WIMP Line Sensitivity
The LAT Dark Matter and New Physics Working group has been developing approaches for the indirect astrophysical detection of annihilation of dark matter. Our work has assumed that a significant component of dark matter is a new type of Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP). The annihilation of two WIMPs usually results in the production of many high energy gamma rays (>1 GeV) that can be well measured in the GLAST LAT if present. There is also the possibility to observe γ lines from annihilation into γγ and or γZ final states. In popular SUSY theories these line decays occur at the 10−4 to 10−2 branching fraction level. Estimates of LAT sensitivity (at 5σ above background) and upper limits (upper limit at the 95% confidence level) to these WIMP lines will be presented. These sensitivities are given in photons/cm2/sec/sr and so do not depend on the WIMP models. However, they do depend on the diffuse background model. The latter is derived from GALPROP based on EGRET and other data in the EGRET energy ...

Wavelets and WMAP non-Gaussianity
We study the statistical properties of the first-year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) data on different scales using the spherical Mexican hat wavelet transform. Consistent with the 2004 results of Vielva et al., we find a deviation from Gaussianity in the form of kurtosis of wavelet coefficients on 3-4 scales in the southern Galactic hemisphere. This paper extends the work of Vielva et al. as follows: We find that the non-Gaussian signal shows up more strongly in the form of a larger than expected number of cold pixels and also in the form of scale-scale correlations among wavelet coefficients. We establish the robustness of the non-Gaussian signal under more wide-ranging assumptions regarding the Galactic mask applied to the data and the noise statistics. This signal is unlikely to be due to the usual quadratic term parameterized by the nonlinearity parameter fNL. We use the skewness of the spherical Mexican hat wavelet coefficients to constrain fNL with the first-year WMAP data. Our results constrain fNL to be 50+/-80 at 68% confidence and less than 280 at 99% confidence.

Fermi-LAT Study of Gamma-ray Emission in the Direction of Supernova Remnant W49B
We present an analysis of the gamma-ray data obtained with the Large Area Telescope (LAT) onboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope in the direction of SNR W49B (G43.3-0.2). A bright unresolved gamma-ray source detected at a significance of 38 sigma is found to coincide with SNR W49B. The energy spectrum in the 0.2-200 GeV range gradually steepens toward high energies. The luminosity is estimated to be 1.5x10^{36} (D/8 kpc)^2 erg s^-1 in this energy range. There is no indication that the gamma-ray emission comes from a pulsar. Assuming that the SNR shell is the site of gamma-ray production, the observed spectrum can be explained either by the decay of neutral pi mesons produced through the proton-proton collisions or by electron bremsstrahlung. The calculated energy density of relativistic particles responsible for the LAT flux is estimated to be remarkably large, U_{e,p}>10^4 eV cm^-3, for either gamma-ray production mechanism.
