With construction halfway complete, IceCube is already the most sensitive neutrino telescope ever built. A rearrangement of the final holes of IceCube with increased spacing has been discussed recently to optimize the high energy…
We measure the cross section for e^+e^- -> \psi(3770) -> hadrons at Ecm=3773 MeV to be (6.38+-0.08^{+0.41}_{-0.30}) nb using the CLEO detector at the CESR e^+e^- collider. The difference between this and the e^+e^- -> \psi(3770) -> DD-bar…
Using data collected with the CLEO-III detector at the CESR e+e- collider, we report on a first observation of the decay of the Upsilon(3S) to tau tau, and precisely measure the ratio of branching fractions of Upsilon(nS),n=1,2,3 to tau tau…
Using data taken with the CLEO III detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we have investigated the direct photon spectrum in the decays Upsilon(1S) -> gggamma, Upsilon(2S) -> gggamma, Upsilon}(3S) -> gggamma. The latter two of these…
We report on a study of exclusive radiative decays of the Upsilon(1S) resonance into the final states gamma pi^0 pi^0, gamma eta eta and gamma pi^0 eta, using 1.13 inverse femto-barn of e^+ e^- annihilation data collected at sqrt(s)= 9.46…
Using 13.5 fb^{-1} of e^+e^- annihilation data collected with the CLEO-II detector, we have observed a new narrow resonance in the D_s^*\pi^0 final state, with a mass near 2.46 GeV/c^2. The search for such a state was motivated by the…
We report evidence for the ground state of bottomonium, eta_b(1S), in the radiative decay Upsilon(3S) --> gamma eta_b in e^+e^- annihilation data taken with the CLEO III detector. Using 6 million Upsilon(3S) decays, and assuming…
Using the entire CLEO-c \psi(3770)-> D\bar{D} event sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $818 pb^-1 and approximately 5.4 million D\bar{D} events, we present a study of the decays D^0 -> \pi^- e^+ \nu_e, D^0 -> K^- e^+…
Using the CLEO III detector, we measure absolute cross sections for e+e- --> hadrons at seven center-of-mass energies between 6.964 and 10.538 GeV. The values of R, the ratio of hadronic and muon pair production cross sections, are…
The new EAS Cherenkov array Tunka-133 with about 1 km**2 geometric acceptance area is installed in the Tunka Valley (50 km from Lake Baikal). The array willpermit a detailed study of cosmic ray energy spectrum and mass composition in the…
We present limits on ultra-high energy (UHE; E(nu)>1 PeV) neutrino fluxes from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), based on recently presented data, limits, and simulations from the RICE experiment. We use data from five recorded transients with…
In 60 pb-1 of data taken on the psi(3770) resonance with the CLEO-c detector, we find 8 D+ to mu+ nu event candidates that are mostly signal, containing only 1 estimated background. Using this statistically compelling sample, we measure…
We present a detailed report on the experimental details of the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) long duration balloon payload, including the design philosophy and realization, physics simulations, performance of the instrument…
We report initial results of the first flight of the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA-1) 2006-2007 Long Duration Balloon flight, which searched for evidence of a diffuse flux of cosmic neutrinos above energies of 3 EeV. ANITA-1…
Radiowave detection of the Cherenkov radiation produced by neutrino-ice collisions requires an understanding of the radiofrequency (RF) response of cold polar ice. We herein report on a series of radioglaciological measurements performed…
We present the mini-proceedings of the workshop on ``Parton fragmentation in the vacuum and in the medium'' held at the European Centre for Theoretical Studies in Nuclear Physics and Related Areas (ECT*, Trento) in February 2008. The…
RICE is designed to detect ultrahigh energy (>100 TeV) neutrinos from astrophysical sources. It will consist of an array of compact radio (100 to 1000 MHz) receivers buried in ice at the South Pole. During the 1995-96 and 1996-97 austral…
