We have obtained measurements of the total cross section for e+e- annihilation into hadronic final states for 6 energy points (2.6, 3.2, 2.4, 3.55, 4.6, and 5.0 GeV) with the upgraded Beijing Spectrometer (BESII). We report preliminary…
High-energy gamma rays are a valuable tool for studying particle acceleration and radiation in the magnetospheres of energetic pulsars. The six or more pulsars seen by CGRO/EGRET show that: the light curves usually have double-peak…
The energy spectrum of an electron confined to an arbitrary surface of revolution in an external magnetic field, parallel to the symmetry axis, is studied analitycally and numerically. The problem is reduced via conformal mapping to one on…
