The PEP-II B Factory at SLAC has been in operation with the BABAR detector since the summer of 1999. The peak currents and luminosity steadily increased through the end of the 2000 run on October 31. By that time, 0.75 A of electrons (the…
The ATLAS and CMS experiments have collected data at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) since December 2009, and with a collision energy \sprts=7 TeV since March 2010. Both detectors work remarkably well at this early stage of operation,…
We present searches for dijet and ttbar mass resonances using between 0.68 and 2.1 fb-1 of Tevatron Run II data collected by the CDF and D0 detectors. No evidence of new physics is found, and 95% C.L. limits are set on a number of new…
