We present new observations of the transiting system TrES-3 obtained from 2009 to 2011 at several observatories. The orbital parameters of the system were re- determined and a new linear ephemeris was calculated. The best quality light…
Using a sample of 225.3 million $\jpsi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII $e^+e^-$ collider in 2009, searches for the decays of $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime\to\pi^+ e^- \bar{\nu}_e +c.c.$ in $\jpsi \to \phi \eta$ and…
Located at the BEPCII $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider, the BESIII experiment provides a robust platform for investigating (anti)hyperon-nucleon ($YN$) and antineutron-nucleon ($\bar{n}N$) interactions. This is made possible by the high production…
The QCD phase diagram lies at the heart of what the RHIC Physics Program is all about. While RHIC has been operating very successfully at or close to its maximum energy for almost a decade, it has become clear that this collider can also be…
As the main tracking detector of BESIII, the drift chamber works for accurate measurements of the tracking and the momentum of the charged particles decayed from the reaction of BEPCII e+ and e-. After operation six years, the drift chamber…
Based on $(3.79\pm0.31)\times10^6 ~\psi'$ data sets collected with the BES detector at BEPC, the recent $\psi'$, $\chi_{cJ}$ and $\eta_c$ results from BES are presented. Some results are compared with NRQCD.
A new pixel detector for the CMS experiment is being built, owing to the instantaneous luminosities anticipated for the Phase I Upgrade of the LHC. The new CMS pixel detector provides four-hit tracking while featuring a significantly…
Using $10.1\times10^{9}$ $J/\psi$ events produced by the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCII) at a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=3.097~\rm{GeV}$ and collected with the BESIII detector, we present a search for the rare semi-leptonic…
The D0 Detector at Fermilab is currently undergoing an extensive upgrade to participate in the Run II data taking which shall begin on March 1, 2001. The design of the detector meets the requirements of the high luminosity environment…
In order to further enhance the particle identification capability of the Beijing Spectrometer (BESIII), it is proposed to upgrade the current end-cap time-of-flight (eTOF) detector with multi-gap resistive plate chamber (MRPC). The…
Using $(10087\pm44)\times10^6J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we search for the rare decay $J/\psi \to \gamma D^0+c.c.$ for the first time. No obvious signal is observed and the upper limit on the branching fraction is…
Recent CLEO results on the observation of the $\Upsilon(1D)$ state and a search for the $\eta_b(1S)$ state from a data sample of $4.7 \times 10^6\,\Upsilon(3S)$ decays collected with the CLEO-III detector, and a measurement of the…
The number of $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII from June 12 to July 28, 2009 is determined to be $(225.3\pm2.8)\times10^{6}$ using $J/\psi \rightarrow inclusive$ events, where the uncertainty is the…
The phase 1 upgrade of the CMS pixel detector has been designed to maintain the tracking performance at instantaneous luminosities of $2 \times 10^{34} \mathrm{~cm}^{-2} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$. Both barrel and endcap disk systems now feature one…
The very fast, FeII-class Nova Ophiuchi 2010 N.1 rised rapidly to maximum brightness (the last 2.2 mag in V band were covered in 3.4 days), maximum that was reached on Jan. 18.3, 2010 at V=8.5, B-V=+0.95, V-Rc=+0.75, and V-Ic=+1.50. The…
The current CMS silicon pixel detector as the innermost component of the CMS experiment is performing well at LHC design luminosity, but would be subject to severe inefficiencies at LHC peak luminosities of 2x10e34 cm^-2 s^-1. Therefore, an…
We report first results from the CHinese Exoplanet Searching Program from Antarctica (CHESPA)---a wide-field high-resolution photometric survey for transiting exoplanets carried out using telescopes of the AST3 (Antarctic Survey Telescopes…
BEPCII is a symmetric $e^+e^-$-collider located in Beijing running at center-of-mass energies between 2.0 and 4.6 GeV. This energy range allows the BESIII-experiment to measure hadron form factors both from direct $e^+e^-$-annihilation and…
A recently approved ten-year extension of the BESIII experiment (IHEP, Beijing) motivated an upgrade program for both the accelerator and the detector. In particular, the current inner drift chamber is suffering from aging and the proposal…
