Using a unitary extension of chiral perturbation theory with a lowest-order s-wave SU(3) chiral Lagrangian we study low-energy meson-baryon scattering in the strangeness $S=-2$ sector. A scattering-matrix pole is found around 1606 MeV which…
In a recent paper by Husain et al. [PRX 9, 041062 (2019)], the two-particle electronic excitations in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x have been studied by Electron Energy-Loss Spectroscopy in reflection (R-EELS) in the strange metal range between…
The present paper reports on the RXTE observations of the binary X-ray pulsar 4U0115+63, covering an outburst in 1999 March-April with 44 pointings. The 3-30 keV PCA spectra and the 15-50 keV HEXTE spectra were analyzed jointly for the…
Measurements of scattering of $^{7}$Be at 87 MeV on a melamine (C$_{3}$N$ _{6}$H$_{6}$) target and of $^{8}$B at 95 MeV on C were performed. For $^{7}$Be the angular range was extended over previous measurements and monitoring of the…
We present a comprehensive study of the X-ray spectral variability observed in 13 TeV photon emitting high energy peaked BL Lacs(HBLs). These data come from 54 XMM-Newton EPIC-PN pointed observations made during its operational period from…
The proton elastic form factor ratio can be measured either via Rosenbluth separation in an experiment with unpolarized beam and target, or via the use of polarization degrees of freedom. However, data produced by these two approaches show…
We have made the first direct measurement of the parity-violating coupling of the Z^0 boson to the strange quark, A_s, using ~550,000 e^+e^- ->Z^0->hadrons events produced with a polarized electron beam and recorded by the SLD experiment.…
In January 2009, the 2.1-sec anomalous X-ray pulsar 1E 1547.0-5408 evoked intense burst activity. A follow-up Suzaku observation on January 28 recorded enhanced persistent emission both in soft and hard X-rays (Enoto et al. 2010b). Through…
The hitherto unprecedented angular resolution of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has created exciting opportunities in the search for new physics. Recently, the linear polarization of radiation emitted near the supermassive black hole…
Pentaquark states have been extensively investigated theoretically in the context of the constituent quark model. In this paper results of an experimental search for pentaquarks in the \Xim\pim, \Xim\pip, \Xip\pim and \Xip\pip invariant…
Based on a sample of $(10087 \pm 44) \times 10^6$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at BEPCII, we report the first observation of the decay $J/\psi \rightarrow K^- \Sigma^0 \bar{\Xi}^++c.c.$. A partial wave analysis is…
We investigate the potential to probe physics beyond the Standard Model with isotope shift measurements of optical atomic clock transitions. We first derive the reach for generic new physics above the GeV scale at the effective field theory…
We report the results of a search for a narrow resonance in electron-positron events in the invariant mass range of 150-950 GeV/c^2 using 1.3 fb^-1 of ppbar collision data at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV collected by the CDF II detector at Fermilab.…
Photonic events with large missing energy have been observed in e+e- collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 130, 136, 161 and 172 GeV using the OPAL detector at LEP. Results are presented based on search topologies designed to select…
Recently, several $B$-physics experiments have reported an appreciable deviation from the Standard Model (SM) in the tree-level observables $R_{D^{(*)}}$; the combined weighted average now stands at $\approx 4 \sigma$. We first show the…
Evidences for new baryon states with mass >1.8 GeV were obtained in the experiments of the SPHINX Collaboration in studying hyperon-kaon mass spectra in several proton diffractive reactions. The main result of these experiments is the…
Recently a 6.8$\sigma$ anomaly has been reported in the opening angle and invariant mass distributions of $e^+ e^-$ pairs produced in $^8\text{Be}$ nuclear transitions. The data are explained by a 17 MeV vector gauge boson $X$ that is…
