A proton spin-polarizability characterizing backward Compton scattering has been extracted from a dispersion analysis of data between 33 and 309 MeV. This backward spin-polarizability, "delta" = 27.1 +/-2.2(stat+sys) +2.8/-2.4(model) in…

We present a new value for the neutron lifetime of 878.5 +- 0.7 stat. +- 0.3 syst. This result differs from the world average value (885.7 +- 0.8 s) by 6.5 standard deviations and by 5.6 standard deviations from the previous most precise…
We reanalyse hyperon beta decay data to extract the corresponding F and D values. We show that flavour symmetry breaking effects lead naturally to a reduction of the $F/D$ ratio. For proton and neutron our analyses suggests $F/D = 0.49 \pm…
