e^+e^- annihilation data recorded by the JADE detector at PETRA were used to measure the C-parameter for the first time at sqrt{s}= 35 and 44 GeV. The distributions were compared to a resummed QCD calculation which recently became available for this observable. % In addition, we applied extended resummed calculations to the heavy and wide jet broadening variables, B_T and B_W, which now include a proper treatment of the quark recoil against multi-gluon emission with single-logarithmic accuracy. % We further investigated power corrections to the mean values of the observables mentioned above. In this study, we considered all available e^+e^- data between sqrt{s}= 35 and 172 GeV.

e^+e^- annihilation data recorded by the JADE detector at PETRA were used to measure the C-parameter for the first time at sqrt{s}= 35 and 44 GeV. The distributions were compared to a resummed QCD calculation. In addition, we applied extended resummed calculations to the total and wide jet broadening variables, B_T and B_W. We combined the results on alpha_s with those of our previous study of differential 2-jet rate, thrust, and heavy jet mass, obtaining alpha_s(35 GeV) = 0.1448 +0.0117 -0.0070 and alpha_s(44 GeV) = 0.1392 +0.0105 -0.0074. Moreover power corrections to the mean values of the observables mentioned above were investigated considering the Milan factor and the improved prediction for the jet broadening observables. Our study, which considered e^+e^- data of five event shape observables between sqrt{s}= 14 and 183 GeV, yielded alpha_s(M_{Z^0})=0.1177 +0.0035 -0.0034.
We report the first observation of the $Xi_{c}(2930)^0$ charmed-strange baryon with a significance greater than 5$sigma$. The $Xi_{c}(2930)^0$ is found in its decay to $K^- Lambda_{c}^+$ in $B^{-} to K^{-} Lambda_{c}^{+} bar{Lambda}_{c}^{-}$ decays. The measured mass and width are $[2928.9 pm 3.0(rm stat.)^{+0.9}_{-12.0}(rm syst.)]$ MeV/$c^{2}$ and $[19.5 pm 8.4(rm stat.) ^{+5.9}_{-7.9}(rm syst.)]$ MeV, respectively, and the product branching fraction is ${cal B}(B^{-} to Xi_{c}(2930)^0 bar{Lambda}_{c}^{-}) {cal B}(Xi_{c}(2930)^0 to K^- Lambda_{c}^{+})=[1.73 pm 0.45(rm stat.) pm 0.21(rm syst.)]times 10^{-4}$. We also measure ${cal B}(B^{-} to K^{-} Lambda_{c}^{+} bar{Lambda}_{c}^{-}) = [4.80 pm 0.43(rm stat.) pm 0.60(rm syst.)] times 10^{-4}$ with improved precision, and search for the charmonium-like state $Y(4660)$ and its spin partner, $Y_{eta}$, in the $Lambda_{c}^{+}bar{Lambda}_{c}^{-}$ invariant mass spectrum. No clear signals of the $Y(4660)$ nor its spin partner are observed and the 90% credibility level (C.L.) upper limits on their production rates are determined. These measurements are obtained from a sample of $(772pm11)times 10^{6} Bbar{B}$ pairs collected at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy electron-positron collider.
Recent results on jet physics and tests of QCD from hadronic final states in $e^+e^-$ annihilation at PETRA and at LEP are reviewed, with special emphasis on hadronic event shapes, charged particle production rates, properties of quark and gluon jets and determinations of $alpha_s$. The data in the entire energy range from PETRA to LEP-2 are in broad agreement with the QCD predictions. The world summary of measurements of $alpha_s$ is updated and a detailed discussion of various methods to determine the overall error of $alpha_s (M_Z)$ is presented. The new world average is $alpha_s (M_Z) = 0.119 pm 0.004$. The size of the error depends on the treatment of correlated uncertainties.
Carbon and oxygen burning reactions, in particular, $^{12}$C+$^{12}$C fusion, are important for the understanding and interpretation of the late phases of stellar evolution as well as the ignition and nucleosynthesis in cataclysmic binary systems such as type Ia supernovae and x-ray superbursts. A new measurement of this reaction has been performed at the University of Notre Dame using particle-$gamma$ coincidence techniques with SAND (a silicon detector array) at the high-intensity 5U Pelletron accelerator. New results for $^{12}$C+$^{12}$C fusion at low energies relevant to nuclear astrophysics are reported. They show strong disagreement with a recent measurement using the indirect Trojan Horse method. The impact on the carbon burning process under astrophysical scenarios will be discussed.
The ITEP-PNPI collaboration presents new results of the measurements of the spin rotation parameter A in the elastic scattering of negative pions on protons at P_beam=1.43 GeV/c. The results are compared to the predictions of several partial wave analyses. The experiment was performed at the ITEP proton synchrotron, Moscow.
