The new simple method of the energy reconstruction for a combined calorimeter, which we called the e/h method, is suggested. It uses only the known e/h ratios and the electron calibration constants and does not require the determination of any parameters by a minimization technique. The method has been tested on the basis of the 1996 test beam data of the combined calorimeter and demonstrated the correctness of the reconstruction of the mean values of energies. The obtained fractional energy resolution is $[(58pm3)%/sqrt{E}+(2.5pm0.3)%]oplus (1.7pm0.2)/E$. This algorithm can be used for the fast energy reconstruction in the first level trigger.
Hadron energy reconstruction for the Atlas barrel prototype combined calorimeter, consisting of the lead-liquid argon electromagnetic part and the iron-scintillator hadronic part, in the framework of the non-parametrical method has been fulfilled. This method uses only the known e/h ratios and the electron calibration constants and does not require the determination of any parameters by a minimization technique and can be used for the fast energy reconstruction in the first level trigger. The obtained reconstruction of the mean values of energies is within $pm 1%$ and the fractional energy resolution is $[(58pm3)% sqrt{GeV}/sqrt{E}+(2.5pm0.3)%]oplus (1.7pm0.2) GeV/E$. The obtained value of the e/h ratio for electromagnetic compartment of the combined calorimeter is $1.74pm0.04$ and agrees with the prediction that $e/h > 1.7$ for this electromagnetic calorimeter. The results of the study of the longitudinal hadronic shower development are presented. The data have been taken in the H8 beam line of the CERN SPS using pions of 10 -- 300 GeV.
The method of extraction of the e/h ratio for an electromagnetic compartment of a combined calorimeter is suggested and the non-compensation was determined. The results agree with the Monte Carlo prediction and results of the weighting method for electromagnetic compartment of combined calorimeter. The new easy method of a hadronic energy reconstruction for a combined calorimeter is also suggested. The proposed methods can be used for a combined calorimeter, which is being designed to perform energy measurement in a next-generation high energy collider experiment like ATLAS at LHC.

The intrinsic performance of the ATLAS barrel and extended barrel calorimeters for the measurement of charged pions is presented. Pion energy scans (E = 20, 50, 200, 400 and 1000 GeV) at two pseudo-rapidity points ($eta$ = 0.3 and 1.3) and pseudorapidity scans ($-0.2 < eta < 1.8$) with pions of constant transverse energy ($E_T = 20$ and 50 GeV) are analysed. A simple approach, that accounts in first order for non-compensation and dead material effects, is used for the pion energy reconstruction. The intrinsic performances of the calorimeter are studied: resolution, linearity, effect of dead material, tails in the energy distribution. The effect of electronic noise, cell energy cuts and restricted cone size are investigated.
We search for rare decays of $D$ mesons to hadrons accompany with an electron-positron pair (h(h)$e^+e^-$), using an $e^+e^-$ collision sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.93 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the BESIII detector at $sqrt{s}$ = 3.773 GeV. No significant signals are observed, and the corresponding upper limits on the branching fractions at the $90%$ confidence level are determined. The sensitivities of the results are at the level of $10^{-5} sim 10^{-6}$, providing a large improvement over previous searches.
