A new structure function analysis of CCFR deep inelastic nu-N and nubar-N scattering data is presented for previously unexplored kinematic regions down to Bjorken x=0.0045 and Q^2=0.3 GeV^2. Comparisons to charged lepton scattering data from NMC and E665 experiments are made and the behavior of the structure function F2_nu is studied in the limit Q^2 -> 0
We report on the extraction of the structure functions F_2 and Delta xF_3 = xF_3(nu)-xF_3(nubar) from CCFR nu_mu-Fe and nubar_mu-Fe different ial cross sections. The extraction is performed in a physics model independent (PMI) way. This first measurement of Delta xF_3, which is useful in testing models of heavy charm production, is higher than current theoretical predictios. The ratio of the F_2 (PMI) values measured in nu_mu and mu scattering is in agreement (within 5%) with the NLO predictions using massive charm production schemes, thus resolving the long-standing discrepancy between the two sets of data. In addition, measurements of F_L (or, equivalently, R) and 2xF_1 are reported in the kinematic region where anomalous nuclear effects in R are observed at HERMES.
We present recent results from the BES experiment on the observation of the Y(2175) in $J/psito phi f_0(980) eta$, and $eta(2225)$ in $J/psito gamma phi phi$, and X(1440) in $J/psi$ hadronic decays, together with the new observation of $psi(2S)$ radiative decays and hadronic decays into $nksldb+c.c., ldldbpi^0, ldldbeta$. The effort to search for $J/psi$ decays into $gammagamma$ and invisible decays are also reported.
HERA $ep$ collider provides unique information on the proton structure. High center of mass energy $s=320$ GeV gives access to both the low Bjorken-$x$ domain and regime of high momentum transfers $Q$. Recently the H1 collaboration reported a high precision measurement of the structure function $F_2$ at low $x$ leading to tight constraints on the sea quark and gluon densities. Both the H1 and ZEUS collaborations measure the structure function $F_L$ which provides an important cross check of the conventional QCD picture. This measurement is recently extended by H1 to low $Q^2$ where small $x$ corrections may play important role. An ultimate precision of the deep inelastic scattering cross section measurement is achieved by combining the measurements of the H1 and ZEUS collaborations. The combined data are used as a sole input to a QCD fit to obtained HERA PDF set. New measurements of inclusive $e^-p$ neutral and charged current scattering cross sections by the ZEUS collaboration at high $Q^2$ improve precision in this kinematic domain. H1 analysis of the DIS high $P_t$ jet production cross section is used for a determination of the strong coupling constant $alpha_S$. Separation of the strange quark density from the total sea is obtained by the HERMES collaboration using tagged $K^{pm}$ production.
The review on experimental results on charmonium and charmonium-like spectroscopy from B-factories is presented. Main theoretical interpretations, such as conventional charmonium, molecular state, hybrids, tetraquarks and others are discussed.
The MINERvA collaboration is currently engaged in a broad program of neutrino-nucleus interaction measurements. Several recent measurements of interest to the accelerator-based oscillation community are presented. These include measurements of quasi-elastic scattering, diffractive pion production, kaon production and comparisons of interaction cross sections across nuclei. A new measurement of the NuMI neutrino beam flux that incorporates both external hadro-production data and MINERvA detector data is also presented.
