The CLEO-c experiment has been collecting data at the charm-threshold region. A selection of recent results on charmed meson and charmonia decays are presented.
This paper presents the results of searches for the flavor-changing neutral current, lepton-number-violating and lepton-flavor-violating processes in the charm mesons decays. Recent results from charged $D$ mesons decays to final states with dielectr
ons from CLEO-c are reported. The prospects of the searches for the rare charm decays at BES-III are also discussed.
The charmonium system provides an opportunity to explore a wide variety of topics in hadronic physics. Studies of the properties of and transitions among cc-bar states yield insight into relativistic and non-perturbative QCD effects. At the same time
, studies of the decays of charmonium states are a window into gluon dynamics and the role of glueball mixing in the production of light quark states. A collection of preliminary results utilizing the full CLEO-c psi(2S) data sample is presented including two-body branching fractions of chi_cJ decays, a precision measurement of the h_c mass, and results on the hindered M1 transition: psi(2S) -> gamma eta_c.
Recent results on Charmonium decays are reviewed which includes two-, three- and four-body decays of $chi_{cJ}$ states, observations of Y(4260) through $pipi J/psi$ transitions, precise measurements of $M(D^0)$, $M(eta)$ as well as $mathcal{B}(etato X)$.
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 $psi(2S)$ radi
ative 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 pr
ecision 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.
