The K$^{-}$ over K$^{+}$ multiplicity ratio is measured in deep-inelastic scattering, for the first time for kaons carrying a large fraction $z$ of the virtual-photon energy. The data were obtained by the COMPASS collaboration using a 160 GeV muon beam and an isoscalar $^6$LiD target. The regime of deep-inelastic scattering is ensured by requiring $Q^2>1$ (GeV/$c)^2$ for the photon virtuality and $W>5$ GeV/$c^2$ for the invariant mass of the produced hadronic system. Kaons are identified in the momentum range from 12 GeV/$c$ to 40 GeV/$c$, thereby restricting the range in Bjorken-$x$ to $0.01<x<0.40$. The $z$-dependence of the multiplicity ratio is studied for $z>0.75$. For very large values of $z$, $i.e.$ $z>0.8$, we observe the kaon multiplicity ratio to fall below the lower limits expected from calculations based on leading and next-to-leading order perturbative quantum chromodynamics. Also, the kaon multiplicity ratio shows a strong dependence on the missing mass of the single-kaon production process. This suggests that within the perturbative quantum chromodynamics formalism an additional correction may be required, which takes into account the phase space available for hadronisation.

The $bar{rm p} $ over p multiplicity ratio is measured in deep-inelastic scattering for the first time using (anti-) protons carrying a large fraction of the virtual-photon energy, $z>0.5$. The data were obtained by the COMPASS Collaboration using a 160 GeV muon beam impinging on an isoscalar $^6$LiD target. The regime of deep-inelastic scattering is ensured by requiring $Q^2$ > 1 (GeV/$c$)$^2$ for the photon virtuality and $W > 5$ GeV/$c^2$ for the invariant mass of the produced hadronic system. The range in Bjorken-$x$ is restricted to $0.01 < x < 0.40$. Protons and antiprotons are identified in the momentum range $20 div 60$ GeV/$c$. In the whole studied $z$-region, the $bar{rm p}$ over p multiplicity ratio is found to be below the lower limit expected from calculations based on leading-order perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (pQCD). Extending our earlier analysis of the K$^-$ over K$^+$ multiplicity ratio by including now events with larger virtual-photon energies, this ratio becomes closer to the expectation of next-to-leading order pQCD. The results of both analyses strengthen our earlier conclusion that the phase space available for hadronisation should be taken into account in the pQCD formalism.
With $1.06times 10^8$ $psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, the branching fraction of $psi(3686) to omega K^+ K^-$ is measured to be $(1.54 pm 0.04 pm 0.11) times 10^{-4}$. This is the most precise result to date, due to the largest $psi(3686)$ sample, improved signal reconstruction efficiency, good simulation of the detector performance, and a more accurate knowledge of the continuum contribution. Using the branching fraction of $J/psi to omega K^+ K^-$, the ratio $mathcal{B}(psi(3868) to K^+K^-) / mathcal{B}(J/psi to K^+K^-)$ is determined to be $(18.4 pm 3.7),%$. This constitutes a significantly improved test of the $12,%$ rule, with the uncertainty now dominated by the $J/psi$ branching fraction.
We report the measurement of branching fractions and $CP$-violation asymmetries in $Bto phi phi K$ decays based on a $711,{rm fb}^{-1}$ data sample containing $772times 10^6$ $Bbar{B}$ events. The data were recorded at the $Upsilon (4S)$ resonance wi th the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider. For $B^+ to phi phi K^+$, the branching fraction and $CP$-violation asymmetry measured below the $eta_{c}$ threshold ($m_{phiphi}<2.85,{rm GeV}/c^2$) are $[3.43^{,+,0.48}_{,-,0.46}({rm stat})pm 0.22({rm syst})] times10^{-6}$ and $-0.02pm0.11({rm stat})pm0.01({rm syst})$, respectively. Similarly, the branching fraction obtained for $B^0 tophiphi K^0$ below the $eta_{c}$ threshold is $[3.02^{,+,0.75}_{,-,0.66} ({rm stat})pm ,0.20({rm syst})]times10^{-6}$. We also measure the $CP$-violation asymmetry for $B^+ tophiphi K^+$ within the $eta_{c}$ region ($m_{phiphi}in [2.94,3.02],{rm GeV}/c^2$) to be $+0.12pm0.12({rm stat})pm0.01({rm syst})$.
We report a search for charmless hadronic decays of neutral B mesons to the final state K+K-pi0. The results are based on a 711 fb^-1 data sample that contains 772x10^6 BB-bar pairs, and was collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. We find the first evidence for this decay with a significance of 3.5 standard deviations and measure its branching fraction as BF(B0 --> K+K-pi0) = [2.17 +/- 0.60(stat) +/- 0.24 (syst)]x10^-6.
The Heavy Photon Search experiment took its first data in a 2015 engineering run using a 1.056 GeV, 50 nA electron beam provided by CEBAF at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, searching for an electro-produced dark photon. Using 1.7 days (1170 nb$^{-1}$) of data, a search for a resonance in the $e^{+}e^{-}$ invariant mass distribution between 19 and 81 MeV/c$^2$ showed no evidence of dark photon decays above the large QED background, confirming earlier searches and demonstrating the full functionality of the experiment. Upper limits on the square of the coupling of the dark photon to the Standard Model photon are set at the level of 6$times$10$^{-6}$. In addition, a search for displaced dark photon decays did not rule out any territory but resulted in a reliable analysis procedure that will probe hitherto unexplored parameter space with future, higher luminosity runs.
