High-statistics measurements of differential cross sections and spin density matrix elements for the reaction $gamma p to phi p$ have been made using the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. We cover center-of-mass energies ($sqrt{s}$) from 1.97 to 2.84 GeV, with an extensive coverage in the $phi$ production angle. The high statistics of the data sample made it necessary to carefully account for the interplay between the $phi$ natural lineshape and effects of the detector resolution, that are found to be comparable in magnitude. We study both the charged- ($phi to K^+ K^-$) and neutral- ($phi to K^0_S K^0_L$) $Koverline{K}$ decay modes of the $phi$. Further, for the charged mode, we differentiate between the cases where the final $K^-$ track is directly detected or its momentum reconstructed as the total missing momentum in the event. The two charged-mode topologies and the neutral-mode have different resolutions and are calibrated against each other. Extensive usage is made of kinematic fitting to improve the reconstructed $phi$ mass resolution. Our final results are reported in 10- and mostly 30-MeV-wide $sqrt{s}$ bins for the charged- and the neutral-mode, respectively. Possible effects from $K^+ Lambda^ast$ channels with $p Koverline{K}$ final-states are discussed. These present results constitute the most precise and extensive $phi$ photoproduction measurements to date and in conjunction with the $omega$ photoproduction results recently published by CLAS, will greatly improve our understanding of low energy vector meson photoproduction.

High-statistics differential cross sections for the reactions gamma p -> p eta and gamma p -> p eta-prime have been measured using the CLAS at Jefferson Lab for center-of-mass energies from near threshold up to 2.84 GeV. The eta-prime results are the most precise to date and provide the largest energy and angular coverage. The eta measurements extend the energy range of the worlds large-angle results by approximately 300 MeV. These new data, in particular the eta-prime measurements, are likely to help constrain the analyses being performed to search for new baryon resonance states.
The spin density matrix of the $omega$ has been determined for the reaction $bar{p} p , rightarrow , omega pi^0$ with unpolarized in-flight data measured by the Crystal Barrel LEAR experiment at CERN. The two main decay modes of the $omega$ into $pi^ 0 gamma $ and $pi^+ pi^- pi^0$ have been separately analyzed for various $bar{p}$ momenta between 600 and 1940 MeV/c. The results obtained with the usual method by extracting the matrix elements via the $omega$ decay angular distributions and with the more sophisticated method via a full partial wave analysis are in good agreement. A strong spin alignment of the $omega$ is clearly visible in this energy regime and all individual spin density matrix elements exhibit an oscillatory dependence on the production angle. In addition, the largest contributing orbital angular momentum of the $bar{p}p$ system has been identified for the different beam momenta. It increases from $L^{max}_{bar{p}p}$ = 2 at 600 MeV/c to $L^{max}_{bar{p}p}$ = 5 at 1940 MeV/c.
We report on the $W$ and $Z/gamma^*$ differential and total cross sections as well as the $W^+$/$W^-$ and $(W^+ + W^-)$/$(Z/gamma^*)$ cross-section ratios measured by the STAR experiment at RHIC in $p+p$ collisions at $sqrt{s} = 500$ GeV and $510$ Ge V. The cross sections and their ratios are sensitive to quark and antiquark parton distribution functions. In particular, at leading order, the $W$ cross-section ratio is sensitive to the $bar{d}/bar{u}$ ratio. These measurements were taken at high $Q^2 sim M_W^2,M_Z^2$ and can serve as input into global analyses to provide constraints on the sea quark distributions. The results presented here combine three STAR data sets from 2011, 2012, and 2013, accumulating an integrated luminosity of 350 pb$^{-1}$. We also assess the expected impact that our $W^+/W^-$ cross-section ratios will have on various quark distributions, and find sensitivity to the $bar{u}-bar{d}$ and $bar{d}/bar{u}$ distributions.

The $phi$-$Lambda(1520)$ interference effect in the $gamma pto K^+K^-p$ reaction has been measured for the first time in the energy range from 1.673 to 2.173 GeV. The relative phases between $phi$ and $Lambda(1520)$ production amplitudes were obtaine d in the kinematic region where the two resonances overlap. The measurement results support strong constructive interference when $K^+K^-$ pairs are observed at forward angles, but destructive interference for proton emission at forward angles. Furthermore, the observed interference effect does not account for the $sqrt{s}=2.1$ GeV bump structure in forward differential cross sections for $phi$ photoproduction. This fact suggests possible exotic structures such as a hidden-strangeness pentaquark state, a new Pomeron exchange and rescattering processes via other hyperon states.

Because the production cross sections of gamma-rays, electrons, and positrons made in p-p collisions, $sigma_{pprightarrow gamma}$ and $sigma_{pprightarrow {e}^pm}$, respectively, are kinematically equivalent with respect to the parent pion-productio n cross section $sigma_{pprightarrow pi}$, we obtain $sigma_{pprightarrow {e}^pm}$ directly from the machine data on $sigma_{pprightarrow gamma}$. In Sato et al. (2012), we give explicitly $sigma_{pprightarrow gamma}$, reproducing quite well the accelerator data with LHC, namely $sigma_{pprightarrow {e}^pm}$ is applicable enough over the wide energy range from GeV to 20,PeV for projectile proton energy. We dicuss in detail the relation between the cross sections, and present explicitly $sigma_{pprightarrow {e}^pm}$ that are valid into the PeV electron energy.
