The highlights and conflicts at the B Factories are briefly reviewed. CP violation was established in 2001 in B → J/ψKS and related modes, which has now become a precision measurement of CP violation in B-B 0 mixing. However, the situation for the B → ππ and charmless b → s modes, which probe also CP violation in the decay amplitude, are not quite settled yet. They could be hinting at presence ...

We investigate the single-spin asymmetries in inclusive and exclusive processes of electron-proton scattering and electron-positron annihilation. In the decomposition of hadronic tensor, a Lorentz symmetric spin-dependent term is generally present. The existence of such a term implies single-spin asymmetries in these processes and these single-spin asymmetries for baryons can be understood in a...

Nonleptonic B to charmonium decays generally deviate from the factorization predictions. We study rescattering effects mediated by intermediate charmed mesons in this class of decay modes and, in particular, we consider B− → K−hc with hc the J PC = 1 c̄c meson, relating this mode to B− → K−χc0. We find B(B− → K−hc) large enough to be measured at the B factories, hence this process could be used ...

MONOLITH is a proposed massive (34 kt) magnetized tracking calorimeter at the Gran Sasso laboratory in Italy, optimized for the detection of atmospheric muon neutrinos. The main goal is to establish (or reject) the neutrino oscillation hypothesis through an explicit observation of the full first oscillation swing. The ∆m sensitivity range for this measurement comfortably covers the complete Sup...

This paper addresses the problem of extracting formal statements, in the form of business rules, from free text descriptions of financial products or services. This automatic process is integrated in the banking software factory, permitting business analysts the formal specification, direct implementation and fast deployment of new products. This system is fully integrated with the typical soft...

With the emergence of new enterprise models, such as technologybased enterprises, and the large quantity of information generated through technological advances, the Zachman framework continues to represent a modelling tool of great utility and value to construct an enterprise architecture that can integrate and align the IT infrastructure and business goals. Nevertheless, implementing an enter...

During the Workshop the physics goals[l] of the r-charm Factory (rcF) were studied and their specific detector requirements evaluated. Based on these requirements and the constraints of the machine, the Detector Working Groups explored various approaches and arrived at a basic detector configuration, using existing technologies, that successfully meets the physics requirements. This configurati...

We describe a possible Liquid Argon Neutrino and Nucleon Decay Detector (LANNDD) that consists of a 70 kT magnetized liquid Argon tracking detector. The detector is being designed for the Carlsbad Underground Laboratory. The major scientific goals are: 1) Search for μ + ν + → K p to 10 years lifetime 2) Detection of large numbers of solar neutrino events and supernova events 3) Study of atmosph...

There is considerable evidence that transcription does not occur homogeneously or diffusely throughout the nucleus, but rather at a number of specialized, discrete sites termed transcription factories. The factories are composed of ~4-30 RNA polymerase molecules, and are associated with many other molecules involved in transcriptional activation and mRNA processing. Some data suggest that the p...
