We present the results of a search for the radiative decay B0 --> J/psi gamma in a data set containing 123 million Y(4S)--> B B-bar decays, collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II ...asymmetric-energy e+e- storage ring at SLAC. We find no evidence for a signal and place an upper limit of B(B0 --> J/psi gamma) < 1.6 x 10^-6 at 90% confidence level.

Based on an 87-fb$^{-1}$ dataset collected by the Babar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy $B$-Factory, a search for $D^{0}$--$\bar{D}^{0}$ mixing has been made using the semileptonic decay ...modes $D^{*+} \to \pi^{+} D^{0}, D^{0} \to K^{(*)}e\nu$ (+c.c.). The use of these modes allows unambiguous flavor tagging and a combined fit of the $D^{0}$ decay time and $D^{*+}$--$D^{0}$ mass difference ($\Delta M$) distributions. The high-statistics sample of unmixed semileptonic $D^{0}$ decays is used to model the $\Delta M$ distribution and time-dependence of mixed events directly from the data. Neural networks are used to select events and reconstruct the $D^{0}$. A result consistent with no charm mixing has been obtained, $R_{\rm{mix}}=0.0023 \pm 0.0012 \pm 0.0004$. This corresponds to an upper limit of $R_{\rm{mix}}<0.0042$ (90% CL).

The process e+e- --> pi+ pi- pi0 gamma has been studied at a center-of-mass energy near the Y(4S) resonance using a 89.3 fb-1 data sample collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II collider. ...From the measured 3pi mass spectrum we have obtained the products of branching fractions for the omega and phi mesons, B(omega --> e+e-)B(omega --> 3pi)=(6.70 +/- 0.06 +/- 0.27)10-5 and B(phi --> e+e-)B(phi --> 3pi)=(4.30 +/- 0.08 +/- 0.21)10-5, and evaluated the e+e- --> pi+ pi- pi0 cross section for the e+e- center-of-mass energy range 1.05 to 3.00 GeV. About 900 e+e- --> J/psi gamma --> pi+ pi- pi0 gamma events have been selected and the branching fraction B(J/psi --> pi+ pi- pi0)=(2.18 +/- 0.19)% has been measured.

Branching fraction measurements using B-meson decays to Kspi+pi- are presented. These measurements were obtained by analyzing a data sample of 88.9 million Y(4S) --> BB decays collected with the ...BaBar detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy B factory. Using a maximum likelihood fit, the following branching fraction results were obtained: Br(B0 -> K0pi+pi- = (43.7 +/- 3.8 +/- 3.4) * 10^-6, Br(B0 --> K{*+}pi-) = (12.9 +/- 2.4 +/- 1.4) * 10$^-6} and Br(B0 --> D-(--> Kspi-)pi+ = (42.7 +/- 2.1 +/- 2.2) * 10^{-6}. The CP violating char ge asymmetry A(K*pi} for the decay B0 --> $K{*+}pi-$ was measured to be A(K*pi} = 0.23 +/- $0.18^{+0.09}_{-0.06}$. For all these measurements the first error is statistical and the second is systematic.

We present measurements of the branching fractions and charge asymmetries (where appropriate) of two-body B decays to eta(')K*, eta(')rho, eta(')pi0, omegapi0, and phipi0. The data were recorded with ...the BABAR detector at PEP-II and correspond to 89x10^6 BB pairs produced in e+e- annihilation through the Upsilon(4S) resonance. We find significant signals for two decay modes and measure the branching fractions BR(B+->etaK*+)=(25.6+/-4.0+/-2.4)x10^{-6} and BR(B0->etaK*0)=(18.6+/-2.3+/-1.2)x10^{-6}, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. We also find evidence with significance 3.5sigma for a third decay mode and measure BR(B+->etarho+)= (9.2+/-3.4+/-1.0)x10^{-6}. For other channels, we set 90% C.L. upper limits of BR(B0->etarho0)<1.5x10^{-6}, BR(B+->eta'K*+) < 14x10^{-6}, BR(B0->eta'K*0) < 7.6x10^{-6}, BR(B+->eta'rho+) < 22x10^{-6}, BR(B0->eta'rho0) < 4.3x10^{-6}, BR(B0->etapi0) < 2.5x10^{-6}, BR(B0->eta'pi0) < 3.7x10^{-6}, BR(B0->omegapi0) < 1.2x10^{-6}, and BR(B0->phipi0) < 1.0x10^{-6}. For self-flavor-tagging modes with significant signals, the time-integrated charge asymmetries are A_ch(B+->etaK*+)=+0.13\pm0.14\pm0.02 and A_ch(B0->etaK*0)=+0.02\pm0.11\pm0.02.

Using events in which one of two neutral-B mesons from the decay of an Y(4S) resonance is fully reconstructed, we set limits on the difference between the decay rates of the two neutral-B mass ...eigenstates and on CP, T, and CPT violation in B0-antiB0 mixing. The reconstructed decays, comprising both CP and flavor eigenstates, are obtained from 88 million Y(4S) --> Banti-B decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. We determine six independent parameters governing oscillations (Deltam, DeltaGamma/Gamma), CPT and CP violation (Re Z, Im Z), and CP and T violation (Im lambdaCP, |q/p|), where lambdaCP characterizes B0 and anti-B0 decays to states of charmonium plus K0S or K0L. The results are sgn(Re lambdaCP)xDeltaGamma/Gamma = -0.008 +/- 0.037(stat) +/- 0.018(syst) -0.084,0.068, |q/p| = 1.029 +/- 0.013(stat) +/- 0.011(syst) 1.001,1.057, (Re lambdaCP)/|lambdaCP|xRe z = 0.014 +/- 0.035(stat) +/- 0.034(syst) -0.072,0.101, Im z = 0.038 +/- 0.029(stat) +/- 0.025(syst) -0.028,0.104, The values inside square brackets indicate the 90% confidence-level intervals. The values of Im lambdaCP and Deltam are consistent with previous analyses and are used as cross-checks. These measurements are in agreement with Standard Model expectations.

We present the result of a search for the charmless two-body baryonic decay B^0 -> ppbar in a sample of 88 million Y(4S) -> BBbar decays collected by the BaBar detector at the SLAC PEP-II ...asymmetric-energy $B$ Factory. We use Cherenkov radiation to identify protons cleanly, and determine the signal yield with a maximum-likelihood fit technique using kinematic and topological information. We find no evidence for a signal and place a 90% confidence-level upper limit of BF(B^0 -> ppbar) < 2.7 x 10^-7.

We report on the EMMI Rapid Reaction Task Force meeting ‘Resonances in QCD’, which took place at GSI October 12–14, 2015. A group of 26 people met to discuss the physics of resonances in QCD. The aim ...of the meeting was defined by the following three key questions:•What is needed to understand the physics of resonances in QCD?•Where does QCD lead us to expect resonances with exotic quantum numbers?•What experimental efforts are required to arrive at a coherent picture? For light mesons and baryons only those with up, down and strange quark content were considered. For heavy–light and heavy–heavy meson systems, those with charm quarks were the focus.
This document summarizes the discussions by the participants, which in turn led to the coherent conclusions we present here.

« Rome n’est plus dans Rome, elle est toute où je suis », peut-on lire dans une tragédie de Corneille. Inversant le proverbe qui dit que tous les chemins mènent à Rome, cet ouvrage va révéler combien ...les voies partant de Rome conduisent vers d’insoupçonnables ailleurs. Du xvie au xviiie siècle, de nombreuses villes se sont réapproprié le mythe de Rome, dépositaire d’un idéal politique impérial et républicain, et capitale d’une religion à vocation universelle. Ces réappropriations, qui ne fonctionnent jamais par simple mimétisme vis-à-vis des réalités romaines, sont un véritable objet d’histoire politique et culturelle. Du Moscou des Romanov, à la Virginie de Jefferson, en passant par le Saint-Empire, l’Espagne ou la France, ce livre est un appel au voyage conduisant de Rome au reste de l’Europe et du monde. Ouvrant la voie à une histoire mondiale de Rome, qui reste à écrire, il offre divers modèles d’interprétation des liens qui se tissent entre les villes, dans la rugosité de leurs édifices comme la plasticité de leurs imaginaires.
À la suite de leur venue en Amérique et de l’intégration forcée des Empires aztèques et incas, les Espagnols cherchèrent précocement à ancrer la légitimité de leurs conquêtes. Étant donné que la ...gouvernance espagnole se fondait largement sur la maîtrise d’un réseau urbain, il apparut évident que la fondation de nouvelles villes dans le Nouveau Monde allait œuvrer puissamment à cette entreprise de légitimation. L’objectif de cette contribution est de démontrer dans quelle mesure cette opératio...
