Angela J. Davis with Kris Henning and Roger Fairfax, Policing the Black Man
No full textProfessor Angela J. Davis, Editor of Policing the Black Man: Arrest, Prosecution and Imprisonment, will be joined by two of the contributing authors of the book -- Professors Kristin Henning and Roger A. Fairfax, Jr.-- to discuss the recent killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and other unarmed black men and women. Davis is a Professor of Law at American University and the author of Arbitrary Justice: the Power of the American Prosecutor and other publications on racism in the criminal justice system. She is a former Director of the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia. Fairfax is the Patricia Roberts Harris Research Professor of Law and the Founding Director of the Criminal Law & Policy Initiative at George Washington University. A former federal prosecutor and criminal defense attorney, he has conducted research on mechanisms of accountability for unjustified police violence against African Americans. Henning is the Agnes N. Williams Professor of Law and Director of the Juvenile Justice Clinic & Initiative at Georgetown Law. She is a former public defender who writes extensively about race, adolescence and policing and is the author of the forthcoming book Arrested Development: From Emmett Till to Tamir Rice

All the mighty world: The photographs of Roger Fenton, 1852–1860
No full textRoger Fenton was the most significant photographer of the mid-19th century whose work covered a wide range of genres, though perhaps best regarded for his photographic studies of the Crimean War in 1855. As the principal curators of the exhibition were American I was asked to join the team because of my specialist knowledge of Fenton, photographic exhibitions and the culture of Victorian Britain. Working with the notes prepared by Baldwin of the Getty, I prepared a detailed and footnoted chronology, researching into many new aspects of Fenton’s life using the local history archives in Lancashire, London and other primary sources. The resulting chronology was circulated to the authors as an aide-memoir for their essay writing. It is the only chronology in the field to benefit from footnotes. My two essays relied extensively on primary source material. In the Royal Archives, Windsor I was granted generous access to the photographic collections, archives and Royal Library. The extensive research into 19th century photographic exhibitions I undertook when preparing Photographs Exhibited in Britain (PEIB) allowed me to offer the first detailed account of Fenton’s exhibiting activities. The PEIB website was used by every author, making it the most frequently cited work in the exhibition catalogue.
A website was created to present faithful transcriptions of the letters sent by Fenton to his family during his time in the Crimea tour. Other than a poorly transcribed and willfully edited publication of letters from 1954 this important collection remained largely unknown. It was a collaborative project that drew of the manuscript collections of the University of Texas at Austin and the National Media Museum, Bradford.

Evidence for the decay B0→J/ψω and measurement of the relative branching fractions of meson decays to J/ψη and J/ψη′
No full textFirst evidence of the B 0 → J / ψ ω decay is found and the B s 0 → J / ψ η and B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ decays are studied using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb -1 collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The branching fractions of these decays are measured relative to that of the B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0 decay:frac(B (B 0 → J / ψ ω), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 0.89 ± 0.19 (stat) - 0.13 + 0.07 (syst),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 14.0 ± 1.2 (stat) - 1.5 + 1.1 (syst) - 1.0 + 1.1 (frac(f d, f s)),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 12.7 ± 1.1 (stat) - 1.3 + 0.5 (syst) - 0.9 + 1.0 (frac(f d, f s)), where the last uncertainty is due to the knowledge of f d / f s, the ratio of b-quark hadronization factors that accounts for the different production rate of B 0 and B s 0 mesons. The ratio of the branching fractions of B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ and B s 0 → J / ψ η decays is measured to befrac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B s 0 → J / ψ η)) = 0.90 ± 0.09 (stat) - 0.02 + 0.06 (syst)
