Study of Ds decays
No full textIn the spectator model, the lowest lying bound state of the charm-strange quarks, the Ds meson, is predicted to decay via W emission from the charm quark and form states with s{bar s} hidden strangeness. The conventional hadronic modes will contain K{bar K}, {phi} and the f{sub 0}(975), which is considered to be the J{sup pc} = 0{sup ++} isoscalar s{bar s} meson. Hadronic decays of the Ds meson have been measured in relatively few modes and all modes are measured relative to the {phi}{pi} mode. In this paper, an upper limit for the absolute branching ratio of the Ds decay into the {phi}{pi} mode and evidence for the decay, Ds {yields} f{sub 0}(975){pi} is presented from the Mark III. 26 refs., 4 figs

Review of straw chambers
No full textThis is a review of straw chambers used in the HRS, MAC, Mark III, CLEO, AMY, and TPC e{sup +}e{sup {minus}} experiments. The straws are 6--8 mm in diameter, operate at 1--4 atmospheres and obtain resolutions of 45--100 microns. The designs and constructions are summarized and possible improvements discussed

Tau Charm Factory physics
No full textTau Charm Factories proposed for future machines will provide powerful and unique facilities to study a variety of physics topics: the tau lepton, charm mesons, charmonium and the J/{psi} decays. These topics cover the physics of the members of the first and second quark doublets and the third lepton doublet. A workshop held at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center reviewed the physics, the machine and the detector for such a facility. In this paper, highlights of this meeting will be reviewed. We will begin with a short sketch of the machine issues and then briefly describe topics in tau, charm and charmonium-J/{psi} physics. 49 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab

Experimental review of light quark spectroscopy from e/sup +/e/sup -/ production and. gamma gamma. collisions
No full textThis is an experimental review of light quark spectroscopy from e/sup +/e/sup -/ production and ..gamma gamma.. collision results presented at the 2nd International Conference on Hadron Spectroscopy at KEK, Japan. The recent results in ..gamma gamma.. production have evidence for the J/sup PC/ = 1/sup + +/, E/f/sub 1/(1420) and D/f/sub 1/(1285), mesons from the TPC and Mark II collaborations and upper limits for pseudoscalar resonances from the Crystal Ball collaboration. The results in J/psi reactions include D/f/sub 1/(1285) meson production in radiative decays and a complete measurement of the hadronic decays into pseudoscalar-vector pairs from the DM2 collaboration and evidence for phi phi production in radiative decays and a study of the iota line shape from the Mark III collaboration. A short review of simple theoretical ideas is presented

This includes a study of iota/E decays in J//psi/ el/eta/ and elelp, two pseudoscalar decays near threshold in J//psi/ el and el /bar K/K and two vector decays in J//psi/ el /bar K//sup o/*K/sup o/*. 20 refs., 9 figs
Landscape as a Benchmark: Poetics of Place as a Critical Tool in W.H. Auden’s Prose
No full textW.H. Auden had a profound and clearly defined spatial awareness. As an editor of anthologies, Professor of Poetry at Oxford and author of essays, reviews, forewords and introductions, he was also prolific in the profession of a literary critic judging the work of others. This paper traces the connections between these two facets, with a special emphasis on Auden’s readiness to use other writers’ topophilic responsiveness to the physical environment and landscape as a benchmark for assessing their qualities. Focusing on Auden’s critical assessment of Wordsworth, Frost, Betjeman and Rilke on the basis of their poetics of place, the present study examines Auden’s implementation of this criterion in his critical method.
