A data-driven approach to π^0,η and η＇ single and double Dalitz decays

The dilepton invariant mass spectra and integrated branching ratios of the single and double Dalitz decays P→l^＋l^-γ and P→l^＋l^-l^＋l^-（P=π^0,η,η＇;l=e or μ） are predicted by means of a data-driven approach based on the use of rational approximants applied to π^0,η and η＇ transition form factor experimental data in the space-like region.

Sample Size Dependence of Second Magnetizaion Peak in Type-ⅡSuperconductors

We show that the second magnetization peak(SMP),i.e.,an increase in the magnetization hysteresis loop width in type-11 superconductors,vanishes for samples smaller than a critical size,We argue that the SMP is not related to the critical current enhancement but can be well explainde within a frameword of the thermomagenetic flux-jump in stability theory,where flux jumps reduce the absolute irreversible magnetization relative to the isothermal critical state value at low enough magnetic fields.The recovering of the isothermal critical sate with increasing field leads to the SMP.The low-field SMP takes place in both low-T.conventional and high*t.unconventional superconductors.Our results show that the rsstoration of the isothermal critical state is rsponsible for the SMP occurrence in both cases.

PARTICLE DETECTORS AT ACCELERATORS

33.1. Introduction This review summarizes the detector technologies employed at accelerator particle physics experiments. Several of these detectors are also used in a non-accelerator context and examples of such applications will be provided. The detector techniques which are specific to non-accelerator particle physics experiments are the subject of Chap.

PARTICLE DETECTORS FOR NON-ACCELERATOR PHYSICS

Updated 2013 （see the various sections for authors）.34.1. Introduction Non-accelerator experiments have become increasingly important in particle physics. These include classical cosmic ray experiments, neutrino oscillation measurements, and searches for double-beta decay, dark matter candidates, and magnetic monopoles.

Angle-tunable intersubband photoabsorption and enhanced photobleaching in twisted bilayer graphene

Van der Waals heterostructures obtained by artificially stacking two-dimensional crystals represent the frontier of material engineering,demonstrating properties superior to those of the starting materials.Fine control of the interlayer twist angle has opened new possibilities for tailoring the optoelectronic properties of these heterostructures.Twisted bilayer graphene with a strong interlayer coupling is a prototype of twisted heterostructure inheriting the intriguing electronic properties of graphene.Understanding the effects of the twist angle on its out-of-equilibrium optical properties is crucial for devising optoelectronic applications.With this aim,we here combine excitation-resolved hot photoluminescence with femtosecond transient absorption microscopy.The hot charge carrier distribution induced by photo-excitation results in peaked absorption bleaching and photo-induced absorption bands,both with pronounced twist angle dependence.Theoretical simulations of the electronic band structure and of the joint density of states enable to assign these bands to the blocking of interband transitions at the van Hove singularities and to photo-activated intersubband transitions.The tens of picoseconds relaxation dynamics of the observed bands is attributed to the angle-dependence of electron and phonon heat capacities of twisted bilayer graphene.

REVIEW OF PARTICLE PHYSICS

The Review summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 3,283 new measurements from 899 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons and the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons, and baryons. We summarize searches for hypothetical particles such as heavy neutrinos, supersymmetric and technicolor particles, axions, dark photons, etc. All the particle properties and search limits are listed in Summary Tables. We also give numerous tables, figures, formulae, and reviews of topics such as Supersymmetry, Extra Dimensions, Particle Detectors, Probability, and Statistics. Among the 112 reviews are many that are new or heavily revised including those on： Dark Energy, Higgs Boson Physics, Electroweak Model, Neutrino Cross Section Measurements, Monte Carlo Neutrino Generators, Top Quark, Dark Matter, Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking, Accelerator Physics of Colliders, High-Energy Collider Parameters, Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, Astrophysical Constants and Cosmological Parameters. A booklet is available containing the Summary Tables and abbreviated versions of some of the other sections of this full Review. All tables, listings, and reviews （and errata） are also available on the Particle Data Group website： http ：//pdg. lbl. gov.

INTRODUCTION

1. Overview The Review of Particle Physics and the abbreviated version, the Particle Physics Booklet, are reviews of the field of Particle Physics. This complete Review includes a compilation/evaluation of data on particle properties, called the ＂Particle Listings.＂ These Listings include 3,283 new measurements from 899 papers, in addition to the 32,153 measurements from 8,944 papers that first appeared in previous editions [1].

SU(3) ISOSCALAR FACTORS AND REPRESENTATION MATRICES

Written by R.L. Kelly （LBNL）. The most commonly used SU（3） isoscalar factors, corresponding to the singlet, octet, and deeuplet content of 8 8 and 10 8, are shown at the right. The notation uses particle names to identify the coefficients, so that the pattern of relative couplings may be seen at a glance. We illustrate the use of the coefficients below.

STATISTICS

Revised September 2013 by G. Cowan （RHUL）. This chapter gives an overview of statistical methods used in high-energy physics. In statistics, we are interested in using a given sample of data to make inferences about a probabilistic model, e.g., to assess the model＇s validity or to determine the values of its parameters. There are two main approaches to statistical inference, which we may call frequentist and Bayesian.
