Abstract:

The dijet cross section in photoproduction has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 38.6 pb-1. The events were required to have a virtuality of the incoming photon, Q2, of less than 1 GeV2 and a photon-proton centre-of-mass energy in the range 134 < Wγp < 277 GeV. Each event contains at least two jets satisfying transverse-energy requirements of ETjet1 > 14 GeV and ETjet2 > 11 GeV and pseudorapidity requirements of -1 < ηjet1,2 < 2.4. The measurements are compared to next-to-leading-order QCD predictions. The data show particular sensitivity to the density of partons in the photon, allowing the validity of the current parameterisations to be tested.

Abstract:

The branching fraction of the exclusive decays B0 → K*0γ and B+ → K*+γ measured from a sample of BB̄ decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymetric e+e- collider was discussed. It was found that the weighted average of the measured CP-violating charged asymmetries was Acp(B → K*γ) = -0.044 + 0.076 (stat) ± 0.012 (syst). The results showed the CP-violating charge asymmetry to be constrained to -0.170 < Acp(B → K*γ) < 0.082 at 90% C.L.

Abstract:

Dijet cross sections in neutral current deep inelastic ep scattering have been measured in the range 10 < Q2 < 104 GeV 2 with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 38.4 pb-1. The cross sections, measured in the Breit frame using the kT jet algorithm, are compared with next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD calculations using proton parton distribution functions. The uncertainties of the QCD calculations have been studied. The predictions are in reasonable agreement with the measured cross sections over the entire kinematic range.
