Heavy Quarkonium Physics
ArXiv hep-ph/0412158 (2004)
Abstract:
This report is the result of the collaboration and research effort of the Quarkonium Working Group over the last three years. It provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in heavy-quarkonium theory and experiment, covering quarkonium spectroscopy, decay, and production, the determination of QCD parameters from quarkonium observables, quarkonia in media, and the effects on quarkonia of physics beyond the Standard Model. An introduction to common theoretical and experimental tools is included. Future opportunities for research in quarkonium physics are also discussed.Finding Faint Intermediate-mass Black Holes in the Radio Band

GRS 1915+105: The first three months with INTEGRAL
European Space Agency, (Special Publication) ESA SP (2004) 299-305
Abstract:
GRS 1915+105 is being observed as part of an Open Time monitoring program with INTEGRAL. Three out of six observations from the monitoring program are presented here, in addition to data obtained through an exchange with other observers. We also present simultaneous RXTE observations of GRS 1915+105. During INTEGRAL Revolution 48 (2003 March 6) the source was observed to be in a highly variable state, characterized by 5-minute quasi-periodic oscillations. During these oscillations, the rise is faster than the decline, and is harder. This particular type of variability has never been observed before. During subsequent INTEGRAL revolutions (2003 March-May), the source was in a steady or "plateau" state (also known as class χaccording to Belloni et al. 2000). Here we discuss both the temporal and spectral characteristics of the source during the first three months of observations. The source was clearly detected with all three gamma-ray and X-ray instruments onboard INTEGRAL.Photon transitions in ψ(2S) decays to χcJ(1P) and ηc(1S)
