Time-Of-Flight (TOF) based on Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chamber (MRPC) detectors have been successfully operating at the STAR experiment since 2003.2,3 The MRPC time resolution is however found to be significantly worse2 (80-90 ps) than that previously obtained in beam test (60 ps).4 In order to fully understand MRPC working principles and operating requirements, an extensive calibration study is performed using data collected by STAR in 200 GeV Au + Au collisions in 2004. The relation between MRPC timing, signal amplitude, incident angle and momentum are discussed. Contributions from tracking properties of STAR-TPC are also studied by simulation. The intrinsic time resolution of the MRPCs used in STAR-TOF, after taking all factors into consideration, is found to be in good agreement with beam test results.

We present the new results of measurements of the exlusive cross sections of the e+ e− annihilation to charmed meson pairs as a function of √ ceneter-of-mass energy from the open charm threashold up to $ \sqrt s = {\rm{6 GeV}} $ using initial state radiation technique. The analysis is based on a data sample collected by the Belle detector with an integrated luminosity of 951 fb−1. The accuracy of the cross section measurement is increased by a factor of 2 in comparison with the first Belle study. We have performed the first angular analysis + −→ D*± D*∓ of the $ {e^{\rm{ + }}}{e^ - } \to {D^{* \pm }}{D^{* \mp }} $ process and decomposed this exclusive cross section into three components corresponding to the different D* helicities.

Calculations show that the data on the Z0 hadronic branching ratio fraction to [Formula: see text] at the Z0 pole as well as the inclusive b→sγ branching ratio can be explained by an anomalous (γ-Z0)WW coupling having ∆κ=−1 and λ=0. Such a vertex was derived from a representation in spinor space some time ago. The agreement is analyzed and possible implication of that basic spinor symmetry are described. Finally, the recent data on diboson production and their interpretation are examined critically. The used and shortly presented electroweak unification scheme of “structureless compositeness” provides two natural explanations of the increase of the inclusive jet cross-section above 200 GeV jet transverse energy observed at FNAL recently.
