BTeV is an experiment being constructed at the Fermilab [Formula: see text] collider, designed to study mixing, CP violation, and rare decays of beauty and charm hadrons. The detector covers the forward region (10-300 mrad), components include silicon pixels, tracking, RICH, PdWO4 electromagnetic calorimeter, and muon system. Brief description of individual detector elements are presented.

We review the status of rare decays and CP violation in extensions of the Standard Model. We analyze the determination of the unitarity triangle and the model-independent constraints on new physics that can be derived from this analysis. We find stringent bounds on new contributions to [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] mixing, pointing either to models of minimal flavour violation or to models with new sources of flavour and CP violation in b → s transitions. We discuss the status of the universal unitarity triangle in minimal flavour violation, and study rare decays in this class of models. We then turn to supersymmetric models with nontrivial mixing between second and third generation squarks, discuss the present constraints on this mixing and analyze the possible effects on CP violation in b → s nonleptonic decays and on [Formula: see text] mixing. We conclude presenting an outlook on Lepton-Photon 2009.

The LumiCal electromagnetic calorimeter is designed for the forward region of future electron-positron colliders, such as CLIC and ILC. It is intended to improve hermeticity of detectors by detecting electrons, positrons, and photons at small angles. Currently, the detector prototypes are studied in the beam test conditions. An important part of the signal processing is the digital filltering implemented in the read-out electronics, influencing the precision and quality of gathered data. In this article two schemes of digital filltering of gathered signal from test beam for the LumiCal detector prototype are presented.

Longitudinally polarized [Formula: see text] scattering experiments provide access to gluon polarization via measurement of the double helicity asymmetry, [Formula: see text]. At the completion of the 2013 RHIC running period, a significant dataset of [Formula: see text]s corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 46 [Formula: see text] (2012) and 8 [Formula: see text] (2013) produced from polarized [Formula: see text] scattering at [Formula: see text] GeV with an average beam polarization of approximately [Formula: see text] was acquired. The [Formula: see text] kinematics were measured via isolation cones by the STAR Forward Meson Spectrometer, an electromagnetic calorimeter covering a forward pseudorapidity range of [Formula: see text]. The asymmetric [Formula: see text] subprocess becomes more dominant in this forward region than in the midrapidity region; furthermore, asymmetry measurements in the forward region are sensitive to low-[Formula: see text] gluons. Progress on [Formula: see text] determined from forward [Formula: see text] events, complementing previous midrapidity measurements, are presented.
