We report the observation of a narrow charmoniumlike state produced in exclusive decay process B+/--->K+/-pi(+)pi(-)J/psi. This state, which decays into pi(+)pi(-)J/psi, has mass 3872.0+/-0.6(stat)+/-0.5(syst) MeV, value that is very near M(D0)+M(D(*0)) threshold.

A search for $\bar\nu_{\mu}\to \bar\nu_{e}$ oscillations has been conducted at the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility by using $\bar\nu_\mu$ from $\mu^+$ decay rest. The $\bar\nu_e$ are detected via reaction $\bar\nu_e\,p \rightarrow e^{+}\,n$, correlated with a $\gamma$ $np\rightarrow d\gamma$ ($2.2\,{\rm MeV}$). use of tight cuts to identify $e^+$ events rays yields 22 energy between 36 and $60\,{\rm MeV}$ only $4.6 \pm 0.6$ background events. fit 20 total excess $51.8^{+18.7}_{-16.9} 8.0$...
