The Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) completed its second long-duration balloon flight in January 2009, with 31 days aloft (28.5 live days) over Antarctica. ANITA searches for impulsive coherent radio Cherenkov emission from 200 to 1200 MHz, arising the Askaryan charge excess ultra-high energy neutrino-induced cascades within ice. This included significant improvements first payload sensitivity, efficiency, and a trajectory deeper Analysis of in-flight calibration pulses surface...

We report on an upward traveling, radio-detected cosmic-ray-like impulsive event with characteristics closely matching extensive air shower. This event, observed in the third flight of Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA), a NASA-sponsored long-duration balloon payload, is consistent similar reported previous flight. These events could be produced by atmospheric decay upward-propagating τ lepton ν_{τ} interaction, although their relatively steep arrival angles create tension...

Abstract We present a programmable 16 channel, mixed signal, low power readout ASIC, having the project historically named Gigasample Recorder of Analog waveforms from PHotodetector (GRAPH). It is designed to read large aperture single photon imaging detectors using micro channel plates for charge multiplication, and measuring detector's response on crossed strips anodes extrapolate incoming position. Each consists fast, noise sensitive amplifier, which provides myriad coarse fine options...

We describe the development of a future gamma-ray/cosmic-ray mission called Advanced Particle-astrophysics Telescope (APT). The instrument will combine pair tracker and Compton telescope in single monolithic design. By using scintillating fibers for wavelength-shifting to readout CsI detectors, achieve an order magnitude improvement sensitivity compared with Fermi but fewer channels, lower complexity. incorporating multiple imaging over very large effective area, also orders MeV other...

The decay $J/\psi \to \omega p \bar p$ is studied using a $5.8 \times 10^7$ $J/\psi$ event sample accumulated with the BES II detector at Beijing electron-positron collider. branching fraction measured to be $B(J/\psi p)=(9.8\pm 0.3\pm 1.4)\times 10^{-4}$. No significant enhancement near $p\bar mass threshold observed, and an upper limit of X(1860))B(X(1860)\to p\bar p)$$ $$< 1.5 10^{-5}$ determined 95% confidence level, where X(1860) designates near-threshold seen in spectrum \gamma decays.
