In the last decade, visual odometry (VO) has attracted significant research attention within computer vision community. Most of works have been carried out using standard visible-band cameras. These sensors offer numerous advantages but also suffer from some drawbacks such as illumination variations and limited operational time (i.e., daytime only). this paper, we explore techniques that allow us to extend concepts beyond visible spectrum. We introduce a localization solution based on pair...
The Crystal Ball detector at SPEAR has been used to investigate the decays ψ′→γγJψ, Jψ→(e+e− or μ+μ−) resulting from production of 8×105ψ′. From this selection data we measure branching ratios for processes ψ′→(η π0)Jψ and ψ′→γχ, χ→γJψ. An analysis angular correlations in latter process furnishes measurements χ(3.55) χ(3.51) spins multipole structure radiative transitions.Received 9 December 1981DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.25.2259©1982 American Physical Society
Evidence for a new resonance $\ensuremath{\theta}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\eta}\ensuremath{\eta}$ in the process $\frac{J}{\ensuremath{\psi}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\eta}\ensuremath{\eta}$ is presented. The parameters of $\ensuremath{\theta}$ are $M=1640\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}50$ MeV and $\ensuremath{\Gamma}={220}_{\ensuremath{-}70}^{+100}$ MeV. ${J}^{\mathrm{PC}}={2}^{++}$ preferred over ${0}^{++}$.

This new particle has been named $\ensuremath{\iota}$.
