Cristina Biino (Universita e INFN (IT))07/07/2012, 18:00Track 13. Detectors and Computing for HEPPoster SessionsThe branching ratio (BR) for the decay K^+ \to \pi^+\nu\bar{\nu} is a sensitive probe for new physics. The NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS will measure this BR to within about 10%. To reject the dominant background from channels with final state photons, the large-angle vetoes (LAVs) must detect photons with energies as low as 200 MeV with an inefficiency of less than 10^{-4}, as well as...Go to contribution page

Dr Chong Chung Lih (Department of Optometry, Shu-Zen College of Medicine and Management (TW))07/07/2012, 18:00Track 7. CP Violation, CKM, Rare Decays, Meson SpectroscopyPoster SessionsWe use the light fornt quark model in order to improve the theoretical prediction of the transition form factor of pi^{0} (eta(')) to gamma^* gamma as a function of the momentum transfer Q^2. We compare our result with the experimental data by BaBar as well as other calculations based on the LFQM. We show that our predicted form factor fits well with the experimental data, particularly ...Go to contribution page

Mrs Olga Driga (SUBATECH (FR))07/07/2012, 18:00Track 6. QCD, Jets, Parton DistributionsPoster SessionsThe success in understanding dynamics of soft particles inside jets relies on calculations of perturbative QCD, impressive accuracy of which have already been tested experimentally. However, the theory predicts, that the inclusive particle spectrum inside jets is independent of a collision energy in the limiting case of zero momentum ( p → 0 ). In order to test this prediction, a systematic...Go to contribution page
