11. (Cancelled, M. Kozlov covered some of the material) Overview of the electron EDM experiments

N. Shafer-Ray (Oklahoma Univ.)

10/10/2006, 09:00

The experiment responsible for the current limit on the electron's electric dipole moment is described. A very brief overview of the many current efforts to push this limit is presented. Efforts underway at the University of Oklahoma to exploit the unique magnetic properties of PbF are described with a particular emphasis on the development of new resonant enhanced multiphoton...

14. Measuring the Muon Anomaly to 0.25 ppm

J. Miller (Boston)

A proposal has been approved at the BNL AGS to improve upon the muon magnetic anomaly measurement uncertainty by a factor of two, to 0.25 ppm. The current experimental value differs from the theoretical value by about 3 standard deviations. This suggests the possibility of new physics, and an increased data set could make the comparison between theory and experiment more definitive.

15. Evaluation of the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon g-2

Andreas Hoecker (CERN)

10/10/2006, 11:40

The contribution from hadronic vacuum polarization to the muon anomalous magnetic moment is calculated with a dispersion relation using experimental data and perturbative QCD as input. Its uncertainty is presently limiting the Standard Model prediction, and is of the same order as the experimental error on g-2. The state of the art of the calculation is discussed and perpectives...

16. Hadrons at VEPP-2M

S. Redin (Novosibirsk)

The Budker Institute (Novosibirsk, Russia) is mostly dedicated to physics in $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ colliders at relatively low energy. The VEPP-2M collider operated in 1992- 2000 at s = 0.36 to 1.4 GeV region and provided high luminosity for detectors CMD-2 and SND. High level of collected statistics as well as careful design, construction and operation of the detectors, and data...

17. e+e- Hadronic Cross Section measurement at DAFNE with the KLOE detector

Debora Leone (Karlsruhe)

10/10/2006, 12:40

At the Frascati phi-factory DAFNE the pion form factor is measured by means of the "radiative return", i.e. by using events in which one of the collider electrons (positrons) has radiated an initial state radiation photon (ISR), lowering in such a way the invariant mass M(pi pi) of the two-pion-system. In a recent publication of the KLOE collaboration the initial state radiation...
