The BOSS Lyman-alpha Forest Sample from SDSS Data Release 9
Khee-Gan Lee, Stephen Bailey, Leslie E. Bartsch +50
We present the BOSS Lyman-alpha (Lya) Forest Sample from SDSS Data Release 9, comprising 54,468 quasar spectra with zqso > 2.15 suitable for Lya forest analysis. This data set prob…
Search for a Low-Mass Scalar Higgs Boson Decaying to a Tau Pair in Single-Photon Decays of Upsilon(1S)
J. P. Lees, others
We search for a low-mass scalar CP-odd Higgs boson, A0, produced in the radiative decay of the Upsilon resonance and decaying into a tau+tau- pair: Upsilon(1S)->gamma A0. The produ…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey quasar catalog: ninth data release
Isabelle Pâris, Patrick Petitjean, Eric Aubourg +73
We present the Data Release 9 Quasar (DR9Q) catalog from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III. The catalog includes all BOSS objec…
The branching fraction of tau --> pi- K0S K0S (pi0) nu decays
J. P. Lees
We present a study of tau- --> pi- K0S K0S (pi0) nu and tau- --> K- K0S K0S (pi0) nu decays using a dataset of 430 million tau lepton pairs, corresponding to an integrated luminosi…
The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey of SDSS-III
Kyle S. Dawson, David J. Schlegel, Christopher P. Ahn +162
The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) is designed to measure the scale of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the clustering of matter over a larger volume than the…
The Ninth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey
III Collaboration, Christopher P. Ahn, Rachael Alexandroff +224
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III) presents the first spectroscopic data from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). This ninth data release (DR9) of the SDSS…
Precision Measurement of the B to X_s γPhoton Energy Spectrum, Branching Fraction, and Direct CP Asymmetry A_{CP}(B to X_{s+d}γ
The BaBar Collaboration
The photon spectrum in the inclusive electromagnetic radiative decays of the meson, plus , is studied using a data sample of $(382.8 \pm 4.2) \ti…
Search for resonances decaying to eta_c pi+ pi- in two-photon interactions
The BABAR Collaboration, J. P. Lees, others
We report a study of the process gamma gamma -> X -> eta_c pi+ pi-, where X stands for one of the resonances chi_{c2}(1P), eta_c(2S), X(3872), X(3915), or chi_{c2}(2P). The analysi…
Evidence for an excess of B -> D(*) Tau Nu decays
The BaBar Collaboration
Based on the full BaBar data sample, we report improved measurements of the ratios R(D(*)) = B(B -> D(*) Tau Nu)/B(B -> D(*) l Nu), where l is either e or mu. These ratios are sens…
Image Analysis for Cosmology: Shape Measurement Challenge Review & Results from the Mapping Dark Matter Challenge
T. D. Kitching, J. Rhodes, C. Heymans +12
In this paper we present results from the Mapping Dark Matter competition that expressed the weak lensing shape measurement task in its simplest form and as a result attracted over…
Study of the reaction e^{+}e^{-} -->J/psiπ^{+}π^{-} via initial-state radiation at BaBar
The BABAR Collaboration
We study the process with initial-state-radiation events produced at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy collider. The data were recorded with the BaBar detector…
Measurement of Branching Fractions and Rate Asymmetries in the Rare Decays B -> K(*) l+ l-
The BABAR Collaboration
In a sample of 471 million BB events collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+e- collider we study the rare decays B -> K(*) l+ l-, where l+ l- is either e+e- or mu+mu-. W…
