Measurement of time-dependent CP violation parameters in B0→K0SK0SK0S decays at Belle

We measure the time-dependent CP violation parameters in B-0 -> (KSKSKS0)-K-0-K-0 decays using 772 x 10(6)B (B) over bar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) collider. The obtained mixing-induced and direct CP asymmetries are -0.71 +/- 0.23 (stat) +/- 0.05 (syst) and 0.12 +/- 0.16 (stat) +/- 0.05 (syst), respectively. These values are consistent with the Standard Model predictions.

Test of Lepton-Flavor Universality in BK^{*}ℓ^{+}ℓ^{-} Decays at Belle

We present a measurement of RK , the branching fraction ratio BðB → K μþμ−Þ=BðB → K eþe−Þ, for both charged and neutral B mesons. The ratio for the charged case RK þ is the first measurement ever performed. In addition, we report absolute branching fractions for the individual modes in bins of the squared dilepton invariant mass q2. The analysis is based on a data sample of 711 fb−1, containing 772 × 106 BB¯ events, recorded at the ϒð4SÞ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetricenergy eþe− collider.

An improved search for the electric dipole moment of the τ lepton

We report a measurement of the electric dipole moment of the tau lepton (d(tau)) using an 833 fb(-1) data sample collected near the Upsilon(4S) resonance, with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) collider. Using an optimal observable method, we obtain the real and imaginary parts of d(tau) as Re(d(tau)) = (-0.62 +/- 0.63) x 10(-17) ecm and Im(d(tau)) = (-0.40 +/- 0.32) x 10(-17) ecm, respectively. These results are consistent with null electric dipole moment at the present level of experimental sensitivity and improve the sensitivity by about a factor of three.We thank the KEKB group for the excellent operation of the accelerator; the KEK cryogenics group for the efficient operation of the solenoid; and the KEK computer group, and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) computing group for strong computing support; and the National Institute of Informatics, and Science Information NETwork 5 (SINET5) for valuable network support.

First search for the ηc2(1D) in B decays at Belle

The first dedicated search for the ηc2(1D) is carried out using the decays B+→ ηc2(1D)K+, B0 → ηc2(1D)K0S, B0→ ηc2(1D)π−K+, and B+→ ηc2(1D)π+K0S with ηc2(1D) → hcγ. No significant signal is found. For the ηc2(1D) mass range between 3795 and 3845 MeV/c2, the branching-fraction upper limits are determined to be ℬ(B+→ ηc2(1D)K+) × ℬ(ηc2(1D) → hcγ) < 3.7 × 10−5, ℬ(B0→ ηc2(1D)K0) × ℬ(ηc2(1D) → hcγ) < 3.5 × 10−5, ℬ(B0→ ηc2(1D)π−K+) × ℬ(ηc2(1D) → hcγ) < 1.0 × 10−4, and ℬ(B+→ ηc2(1D)π+K0S) × ℬ(ηc2(1D) → hcγ) < 1.1 × 10−4 at 90% C.L.

Update of inclusive cross sections of single and pairs of identified light charged hadrons

We report new measurements of the production cross sections of pairs of charged pions and kaons as a function of their fractional energies using various fractional-energy definitions. Two different fractional-energy definitions were used and compared to the conventional fractional-energy definition reported previously. The new variables aim at either identifying dihadron cross sections in terms of single-hadron fragmentation functions, or to provide a means of characterizing the transverse momentum created in the fragmentation process. The results were obtained applying the updated initial-state radiation correction used in other recent Belle publications on light-hadron production cross sections. In addition, production cross sections of single charged pions, kaons, and protons were also updated using this initial-state radiation correction. The cross sections are obtained from a 558 fb(-1) data sample collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) collider.We thank the KEKB group for the excellent operation of the accelerator; the KEK cryogenics group for the efficient operation of the solenoid; and the KEK computer group, and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory computing group for strong computing support; and the National Institute of Informatics, and Science Information NETwork 5 for valuable network support.

Observation of TransverseΛ= ̄ΛHyperon Polarization ine+e−Annihilation at Belle

We report the first observation of the spontaneous polarization of Lambda and (Lambda) over bar hyperons transverse to the production plane in e(+)e(-) annihilation, which is attributed to the effect arising from a polarizing fragmentation function. For inclusive Lambda/(Lambda) over bar production, we also report results with subtracted feed-down contributions from Sigma(0) and charm. This measurement uses a dataset of 800.4 fb(-1) collected by the Belle experiment at or near a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV. We observe a significant polarization that rises with the fractional energy carried by the Lambda/(Lambda) over bar hyperon.We thank the KEKB group for the excellent operation of the accelerator; the KEK cryogenics group for the efficient operation of the solenoid; and the KEK computer group, and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) computing group for strong computing support; and the National Institute of Informatics, and Science Information NETwork 5 (SINET5) for valuable network support.

Measurement of B(Bs→DsX) with Bs semileptonic tagging

[EN] We report the first direct measurement of the inclusive branching fraction B(B-s -> DsX) via B-s tagging in e(+)e(-) -> gamma(5S) events. Tagging is accomplished through a partial reconstruction of semileptonic decays B-s -> D(s)Xl nu, where X denotes unreconstructed additional hadrons or photons and l is an electron or muon. With 121.4 fb(-1) of data collected at the gamma(5S) resonance by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) collider, we obtain B(B-s -> DsX) = (60.2 +/- 5.8 +/- 2.3)%, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic.We thank the KEKB group for the excellent operation of the accelerator; the KEK cryogenics group for the efficient operation of the solenoid; and the KEK computer group, and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) computing group for strong computing support; and the National Institute of Informatics, and Science Information NETwork 5 (SINET5) for valuable network support.

Biologically Inspired Approaches to Automated Feature Extraction and Target Recognition

Ongoing research at Boston University has produced computational models of biological vision and learning that embody a growing corpus of scientific data and predictions. Vision models perform long-range grouping and figure/ground segmentation, and memory models create attentionally controlled recognition codes that intrinsically cornbine botton-up activation and top-down learned expectations. These two streams of research form the foundation of novel dynamically integrated systems for image understanding. Simulations using multispectral images illustrate road completion across occlusions in a cluttered scene and information fusion from incorrect labels that are simultaneously inconsistent and correct. The CNS Vision and Technology Labs (cns.bu.edulvisionlab and cns.bu.edu/techlab) are further integrating science and technology through analysis, testing, and development of cognitive and neural models for large-scale applications, complemented by software specification and code distribution.Air Force Office of Scientific Research (F40620-01-1-0423); National Geographic-Intelligence Agency (NMA 201-001-1-2016); National Science Foundation (SBE-0354378; BCS-0235298); Office of Naval Research (N00014-01-1-0624); National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the National Society of Siegfried Martens (NMA 501-03-1-2030, DGE-0221680); Department of Homeland Security graduate fellowshi
