First measurement of direct f0(980)f_0(980) photoproduction on the proton

We report on the results of the first measurement of exclusive $f_0(980)$ meson photoproduction on protons for $E_\gamma=3.0 - 3.8$ GeV and $-t = 0.4-1.0$ GeV$^2$. Data were collected with the CLAS detector at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The resonance was detected via its decay in the $\pi^+ \pi^-$ channel by performing a partial wave analysis of the reaction $\gamma p \to p \pi^+ \pi^-$. Clear evidence of the $f_0(980)$ meson was found in the interference between $P$ and $S$ waves at $M_{\pi^+ \pi^-}\sim 1$ GeV. The $S$-wave differential cross section integrated in the mass range of the $f_0(980)$ was found to be a factor of 50 smaller than the cross section for the $\rho$ meson. This is the first time the $f_0(980)$ meson has been measured in a photoproduction experiment

The results of search for the neutrino magnetic moment in GEMMA experiment

The result of the neutrino magnetic moment measurement at the Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) with GEMMA spectrometer is presented. The antineutrino-electron scattering is investigated. A high-purity germanium detector with a mass of 1.5kg placed at a distance of 13.9m from the 3 G W t h reactor core is exposed to the antineutrino flux of 2 . 7 Oe 1 0 1 3 1/cm2/s. The recoil electron spectra taken in 18134 and 4487 hours for the reactor ON and OFF periods are compared. The upper limit for the neutrino magnetic moment g g - < 2 . 9 Oe 1 0 -' 1 1 g g at 90% C.L. is derived from the data processing

The cluster states in light nuclei

The differential cross-sections of the elastic and inelastic α +11B scattering was measured at E(α) = 29 MeV. The analysis of the data by Modified Diffraction Model (MDM) showed that the root-mean- square (RMS) radius of the 11B state 3/2-, E* = 8.56 MeV is ~ 0.5 fm larger than that of the ground state. It is found that the radius of 3/2- (8.56 MeV) state in the 11B nucleus is close to the radii of the Hoyle state in 12C
