New Results From CLEO and BES
Latest experimental results from BES in the charmonium mass region, and those
from CLEO in the bottomonium and charmonium spectroscopy are reviewed.Comment: 12 pages, 12 figures, Presented at First Meeting of the APS Topical

Intrabeam Scattering Studies at CesrTA
Intrabeam scattering (IBS) limits the emittance and single-bunch current that
can be achieved in electron or positron storage ring colliders, damping rings,
and light sources. Much theoretical work on IBS exists, and while the theories
have been validated in hadron and ion machines, the presence of strong damping
makes IBS in lepton machines a different phenomenon. We present the results of
measurements at CesrTA of IBS dominated beams, and compare the data with
theory. The beams we study have parameters typical of those specified for the
next generation of wiggler dominated storage rings: low emittance, small bunch
length, and few GeV energy. Our measurements are in good agreement with IBS
theory, provided a tail-cut procedure is applied.Comment: 14 pages, 15 figure
Properties of the a1 Meson from Lattice QCD
We determine the mass and decay constant of the meson using Monte Carlo
simulation of lattice QCD. We find MeV and , in good agreement with experiment.Comment: 9 page uu-encoded compressed postscript file. version appearing in

Axial Vector Charmonium and Bottomonium Hybrid Mass Predictions with QCD Sum-Rules
Axial vector charmonium and bottomonium hybrid masses are
determined via QCD Laplace sum-rules. Previous sum-rule studies in this channel
did not incorporate the dimension-six gluon condensate, which has been shown to
be important for and heavy quark hybrids. An updated analysis
of axial vector charmonium and bottomonium hybrids is presented, including the
effects of the dimension-six gluon condensate. The axial vector charmonium and
bottomonium hybrid masses are predicted to be 5.13 GeV and 11.32 GeV,
respectively. We discuss the implications of this result for the
charmonium-like XYZ states and the charmonium hybrid multiplet structure
observed in recent lattice calculations.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures. Updated to match published versio
The Electromagnetic Mass Differences of Pions and Kaons
We use the Cottingham method to calculate the pion and kaon electromagnetic
mass differences with as few model dependent inputs as possible. The
constraints of chiral symmetry at low energy, QCD at high energy and
experimental data in between are used in the dispersion relation. We find
excellent agreement with experiment for the pion mass difference. The kaon mass
difference exhibits a strong violation of the lowest order prediction of
Dashen's theorem, in qualitative agreement with several other recent
calculations.Comment: 40 pages, Latex, needs axodraw. and psfig. macros, 4 figure
