Structural and superconducting properties in LaFeAs1-xSbxO1-yFy
We report the antimony (Sb) doping effect in a prototype system of iron-based
supercon-ductors LaFeAsO1-yFy (y=0, 0.1, 0.15). X-ray powder diffraction
indicates that the lattice pa-rameters increase with Sb content within the
doping limit. Rietveld structural refinements show that, with the partial
substitution of Sb for As, while the thickness of the Fe2As2 layers increases
significantly, that of the La2O2 layers shrinks simultaneously. So a negative
chemical pressure is indeed "applied" to the superconducting-active Fe2As2
layers, in con-trast to the effect of positive chemical pressure by the
phosphorus doping. Electrical resis-tance and magnetic susceptibility
measurements indicate that, while the Sb doping hardly influences the SDW
anomaly in LaFeAsO, it recovers SDW order for the optimally-doped sample of
y=0.1. In the meantime, the superconducting transition temperature can be
raised up to 30 K in LaFeAs1-xSbxO1-yFy with x=0.1 and y=0.15. The Sb doping
effects are discussed in term of both J1-J2 model and Fermi Surface (FS)
nesting scenario.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, 1 table. to be published in Science in China

Search for Light Weakly-Interacting-Massive-Particle Dark Matter by Annual Modulation Analysis with a Point-Contact Germanium Detector at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory
We present results on light weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP)
searches with annual modulation (AM) analysis on data from a 1-kg mass -type
point-contact germanium detector of the CDEX-1B experiment at the China Jinping
Underground Laboratory. Datasets with a total live time of 3.2 yr within a 4.2
yr span are analyzed with analysis threshold of 250 eVee. Limits on
WIMP-nucleus (-) spin-independent cross sections as function of WIMP
mass () at 90\% confidence level (C.L.) are derived using the dark
matter halo model. Within the context of the standard halo model, the 90\% C.L.
allowed regions implied by the DAMA/LIBRA and CoGeNT AM-based analysis are
excluded at 99.99\% and 98\% C.L., respectively. These results correspond to
the best sensitivity at 6 among WIMP AM
measurements to date.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Constraints on Spin-Independent Nucleus Scattering with sub-GeV Weakly Interacting Massive Particle Dark Matter from the CDEX-1B Experiment at the China Jin-Ping Laboratory
We report results on the searches of weakly interacting massive particles
(WIMPs) with sub-GeV masses () via WIMP-nucleus spin-independent
scattering with Migdal effect incorporated. Analysis on time-integrated (TI)
and annual modulation (AM) effects on CDEX-1B data are performed, with 737.1
kgday exposure and 160 eVee threshold for TI analysis, and 1107.5
kgday exposure and 250 eVee threshold for AM analysis. The sensitive
windows in are expanded by an order of magnitude to lower DM masses
with Migdal effect incorporated. New limits on at
90\% confidence level are derived as 1010
for TI analysis at 50180 MeV/, and
1010 for AM analysis at
75 MeV/3.0 GeV/.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Limits on Light Weakly Interacting Massive Particles from the First 102.8 kg day Data of the CDEX-10 Experiment
We report the first results of a light weakly interacting massive particles
(WIMPs) search from the CDEX-10 experiment with a 10 kg germanium detector
array immersed in liquid nitrogen at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory
with a physics data size of 102.8 kg day. At an analysis threshold of 160 eVee,
improved limits of 8 and 3 cm at a
90\% confidence level on spin-independent and spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon cross
sections, respectively, at a WIMP mass () of 5 GeV/ are
achieved. The lower reach of is extended to 2 GeV/.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
New measurement of via neutron capture on hydrogen at Daya Bay
This article reports an improved independent measurement of neutrino mixing
angle at the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment. Electron
antineutrinos were identified by inverse -decays with the emitted
neutron captured by hydrogen, yielding a data-set with principally distinct
uncertainties from that with neutrons captured by gadolinium. With the final
two of eight antineutrino detectors installed, this study used 621 days of data
including the previously reported 217-day data set with six detectors. The
dominant statistical uncertainty was reduced by 49%. Intensive studies of the
cosmogenic muon-induced Li and fast neutron backgrounds and the
neutron-capture energy selection efficiency, resulted in a reduction of the
systematic uncertainty by 26%. The deficit in the detected number of
antineutrinos at the far detectors relative to the expected number based on the
near detectors yielded in the
three-neutrino-oscillation framework. The combination of this result with the
gadolinium-capture result is also reported.Comment: 26 pages, 23 figure
Physics at BES-III
This physics book provides detailed discussions on important topics in
-charm physics that will be explored during the next few years at \bes3 .
Both theoretical and experimental issues are covered, including extensive
reviews of recent theoretical developments and experimental techniques. Among
the subjects covered are: innovations in Partial Wave Analysis (PWA),
theoretical and experimental techniques for Dalitz-plot analyses, analysis
tools to extract absolute branching fractions and measurements of decay
constants, form factors, and CP-violation and \DzDzb-oscillation parameters.
Programs of QCD studies and near-threshold tau-lepton physics measurements are
also discussed.Comment: Edited by Kuang-Ta Chao and Yi-Fang Wan
