"9"8_4_8Cd_5_0 - The two-proton hole spectrum in "1"0"0_5_0Sn_5_0

Excited states in "9"8Cd, two proton holes from "1"0"0Sn, were identified and studied for the first time, using in-beam spectroscopy with highly selective ancillary detectors. The structure of the (#pi#g_9_/_2)"-"2 two proton hole spectrum below a T_1_/_2=0.48(16) #mu#s isomer is deduced and compared to shell model predictions. A tentative I"#pi#=(8"+) assignment, as suggested by systematics, yields a strongly reduced B(E2.8"+#->#6"+)=0.44(_-_1_0"+"2"0) W.u., corresponding to an effective proton charge of #epsilon#_#pi#=0.85(_-_1_0"+"2"0) #epsilon#, which is at variance with existing theoretical predictions.

Recent photoproduction results from ZEUS

Recent results for inclusive jet cross sections, dijet cross sections and dijet angular distributions are compared with NLO perturbative QCD calculations. The observation of isolated high PT photons (prompt photons) is also reported

Event shape analysis of multihadronic final states in deep inelastic rapidity gap events at HERA

A global event shape analysis of the multihadronic final states observed in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) with a large forward rapidity gap (LRG) is performed in the range Q(2) greater than or equal to 5 GeV2, 160 GeV less than or equal to W less than or equal to 250 GeV and eta(max) less than or equal to 1.8. Particular emphasis is paid to the dependence of these variables, measured in the gamma*-pomeron rest frame, upon M-X, the mass of the hadronic final state. With increasing M-X the multihadronic final states become planar. The broadening effects exhibited by the data can be described by including a gluon density in models where the pomeron has a partonic structure or alternatively by considering a direct coupling of the pomeron to quark and gluon pairs

Leading baryons at low x(L) in DIS and photoproduction at ZEUS

Results obtained by the ZEUS collaboration on leading baryon production in the proton fragmentation region are presented. The reaction gamma p --> NX, with N a proton or a neutron, is examined both at low and high photon virtuality

F-2(D(3)) measurements at ZEUS

Results on the diffractive structure function F-2(D(3)) in deep inelastic neutral current positron-proton scattering (DIS) have been obtained by the ZEUS collaboration using two different methods. Diffractive interactions are selected by either requiring a small, not exponentially suppressed invariant hadronic mass M-X in the main detector or by detecting a fast proton in the ZEUS leading proton spectrometer (LPS). The results of the two methods are compared
