Unconventional magnetic phase diagram of cuprate superconductor La2-xSrxCuO4 at quantum critical point x = 1/9
We propose a new magnetic phase diagram of La2-xSrxCuO4 around a quantum
critical point x = 1/9 based on field-cooled magnetization measurements and
critical fittings. A new phase boundary Tm2(H) is discovered which buries
deeply below the first order vortex melting line in the vortex solid phase. The
coupling between superconductivity and antiferromagnetism is found to be
attractive below Tm2(H) while repulsive above. The attractive coupling between
superconducting order and static antiferromagnetic order provides compelling
experimental evidence that the antiferromagnetism microscopically coexists and
collaborates with the high temperature superconductivity in cuprates.Comment: 17 pages, 4 figure
In-plane and Out-of-plane Plasma Resonances in Optimally Doped La1.84Sr0.16CuO4
We addressed the inconsistency between the electron mass anisotropy ratios
determined by the far-infrared experiments and DC conductivity measurements. By
eliminating possible sources of error and increasing the sensitivity and
resolution in the far-infrared reflectivity measurement on the single
crystalline and on the polycrystalline La1.84Sr0.16CuO4, we have unambiguously
identified that the source of the mass anisotropy problem is in the estimation
of the free electron density involved in the charge transport and
superconductivity. In this study we found that only 2.8 % of the total
doping-induced charge density is itinerant at optimal doping. Our result not
only resolves the mass anisotropy puzzle but also points to a novel electronic
structure formed by the rest of the electrons that sets the stage for the high
temperature superconductivity
Measurements of J/psi Decays into 2(pi+pi-)eta and 3(pi+pi-)eta
Based on a sample of 5.8X 10^7 J/psi events taken with the BESII detector,
the branching fractions of J/psi--> 2(pi+pi-)eta and J/psi-->3(pi+pi-)eta are
measured for the first time to be (2.26+-0.08+-0.27)X10^{-3} and
(7.24+-0.96+-1.11)X10^{-4}, respectively.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figure
BESII Detector Simulation
A Monte Carlo program based on Geant3 has been developed for BESII detector
simulation. The organization of the program is outlined, and the digitization
procedure for simulating the response of various sub-detectors is described.
Comparisons with data show that the performance of the program is generally
satisfactory.Comment: 17 pages, 14 figures, uses elsart.cls, to be submitted to NIM
Measurement of branching fractions for the inclusive Cabibbo-favored ~K*0(892) and Cabibbo-suppressed K*0(892) decays of neutral and charged D mesons
The branching fractions for the inclusive Cabibbo-favored ~K*0 and
Cabibbo-suppressed K*0 decays of D mesons are measured based on a data sample
of 33 pb-1 collected at and around the center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with
the BES-II detector at the BEPC collider. The branching fractions for the
decays D+(0) -> ~K*0(892)X and D0 -> K*0(892)X are determined to be BF(D0 ->
\~K*0X) = (8.7 +/- 4.0 +/- 1.2)%, BF(D+ -> ~K*0X) = (23.2 +/- 4.5 +/- 3.0)% and
BF(D0 -> K*0X) = (2.8 +/- 1.2 +/- 0.4)%. An upper limit on the branching
fraction at 90% C.L. for the decay D+ -> K*0(892)X is set to be BF(D+ -> K*0X)
< 6.6%

Measurements of the observed cross sections for exclusive light hadron production in e^+e^- annihilation at \sqrt{s}= 3.773 and 3.650 GeV
By analyzing the data sets of 17.3 pb taken at GeV
and 6.5 pb taken at GeV with the BESII detector at the
BEPC collider, we have measured the observed cross sections for 12 exclusive
light hadron final states produced in annihilation at the two energy
points. We have also set the upper limits on the observed cross sections and
the branching fractions for decay to these final states at 90%

Direct Measurement of the Pseudoscalar Decay Constant fD+
The absolute branching fraction of has been directly
measured by an analysis of a data sample of about 33 collected

meson is produced in pair as . A total of mesons are reconstructed from this data set. In the
recoil side of the tagged mesons, purely leptonic decay
events of are observed. This yields a branching fraction of
