Study of the Baryon-Antibaryon Low-Mass Enhancements in Charmless Three-body Baryonic B Decays: The angular distributions of the baryon-antibaryon low-mass enhancements seen in the charmless three-body baryonic B decays B+ -> p pbar K+, B0 -> p pbar Ks, and B0 -> p Lambdabar pi- are reported. A quark fragmentation in...

Observation of Two New N* Peaks in J/psi -> $p pi^- \bar n$ and $\bar pπ^+n$ Decays: The $\pi N$ system in decays of $J/\psi\to\bar NN\pi$ is limited to be isospin 1/2 by isospin conservation. This provides a big advantage in studying $N^*\to \pi N$ compared with $\pi N$ and $\gamma N$ experiments which mix isospin 1...

Excess Electronic Recoil Events in XENON1T: We report results from searches for new physics with low-energy electronic recoil data recorded with the XENON1T detector. With an exposure of 0.65 t-y and an unprecedentedly low background rate of $76\pm2$ events/(t y keV) between 1 and 30 keV, the data enables sensitive sea...

Measurement of indirect CP-violating asymmetries in $D^0\to K^+K^-$ and $D^0\to π^+π^-$ decays at CDF: We report a measurement of the indirect CP-violating asymmetries ($A_{\Gamma}$) between effective lifetimes of anticharm and charm mesons reconstructed in $D^0\to K^+ K^-$ and $D^0\to \pi^+\pi^-$ decays. We use the ...

Precision Electroweak Physics at the Z: A review of the decade of Z-pole electroweak physics is presented. Although all experimental work has been completed, it represents a ``Golden Age'' in our understanding of the Minimal Electroweak Standard Model (MSM). The latest (and nearly final) results from the LEP and SLC ex...
