Abstract: This physics book provides detailed discussions on important topics in $\tau$-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.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed study of the expected performance of the ATLAS detector is presented, together with the reconstruction of tracks, leptons, photons, missing energy and jets, along with the performance of b-tagging and the trigger.
Abstract: A detailed study is presented of the expected performance of the ATLAS detector. The reconstruction of tracks, leptons, photons, missing energy and jets is investigated, together with the performance of b-tagging and the trigger. The physics potential for a variety of interesting physics processes, within the Standard Model and beyond, is examined. The study comprises a series of notes based on simulations of the detector and physics processes, with particular emphasis given to the data expected from the first years of operation of the LHC at CERN.

TL;DR: In this article, the decay constant f = 1.2x10{sup -4} at 90% confidence at the CLEO-c detector with good precision was obtained.
Abstract: We examine e{sup +}e{sup -}{yields}D{sub s}{sup -}D{sub s}*{sup +} and D{sub s}*{sup -}D{sub s}{sup +} interactions at 4170 MeV using the CLEO-c detector in order to measure the decay constant f{sub D{sub s}{sup +}} with good precision. Previously our measurements were substantially higher than the most precise lattice based QCD calculation of (241{+-}3) MeV. Here we use the D{sub s}{sup +}{yields}l{sup +}{nu} channel, where the l{sup +} designates either a {mu}{sup +} or a {tau}{sup +}, when the {tau}{sup +}{yields}{pi}{sup +}{nu}. Analyzing both modes independently, we determine B(D{sub s}{sup +}{yields}{mu}{sup +}{nu})=(0.565{+-}0.045{+-}0.017)%, and B(D{sub s}{sup +}{yields}{tau}{sup +}{nu})=(6.42{+-}0.81{+-}0.18)%. We also analyze them simultaneously to find an effective value of B{sup eff}(D{sub s}{sup +}{yields}{mu}{sup +}{nu})=(0.591{+-}0.037{+-}0.018)% and f{sub D{sub s}{sup +}}=(263.3{+-}8.2{+-}3.9) MeV. Combining with the CLEO-c value determined independently using D{sub s}{sup +}{yields}{tau}{sup +}{nu}, {tau}{sup +}{yields}e{sup +}{nu}{nu} decays, we extract f{sub D{sub s}{sup +}}=(259.5{+-}6.6{+-}3.1) MeV. Combining with our previous determination of B(D{sup +}{yields}{mu}{sup +}{nu}), we extract the ratio f{sub D{sub s}{sup +}}/f{sub D{sup +}}=1.26{+-}0.06{+-}0.02. No evidence is found for a CP asymmetry between {gamma}(D{sub s}{sup +}{yields}{mu}{sup +}{nu}) and {gamma}(D{sub s}{sup -}{yields}{mu}{sup -}{nu}); specifically the fractional difference in rates is measured to be (4.8{+-}6.1)%. Finally, we find B(D{sub s}{sup +}{yields}e{sup +}{nu})<1.2x10{sup -4} at 90% confidencemore » level.« less
