TL;DR: The first flavor-tagged amplitude analysis of the decay of the CLEO II.V, CLEO III, and CLEO-c detectors is presented in this article, where the three most significant amplitudes contribute to the model that best fits the data.
Abstract: The first flavor-tagged amplitude analysis of the decay ${D}^{0}$ to the self-conjugate final state ${K}^{+}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ is presented. Approximately 3000 signal decays are selected from data acquired by the CLEO II.V, CLEO III, and CLEO-c detectors. The three most significant amplitudes, which contribute to the model that best fits the data, are $\ensuremath{\phi}{\ensuremath{\rho}}^{0}$, ${K}_{1}(1270{)}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}{K}^{\ensuremath{\mp}}$, and nonresonant ${K}^{+}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$. Separate amplitude analyses of ${D}^{0}$ and ${\overline{D}}^{0}$ candidates indicate no $CP$ violation among the amplitudes at the level of 5% to 30% depending on the mode. In addition, the sensitivity to the $CP$-violating parameter $\ensuremath{\gamma}/{\ensuremath{\phi}}_{3}$ from a sample of 2000 ${B}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\stackrel{\texttildelow{}}{D}}^{0}({K}^{+}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}){K}^{+}$ decays, where $\stackrel{\texttildelow{}}{D}$ is a ${D}^{0}$ or ${\overline{D}}^{0}$, collected at LHCb or a future flavor facility, is estimated to be $(11.3\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.3)\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}$ using the favored model.

TL;DR: In this paper, a search for the t-channel exchange of an R-parity violating scalar top quark ((t) over tilde) in the e(+/-)mu(-/+) continuum using 2.1 fb(-1) of data collected by the ATLAS detector in root s = 7 TeV pp collisions at the Large Hadron Collider is presented.
Abstract: This paper presents a search for the t-channel exchange of an R-parity violating scalar top quark ((t) over tilde) in the e(+/-)mu(-/+) continuum using 2.1 fb(-1) of data collected by the ATLAS detector in root s = 7 TeV pp collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. Data are found to be consistent with the expectation from the Standard Model backgrounds. Limits on R-parity-violating couplings at 95 % C.L. are calculated as a function of the scalar top mass (m((t) over tilde)). The upper limits on the production cross section for pp -> e mu X, through the t-channel exchange of a scalar top quark, ranges from 170 fb for m((t) over tilde) = 95 GeV to 30 fb for m((t) over tilde) = 1000 GeV.
