TL;DR: The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) as discussed by the authors is a massively multiplexed fiber-fed spectrograph that will make the next major advance in dark energy in the timeframe 2018-2022 on the Mayall telescope.

TL;DR: The LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC) as discussed by the authors is an analytical framework for dark energy and related topics in fundamental physics with data from the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST).

TL;DR: A new high-statistics measurement of the cross section for the process and general agreement is found with unitarized models of the {gamma}{gamma}r arrow}{pi}{sup +}{pi},sup {minus}} reaction that include final-state interactions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the amplitude of the CP asymmetry is derived from the decay-time distributions in such events, which is consistent with the standard model expectation of no direct CP violation in these modes.

TL;DR: The BaBar detector operated successfully at the PEP-II asymmetric e + e-collider at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory from 1999 to 2008 as mentioned in this paper, and the performance of the collider and the detector systems, as well as the trigger, online and offline computing, and aspects of event reconstruction since the beginning of data taking.
