TL;DR: In this paper, a new CDC readout scheme utilizing a Charge-to-Time conversion (QTC) technique and multi-hit TDC to record both time and charge information was proposed.
Abstract: We tested a new CDC readout scheme utilizing a Charge-to-Time conversion (QTC) technique and multi-hit TDC to record both time and charge information. The new scheme is planned to be used in the BELLE experiment at the KEK B-Factory. We built a prototype Shaper/QTC board and examined the performance with a beam test. This new scheme worked successfully. We obtained the same spatial and dEdx resolutions as those using an ordinary TDC and ADC readout scheme.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the design and construction of the cathode image readout section of the BELLE detector's central drift chamber, which is used for measurements of charged particle trajectory coordinates along the beam axis and the charged-track trigger.
Abstract: We report on the design and construction of the cathode image readout section of the BELLE detector's central drift chamber. The cathode information is used for measurements of charged particle trajectory coordinates along the beam axis and the charged-track trigger. The performance is evaluated with cosmic rays using the BELLE standard readout electronics and software. The detection efficiency in nominal conditions is found to exceed 98% and the position resolution for normal incidence is about 350 μm, which satisfies the design goals of the BELLE detector.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors described the mapping of the magnetic field of the Belle detector's large superconducting solenoid with an ultrasonic motor located in the strong magnetic field.
Abstract: The mapping of the magnetic field of the Belle detector's large superconducting solenoid is described. The mapping was done with the accelerator magnets located inside the Belle solenoid excited to their nominal field values. To cope with geometrical constraints, we developed a novel moving mechanism for the field probes that uses an ultrasonic motor located in the strong magnetic field.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report world averages of measurements of b-hadron, c-, c-, and tau-lepton properties obtained by the Heavy Flavor Averaging Group (HFAG) using results available through the end of 2011.
Abstract: This article reports world averages of measurements of b-hadron, c-hadron, and tau-lepton properties obtained by the Heavy Flavor Averaging Group (HFAG) using results available through the end of 2011. In some cases results available in the early part of 2012 are included. For the averaging, common input parameters used in the various analyses are adjusted (rescaled) to common values, and known correlations are taken into account. The averages include branching fractions, lifetimes, neutral meson mixing parameters, CP violation parameters, parameters of semileptonic decays and CKM matrix elements.

TL;DR: Recently, a variety of QCD inspired phenomenological models have been proposed, such as meson-gluon hybrids and pentaquark baryons that contain heavy (charm or bottom) quarks as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the generally accepted theory for strong interactions, describes the interactions between quarks and gluons. The strongly interacting particles that are seen in nature are hadrons, which are composites of quarks and gluons. Since QCD is a strongly coupled theory at distance scales that are characteristic of observable hadrons, there are no rigorous, first-principle methods to derive the spectrum and properties of the hadrons from the QCD Lagrangian, except for lattice QCD simulations that are not yet able to cope with all aspects of complex and short-lived states. Instead, a variety of “QCD inspired” phenomenological models have been proposed. Common features of these models are predictions for the existence of hadrons with substructures that are more complex than the standard quark-antiquark mesons and the three-quark baryons of the original quark model that provides a concise description of most of the low-mass hadrons. Recently, an assortment of candidates for nonstandard multiquark mesons, meson-gluon hybrids, and pentaquark baryons that contain heavy (charm or bottom) quarks has been discovered. Here the experimental evidence for these states is reviewed and some general comparisons of their measured properties with standard quark model expectations and predictions of various models for nonstandard hadrons are made. The conclusion is that the spectroscopy of all but the simplest hadrons is not yet understood.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the theoretical understanding of this sector of particle physics phenomenology and present some considerations attempting a coherent description of the so called X and Z resonances.
Abstract: Multiquark resonances are undoubtedly experimentally observed The number of states and the amount of details on their properties has been growing over the years It is very recent the discovery of two pentaquarks and the confirmation of four tetraquarks, two of which had not been observed before We mainly review the theoretical understanding of this sector of particle physics phenomenology and present some considerations attempting a coherent description of the so called X and Z resonances The prominent problems plaguing theoretical models, like the absence of selection rules limiting the number of states predicted, motivate new directions in model building Data are reviewed going through all of the observed resonances with particular attention to their common features and the purpose of providing a starting point to further research
