We report the latest results on the top-quark mass and on the top-antitop mass difference from the CDF and D0 collaborations using data collected at the Fermilab Tevatron $p\bar{p}$ collider at $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV. We discuss general issues in top-quark mass measurements and present new results from direct measurements and from top-pair production cross-section. We also report new results on the top-antitop mass difference.
We explore the Ziptronix Direct Bond Interconnect technology for the integration of sensors and readout integrated circuits (ROICs) for high energy physics. The technology utilizes an oxide bond to form a robust mechanical connection between layers which serves to assist with the formation of metallic interlayer connections. We report on testing results of sample sensors bonded to ROICs and thinned to 100 microns.
Results are reported on the transverse target-spin asymmetry associated with deeply virtual Compton scattering on the proton, extracted from the data accumulated by the HERMES experiment in the years 2002-2004. By comparing the HERMES results and theoretical predications based on a phenomenological model of generalized parton distributions, a model-dependent constraint on the total angular momentum carried by quarks in the nucleon is obtained.
Measurements of deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) made at HERMES using 27.6 GeV $e^\pm$ beams and various internal polarized or unpolarized gaseous targets are discussed. Results are reported on the transverse target-spin asymmetry (TTSA) associated with DVCS, extracted from data accumulated in 2002-2004 with the $e^+$ beam on a transversely polarized hydrogen target. TTSA amplitudes leading in twist and $α_S$ are given as a function of $-t$, $x_B$ and $Q^2$ in the kinematic range $|t|<0.7$ GeV$^2$, $0.03<x_B<0.35$ and $1<Q^2<10$ GeV$^2$. Theoretical predictions based on a phenomenological model of generalized parton distributions (GPDs) agree with the experimental results. With additional statistics accumulated in 2005, one may constrain the $u$-quark total angular momentum in the nucleon within this model.
