Bose-Einstein correlations between identified charged pions are measured for $p$+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=5.02$ TeV using data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of $28$ $\mathrm{nb}^{-1}$. Pions are identified using ionization energy loss measured in the pixel detector. Two-particle correlation functions and the extracted source radii are presented as a function of collision centrality as well as the average transverse momentum ($k_{\mathrm{T}}$) and rapidity ($y^{\star}_{\pi\pi}$) of the pair. Pairs are selected with a rapidity $-2<y^{\star}_{\pi\pi}<1$ and with an average transverse momentum $0.1<k_{\mathrm{T}}<0.8$ GeV. The effect of jet fragmentation on the two-particle correlation function is studied, and a method using opposite-charge pair data to constrain its contributions to the measured correlations is described. The measured source sizes are substantially larger in more central collisions and are observed to decrease with increasing pair $k_{\mathrm{T}}$. A correlation of the radii with the local charged-particle density is demonstrated. The scaling of the extracted radii with the mean number of participating nucleons is also used to compare a selection of initial-geometry models. The cross-term $R_\mathrm{ol}$ is measured as a function of rapidity, and a nonzero value is observed with $5.1\sigma$ combined significance for $-1<y^{\star}_{\pi\pi}<1$ in the most central events.
A report from the SUNY Albany Particle Physics Group summarizing our activities on the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. We summarize our work: on data analysis projects, on efforts to improve detector performance, and on service work to the experiment.
The CLEO detector at the CESR collider has used 13.7 fb to search for the production of Ω0c (css-ground state) in e e collisions at √ s ≃ 10.6 GeV. The modes used to study the Ω0c are Ω π, Ωππ, ΞKππ, ΞKπ, and Ωπππ. We observe 40.4 ± 9.0(stat) combined events at a mass of 2694.6 ± 2.6(stat) ± 2.4(syst) MeV/c. We have also measured the σ · Br of the above modes for scaled momentum xp > 0.5 to be 11.3 ± 3.9 ± 2.3 fb, 47.6 ± 18.0 ± 2.8 fb, 45.1 ± 23.2 ± 4.1 fb, 18.2 ± 10.6 ± 3.8 fb, and < 5.1 fb @ 90 % CL, respectively. The results described here are all preliminary. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The measurement of the. meson production in (d) over right arrow + d -> He-4 + eta reaction has been performed at the Big Karl magnetic spectograph at COSY synchrotron in Julich. The vector and tensor polarized deuetron beam at the excess energy of Q=16 MeV was used. The preliminary results for the unpolarized cross section are presented here.
