Review of Particle Physics

The Review summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 3,324 new measurements from 878 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons and the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons, and baryons. We summarize searches for hypothetical particles such as supersymmetric particles, heavy bosons, axions, dark photons, etc. Particle properties and search limits are listed in Summary Tables. We give numerous tables, figures, formulae, and reviews of topics such as Higgs Boson Physics, Supersymmetry, Grand Unified Theories, Neutrino Mixing, Dark Energy, Dark Matter, Cosmology, Particle Detectors, Colliders, Probability and Statistics. Among the 120 reviews are many that are new or heavily revised, including a new review on High Energy Soft QCD and Diffraction and one on the Determination of CKM Angles from B Hadrons. The Review is divided into two volumes. Volume 1 includes the Summary Tables and 98 review articles. Volume 2 consists of the Particle Listings and contains also 22 reviews that address specific aspects of the data presented in the Listings. The complete Review (both volumes) is published online on the website of the Particle Data Group (pdg.lbl.gov) and in a journal. Volume 1 is available in print as the PDG Book. A Pariicle Physics Booklet with the Summary Tables and essential tables, figures, and equations from selected review articles is available in print and as a web version optimized for use on phones as well as an Android app.

The CBETA Fractional Arc Test

As part of this development effort, the Cornell-BNL Energy recovery linac Test Accelerator (CBETA) [3], a 4-pass, 150 MeV energy recovery linac (ERL), utilizing a Non-scaling Fixed Field Alternating-gradient (NS-FFA) permanent magnet return loop, is currently under design and construction at Cornell University through the joint collaboration of Brookhaven National Lab (BNL) and the Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator based Sciences and Education (CLASSE). Building on the significant advancements in high-brightness photoelectron sources and SRF technology at Cornell, as well as the FFA magnet and lattice design expertise from BNL, CBETA will establish the operation of a multi-turn SRF based ERL utilizing a compact FFA return loop with large energy acceptance (a factor of roughly 3.6 in energy), and thus demonstrate one possible cost-reduction technology under consideration for the eRHIC design. Moreover, successful completion of the CBETA project requires the study and measurement of many critical phenomena relevant to designing the EIC: the Beam-Breakup (BBU) instability, halo-development and collimation, growth in energy spread from Coherent Synchrotron Radiation (CSR), and CSR micro bunching, and thus should provide valuable insight to the EIC and ERL communities. In order to demonstrate the viability of the CBETA design, the Fractional Arc Test (FAT) was added to the CBETA commissioning sequence.

CBETA Technical Report (CBETA Note #31)

This document includes twelve sections related to the previous Fractional Arc Test (FAT), CBETA final installation plan has which follows the milestones signed in the contract with the New York State Energy Development Authority (NYSERDA). In the second part we provide a plan for final installation, hardware and software preparation and the beam commissioning.

Review of Particle Physics

The Review summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 2,873 new measurements from 758 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons and the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons, and baryons. We summarize searches for hypothetical particles such as supersymmetric particles, heavy bosons, axions, dark photons, etc. Particle properties and search limits are listed in Summary Tables. We give numerous tables, figures, formulae, and reviews of topics such as Higgs Boson Physics, Supersymmetry, Grand Unified Theories, Neutrino Mixing, Dark Energy, Dark Matter, Cosmology, Particle Detectors, Colliders, Probability and Statistics. Here, among the 118 reviews are many that are new or heavily revised, including a new review on Neutrinos in Cosmology.
