The χ(b)(nP) quarkonium states are produced in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider at sqrt[s] = 7  TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector. Using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.4  fb(-1), these states are reconstructed through their radiative decays to Υ(1S,2S) with Υ → μ+ μ-. In addition to the mass peaks corresponding to the decay modes χ(b)(1P,2P) → Υ(1S)γ, a new structure centered at a mass of 10.530 ± 0.005(stat) ± 0.009(syst)  GeV is also observed, in both the Υ(1S)γ and Υ(2S)γ decay modes. This structure is interpreted as the χ(b)(3P) system.

We report the results of a search for T, CP, CPT, and violation in B0-B0 mixing using an inclusive dilepton sample collected by the BABAR experiment at the PEP-II factory. Using a sample of 232 x 10(6) BB pairs, we measure the T and CP violation parameter |q/p| - 1 = (-0.8 +/- 2.7(stat) +/- 1.9(syst) x 10(-3), and the CPT and CP parameters Imz = (13.9 +/- 7.3(stat) +/- 3.2(syst)) x 10(-3) and Delta Gamma x Rez = (7.1 +/- 3.9(stat) +/- 2.0(stat)) x 10(-3) ps(-1). The statistical correlation between the measurements of Imz and Delta Gamma x Rez is 76%.

We present a measurement of the cross section of the process e(+)e(-)-->pi(+)pi(-)psi(2S) from threshold up to 8 GeV center-of-mass energy using events containing initial-state radiation, produced at the SLAC PEP-II e(+)e(-) storage rings. The study is based on 298 fb(-1) of data recorded with the BABAR detector. A structure is observed in the cross section not far above threshold, near 4.32 GeV. We also investigate the compatibility of this structure with the Y(4260) previously reported by this experiment.

We conducted interviews with 256 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients who attended an HIV clinic in New York City to assess ongoing risk behaviors for HIV transmission. After learning that the result of an HIV test was positive, 106 subjects (41%) had unprotected sex, 63 (25%) had a new sexually transmitted disease diagnosis, and 38 (15%) used injection drugs. Unprotected sex was reported by 50% of women, 29% of heterosexual men (P=.006, compared with women), and 42% of men who have sex with men, and it was reported more often by persons with a history of trading sex for money or drugs (P<.001). In multivariate analysis, unprotected sex was associated with a history of trading sex for money or drugs (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 4.0; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.2-7.0) and use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (AOR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.1-3.1). Ongoing risk-reduction counseling and substance abuse treatment for HIV-infected persons are needed to reduce behaviors associated with HIV transmission.
