Particle identification by ionization measurements: Description of the CLEO dEdx system
Abstract We describe the design, construction and performance of a pressurized proportional chamber system intended to identify particles by means of their energy loss in thin gas samples. The system is part of the CLEO detector at the Cornell Electron-Positron Storage Ring (CESR).

Leptonic and Semileptonic Decays from CLEO‐c
The CLEO‐c measurement of the purely leptonic decay rate D+ → μ+v determines the value of the pseudoscalar decay constant fD+ = (222.6 ± 16.7−3.4+2.8) MeV, allowing for a precision test of strong interaction theories. Semileptonic decay branching ratios are also summarized.

Prospects for B-Physics in the Next Decade
In these lectures I review what has been learned from studies of b-quark decays, including semileptonic decays (V ub and V cb ), \({{B}^{0}} - {{\bar{B}}^{0}}\) mixing and rare B decays. Then a discussion on CP violation follows, which leads to a summary of plans for future experiments and what is expected to be learned from them.

Future of Heavy Flavour Physics: Experimental Perspective
I discuss what measurements need to be done to search for physics beyond the Standard CKM model, rather than just what studies can be done in the near future. It is also important to accurately measure the CKM matrix elements. Current best estimates for two important elements are: jVcbj=0 :03810:0021 andjVub=Vcbj=0 :0850:019. Finally, future experiments are discussed.

The discovery of the B mesons
In 1983 the CLEO collaboration first, fully reconstructed B meson decays. I describe here what was done and how these procedures have evolved.

GRID DRIVEN POWER AMPLIFIER FOR MARK I MTA ACCELERATOR
A driven power amplifier r-f system was installed on thc Mark I linear accelerator for Run No. 10. The system, which used RCA A-2332 superpower, shield- grid triodes as final power amplifiers, is described. Problems associated with the initial excitation of the cavity and the techniques used to solve them are discussed. (auth)

MARK I MTA LINEAR ACCELERATOR RUN NO. 3
Experimental operation of Mark I from July 29 through Sept. 24, 1952 is reported. During the preceding two months shutdown, spark-damaged drift tubes No. 0, 1, and 2 were repaired and chemically cleaned. After a slow "bake-in" procedure, a cavity voltage of 20-Mv at 16% duty cycle was obtained. Although operation was not too steady, some preliminary beam evaluation tests were made. Proton acceleration threshold voltage was determined to be 18.5 Mv, based on the associated rapid increase in neutron flux beyond the D-8B target. The beam was found to be about 1 in. off from the cavity axis at the target. A pulsed beam current of 50 to 70 ma peak was reached. The results indicated that there was nothing to prevent a high-current pulsed beam from being produced. However, in spite of careful cleaning and slow bake-in methods, sparking in the 0-1 gap was still a problem. Since small scale tests indicated that Inconel had better resistance to spark damage than the deoxidized highphosphorous Cu originally used, Mark I was shut down to install Inconel overlays on the first two drift tubes.
