Abstract: We study stable immersed capillary hypersurfaces in a domain $mathcalB$ which is either a half-space or a slab in the Euclidean space $Bbb{R}^{n+1}.$ We prove that such a hypersurface $Sigma$ is rotationally symmetric in the following cases: (1) $n=2$, $mathcalB$ is a slab and $Sigma$ has genus zero, (2) $ngeq2$, $mathcalB$ is a slab, the angle of contact is $pi/2$ and each component of $partialSigma$ is embedded, (3) $ngeq2,$ $mathcalB$ is a half-space, the angle of contact is $<pi/2$ and each component of $partialSigma$ is embedded. Moreover, in case (2), if not a right circular cylinder, the hypersurface has to be graphical over a domain in $partialmathcalB.$ In case (3), the hypersurface is a spherical cap.
