Quark model study of the eta photoproduction: Evidence for a new S(11) resonance?
An extensive and systematic study of the recent eta photoproduction data up to 1.2 GeV is presented within a chiral constituent quark model. A model embodying all known nucleonic resonances shows clear need for a yet undiscovered third S11 resonance in the second resonance region, for which we determine the mass (1.729 GeV) and the total width (183 MeV). Furthermore, we extract the configuration mixing angles, an important property of the quark-quark interaction in the quark model, for the resonances S11(1535) and S11(1650), as well as for the resonances D13(1520) and D13(1700). Our results agree well with the quark model predictions. In addition, the partial eta N decay widths and/or the photo-excitation helicity amplitudes for the nucleonic resonances S11(1535), S11(1650), P11(1710), P13(1720), D13(1520), D13(1700), D15(1675), and F15(1680) are also obtained in this approach.

Beyond the relativistic mean-field approximation. III. Collective Hamiltonian in five dimensions
The framework of relativistic energy density functionals is extended to include correlations related to the restoration of broken symmetries and fluctuations of collective variables. A new implementation is developed for the solution of the eigenvalue problem of a five-dimensional collective Hamiltonian for quadrupole vibrational and rotational degrees of freedom, with parameters determined by constrained self-consistent relativistic mean-field calculations for triaxial shapes. The model is tested in a series of illustrative calculations of potential energy surfaces and the resulting collective excitation spectra and transition probabilities of the chain of even-even gadolinium isotopes.

The Kaon-Photoproduction Of Nucleons In The Chiral Quark Model
In this paper, we develop a general framework to study the mesonphotoproductions of nucleons in the chiral quark model. The S and U channel resonance contributions are expressed in terms of the ChewGoldberger-Low-Nambu (CGLN) amplitudes. The kaon-photoproduction processes, γp → K+Λ, γp → K+Σ0, and γp → K0Σ+, are calculated. The initial results show that the quark model provides a much improved description of the reaction mechanism for the kaon-photoproductions of the nucleon with less parameters than the traditional phenomenological approaches.

Octupole degree of freedom for nuclei near 152Sm in a reflection-asymmetric relativistic mean-field approach
The potential energy surfaces of even-even isotopes near 152Sm are investigated within the constrained reflection-asymmetric relativistic mean-field approach using parameter sets PK1 and NL3. It is shown that the critical-point candidate nucleus 152Sm marks the shape/phase transition not only from U(5) to SU(3) symmetry, but also from the octupole deformed ground state in 150Sm to the quadrupole deformed ground state in 154Sm. The important role of the octupole deformation driving pair (?2f7/2, ?1i13/2) is demonstrated based on the components of the single-particle levels near the Fermi surface. In addition, the patterns of both the proton and the neutron octupole deformation driving pairs (?2f7/2, ?1i13/2) and (?2d5/2, ?1h11/2) are investigated.

Effect of time-odd mean fields on inertial parameters of the quadrupole collective Hamiltonian
Most current implementations of the quadrupole collective Hamiltonian model do not include the contributions of time-odd mean fields to the moments of inertia and mass parameters (Thouless-Valatin dynamical rearrangement contributions). A hybrid model is introduced that allows a quantitative estimate of these contributions to the inertial functions of a five- dimensional collective Hamiltonian based on microscopic energy density functionals. Fully self-consistent constrained relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov calculations of triaxial energy surfaces in the β−γ plane are used to determine the parameters of an equivalent pairing-plus-quadrupole (P+Q) Hamiltonian. This Hamiltonian is employed in constrained Hartree-Fock- Bogoliubov (CHFB) plus local quasiparticle random-phase approximation (LQRPA) calculation of the deformation- dependent corrections to the Inglis-Belyaev moments of inertia and cranking mass parameters. This hybrid model is used to evaluate the influence of time-odd mean fields on vibrational and rotational collective masses and investigate their effect on the low-energy collective excitation spectra and transition rates of γ-soft Xe and Ba nuclei.

Medium effects on the double Delta production and absorption cross-section
The explicit expressions for calculating the in-medium N+N{r_arrow}{Delta}+{Delta} and {Delta}+{Delta}{r_arrow}N+N cross section have been derived within the framework of the self-consistent relativistic Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck approach in which the deltas and nucleons are treated on an equal footing. The obtained cross sections are consistent with the other integrands of the transport model. The theoretical prediction of the free double-{Delta} production cross section is in good agreement with the experimental data. All the medium effects on the double-{Delta} production and absorption cross section are studied systematically, and strong medium corrections are found. Our numerical results show that it would be important to take the N+N{r_arrow}{Delta}+{Delta} and {Delta}+{Delta}{r_arrow}N+N channel into account in the study of relativistic heavy-ion collisions at intermediate and high energies. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}

THE DYNAMICAL ISOSPIN EFFECT ON PROTON-INDUCED REACTIONS ON Sn ISOTOPES
In this talk we present a model, Improved Quantum Molecular Dynamics (ImQMD05) model incorporated with a Statistical Decay Model (SDM), to describe intermediate energy proton induced spallation reactions. A good agreement with experimental data of double differential cross sections of emitted neutrons is obtained. We further apply this model to study the isospin effect in proton induced spallation reactions on a series Sn isotope targets. We find that the systematic behavior of the reaction cross sections for Sn isotope targets deviates from the empirical expression obtained by fitting the experimental data for proton induced spallation reactions on target nuclei along β-stability line. The extent of the deviation depends on the density dependence of the symmetry energy strongly. We also find an obvious shift of the elastic scattering angular distribution of emitted protons when the symmetry energy is taken into account for neutron-rich Sn isotope targets and the angle shifted strongly depends on the stiffness of the symmetry energy. The attractive effect of the symmetry potential of target on incident proton directly influences the motion of the incident proton leading to strong isospin effect on the reaction dynamics and thus on these reaction observables. We conclude that the measurement of reaction cross sections and the elastic scattering angular distributions in proton induced spallation reactions on Sn isotopes can provide clear constraint for the density dependence of symmetry energy.

QCD resummation for jet profiles
We predict the energy profiles of light-quark and gluon jets in the framework of perturbative QCD. Resumming large logarithmic contributions to all orders in the coupling constant, our predictions are shown to agree well with Tevatron CDF and Large-Hadron-Collider CMS data. We also extend our resummation formalism to the invariant mass distributions of light-quark and gluon jets produced in hadron collisions.

Production and rescattering of strange baryons at SPS energies in a transport model with hadron potentials
A mean-field potential version of the Ultra-relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) model is used to investigate the production of strange baryons, especially the $\Lambda$s and $\overline{\Lambda}$s, from heavy ion collisions at SPS energies. It is found that, with the consideration of both formed and pre-formed hadron potentials in UrQMD, the transverse mass and longitudinal rapidity distributions of experimental data of both $\Lambda$s and $\overline{\Lambda}$s can be quantitatively explained fairly well. Our investigation also shows that both the production mechanism and the rescattering process of hadrons play important roles in the final yield of strange baryons.
