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.

Mass and isotope dependence of limiting temperatures for hot nuclei
The mass and isotope dependence of limiting temperatures for hot nuclei are investigated. The predicted mass dependence of limiting temperatures is in good agreement with data derived from the caloric curve data. The predicted isotope distribution of limiting temperatures appears to be a parabolic shape and its centroid is not located at the isotope on the beta-stability line (T=0) but at neutron-rich side. Our study shows that the mass and isotope dependence of limiting temperatures depend on the interaction and the form of surface tension and its isospin dependence sensitively.

In-medium NN cross sections determined from stopping and collective flow in intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions
In-medium nucleon-nucleon scattering cross sections are explored by comparing results of quantum molecular dynamics simulations to data on stopping and on elliptic and directed flow in intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions. The comparison points to in-medium cross sections which are suppressed at low energies but not at higher energies. Positive correlations are found between the degree of stopping and the magnitudes of elliptic and directed flows. PACS numbers: 25.70.-z, 24.10.Lx, 21.65.+f

Isospin dependence of nucleon-nucleon elastic cross section
The in-medium neutron-proton, proton-proton (neutron-neutron) scattering cross sections (sigma(np)*, sigma(pp(nn))*) are studied based on QHD-II type Lagangian within the framework of the microscopic transport theory. The results demonstrate that, for free nucleon-nucleon scattering cross sections, the isospin dependence is dominantly caused by the rho meson field. The medium correction of nucleon-nucleon scattering cross sections is also isospin dependent, sigma(np)*, depends on the baryon density weakly and sigma(pp(nn))* depends on the baryon density significantly, which is due to the different effects of the medium correction of nucleon mass and rho meson mass on sigma(np) and sigma(pp(nn)), respectively.

Next-to-leading order QCD effects in associated charged Higgs and W boson production in the MSSM at the CERN Large Hadron Collider
We present the calculations of the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to the inclusive total cross sections for the associated production of the ${W}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}{H}^{\ensuremath{\mp}}$ through $b\overline{b}$ annihilation in the minimal supersymmetric standard model at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The NLO QCD corrections can either enhance or reduce the total cross sections, but they generally efficiently reduce the dependence of the total cross sections on the renormalization/factorization scale. The magnitude of the NLO QCD corrections is about 10% in most of the parameter space and can reach 15% in some parameter regions. We also show the Monte Carlo simulation results for the $2j+{\ensuremath{\tau}}_{\mathrm{jet}}+{\mathrm{p\ensuremath{\llap{\not\;}}}}_{T}$ signature from the ${W}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$ and the ${H}^{\ensuremath{\mp}}$ decays including the NLO QCD effects, and find an observable signal at a $5\ensuremath{\sigma}$ level in some parameter region of the minimal supergravity model.

Systematic study on QCD interactions of heavy mesons with ρ meson
Abstract The strong interactions of the negative-parity heavy mesons with ρ meson may be described consistently in the context of an effective Lagrangian, which is invariant under isospin SU ( 2 ) transformation. Four coupling constants g H H ρ , f H ∗ H ρ , g H ∗ H ∗ ρ and f H ∗ H ∗ ρ enter the effective Lagrangian, where H ( H ∗ ) denotes a pseudoscalar bottom or charm meson (the corresponding vector meson). Using QCD light cone sum rule (LCSR) method and, as inputs, the hadronic parameters updated recently, we give an estimate of g H ∗ H ∗ ρ and f H ∗ H ∗ ρ , about which little was known before, and present an improved result for g H H ρ and f H ∗ H ρ . Also, we examine the heavy quark asymptotic behavior of these nonperturbative quantities and assess the two low energy parameters β and λ of the corresponding effective chiral Lagrangian.

B -> K*gamma in the light-cone QCD sum rule
A new estimate of the electromagnetic penguin operator contribution to B-->K*gamma is proposed by using the light-cone QCD sum rule. We improve the previous investigation of Ali, Braun and Simma by proper choices of the current operators in the correlator. The reasonable estimates of the b-quark pole mass m(b) and decay constant f(B) are also given. Numerically, we find that the form factor FB-->K*(0) = 0.34 +/- 0.05 and the branching ratio B(B-->K*gamma) = (5.1 +/- 1.7) X 10(-5), with a b-quark pole mass m(b) = 4.7-4.9 GeV. Our results are different from those of Ali et al., but the resulting branching ratio is still comparable with the experimental observation.

THE VERTICAL X-SHAPED STRUCTURE IN THE MILKY WAY: EVIDENCE FROM A SIMPLE BOXY BULGE MODEL
A vertical X-shaped structure in the Galactic bulge was recently reported. Here, we present evidence of a similar X-shaped structure in the Shen et al. 2010 bar/boxy bulge model that simultaneously matches the stellar kinematics successfully. The X-shaped structure is found in the central region of our bar/boxy bulge model and is qualitatively consistent with the observed one in many aspects. End-to-end separations of the X-shaped structure in the radial and vertical directions are roughly 3 kpc and 1.8 kpc, respectively. The X-shaped structure contains about 7% of light in the boxy bulge region, but it is significant enough to be identified in observations. An X-shaped structure naturally arises in the formation of bar/boxy bulges and is mainly associated with orbits trapped around the vertically extended x{sub 1} family. Like the bar in our model, the X-shaped structure tilts away from the Sun-Galactic center line by 20 Degree-Sign . The X-shaped structure becomes increasingly symmetric about the disk plane, so the observed symmetry may indicate that it formed at least a few billion years ago. The existence of the vertical X-shaped structure suggests that the formation of the Milky Way bulge is shaped mainly by internal disk dynamical instabilities.

Determining the gluonic content of isoscalar mesons
We develop tools to determine the gluonic content of a resonance of known mass, width, and J{sup PC} from its branching fraction in radiative quarkonium decays and production cross section in {gamma}{gamma} collisions. We test the procedures by applying them to known q{bar q} mesons, then analyze four leading glueball candidates. We identify inconsistencies in data for J/{psi}{r_arrow}{gamma}f{sub 0}(1500) and J/{psi}{r_arrow}{gamma}f{sub J}(1710) whose resolution can quantify their glueball status. When {Gamma}(f{sub 0}(1500){r_arrow}{gamma}{gamma}) and {Gamma}(f{sub J}(1710){r_arrow}{gamma}{gamma}) are known, the n{bar n},s{bar s},gg mixing angles can be determined. The enigmatic situation in the 1400-1500 MeV region of the isosinglet 0{sup {minus}+} sector is discussed. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
