Sigma Signal for Hybrid Baryon Decay
Abstract We develop an ansatz of the sigma enhancement of the I =0, L =0 π – π scattering amplitude as arising from a low-energy glueball pole. Using this picture we estimate the π 0 π 0 to π 0 branching ratio for the decays of the Roper resonance, which we previously found to be a hybrid in our QCD sum rule calculation.

Longitudinal transitions of baryon resonances in the constituent quark model
A longitudinal transition operator that satisfies the gauge invariance requirement is introduced in the constituent quark model. The corresponding longitudinal transitions from the ground state of the nucleon to resonances of the baryon are calculated. The study shows that the longitudinal coupling plays an important role in the understanding of the structure of the baryon.

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.

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.

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.

Reexamined radiative decay B*(q) ---> B(q gamma) in light cone QCD
The radiative decay $ B_{q}^*\to B_{q}\gamma(q=u,d, or s) $ is reexamined with a modified light-cone QCD sum rule method, in which adequate chiral operators are chosen as the interpolating fields in the correlators used for a sum rule estimate of the relevant coupling $ g_{B_{q}^*B_{q}\gamma} $. The resulting sum rules not only show the physical picture consistent with the underlying physics in $ B_{q}^*\to B_{q}\gamma $ but also avoid the pollution by the nonlocal matrix element $ $, which starts with twist-3 and thus may bring a large uncertainty to the sum rule predictions. Also, a comparison is made with the previous results from light-cone QCD sum rules and chiral perturbation theory.

Constraints on the Density Dependence of the Symmetry Energy
Collisions involving {sup 112}Sn and {sup 124}Sn nuclei have been simulated with the improved quantum molecular dynamics transport model. The results of the calculations reproduce isospin diffusion data from two different observables and the ratios of neutron and proton spectra. By comparing these data to calculations performed over a range of symmetry energies at saturation density and different representations of the density dependence of the symmetry energy, constraints on the density dependence of the symmetry energy at subnormal density are obtained. The results from the present work are compared to constraints put forward in other recent analyses.

Constraint on nuclear symmetry energy from nuclear charge dependent neutron skin thickness of nuclei
An alternative way to constrain the density dependence of the symmetry energy with the slope of the neutron skin thickness of nuclei which shows a linear relation to both the isospin asymmetry and the nuclear charge with a form of Z^{2/3} is proposed. The linear dependence of the neutron skin thickness on the nuclear charge and isospin asymmetry is systematically studied with the data from antiprotonic atom measurement experimentally and the extended Thomas-Fermi approach incorporated the Skyrme energy density functional theoretically. An obviously linear relationship between the slope parameter L of the symmetry energy and the slope of the neutron skin thickness on the isospin asymmetry can be found by adopting 66 Skyrme interactions in the calculation. Combining the available experimental data, the constraint of 16<L<66 MeV on the slope parameter of the symmetry energy is obtained. The Skyrme interactions satisfying the constraint are selected.
