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.

QCD resummation for jet substructures.
We provide a novel development in jet physics by predicting 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. The predicted peak positions and heights in jet mass distributions are consistent with CDF data within uncertainties induced by parton distribution functions.

Threshold resummation effects in neutral Higgs boson production by bottom quark fusion at the CERN Large Hadron Collider
We investigate the QCD effects in the production of neutral Higgs bosons via bottom quark fusion in both the standard model and the minimal supersymmetric standard model at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. We include the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections (including supersymmetric QCD) and the threshold resummation effects. We use the soft-collinear effective theory to resum the large logarithms near threshold from soft gluon emission. Our results show that the resummation effects can enhance the total cross sections by about 5% compared with the NLO results.

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.

QCD resummation for light-particle jets
We construct an evolution equation for the invariant-mass distribution of light-quark and gluon jets in the framework of QCD resummation. The solution of the evolution equation exhibits a behavior consistent with Tevatron CDF data: the jet distribution vanishes in the small invariant-mass limit, and its peak moves toward the high invariant-mass region with the jet energy. We also construct an evolution equation for the energy profile of the light-quark and gluon jets in the similar framework. The solution shows that the energy accumulates faster within a light-quark jet cone than within a gluon jet cone. The jet energy profile convoluted with hard scattering and parton distribution functions matches well with the Tevatron CDF and the LHC CMS data. Moreover, comparison with the CDF and CMS data implies that jets with large (small) transverse momentum are mainly composed of the light-quark (gluon) jets. At last, we discuss the application of the above solutions for the light-particle jets to the identification of highly boosted heavy particles produced at the LHC. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.87.074025

Unparticle physics and supersymmetry phenomenology
We show a natural form of the interaction between the unparticle and supersymmetry. Using the couplings of the unparticle to supersymmetry presented, as examples, we calculate the differential decay rates for the processes f-tilde{yields}f+U{sub 3/2}, {chi}-tilde{sup 0}{yields}{gamma}+U{sub 3/2}, {chi}-tilde{sup {+-}}{yields}W{sup {+-}}+U{sub 3/2} and {chi}-tilde{sup 0}{yields}Z{sup 0}+U{sub 3/2}. Finally, we discuss the phenomenological implication of our results and give some comments.

Probing the density dependence of the symmetry potential with peripheral heavy-ion collisions
The peripheral heavy-ion collisions of Sn-112,Sn-124+Kr-86 at E-b=25 A MeV are studied by means of the improved quantum molecular dynamics model (ImQMD). It is shown that the slope of the average N/Z ratio of emitted nucleons versus impact parameters for these reactions is very sensitive to the density dependence of the symmetry energy. Our study also shows that the yields of H-3 and He-3 decrease with impact parameters and that the slope of the yield of H-3 versus impact parameters as well as the ratio of Y(H-3)/Y(He-3) depends strongly on the symmetry potential for peripheral heavy-ion collisions.

Octupole degree of freedom for the critical-point candidate nucleus Sm152 in a reflection-asymmetric relativistic mean-field approach
The potential energy surfaces of even-even {sup 146-156}Sm are investigated in the constrained reflection-asymmetric relativistic mean-field approach with parameter set PK1. It is shown that the critical-point candidate nucleus {sup 152}Sm marks the shape/phase transition not only from U(5) to SU(3) symmetry, but also from the octupole-deformed ground state in {sup 150}Sm to the quadrupole-deformed ground state in {sup 154}Sm. By including the octupole degree of freedom, an energy gap near the Fermi surface for single-particle levels in {sup 152}Sm with beta{sub 2}=0.14approx0.26 is found and the important role of the octupole deformation driving pair nu2f{sub 7/2} and nu1i{sub 13/2} is demonstrated.

Competition between Coulomb and symmetry potential in semi-peripheral heavy ion collisions
The anisotropy of angular distributions of emitted nucleons and light charged particles for the asymmetric reaction system, $^{40}$Ar+$^{197}$Au, at b=6fm and $E_{beam}$=35, 50 and 100MeV/u, are investigated by using the Improved Quantum Molecular Dynamics model. The competition between the symmetry potential and Coulomb potential shows large impacts on the nucleons and light charged particles emission in projectile and target region. As a result of this competition, the angular distribution anisotropy of coalescence invariant Y(n)/Y(p) ratio at forward regions shows sensitivity to the stiffness of symmetry energy as well as the value of Y(n)/Y(p). This observable can be further checked against experimental data to understand the reaction mechanism and to extract information about the symmetry energy at subsaturation densities.

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.
