Validity of the relativistic impulse approximation for elastic proton-nucleus scattering at energies lower than 200 MeV
We present the first study to examine the validity of the relativistic impulse approximation (RIA) for describing elastic proton-nucleus scattering at incident laboratory kinetic energies lower than 200 MeV. For simplicity we choose a (208)Pb target, which is a spin-saturated spherical nucleus for which reliable nuclear structure models exist. Microscopic scalar and vector optical potentials are generated by folding invariant scalar and vector scattering nucleon-nucleon (NN) amplitudes, based on our recently developed relativistic meson-exchange model, with Lorentz scalar and vector densities resulting from the accurately calibrated PK1 relativistic mean field model of nuclear structure. It is seen that phenomenological Pauli blocking (PB) effects and density-dependent corrections to sigma N and omega N meson-nucleon coupling constants modify the RIA microscopic scalar and vector optical potentials so as to provide a consistent and quantitative description of all elastic scattering observables, namely, total reaction cross sections, differential cross sections, analyzing powers and spin rotation functions. In particular, the effect of PB becomes more significant at energies lower than 200 MeV, whereas phenomenological density-dependent corrections to the NN interaction also play an increasingly important role at energies lower than 100 MeV.

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.

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.

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.

Nuclear symmetry potential in the relativistic impulse approximation
Using the relativistic impulse approximation with the Love-Franey NN scattering amplitude developed by Murdock and Horowitz, we investigate the low-energy (100{<=}E{sub kin}{<=}400 MeV) behavior of the nucleon Dirac optical potential, the Schroedinger-equivalent potential, and the nuclear symmetry potential in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter. We find that the nuclear symmetry potential at fixed baryon density decreases with increasing nucleon energy. In particular, the nuclear symmetry potential at saturation density changes from positive to negative values at nucleon kinetic energy of about 200 MeV. Furthermore, the obtained energy and density dependence of the nuclear symmetry potential is consistent with those of the isospin- and momentum-dependent MDI interaction with x=0, which has been found to describe reasonably well both the isospin diffusion data from heavy-ion collisions and the empirical neutron-skin thickness of {sup 208}Pb.

Associated production of neutral Higgs boson with squark pair in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with explicit CP violation at the CERN LHC
We investigate the associated production of neutral Higgs boson with squark pair in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with and without explicit $CP$ violation, respectively. We show that the dominant productions in both cases are always ones of the lightest neutral Higgs boson associated with the lightest stop pair, which can reach a few pb, in the ranges of parameters allowed by constraints from the electric dipole moment experiments. In most of the parameter space, the total cross sections in the case with explicit $CP$ violation are significantly enhanced, compared with ones without explicit $CP$ violation. For some special parameters, several orders of magnitude enhancement can be obtained.

Understanding the X-ray spectrum of anomalous X-ray pulsars and soft gamma-ray repeaters*
Hard X-rays above 10 keV are detected from several anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) and soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs), and different models have been proposed to explain the physical origin within the frame of either a magnetar model or a fallback disk system. Using data from Suzaku and INTEGRAL, we study the soft and hard X-ray spectra of four AXPs/SGRs: 1RXS J170849-400910, 1E 1547.0-5408, SGR 1806-20 and SGR 0501+4516. It is found that the spectra could be well reproduced by the bulk-motion Comptonization (BMC) process as was first suggested by Trumper et al., showing that the accretion scenario could be compatible with Xray emission from AXPs/SGRs. Simulated results from the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope using the BMC model show that the spectra would have discrepancies from the power-law, especially the cutoff at similar to 200 keV. Thus future observations will allow researchers to distinguish different models of the hard X-ray emission and will help us understand the nature of AXPs/SGRs.

Nonequilibrium dynamics in heavy-ion collisions at low energies available at the GSI Schwerionen Synchrotron
The updated ultrarelativistic quantum molecular dynamics (UrQMD) model, a microscopic transport model, is used to study the directed and elliptic collective flows and the nuclear stopping in Au+Au collisions at incident energies covered by INDRA and lower-energy FOPI experiments. It is seen clearly that these observables are sensitive to both the potential terms (including isoscalar and isovector parts as well as the momentum dependent term) in the equation of state (EoS) and the collision term [including the Pauli blocking and the medium-modified nucleon-nucleon elastic cross section (NNECS)]. The momentum modifications of both, the mean-field potentials and the density dependent NNECS, are found to affect the collectivity of heavy-ion collisions. At INDRA energies ({<=}150 MeV/nucleon) the dynamic transport with a soft EoS with momentum dependence and with the momentum-modified density-dependent NNECS describes the directed flow exhibited by hydrogen isotopes (Z=1) emitted at midrapidity fairly well.

Covariant Description of the Δ in Relativistic Transport Theory
We have derived the relativistic Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck equation for delta distribution function based on the same effective Lagrangian in which we derive the equation of nucleon. The equations of nucleon and delta are coupled with each other through self-energy terms and should be solved simultaneously.
