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.

Heavy-to-light transition form factors and their relations in light-cone QCD sum rules
The light-cone QCD sum rules approach improved by using the chiral current correlator is systematically reviewed and applied to the calculation of all the heavy-to-light form factors, including all the semileptonic and penguin ones. By choosing suitable chiral currents, the light-cone sum rules for all the form factors are greatly simplified and depend mainly on one leading-twist distribution amplitude of the light meson. As a result, relations between these form factors arise naturally. At the considered accuracy, these relations reproduce the results obtained in the literature. Moreover, since the explicit dependence on the leading-twist distribution amplitudes is preserved, these relations may be more useful to simulate the experimental data and extract information on the distribution amplitude.

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.

Improved approach to the heavy to light form-factors in the light cone QCD sum rules
A systematic analysis shows that the main uncertainties in the form factors are due to the twist-3 wave functions of the light mesons in the light-cone QCD sum rules. We propose an improved approach, in which the twist-3 wave functions do not make any contribution and therefore the possible pollution by them can be avoided, to reexamine B-->pi semileptonic form factors. Also, a comparison between previous results and our results from the light-cone QCD sum rules is made. Our method will be beneficial to the precise extraction of \V-ub\ from the experimental data on the processes B-->pil )over tilde>(l).

The heavy-to-light transitions in the light-cone QCD sum rules
We have analyzed the $B\to \pi $ and $B_{s}\to K$ semileptonic form factors and $B\to V\gamma (V=K^*,\rho,\omega)$ processes in the light-cone QCD sum rules. In order to enhance the predictivity and reliability of numerical results the chiral-current correlator is employed and the twist-3 light-cone wavefunction can be effectively eliminated from the sum rules.

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.

Nonperturbative effect in threshold resummation
We show that the conventional threshold resummation calculation cannot describe well the low energy Drell-Yan (DY) data without including the non-perturbative correction terms which are deduced from analyzing the asymptotic behavior of the resummation formalism. It is demonstrated that the non-perturbative correction is generally small for the large invariant mass DY pairs produced at the Tevatron and the LHC.

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.

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.
