Strong couplings of heavy mesons to a light vector meson in QCD
We make a detailed analysis of the $BB\rho(DD\rho)$ and $B^*B\rho(D^{*}D\rho)$ strong couplings $g_{BB\rho}(g_{DD\rho})$ and $g_{B^*B\rho}(g_{D^{*}D\rho})$ using QCD light cone sum rules(LCSR). The existing some negligence is pointed out in the previous LCSR calculation on $g_{B^*B\rho} (g_{D^{\ast}D\rho}$) and an updated estimate is presented. Our findings can be used to understand the behavior of the $B,D \to \rho$ semileptonic form factors at large momentum transitions.

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).

Importance of Higher Twist Effects to Understand Charmed Color-Suppressed $B$ Decays
Working within the framework of the QCD light cone sum rules (LCSR), we compute and discuss the nonfactorizable higher twist effect in $\bar{B}^0\to D^{*0}\pi^0$ to make an all-around examination of its role in the charmed color-suppressed B decays. Analogously to the case of $\bar{B}^0\to D^{0}\pi^0$, such effect turns out to be of the same strong phase as the factorizable amplitude, and modifies constructively the magnitude by order $(40-90)%$ so that the effective coefficient $a_2^{f}=C_1+C_2/3$ receives a positive correction comparable numerically with it. Nonleading as the soft effect in question is, our findings for it, along with the previous LCSR analyses of $\bar{B}^0\to D^{0}\pi^0$, are suggestive of the dominance of soft exchanges in these charmed color suppressed B decays. Also, the emphases are put on importance of understanding intensively various related higher twist and transverse momentum effects to interpret the data on $B \to D^{0(*0)}(\pi^0,\eta,\eta'),J/\psi K^{(*)}$.

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.

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.

Probing the density dependence of symmetry energy at subsaturation density with HICs
The reaction mechanism of the central collisions and peripheral collisions for $^{112,124}Sn+^{112,124}Sn$ at $E/A=50MeV$ is investigated within the framework of the Improved Quantum Molecular Dynamics model. The results show that multifragmentation process is an important mechanism at this energy region, and the influence of the cluster emission on the double n/p ratios and the isospin transport ratio are important. Furthermore, three observables, double n/p ratios, isospin diffusion and the rapidity distribution of the ratio $R_{7}$ for $^{112,124}Sn+^{112,124}Sn$ at E/A=50MeV are analyzed with the Improved Quantum Molecular Dynamics model. The results show that these three observables are sensitive to the density dependence of the symmetry energy. By comparing the calculation results to the data, the consistent constraint on the density dependence of the symmetry energy from these three observables is obtained.

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.

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.

Collective flow of light particles in Au + Au collisions at intermediate energies
The Skyrme potential energy density functional is introduced into the ultrarelativistic quantum molecular dynamics model and the updated version is applied to studying the directed and elliptic flows of light particles (protons, neutrons, deuterons, tritons, ${}^{3}$He, and ${}^{4}$He) in ${}^{197}$Au + ${}^{197}$Au collisions at beam energies 150, 250, and 400 MeV$/$nucleon. The results are compared with the recent FOPI experimental data. It is found that the yields and collective flows of light particles can be described quite well. The influence of the equation of state, medium-modified nucleon-nucleon elastic cross sections (NNECS) and cluster recognition criteria on the directed and elliptic flows is studied in detail. It is found that the flows of light particles are sensitive to the medium-modified NNECS, but not sensitive to the isospin dependent cluster recognition criteria. It seems difficult, however, even with the new data and calculations, to obtain a more accurate constraint on the nuclear incompressibility ${K}_{0}$ than the interval 200\char21{}260 MeV.

Microscopic description of spherical to γ-soft shape transitions in Ba and Xe nuclei
The rapid transition between spherical and γ-soft shapes in Ba and Xe nuclei in the mass region A>130 is analyzed using excitation spectra and collective wave functions obtained by diagonalization of a five-dimensional Hamiltonian for quadrupole vibrational and rotational degrees of freedom, with parameters determined by constrained self-consistent relativistic mean-field calculations for triaxial shapes. The results reproduce the characteristic evolution of excitation spectra and E2 transition probabilities, and in general, a good agreement with available data is obtained. The calculated spectra display fingerprints of a second-order shape phase transition that can approximately be described by analytic solutions corresponding to the E(5) dynamical symmetry.
