THE EFFECT OF SECONDARY COLLISIONS IN THE RAPIDITY DISTRIBUTION IN RELATIVISTIC HEAVY-ION COLLISIONS
Based on the participant model the effect of secondary collisions in relativistic heavy ion collisions is analyzed by introducing additional contributions in fragmentation regions. The rapidity distributions of n of NA35 and WA80 groups are well reproduced. Special improvement is shown in the target fragmentation region.

A model for the peripheral process in ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions
A model for the peripheral process in ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions is proposed to explain the first experimental results of interactions of oxygen nuclei in nuclear emulsions at the highest energy now available. The fraction of the interactions producing `white' stars and the mean value of NH for different incident energies and colliding nuclei are given.

Massive meson fluctuation in NJL model
Based on the self-consistent scheme beyond the mean-field approximation in the large N-c expansion, including current quark mass explicitly, a general scheme of SU(2) NJL model is developed. To ensure the quark self-energy expanded in the proper order of N-c, an approximate internal meson propagator is deduced, which is in order of O(1/N-c). In our scheme, adopting the method of external momentum expansion, all the Feynman diagrams are calculated in a unified way by only expanding the quark propagator. Our numerical results show that, different from the mean-field approximation in which the explicitly chiral symmetry breaking is invisible, the effect of finite pion mass can be seen clearly when beyond the mean-field approximation.

Meson effects on the chiral symmetry breaking and restoration
Based on the self-consistent chiral symmetric scheme of the SU(2) Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, the meson effects have been investigated on the chiral symmetry breaking vacuum and chiral symmetry restoration by exactly calculating the next-to-leading (NLO) order Feynman diagrams in the 1/Nc expansion.

Nuclear Effects on Charmonium Production
$J/\psi$ and $\psi'$ production cross sections in fixed-target experiment is calculated, considering the contributions from both color-singlet and color-octet mechanisms.The results are applied to the investigations of the $J/\psi$ suppression and the $\psi'/\psi$ ratio problems in p-A collisions. The results agree with the experimental data as the $(c \bar c)-$nucleon absorption cross sections $\sigma_{abs}^8\simeq 10mb $ for $(c \bar c)_8$ and $\sigma_{abs}^1\simeq 0mb $ for $(c \bar c)_1$. The model is further used to investigate A-A collisions when comover absorption mechanism is also considered. It is found that the observed experiment data of $J/\psi$ and $\psi'/\psi$ ratio in S-U collisions and Pb-Pb collisions can not be explained consistently within this model. The possibility of QGP formation in S-U and Pb-Pb collisions is also discussed.

TeV-scale Type-II Seesaw Models and Possible Collider Signatures
A natural extension of the standard model to accommodate massive neutrinos is to introduce one Higgs triplet and three right-handed Majorana neutrinos, leading to a 6×6 neutrino mass matrix. We show that three light Majorana neutrinos (i.e., the mass eigenstates of νe, νμ and ντ) are exactly massless, if and only if $M_{L} = M_{\rm D}M^{-1}_{\rm R}M^{T}_{\rm D}$ exactly holds in this seesaw model. We propose three simple Type-II seesaw scenarios with broken A4 × U(1)x flavor symmetry to interpret the observed neutrino mass spectrum and neutrino mixing pattern. Such a TeV-scale neutrino model can be tested in two complementary ways: (1) searching for possible collider signatures of lepton number violation induced by the right-handed Majorana neutrinos and doubly-charged Higgs particles; and (2) searching for possible consequences of unitarity violation of the 3 × 3 neutrino mixing matrix in the future long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments.

The D0 Dimuon Charge Asymmetry and Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe
The D0 collaboration has reported a 3.2 \sigma deviation from the Standard Model (SM) prediction in the like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry. New physics beyond the SM in B_s - \bar B_s mixing is needed to explain the data. In this paper, we investigate the possible extension of the SM with one generation color-triplet charged scalar as well as three generation Majorana fermions. We study the implications of the model on the D0's dimuon charge asymmetry as well as matter anti-matter asymmetry of the Universe.

Hidden from view: Neutrino masses, dark matter, and TeV-scale leptogenesis in a neutrinophilic two-Higgs-doublet model
We consider a simple extension of the Standard Model providing dark matter and a TeV-scale seesaw mechanism that also allows for viable leptogenesis. In addition to the Standard Model degrees of freedom, the model contains a neutrinophilic Higgs doublet, a scalar singlet, and six singlet fermions (including three right-handed Majorana neutrinos) that are charged under a local U(1)′ gauge symmetry. We show how the U(1)′ charge assignments and the choice of scalar potential can lead to a TeV-scale seesaw mechanism and O(1) neutrino Yukawa couplings in a straightforward way. While this scenario has all the ingredients one would expect for significant experimental signatures, including several new TeV-scale degrees of freedom, we find that most distinctive features associated with neutrino mass generation, leptogenesis and the dark sector are likely to remain inaccessible in the absence of additional lepton flavor symmetries.

One-loop renormalization group equations of the neutrino mass matrix in the triplet seesaw model
Within the framework of the standard model plus one heavy Higgs triplet, we derive a full set of one-loop renormalization group equations of the neutrino mass matrix and Higgs couplings in both full and effective theories. The explicit RGEs of neutrino masses, flavor mixing angles and CP-violating phases are also obtained, and their nontrivial running behaviors around the Higgs triplet mass threshold are numerically illustrated.
