GCP Code Applied in $J/\psi$ Production and Absorption
Using the General Cascade Program(GCP), the production and absorption of $J/\psi$ in p-A and A-A collisions have been studied. Nucleon absorption mechanism and comover absorption mechanism are considered to investigate the $J/\psi$ suppression. The results agree well with experimental data of $J/\psi$ production, except for the data in Pb-Pb collision.

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.

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.

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.

Correlation between transverse energy and zero-degree energy in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
Based on the participant-spectator picture, applying the multisource model, the distributions of the zero-degree energy (EZD) and the transverse energy (ET) in the projectile-fragmentation region in relativistic heavy-ion collisions are calculated. The correlation between ET and EZD distributions is also analyzed. For collisions of 60A and 200A GeV 16O with different targets our results fit the new data of WA80 at CERN very well.

A Three Higgs Doublet Model for the Fermion Mass Hierarchy Problem
In this paper we propose a possible explanation to the Fermion mass hierarchy problem by fitting the type-II seesaw mechanism into the Higgs doublet sector, such that their vacuum expectation values are hierarchal. We extend the Standard Model with two extra Higgs doublets as well as a spontaneously broken $U_X(1)$ gauge symmetry. All the fermion Yukawa couplings except that of top quark are of order ${\cal O} (10^{-2})$ in our model. Constraints on the parameter space from Electroweak precision measurements are studied. Besides, the neutral component of the new fields, which are introduced to cancel the anomalies of the $U(1)_X$ gauge symmetry can be dark matter candidate. We investigate its signature in the dark matter direct detection.

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.

Relatively large Theta13 from modification to the tri-bimaximal, bimaximal and democratic neutrino mixing matrices
A bstractInspired by the indication of a relatively large θ13 from accelerator and reactor neutrino oscillation experiments, we provide a systematic study of general modifications to the three well-studied neutrino mixing patterns, i.e., tri-bimaximal, bimaximal and democratic lepton mixing matrices. The correlation between θ13 and the other two neutrino mixing angles are derived for each types of additional rotations. Predictions on θ12 and θ23 are also studied. Our study shows that, although some types of additional rotations are already excluded by the current global fit data of neutrino mixing angles, several types of additional rotations still survive. Our results may provide a guideline for the model building in neutrino physics.

Neutrino masses and lepton-flavor-violating τ decays in the supersymmetric left-right model
In the supersymmetric left-right model, the light neutrino masses are given by the Type-II seesaw mechanism. A duality property of this mechanism indicates that there exist eight possible Higgs triplet Yukawa couplings which result in the same neutrino mass matrix. In this paper, we work out the one-loop renormalization group equations for the effective neutrino mass matrix in the supersymmetric left-right model. The stability of the Type-II seesaw scenario is briefly discussed. We also study the lepton-flavor-violating processes (tau -> mu gamma and tau -> e gamma) by using the reconstructed Higgs triplet Yukawa couplings.

GRAVITATIONAL EFFECTS IN BUBBLE COLLISIONS
We investigate the effects of gravitation in the collision of two bubbles in the very early universe, using the thin-wall approximation. In general, the collision of two bubbles gives rise to modulus wall and a phase wave. The space-time metric and all physical quantities possess hyperbolic O(2,1) symmetry. We derive a generalized Birkhoff's theorem to show that the space-time in different regions must therefore be flat, de Sitter, pseudo-Schwarzschild, and pseudo-Schwarzschild-de Sitter, respectively. As in the spherically symmetric O(3) case, the space-time is Petrov type $D$, and so there is no gravitational radiation. Owing to the special symmetry of the space-time, the concentration of matter does not suffice to cause any gravitational collapse to a singularity no matter how severely the two bubbles collide. The modulus walls, viewed from the real vacuum region, eventually propagate outwards with kinks due to a series of collisions, in contrast to the situation in the absence of gravity.
