Effect of tensor force on the density dependence of symmetry energy within the BHF framework
The effect of tensor force on the density dependence of nuclear symmetry energy has been investigated within the framework of the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (BHF) approach. It is shown that the tensor force manifests its effect via the tensor 3SD1 channel. The density dependence of symmetry energy Esym turns out to be determined essentially by the tensor force from the π meson and ρ meson exchanges via the 3SD1 coupled channel. Increasing the strength of the tensor component due to the ρ-meson exchange tends to enhance the repulsion of the equation of state of symmetric nuclear matter and leads to the reduction of symmetry energy. The present results confirm the dominant role played by the tensor force in determining nuclear symmetry energy and its density dependence within the microscopic BHF framework.

Transport parameters in neutron stars from in-medium NN cross sections
We present a numerical study of shear viscosity and thermal conductivity of symmetric nuclear matter, pure neutron matter, and beta-stable nuclear matter, in the framework of the Brueckner theory. The calculation of in-medium cross sections and nucleon effective masses is performed with a consistent two- and three-body interaction. The investigation covers a wide baryon density range as needed in the applications to neutron stars. The results for the transport coefficients in beta-stable nuclear matter are used to make preliminary predictions on the damping time scales of nonradial modes in neutron stars.

Effects of the magnetic field on the spallation reaction implemented by BUU coupled with a phase-space coalescence afterburner
Based on the Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck (BUU) transport model coupled with a phase-space coalescence afterburner, the spallation reaction p + 197Au at the incident beam energy Ebeam = 800 MeV/nucleon is studied. We find that the number of test particles per nucleon has minor effects on the neutron-to-proton ratio (n/p) of the produced heavier fragments while it affects much their yields. The external strong magnetic field affects the production of heavier fragments more than the n/p of produced fragments. The n/p of free nucleons is greatly affected by the strong magnetic field, especially for the nucleons with lower energies.

Probing the isospin dependent in-medium nucleon–nucleon cross section by nucleon emissions
The effects of the symmetry potential and the isospin dependent in-medium nucleon-nucleon (NN) cross section on the number of proton(neutron) emissions N-p(N-n) are studied respectively within an isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics (IQMD) model. The isospin dependent in-medium NN cross section is found to have a strong influence on Np (Nn) but Np(Nn) is not sensitive to the symmetry potential for the neutron-deficient colliding system at relatively high energies. We propose to make use of the N-p(N-n) as a probe to extract information on the isospin dependent in-medium NN cross section. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Three-body force effect on off-shell mass operator and spectral functions in nuclear matter
Within the framework of the Brueckner theory, the off-shell behaviors of the mass operator $M(k,\omega)=V(k,\omega)+iW(k,\omega)$, i.e., its dependence upon the momentum $k$ and upon the nucleon frequency $\omega$, are investigated by including nuclear three-body force (TBF). The first two terms of the hole-line expansion of the mass operator are taken into account. The TBF effects on their off-shell properties are discussed. A comparison is made between the on-shell and off-shell values of $M_{1}$. The nucleon spectral function and nucleon momentum distribution are also calculated, and the calculation shows that they are hardly affected by the TBF effect at the saturation density. At a high density two times greater than the saturation density, inclusion of the TBF may lead to a visible effect on the spectral function and may enhance the depletion of the hole states.

Three-body force effect on the properties of nuclear matter under the gap and continuous choices within the BHF approach
We have calculated and compared the three-body force effects on the properties of nuclear matter under the gap and continuous choices for the self-consistent auxiliary potential within the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach by adopting the Argonne V-18 and the Bonn B two-body potentials plus a microscopic three-body force (TBF). The TBF provides a strong repulsive effect on the equation of state of nuclear matter at high densities for both the gap and continuous choices. The saturation point turns out to be much closer to the empirical value when the continuous choice is adopted. In addition, the dependence of the calculated symmetry energy upon the choice of the self-consistent auxiliary potential is discussed.

Constraints on unparticle interactions from particle and antiparticle oscillations
AbstractUnparticles have dramatic effects on particle and antiparticle oscillations in meson–antimeson and muonium–antimuonium systems. Unlike the usual tree-level contributions to meson oscillations from heavy-particle exchange, which results in a small Γ12, the unparticle may have sizeable contributions to both M12 and Γ12 due to the fractional dimension 
$d_{\mathcal{U}}$ 
of the unparticle. If the unparticle effect dominates the contributions (which may happen in D0–
$\bar{D}^{0}$ 
mixing) to the meson mixing parameters x and y, we find that 
$x/y=\cot(\pi d_{\mathcal{U}})$
. The mass difference Δm in meson mixing can provide interesting constraints on the unparticle interactions. The unparticle interaction can significantly enhance the CP asymmetry in meson mixing, which can be tested in more accurate experiments in the future. Interesting constraints on unparticle and particle interactions can also be obtained using muonion and antimuonion oscillation data.

THE VIRTUAL EXCHANGE OF PSEUDOSCALAR MESONS IN THE MIT BAG MODEL
In this paper the virtual exchange effect of pseudoscalar mesons in the MIT bag model is discussed and the mass spectrum of hadrons, the magnetic moments and the mean square values of charge radius are calculated. It is pointed out that our model can preserve and improve the static properties of the MIT bag model and provide an explanation for the origin of the meson cloud outside baryons.

A New Effect in the QCD Fusion of Nuclear Partons
The parton fusion in nucleus at the leading order of recombination is investigated based on perturbative QCD. We compute various cut diagrams including the nuclear parton fusion, and find that the parton-fusion effects depend on the nuclear QCD structure.

The Factorization in exclusive B decays: A Critical look
I review the theoretical ideas and concepts along the line of factorization in the exclusive B decays. In order to understand the naive factorization, the effective field theories and the perturbative method of QCD are introduced and developed. We focus our discussions on the large energy effective theory, the QCD factorization approach and the soft-collinear effective theory.

Productions of K*0(1430) and K(1) in B decays
We study the productions of p-wave mesons $K^*_{0}(1430)$, $K_{1}(1270)$ and $K_{1}(1400)$ in B decays. By the generalized factorization approach, we find that the branching ratios of $B\to K^*_{0}(1430) \phi$ are similar to those of $B\to K \phi$ while the branching ratios of $B\to K_{1}(1270) \phi$ and $B\to K_{1}(1400) \phi$ are $O(10^{-5})$ and $O(10^{-6})$, respectively. In terms of the observation of $B\to K_{1}(1270) \gamma$ by BELLE, we can remove the sign ambiguity in the mixing angle for physical states $K_1(1270)$ and $K_{1}(1400)$. In addition, we analyze annihilation contributions in the decays $B\to K_1 \phi$ and we conclude that they could be neglected.
