Heavy meson decay constants to 1/m(Q)
We introduce the vector meson contributions in heavy-light chiral perturbation theory (HLCPT) and construct the Lagrangian and current to the order 1/mQ. With this, to the order (Λcsb is the chiral symmetry breaking scale) we calculate corrections to fD and fB arising from coupled-channel effects to the orders 1/mc, and 1/mb. At the tree level in HLCPT, using the relativistic Bethe–Salpeter (BS) equation with the kernel containing a confinement term and a gluon exchange term in a covariant generalization of the coulomb gauge we calculate and when mQ → ∞ as well as the 1/mQ corrections. HLCPT and the heavy quark effective theory (HQET) are matched at the scale Λcsb. Adding the perturbative and nonperturbative contributions we give the values for fD and fB, respectively. It is found that our result is in agreement with the relation fD = fB from lattice calculations.

Strong decays of heavy baryons in the Bethe-Salpeter formalism
In this paper we study the properties of diquarks (composed of u and/or d quarks) in the Bethe-Salpeter (BS) formalism under the covariant instantaneous approximation. We calculate their BS wave functions and study their effective interaction with the pion. Using the effective coupling constant among the diquarks and the pion, in the heavy quark limit m{sub Q}{yields}{infinity}, we calculate the decay widths of {sigma}{sub Q}{sup (*)} (Q=c, b) in the BS formalism under the covariant instantaneous approximation and then give predictions of the decay widths {gamma}({sigma}{sub b}{sup (*)}{yields}{lambda}{sub b}+{pi})

$CP$ violation for $B^{0}\rightarrow \rho^{0}(\omega)\rho^{0}(\omega) \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-$ in QCD factorization
In the QCD factorization (QCDF) approach we study the direct $CP$ violation in $\bar{B}^{0}\rightarrow\rho^0(\omega)\rho^0(\omega)\rightarrow\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-$ via the $\rho-\omega$ mixing mechanism. We find that the $CP$ violation can be enhanced by double $\rho-\omega$ mixing when the masses of the $\pi^+\pi^-$ pairs are in the vicinity of the $\omega$ resonance, and the maximum $CP$ violation can reach 28{\%}. We also compare the results from the naive factorization and the QCD factorization.

A dynamical mechanism for the hairpin diagram
SummaryBased on the nonvalence quark-antiquark and gluon constituent structure of mesons we give a reasonable dynamical mechanism which can induce the hairpin diagram without violating the well-observed OZI rule. We calculate the hairpin amplitudes of
$$D^0 \to \overline K ^0 \eta $$
 and
$$\overline K ^0 \eta '$$
 normalized by
$$D^0 \to \overline K ^0 \pi ^0 $$
 and have found that the hairpin diagram can give rise to substantial contributions to the decays where a meson with aSU(3) flavor singlet component is involved in the final state. In this scenario, we also obtain the branching ratio of
$$D^0 \to \overline K ^0 \phi $$
 as 0.55% in comparison with the experimental data of 0.83%.

Supernova Neutrinos Detection On Earth
In this paper, we first discuss the detection of supernova neutrino on Earth. Then we propose a possible method to acquire information about θ13 smaller than 1.5 ◦ by detecting the ratio of the event numbers of different flavor supernova neutrinos. Such an sensitivity cannot yet be achieved by the Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment.

CP violation in $B^{\pm} \rightarrow \pi^{\pm}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ in the region with low invariant mass of one $\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ pair
Recently, the large CP asymmetries in B → πππ decays were found by the LHCb Collaboration to localize in the region m π+π− < 0.4 GeV. We find such large localized CP asymmetries may be due to the interference between a light scalar and ρ(770) intermediate resonances. Consequently, we argue that the distribution of CP asymmetries in the Dalitz plots of three-body B decays could be very helpful for identifying the presence of the scalar resonance.

Nuclear dependence in transverse momentum distribution for Drell-Yan pair
Abstract In terms of multiple scattering picture, I compute the nuclear dependence in Drell-Yan transverse momentum distribution, dσ / dQ 2 dq T 2 , in hadron-nucleus collisions. I present the results for large q T region and discuss the possible suppression in small q T region.

The Leading power corrections to the structure functions
We show that when Bjorken $x_B$ is large, the leading order twist-four contributions to the structure functions can be expressed in terms of the derivatives of the normal twist-two parton distributions. Our analytical results are not only consistent with the parameterized power corrections extracted from the data, but also predict the flavor dependence of the power corrections. We also discuss the impact of our analytical results on the extraction and the flavor separation of the parton distributions at large $x$.

Leading Soft Gluon Production in High Energy Nuclear Collisions
The leading soft gluon pT distribution in heavy ion collisions was ob-tained by Kovner, McLerran, and Weigert after solving classical Yang-Mills equations. I show explicitly this result can be understood in terms of conventional QCD perturbation theory. I also demonstrate that the key logarithm in their result represents the logarithm in DGLAP evolution equations.

Jet broadening in deeply inelastic scattering
In deeply inelastic lepton-nucleus scattering (DIS), the average jet transverse momentum is broadened because of the multiple scattering in the nuclear medium. The size of jet broadening is proportional to the multi-parton correlation functions inside nuclei. We show that at leading order, jet broadening in DIS and nulcear enhancement in di-jet momentum imbalance and Drell-Yan $ $ share the same four-parton correlation functions. We argue that jet broadening in DIS provide an indenpendent measurement of the four-parton correlation functions and a test of QCD treatment of multiple scattering.

Gluon minijet production in nuclear collisions at high energies
We show explicitly that the leading soft gluon p{sub T} distribution, predicted by Kovner, McLerran, and Weigert after solving classical Yang-Mills equations, can be understood in terms of conventional QCD perturbation theory. We also demonstrate that the key logarithm in their result represents the logarithm in DGLAP evolution equations. {copyright} {ital 1999} {ital The American Physical Society}
