Some mass relations for mesons and baryons in Regge phenomenology
In the quasilinear Regge trajectory ansatz, some useful linear mass inequalities, quadratic mass inequalities, and quadratic mass equalities are derived for mesons and baryons. Based on these relations, mass ranges of some mesons and baryons are given. The masses of bc and ss belonging to the pseudoscalar, vector, and tensor meson multiplets are also extracted. The J{sup P} of the baryon {xi}{sub cc}{sup +}(3520) is assigned to be (1/2){sup +}. The parameters of the (1/2){sup +} and (3/2){sup +} SU(4) baryon trajectories are extracted and the masses of the orbital excited baryons lying on the (1/2){sup +} and (3/2){sup +} trajectories are estimated. The J{sup P} assignments of baryons {xi}{sub c}(2980), {xi}{sub c}(3055), {xi}{sub c}(3077), and {xi}{sub c}(3123) are discussed. The predictions are in reasonable agreement with the existing experimental data and those suggested in many other different approaches. The mass relations and the predictions may be useful for the discovery of the unobserved meson and baryon states and the J{sup P} assignment of these states.

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%.

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})

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 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.

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.

Coherent multiple scattering effect in DIS
We present a QCD calculation of the coherent multiple scattering effect on single hadron production in semi-inclusive lepton-nucleus deep inelastic scattering (DIS). We show that the destructive interference of coherent multiple scattering leads to suppression in hadron productions. The suppression is similar to the expectations of energy loss calculations. We compare our calculation with experimental data.

Probing Multiparton Correlation Functions In Deeply Inelastic Scattering
We derive the transverse momentum broadening of the leading pions in deeply inelastic lepton-nucleus collisions. We argue that the measurement of such transverse momentum broadening can provide direct information on the multiple-parton correlation functions inside a nucleus. We also estimate the numerical values of such broadening at different values of xB and Q 2. 11.80.La, 12.38.Bx, 13.85.Ni, 24.80.-x Typeset using REVTEX

Multiple scattering and energy loss in semi-inclusive deeply inelastic eA scattering
We calculate the multiple scattering effect on single hadron production in semi-inclusive lepton-nucleus deeply inelastic scattering. We show that the quantum interference of multiple scattering amplitudes leads to suppression in hadron productions. At the leading power in medium length, the suppression can be approximately expressed in terms of a shift in $z$ of the fragmentation function $D(z)$, and could be therefore interpreted as the collisional energy loss. We compare our calculation with existing experimental data. We also discuss the effect of quark mass on the suppression. Our approach can be extended to other observables in hadronic collisions.

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.

Multiple parton scattering in nuclei: Parton energy loss
Abstract Multiple parton scattering and induced parton energy loss are studied in deeply inelastic scattering (DIS) off nuclei. The effect of multiple scattering of a highly off-shell quark and the induced parton energy loss is expressed in terms of the modification to the quark fragmentation functions. We derive such modified quark fragmentation functions and their QCD evolution equations in DIS using the generalized factorization of higher twist parton distributions. We consider double-hard and hard-soft parton scattering as well as their interferences in the same framework. The final result, which depends on both the diagonal and off-diagonal twist-four parton distributions in nuclei, demonstrates clearly the Landau–Pomeranchuk–Migdal interference features and predicts a unique nuclear modification of the quark fragmentation functions.
