Dissipative potential induced by QCD at finite temperature and density
In the framework of QCD at finite temperature, we have obtained dissipative factors for the effective potential between q and {bar q} which would partly explain the J/{psi} suppression in the quark gluon plasma (QGP). The derivation of the dissipative potential in the QGP is presented and the case in the hadron matter (HM) is briefly discussed. The suppression effects are numerically estimated based on simple approximations and a comparison with that caused by the Debye screening mechanism is also presented. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}

$CP$ 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%.

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.

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.

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})

Transverse momentum broadening due to the multiple scattering
Using the Drell-Yan process in hadron-nucleus collisions and deeply inelastic lepton-nucleus scattering (DIS) as examples, I show that the transverse momentum broadening can be expressed in terms of four-parton correlation functions. I argue that jet broadening in DIS provide an excellent measurement of the four-parton correlation functions and a test of QCD treatment of the 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}

Nuclear dependence in the Drell-Yan transverse momentum distribution
We calculate the nuclear enhancement in the Drell-Yan transverse momentum distribution in hadron-nucleus collisions. In terms of the multiple scattering picture, we compute the contributions from double scattering. Applying the generalized factorization theorem, we express the nuclear enhancement in terms of twist-4 nuclear parton correlation functions. Using the known information on these twist-4 parton correlation functions, we estimate the nuclear enhancement for Drell-Yan pairs in the large q{sub T} region. We also discuss the source of nuclear suppression in the small q{sub T} region. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}

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.

Nuclear enhanced power corrections to DIS structure functions
Abstract We calculate nuclear enhanced power corrections to structure functions measured in deeply inelastic lepton–nucleus scattering in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). We find that the nuclear medium enhanced power corrections at order of O ( α s / Q 2 ) enhance the longitudinal structure function  F L , and suppress the transverse structure function  F 1 . We demonstrate that strong nuclear effects in σ A / σ D and R A / R D , recently observed by HERMES Collaboration, can be explained in terms of the nuclear enhanced power corrections.
