Chiral anomaly and local polarization effect from the quantum kinetic approach.
A power expansion scheme is set up to determine the Wigner function that satisfies the quantum kinetic equation for spin-1/2 charged fermions in a background electromagnetic field. Vector and axial-vector current induced by magnetic field and vorticity are obtained simultaneously from the Wigner function. The chiral magnetic and vortical effect and chiral anomaly are shown as natural consequences of the quantum kinetic equation. The axial-vector current induced by vorticity is argued to lead to a local polarization effect along the vorticity direction in heavy-ion collisions.

Berry curvature and four-dimensional monopoles in the relativistic chiral kinetic equation.
We derive a relativistic chiral kinetic equation with manifest Lorentz covariance from Wigner functions of spin-1/2 massless fermions in a constant background electromagnetic field. It contains vorticity terms and a four-dimensional Euclidean Berry monopole which gives an axial anomaly. By integrating out the zeroth component of the 4-momentum p, we reproduce the previous three-dimensional results derived from the Hamiltonian approach, together with the newly derived vorticity terms. The phase space continuity equation has an anomalous source term proportional to the product of electric and magnetic fields (FσρF[over ˜]σρ∼EσBσ). This provides a unified interpretation of the chiral magnetic and vortical effects, chiral anomaly, Berry curvature, and the Berry monopole in the framework of Wigner functions.

Relics of Minijets amid Anisotropic Flows in High-energy Heavy-ion Collisions
Two dimensional low-$p_T$ dihadron correlations in azimuthal angle $\phi$ and pseudo-rapidity $\eta$ in high-energy heavy-ion collisions are investigated within both the HIJING Monte Carlo model and an event-by-event (3+1)D ideal hydrodynamic model. Without final-state interaction and collective expansion, dihadron correlations from HIJING simulations have a typical structure from minijets that contains a near-side two-dimensional peak and an away-side ridge along the $\eta$-direction. In contrast, event-by-event (3+1)D ideal hydrodynamic simulations with fluctuating initial conditions from the HIJING+AMPT model produce a strong dihadron correlation that has an away-side as well as a near-side ridge. Relics of intrinsic dihadron correlation from minijets in the initial conditions still remain as superimposed on the two ridges. By varying initial conditions from HIJING+AMPT, we study effects of minijets, non-vanishing initial flow and longitudinal fluctuation on the final state dihadron correlations. With a large rapidity gap, one can exclude near-side correlations from minijet relics and dihadron correlations can be described by the superposition of harmonic flows up to the 6th order. When long-range correlations with a large rapidity gap are subtracted from short-range correlations with a small rapidity gap, the remaining near-side dihadron correlations result solely from relics of minijets. Low transverse momentum hadron yields per trigger ($p_T^{\rm trig} <4$ GeV/$c$, $p_T^{\rm asso}<2$ GeV/$c$) in central heavy-ion collisions are significantly enhanced over that in p+p collisions while widths in azimuthal angle remain the same, in qualitative agreement with experimental data.

Probe initial parton density and formation time via jet quenching
Medium modification of jet fragmentation function due to multiple scattering and induced gluon radiation leads directly to jet quenching or suppression of leading particle distribution from jet fragmentation. One can extract an effective total parton energy loss which can be related to the total transverse momentum broadening. For an expanding medium, both are shown to be sensitive to the initial parton density and formation time. Therefore, one can extract the initial parton density and formation time from simultaneous measurements of parton energy loss and transverse momentum broadening. Implication of the recent experimental data on effects of detailed balance in parton energy loss is also discussed.

Role of multiple minijets in high-energy hadronic reactions.
The multiplicity distributions of charged particles in high-energy hadron collisions including the production of multiple minijets are considered in the framework of the eikonal formalism. Large-multiplicity events at high energies are found to be dominated by the production of many jets with 2{le}{ital P}{sub {ital T}}{le}4 GeV. The contributions from larger-{ital P}{sub {ital T}} minijets become prevailing for high-multiplicity fluctuations in narrow rapidity intervals.

Magnetic shield of PMT used in DAMPE electromagnetic calorimeter
The magnetic characteristics of photomultiplier tube R5610A-01 are studied in this paper. The experimental data shows that the gain of R5610A-01 loses about 53% when the magnetic field is 3G along its +X axis. A cylinder of one-layer permalloy strip is able to reduce the effect of 3G magnetic field on the PMT's gain to less than 1%.

Residual Interactions and Tilted Rotation in Odd-Odd 164Tm
High-spin spectroscopy on odd-odd {sup 164}Tm has produced new illustrations of departures from the predictions of principal-axis cranking. Among the nine strongly coupled rotational bands observed, four are assigned to the parallel and antiparallel couplings of two configurations {pi}h{sub 11/2}{nu}i{sub 13/2} and {pi}g{sub 9/2}{nu}i{sub 13/2}. This represents the first time that the high-spin properties of both couplings can be explored. We find that the measured B(M1)/B(E2) values in the K=1({up_arrow}{down_arrow}) coupling of {pi}h{sub 11/2}{nu}i{sub 13/2} are 50{percent} larger than those in the K=6 ({up_arrow}{up_arrow}) coupling, and represent the largest seen in this nucleus. Tilted-axis cranking calculations successfully explain the M1/E2 ratios in these two bands, while the particle-rotor calculations did not reproduce the full low-{ital K} enhancement. No inversion in the signatures of the K=6{pi}h{sub 11/2}{nu}i{sub 13/2} band is observed, but there is a small inversion in the K=1 coupling up to I=17{h_bar} and a large inversion in the {pi}h{sub 9/2}{nu}i{sub 13/2} band up to I=19{h_bar}. Remarkably, particle-rotor calculations with a p-n interaction included are able to reproduce these inversions. A stronger p-n interaction is needed to explain an inversion in the {pi}d{sub 3/2}{nu}i{sub 13/2} band. {copyright} {ital 1999} {ital The American Physical Society}

Nuclear Shell Structure Evolution Theory
The Self-similar-structure shell model (SSM) comes from the evolution of the conventional shell model (SM) and keeps the energy level of SM single particle harmonic oscillation motion. In SM, single particle motion is the positive harmonic oscillation and in SSM, the single particle motion is the negative harmonic oscillation. In this paper a nuclear evolution equation (NEE) is proposed. NEE describes the nuclear evolution process from gas state to liquid state and reveals the relations among SM, SSM and liquid drop model (DM). Based upon SSM and NEE theory, we propose the solution to long-standing problem of nuclear shell model single particle spin-orbit interaction energy . We demonstrate that the single particle motion in normal nuclear ground state is the negative harmonic oscillation of SSM[1][2][3][4] 
Key words: negative harmonic oscillation, nuclear evolution equation, self-similar shell model

Top quark rare three-body decays in the littlest Higgs model with T parity
In the littlest Higgs model with T-parity (LHT), the mirror quarks have flavor structures and will contribute to the top quark flavor changing neutral current. In this work, we perform an extensive investigation of the top quark rare three-body decays t{yields}cVV, (V={gamma}, Z, g) and t{yields}cff, (f=b, {tau}, {mu}, e) at one-loop level. Our results show that the branching ratios of t{yields}cgg and t{yields}cbb could reach O(10{sup -3}) in the favorite parameter space of the littlest Higgs model with T-parity, which implies that these decays may be detectable at the LHC or ILC, while for the other decays, their rates are too small to be observable at the present or future colliders.

Spinning strings on deformed AdS(5) x T**1,1 with NS B-fields
We study classical spinning closed string configuration on logarithmically deformed AdS_5 x T^{1,1} background with non-trivial Neveu-Schwarz B-field in which IIB string theory is dual to a non-conformal N=1 SU(N+M) x SU(N) gauge theory. The integrability on original AdS_5 x T^{1,1} background are significantly reduced by B-field. We find several spinning string solutions with two different ansatzs. Solutions for point-like strings and few circular strings are explicitly obtained. Folded spinning string solutions along radial direction are shown to be allowed in this background. These solutions exhibit novel properties and bring some challenges to understand them from dual quantum field theory.
