Color spin wave functions of heavy tetraquark states
Abstract Using the variational method, we calculate the mass of the J P = 1 + u d b ¯ b ¯ tetraquark containing two identical heavy antiquarks in a nonrelativistic potential model with color confinement and spin hyperfine interaction. In particular, we extend a previous investigation of the model by Brink and Stancu by investigating the effect of including the color anti-sextet component of the diquark configuration as well as using several more Gaussian parametrization for the L = 0 part of the spatial wave function. We find that for the heavy tetraquark, the 6 6 ¯ component among the color singlet bases is negligible and that the previously used specific Gaussian spatial configuration is good enough in obtaining the ground state energy.

Nuclear Symmetry Energy with QCD Sum Rule
We calculate the nucleon self-energies in an isospin asymmetric nuclear matter using QCD sum rule. Taking the difference of these for the neutron and proton enables us to express an important part of the nuclear symmetry energy in terms of local operators. Calculating the operator product expansion up to mass dimension six operators, we find that the main contribution to the difference comes from the iso-vector scalar and vector operators, which is reminiscent to the case of relativistic mean field type theories where mesons with aforementioned quantum numbers produce the difference and provide the dominant mechanism for nuclear symmetry energy.

A QCD Sum Rule Approach with an Explicit Di-quark Field
We introduce a phenomenological QCD sum rule with an explicit diquark field. We investigate certain configurations of hadrons are expected to have a good diquark structure. The parameters of the model are a diquark mass $${(m_\phi)}$$ and condensate $${(\langle \phi^2\rangle)}$$ . Assuming that Λ baryons can be represented by a diquark and a spectator quark configuration, we find the sum rule works well for Λ, Λc, and Λb. We also find a duality relation between the mass and the condensate for which the parameter sets give good Borel curves. To maintain good Borel curve, a smaller diquark condensate is needed for an increased diquark mass. Using these parameter sets, we test the diquark structure in some hadrons which contain both good and bad diquark configurations.

Nucleon magnetic form factors in the cloudy bag model
Abstract The nucleon magnetic moments and magnetic form factors have been calculated in the cloudy bag model. The π NN, π N Δ , γπ form factors and the CM corrections have been taken into account. We obtained very good results for these quantities.

Subthreshold cascade production in heavy ion collisions
Using a gauged flavor SU(3)-invariant hadronic Lagrangian, we have calculated the cross sections for the strangeness-exchange reactions in the Born approximation. These cross sections are then used in the Relativistic Vlasov-Uehling-Uhlenbeck (RVUU) transport model to study Ξ production in Ar+KCl collisions at incident energy of 1.76A GeV and impact parameter b = 3.5 fm. We find that including the contributions of hyperonhyperon scattering channels strongly enhances the yield of Ξ, leading to the abundance ratio which is essentially consistent with the recently measured value of by the HADES collaboration at GSI.

Snakes and spin rotators
The generalized snake configuration offers advantages of either shorter total snake length and smaller orbit displacement in the compact configuration or the multi-functions in the split configuration. We found that the compact configuration can save about 10% of the total length of a snake. On other hand, the spilt snake configuration can be used both as a snake and as a spin rotator for the helicity state. Using the orbit compensation dipoles, the spilt snake configuration can be located at any distance on both sides of the interaction point of a collider provided that there is no net dipole rotation between two halves of the snake. The generalized configuration is then applied to the partial snake excitation. Simple formula have been obtained to understand the behavior of the partial snake. Similar principle can also be applied to the spin rotators. We also estimate the possible snake imperfections are due to various construction errors of the dipole magnets. Accuracy of field error of better than 10{sup {minus}4} will be significant. 2 refs., 5 figs.

Prompt Photons in Photoproduction at HERA
First inclusive measurements of isolated prompt photons in photoproduction at HERA have been made with the ZEUS detector. Cross sections are given as a function of the pseudorapidity and the transverse energy of the photon, for E_T^gamma > 5 GeV in the gamma-p centre-of-mass energy range 134-285 GeV. Comparisons are made with predictions from LO Monte Carlo models and NLO QCD calculations. For forward eta^gamma (proton direction) good agreement is found, but in the rear direction all predictions fall below the data.

First experimental test of emittance measurement using the quadrupole-mode transfer function
We carried out the first experimental test of the emittance (thermal energy) measurement using the quadrupole-mode transfer function. We show that this method can be applied to measure the intrinsic thermal energy dynamical systems nondestructively. Since the QTF does not depend on the beam distribution, this method can be used to measure the rms emittance of different dynamical systems.

Holographic description of quantum field theory
Abstract We propose that general D-dimensional quantum field theories are dual to ( D + 1 ) -dimensional local quantum theories which in general include objects with spin two or higher. Using a general prescription, we construct a ( D + 1 ) -dimensional theory which is holographically dual to the D-dimensional O ( N ) vector model. From the holographic theory, the phase transition and critical properties of the model in dimensions D > 2 are described.

Constraints on the coupled quintessence from cosmic microwave background anisotropy and matter power spectrum
We discuss the evolution of linear perturbations in a quintessence model in which the scalar field is nonminimally coupled to cold dark matter. We consider the effects of this coupling on both cosmic microwave background temperature anisotropies and matter perturbations. Because of the modification of the scale of cold dark matter as {rho}{sub c}={rho}{sub c}{sup (0)}a{sup -3+{xi}}, we can shift the turnover in the matter power spectrum even without changing the present energy densities of matter and radiation. This can be used to constrain the strength of the coupling. We find that the phenomenology of this model is consistent with current observations up to the coupling power n{sub c}{<=}0.01 while adopting the current parameters measured by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe. Upcoming cosmic microwave background observations continuing to focus on resolving the higher peaks may put strong constraints on the strength of the coupling.
