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.

Simulations of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions
Recent development in simulation of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions is reviewed. Hard and semihard collisions on the parton level are shown to play important roles both in particle production and initial thermalization of the dense matter. Various nuclear and medium effects are studied some of which in turn can provide unique signatures of the quark gluon plasma formation.

Azimuthal asymmetries in semi-inclusive DIS with polarized beam and/or target and their nuclear dependences
Using the formalism obtained from collinear expansion, we calculate the differential cross section and azimuthal asymmetries in semi-inclusive deeply inelastic lepton-nucleon (nucleus) scattering process e − +N(A) → e − +q+X with both polarized beam and polarized target up to twist-3. We derive the azimuthal asymmetries in terms of twist-3 parton correlation functions. We simplify the results by using the QCD equation of motion that leads to a set of relationships between different twist-3 functions. We further study the nuclear dependence of azimuthal asymmetries and show that they have similar suppression factors as those in the unpolarized reactions.

Multiple parton scattering in nuclei: gauge invariance
Within the framework of a generalized collinear factorization for multiple parton scattering in nuclear medium, twist-4 contributions to DIS off a large nucleus can be factorized as a convolution of hard parts and two-parton correlation functions. The hard parts for the quark scattering in the light-cone gauge correspond to interaction with a transverse (physical) gluon in the target, while they are given by the second derivative of the cross section with a longitudinal gluon in the covariant gauge. We provide a general proof of the equivalence of the hard parts in the light-cone and covariant gauge. We further demonstrate the equivalence in calculations of twist-4 contributions to semi-inclusive cross section of DIS in both lowest order and next leading order. Calculations of the nuclear transverse momentum broadening of the struck quark in the light-cone and covariant gauge are 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.

CHARM PRODUCTION AT LARGE RAPIDITIES IN p+p AND d+Au COLLISIONS AT PHENIX AT RHIC
We study charm production through dimuon and single muon measurements at forward and backward rapidities in p+p and d+Au collisions with the PHENIX muon detectors. We also compare open charm to $J/\psi$ yields in the forward and backward rapidities in d+Au collisions and study the origin of the large forward and backward asymmetry in open charm production observed by the PHENIX experiment.

Effects of little Higgs models on single top production at the e- gamma colliders
In the framework of the littlest Higgs($LH$) model and the littlest Higgs model with T-parity($LHT$), We investigate the single top production process $e^{-}\gamma\to \nu_{e}b\bar{t}$, and calculate the corrections of these two models to the cross section of this process. We find that in the reasonable parameter space, the correction terms for the tree-level $Wtb$ couplings coming from the $LHT$ model can generate significantly corrections to the cross section of this process, which might be detected in the future high energy linear $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider($ILC$) experiments. However, the contributions of the new gauge boson $W^{\pm}_{H}$ predicted by the $LH$ model to this process is very small.

Dynamics of giant-gravitons in the LLM geometry and the fractional quantum Hall effect
Abstract The LLM's 1 / 2 BPS solutions of IIB supergravity are known to be closely related to the integer quantum Hall droplets with filling factor ν = 1 , and the giant gravitons in the LLM geometry behave like the quasi-holes in those droplets. In this paper we consider how the fractional quantum Hall effect may arise in this context, by studying the dynamics of giant graviton probes in a special LLM geometry, the AdS 5 × S 5 background, that corresponds to a circular droplet. The giant gravitons we study are D3-branes wrapping on a 3-sphere in S 5 . Their low energy world-volume theory, truncated to the 1 / 2 BPS sector, is shown to be described by a Chern–Simons finite-matrix model. We demonstrate that these giant gravitons may condense at right density further into fractional quantum Hall fluid due to the repulsive interaction in the model, giving rise to the new states in IIB string theory. Some features of the novel physics of these new states are discussed.

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%.

Fermi Hyper-Netted Chain Theory on a Lattice: The Hubbard Model
We review a new lattice version of Fermi Hyper-Netted Chain method for the study of strongly interacting electrons. The ordinary paramagnetic and the spin density wave functions have been correlated with Jastrow-type and e — d correlations, and the corresponding FHNC equations for the pair distribution function, the one body density matrix and the staggered magnetization are discussed. Results for the 1D chain and 2D square lattice models are presented and compared with the available results obtained within Quantum Monte Carlo, variational Monte Carlo and exact diagonalization of a 4x4 Hubbard cluster. Particularly interesting are the strong effects of e — d correlations on E/Nt and on the momentum distribution as well as antiferromagnetic behavior away from half filling found in our FHNC calculations in agreement with other studies.
