Proposal for Studying N* Resonances with anti-p p ---> anti-p n pi+ Reaction
A theoretical study of $\bar{p}p \to \bar{p}n \pi^+ $ reaction for anti-proton beam energy from 1 to 4 GeV is made by including contributions from various known $N^*$ and $\Delta^*$ resonances. It is found that for the beam energy around 1.5 GeV, the contribution of the Roper resonance $N^*_{(1440)}$ produced by the t-channel $\sigma$ exchange dominates over all other contributions. Since such reaction can be studied in the forthcoming $\bar{P}$ANDA experiment at Facility of Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR), the reaction will be realistically the cleanest place for studying the properties of the Roper resonance and the best place for looking for other "missing" $N^*$ resonances with large coupling to $N\sigma$.

Photoproduction of bound states with hidden charm
The photo-production of $J/\Psi$-$^3He$ bound state ($[^3He]_{J/\Psi}$) on a $^4He$ target has been investigated using the impulse approximation. The calculations have been performed using several $\gamma+N \rightarrow J/\Psi +N$ models based on the Pomeron-exchange and accounting for the pion-exchange mechanism at low energies. The $J/\Psi$ wavefunctions in $[^3He]_{J/\Psi}$ are generated from various $J/\Psi$-nucleus potentials which are constructed by either using a procedure based on the Pomeron-quark coupling mechanism or folding a $J/\Psi$-N potential ($v_{J/\Psi,N}$) into the nuclear densities. We consider $v_{J/\Psi,N}$ derived from the effective field theory approach, Lattice QCD, and Pomeron-quark coupling mechanism. The upper bound of the predicted total cross sections is about $0.1 - 0.3$ pico-barn. We also consider the possibility of photo-production of a six quark-$J/\Psi$ bound state ($[q^6]_{J/\Psi})$ on the $^3He$ target. The Compound Bag Model of $NN$ scattering and the quark cluster model of nuclei are used to estimate the $[q^6]$-N wavefunction in $^3He$ by imposing the condition that the calculated $^3He$ charge form factor must be consistent with what is predicted by the conventional nuclear model. The upper bound of the predicted total cross sections of $\gamma + ^3He \rightarrow [q^6]_{J/\Psi} +N$ is about 2 - 4 pico-barn, depending on the model of $\gamma+N \rightarrow J/\Psi +N$ used in the calculations. Our results call for the need of precise measurements of $\gamma+p \rightarrow J/\Psi +p$ and also the $\gamma+^2H\rightarrow J/\Psi +n + p $ reactions near the threshold.

Further evidence for the Sigma* resonance with J**P = 1/2- around 1380-MeV
The unquenched quark models predict the new particle $\Sigma^*$ with spin parity $J^P=1/2^-$ and its mass is around the well established $\Sigma^*(1385)$ with $J^P=3/2^+$. Here by using the effective Lagrangian approach we study \kp\ reaction at the range of $\Lambda^{*}(1520)$ peak, comparing the resulting total cross section, and $\pi^+\pi^-$, $\Lambda\pi^+$, $\Lambda\pi^-$ invariant squared mass distributions for various incident $K^-$ momenta, as well as the production angular distribution of the $\Lambda$ with the data from the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory 25-inch hydrogen bubble chamber, we find that, apart from the existing resonance $\Sigma^{*}(1385)$ with $J^P=3/2^+$, there is a strong evidence for the existence of the new resonance $\Sigma^{*}$ with $J^P=1/2^-$ around 1380 MeV. Higher statistic data on relevant reactions are needed to clarify the situation.

Hyperon Production from Neutrino–Nucleon Reaction
The neutrino induced hyperon production processes $${\bar{\nu}_{e/\mu} + p \to e^+/\mu^+ + \pi + \Lambda/\Sigma}$$ν¯e/μ+p→e+/μ++π+Λ/Σ may provide a unique clean place for studying low energy $${\pi\Lambda/\Sigma}$$πΛ/Σ interaction and hyperon resonances below KN threshold. The production rates for some neutrino induced hyperon production processes are estimated with theoretical models. Suggestions are made for the study of hyperon production from neutrino–nucleon reaction at present and future neutrino facilities.

Role of the possible $\Sigma^*(\frac{1}{2}^-)$ state in the $\Lambda p \to \Lambda p \pi^0$ reaction
The $\Lambda p \to \Lambda p \pi^0$ reaction near threshold is studied within an effective Lagrangian method. The production process is described by single-pion and single-kaon exchange. In addition to the role played by the $\Sigma^*(1385)$ resonance of spin-parity $J^P = 3/2^+$, the effects of a newly proposed $\Sigma^*$ ($J^P = 1/2^-$) state with mass and width around $1380$ MeV and $120$ MeV are investigated. We show that our model leads to a good description of the experimental data on the total cross section of the $\Lambda p \to \Lambda p \pi^0$ reaction by including the contributions from the possible $\Sigma^*(\frac{1}{2}^-)$ state. However, the theoretical calculations by considering only the $\Sigma^*(1385)$ resonance fail to reproduce the experimental data, especially for the enhancement close to the reaction threshold. On the other hand, it is found that the single-pion exchange is dominant. Furthermore, we also demonstrate that the angular distributions provide direct information of this reaction, hence could be useful for the investigation of the existence of the $\Sigma^*(\frac{1}{2}^-)$ state and may be tested by future experiments.

Interaction of vector mesons with baryons and nuclei
After some short introductory remarks on particular issues on the vector mesons in nuclei, in this paper we present a short review of recent developments concerning the interaction of vector mesons with baryons and with nuclei from a modern perspective using the local hidden gauge formalism for the interaction of vector mesons. We present results for the vector baryon interaction and in particular for the resonances which appear as composite states, dynamically generated from the interaction of vector mesons with baryons, taking also the mixing of these states with pseudoscalars and baryons into account. We then venture into the charm sector, reporting on hidden charm baryon states around 4400 MeV, generated from the interaction of vector mesons and baryons with charm, which have a strong repercussion on the properties of the J/�N interaction. We also address the interaction of K ∗ with nuclei and make suggestions to measure the predicted huge width in the medium by means of the transparency ratio. The formalism is extended to study the phenomenon of J/ψ suppression in nuclei via J/ψ photoproduction reactions.

Thermal fluctuations in viscous cosmology
In this Letter we investigate the power spectrum of thermal fluctuations in very early stage of viscous cosmology. When the state parameter as well as the viscous coefficient of a barotropic fluid is properly chosen, a scale invariant spectrum with large non-Gaussianity can be obtained. In contrast to the results previously obtained in string gas cosmology and holographic cosmology, we find the non-Gaussianity in this context can be k-independent such that it is not suppressed at large scale, which is expected to be testified in future observation.

Thermal non-Gaussianity in holographic cosmology
Recently it has been shown that the thermal holographic fluctuations can give rise to an almost scale invariant spectrum of metric perturbations since in this scenario the energy is proportional to the area of the boundary rather than the volume. Here we calculate the non-Gaussianity of the spectrum of cosmological fluctuations in holographic phase, which can imprint on the radiation dominated universe by an abrupt transition. We find that if the matter is phantom-like, the non-Gaussianity fNLequil can reach O(1) or even be larger than O(1). Especially in the limit ω→−5/3, the non-Gaussianity is very large and negative. Furthermore, since the energy is proportional to the area, the thermal holographic non-Gaussianity depends linearly on k if we neglect the variation in T during the transition (fixed temperature).

(Non)-supersymmetric Marginal Deformations from Twistor String Theory
The tree-level amplitudes in the β-deformed supersymmetric gauge theory are derived from twistor string theory. We first show that a simple generalization of [M. Kulaxizi, K. Zoubos, Marginal deformations of N=4 SYM from open/closed twistor strings, Nucl. Phys. B 738 (2006) 317, hep-th/0410122] gives us the desired results for all the tree-level amplitudes up to first order in the deformation parameter β. Then we provide a new proposal which matches field theory to all orders of β. With our deformed twistor string theory, it can be shown that integration over connected instantons and disconnected instantons remain equivalent. The tree-level amplitudes in the non-supersymmetric γ-deformed theory can be obtained using a similar deformation of the twistor string. Finally, we find improved twistor string results for the tree-level purely gluonic amplitudes in theories with more general marginal deformations.

Emergence of gap from holographic fermions on charged Lifshitz background
A bstractWe report a dynamical formation of a gap from holographic fermions with dipole coupling on charged Lifshitz background. For a large enough dipole coupling, a gap opens as that found in RN-AdS background. By studying the density of states A(ω), one shows that the onset of the gap is near p ≃ 4.8 for the case of q = 2 and mζ = 0 and the width of the gap becomes larger as the strength of the interaction keeps increasing. Similar with that found in RN-AdS black hole, there are also a transfer of spectral weight over all energy scales by tuning the dipole coupling. Finally, a brief discussion on the effect of the dynamical exponent z is also presented.
