Gravitational wave in Lorentz violating gravity
By making use of the weak gravitational field approximation, we obtain a linearized solution of the gravitational vacuum field equation in an anisotropic spacetime. The plane-wave solution and dispersion relation of gravitational wave is presented explicitly. There is possibility that the speed of gravitational wave is larger than the speed of light and the casuality still holds. We show that the energy-momentum of gravitational wave in the ansiotropic spacetime is still well defined and conserved.

Symmetry and special relativity in Finsler spacetime with constant curvature
Within the framework of projective geometry, we investigate kinematics and symmetry in (alpha, beta) spacetime one special types of Finsler spacetime. The projectively flat (alpha, beta) spacetime with constant flag curvature is divided into four types. The symmetry in type A-Riemann spacetime with constant sectional curvature-is just the one in de Sitter special relativity. The symmetry in type B-locally Minkowski spacetime-is just the one in very special relativity. It is found that type C-Funk spacetime and type D-scaled Berwald's metric spacetime both possess the Lorentz group as its isometric group. The geodesic equation, algebra and dispersion relation in the (alpha, beta) spacetime are given. The corresponding invariant special relativity in the four types of (alpha, beta) spacetime contain two parameters, the speed of light and a geometrical parameter, which may relate to the new physical scale. They all reduce to Einstein's special relativity while the geometrical parameter vanishes. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Massive domain wall fermions on four-dimensional anisotropic lattices
We formulate the massive domain wall fermions on anisotropic lattices. For the massive domain wall fermion, we find that the dispersion relation assumes the usual form in the low momentum region when the bare parameters are properly tuned. The quark self-energy and the quark field renormalization constants are calculated to one-loop in bare lattice perturbation theory. For light domain wall fermions, we verified that the chiral mode is stable against quantum fluctuations on anisotropic lattices. This calculation serves as a guidance for the tuning of the parameters in the quark action in future numerical simulations.

OPERA SUPERLUMINAL NEUTRINOS AND KINEMATICS IN FINSLER SPACETIME
The OPERA collaboration recently reported that the muon neutrinos could be superluminal. More recently, Cohen and Glashow pointed that such superluminal neutrinos would be suppressed since they lose their energies rapidly via bremsstrahlung. Here, we propose that the Finslerian nature of the space time could account for the superluminal phenomena of particles. The Finsler spacetime permits the existence of the superluminal behavior of particles while the causality still holds. A new dispersion relation is obtained in a class of Finsler spacetimes. It is shown that the superluminal speed is linearly dependent on the energy per unit mass of the particle. We find that such a superluminal speed formula is consistent with the data of the OPERA, MINOS and Fermilab-1979 neutrino experiments as well as the observations on the neutrinos from the SN1987A.

Two particle states in an asymmetric box and the elastic scattering phases
The exact two-particle energy eigenstates in a generic asymmetric rectangular box with periodic boundary conditions in all three directions are studied. Their relations with the elastic scattering phases of the two particles in the continuum are obtained for both ${D}_{4}$ and ${D}_{2}$ symmetries. These results can be viewed as a generalization of the corresponding formulas in a cubic box obtained by L\"uscher before. In particular, the s-wave scattering length is related to the energy shift in the finite box. Possible applications of these formulas are also discussed.

Two-loop QCD correction to differential semi-leptonic b→u decays in the shape-function region
Abstract We calculate the two-loop QCD correction to the form factors of on-shell b -quark decay to an energetic massless quark, which constitutes the last missing piece required for an O ( α s 2 ) determination of | V u b | from inclusive semi-leptonic B ¯ → X u l ν ¯ decays in the shape-function region.

A six-dimensional cosmology solution with GUT and monopole-induced spontaneous compactification
In this paper, the authors present a cosmological solution of a six-dimensional Einstein-gauge unification theory to which is added a matter term. This exact solution appears that cosmology of the very early universe may differ considerably from the usually contemplated scenarios.

Search for GeV Gamma‐Ray Bursts with the ARGO‐YBJ Detector in Scaler Mode
The ARGO‐YBJ experiment is a full coverage array made of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) operated in streamer mode to detect the extensive array showers (EASs). With large field of view (>2sr) and high duty cycle (>90%), the ARGO‐YBJ detector is the right ground‐based apparatus to detect VHE GRBs, while the high altitude (4300 m a.s.l) and scaler working mode enable it to detect GRBs in the GeV region as high energy follow‐up observation of satellites such as SWIFT. If a GRB signal is detected, the four scaler channels, which correspond to different energy thresholds, can provide further information on the energy spectrum and its cut‐off. More than 40 SWIFT GRBs were in ARGO‐YBJ field of view, no significant excess was detected till now.

Fluctuation with dust of de Sitter ground state of scalar-tensor gravity
An exact de Sitter solution of scalar-tensor gravity is found in our recent work, in which the non-minimal coupling scalar is rolling along a non-constant potential. Based on this solution, a dust-filled FRW universe is explored in frame of scalar-tensor gravity in this article. The effective dark energy induced by the sole non-minimal scalar can be quintessence-like, phantom-like, and more significantly, can cross the phantom divide. The rich and varied properties of scalar-tensor gravity even with only one scalar is shown.

Neutron–proton effective mass splitting in neutron-rich matter at normal density from analyzing nucleon–nucleus scattering data within an isospin dependent optical model
Abstract The neutron–proton effective mass splitting in asymmetric nucleonic matter of isospin asymmetry δ and normal density is found to be m n − p ⁎ ≡ ( m n ⁎ − m p ⁎ ) / m = ( 0.41 ± 0.15 ) δ from analyzing globally 1088 sets of reaction and angular differential cross sections of proton elastic scattering on 130 targets with beam energies from 0.783 MeV to 200 MeV, and 1161 sets of data of neutron elastic scattering on 104 targets with beam energies from 0.05 MeV to 200 MeV within an isospin dependent non-relativistic optical potential model. It sets a useful reference for testing model predictions on the momentum dependence of the nucleon isovector potential necessary for understanding novel structures and reactions of rare isotopes.
