Dirac structure of quark-hadron vertex in Bethe-Salpeter wave function under the framework covariant instantaneous ansatz
In the framework of covariant instantaneous ansatz, the general form of the quark-hadron vertex of certain kind of mesons is provided; how to arrange the Dirac covariants of the complete set by the power counting rule is discussed. Employing the leading order Dirac covariants for vector and pseudoscalar mesons, their decay constants are calculated. This proceeding paper is complementary to our other two previous papers, emphasizing on some conceptual discussions. The strong interaction is special for its basic degree of freedoms are confined in hadrons, preventing the measurement of the “really-free” quanta, i.e., quarks and gluons in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Hence, a description for the asymptotic states, the hadrons, in the strong interactions/collisions, with the language of the basic quanta/fields, quarks, and gluons, is a necessary but challenging task. In the framework of relativistic quantum field theory, at least one “standard” way to describe bound states, i.e., the Bethe-Salpeter wave function (BSW), which is the solution of the Bethe-Salpeter integral equation (BSE), seems available. Through an extensive employment of various techniques in the quantum field theory, such as the DysonSchwinger Equations, one may expect to know the movement of the quarks and gluons in hadrons, and to calculate various kinds of interactions/collisions in various energy scales with such knowledge. This is one of the most important purposes of studying the hadron structure. However, a full understanding of the physical picture of the BSW and a satisfactory way to solve the BES in QCD are still beyond approach. Even, one is not able to give the “rigorous” form of the kernel of the BSE without practical non-perturbative techniques in QCD. More specifically, one has a very powerful picture/tool in high energy hadronic interactions, i.e., the perturbative QCD inspired parton model, but how to approach this parton picture starting from low energy BSW of hadron is an open question. At the same time, the standard factorization scheme is often facing danger in various special processes [1, 2]. So it is very much justified to put more labour on the study of BSW/BSE, especially their

Gluon Shadowing and Hadron Production at RHIC
Nuclear Science Division, Mailstop 70-319, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, Berkeley, California 94720.(October 3,2001)Hadron multiplicity in the central rapidity region of high-energy heavy-ion collisions is investi-gated within a two-component mini-jet model which consists of soft and semi-hard particle produc-tion. The hard contribution from mini-jets is reevaluated using the latest parameterization of partondistributions and nuclear shadowing. The energy dependence of the experimental data from RHICrequires a strong nuclear shadowing of the gluon distribution in this model. The centrality depen-dence of the hadron multiplicity at√s = 130 GeV is reproduced well with the impact-parameterdependent parton shadowing. However, energy variation of the centrality dependence is needed todistinguish diﬀerent particle production mechanisms such as the parton saturation model.25.75.-q,12.38.Bx,12.38.Mh,24.85.+p

Combination of Heavy Quark with Partons from Quark-Gluon Matter: a Scaling Probe
In relativistic heavy ion collisions, the cross section of heavy hadron production via the combination of a heavy quark with a light one from the quark-gluon matter can be factorized. It is the convolution of twist-4 combination matrix elements, the parameters corresponding to the parton distributions of the quark-gluon matter, as well as the hard partonic cross section of heavy quark production calculable in PQCD. These parton distributions and combination matrix elements are functions of a scaling variable which is the momentum fraction of the heavy quark w.r.t. the heavy hadron. In the same factorization framework, the combination matrix elements appear in other `simpler' processes and can be extracted. Taking them as inputs, comparing with data from RHIC and (future) LHC, we can get the parton distributions of the quark-gluon matter just as the similar way we get those of nucleon, pion, or photon, etc..

Search for a doubly charmed hadron at B factories
The doubly charmed hadron production at B factories is of special importance for the study of the hadron structure and the color connections before hadronization. To suppress the combination background fluctuations of the reconstructed hadron mass spectra, we suggest a three-jet event shape trigger. After these three jets are identified by their energy and angular distributions, it is found that: 1) The background process $e^+ e^- \to c\bar {c} \to h's$ in consideration of the final hadron system $\Lambda_c^+K^-\pi^+ +X$ are significantly suppressed. 2) For the selected events, about half of the particles, $\Lambda_c^+$, $K^-$, $\pi^+$, which obviously can not belong to the decay products of doubly charmed hadron, can be vetoed. The relevant hadronization is investigated.

Colour connections of four quark $Q\bar{Q}Q'\bar{Q}'$ system and doubly heavy baryon production in $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation
The hadronization effects induced by various colour connections of the four quark system in $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation are briefly reviewed. A special colour connection of four heavy quark system without colour-separation favours the production of doubly heavy baryons. For the related three-jet case, the corresponding hadronization has not been considered. We argue that it can be effectively described as two string fragmentation besides the leading heavy diquark fragmentation. The production rate and the properties of final state hadron systems are discussed. Emphasis is on the string effect as a finger print of this hadronization procedure.

Unitarity and Entropy Change in Exclusive Quark Combination Models
Entropy change in exclusive quark combination models is not an isolated problem. Contrary to adding and tuning some parameters to the relevant model(s) to fix the entropy, we show that it relates to the most general principles. Unitarity of the combination model is demonstrated to play the central r\^{o}le that guarantees the non-decrease of the entropy in the exclusive combination process.

Renormalization group improved predictions for $t\bar{t}W^\pm$ production at hadron colliders
We study the factorization and resummation of the $t\bar{t}W^\pm$ production at hadron colliders. The cross section in the threshold limit can be factorized into a convolution of hard and soft functions and parton distribution functions with the soft-collinear effective theory. We calculate the next-to-leading order soft function for the associated production of the heavy quark pair and colorless particle, and we perform the resummation calculation with the next-to-next-to-leading logarithms accuracy. Our results show that the resummation effects reduce the dependence of the cross section on the scales significantly and increase the total cross section by $7-13\%$ compared with NLO QCD results.

Decomposition Theory of Spin Connection and Topological Structure of Gauss-Bonnet-Chern Theorem on Manifold With Boundary
The index theorem of Euler-Poincar\'e characteristic of manifold with boundary is given by making use of the general decomposition theory of spin connection. We shows the sum of the total index of a vector field $\phi $ and half the total of the projective vector field of $\phi $ on the boundary equals the Euler-Poincar\'e characteristic of the manifold. Detailed discussion on the topological structure of the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern theorem on manifold with boundary is given. The Hopf indices and Brouwer degrees label the local structure of the Euler density.

Current leads for superconducting magnets of ADS injector I
In an ADS injector I, there are five superconducting magnets in each cryomodule. Each superconducting magnet contains a solenoid magnet, a horizontal dipole corrector (HDC), and a vertical dipole corrector (VDC). Six current leads will be required to power the electrical circuits, from room temperature to the 2.1 K liquid helium bath: two leads carry 100 A current for the solenoid magnet while the other four carry 12 A for the HDC and the VDC. This paper presents the principle of current lead optimization, which includes the cooling methods, the choice of material and structure, and the issues for current lead integration.

Observational constraints on Tachyon and DBI inflation
We present a systematic method for evaluation of perturbation observables in non-canonical single-field inflation models within the slow-roll approximation, which allied with field redefinitions enables predictions to be established for a wide range of models. We use this to investigate various non-canonical inflation models, including Tachyon inflation and DBI inflation. The Lambert function will be used extensively in our method for the evaluation of observables. In the Tachyon case, in the slow-roll approximation the model can be approximated by a canonical field with a redefined potential, which yields predictions in better agreement with observations than the canonical equivalents. For DBI inflation models we consider contributions from both the scalar potential and the warp geometry. In the case of a quartic potential, we find a formula for the observables under both non-relativistic (sound speed cs2 ~ 1) and relativistic behaviour (cs2 1) of the scalar DBI inflaton. For a quadratic potential we find two branches in the non-relativistic cs2 ~ 1 case, determined by the competition of model parameters, while for the relativistic case cs2 → 0, we find consistency with results already in the literature. We present a comparison to the latest Planck satellite observations. Most of the non-canonical models we investigate, including the Tachyon, are better fits to data than canonical models with the same potential, but we find that DBI models in the slow-roll regime have difficulty in matching the data.

First calculation of cosmic-ray muon spallation backgrounds for MeV astrophysical neutrino signals in Super-Kamiokande
signals is much larger than the signal rates for kinetic energies of about 6 { 18 MeV. Surprisingly, there is no published calculation of the production and properties of these backgrounds in water, though there are such studies for scintillator. Using the simulation code FLUKA and theoretical insights, we detail how muons lose energy in water, produce secondary particles, how and where these secondaries produce isotopes, and the properties of the backgrounds from their decays. We reproduce Super-Kamiokande measurements of the total background to within a factor of 2, which is good given that the isotope yields vary by orders of magnitude and that some details of the experiment are unknown to us at this level. Our results break aggregate data into component isotopes, reveal their separate production mechanisms, and preserve correlations between them. We outline how to implement more eective background rejection techniques using this information. Reducing backgrounds in solar and DSNB studies by even a factor of a few could help lead to important new discoveries.
