Quantum-chromodynamic potential model for light and heavy quarkonia
Our earlier treatment for the investigation of the cc-bar, bb-bar, and tt-bar spectra is extended to other p quarkonia with u, d, s, c, and b quarks. We find that it is possible to account fully for the observed ground-state hyperfine splittings of light as well as heavy quarkonia provided that the perturbative quantum-chromodynamic potential is supplemented not only by the nonperturbative confining potential but also by a nonperturbative annihilation potential which rapidly decreases with increase in the quark mass. We also give our predictions for the experimentally interesting bu-bar, bs-bar, and bc-bar systems with unknown mass splittings.

Higgs model with ghost-field formalism
The Higgs model for the interaction of vector and scalar fields is treated by means of the ghost-field formalism, which preserves the unitarity of the scattering operator as well as simplifies the renormalization procedure. Our ghost-field formalism has some similarity to the ${R}_{\ensuremath{\xi}}$ formalism with $\ensuremath{\xi}=1$, but it does not require the introduction of the so-called gauge-compensating terms. Applications to the second-order self-energy of a scalar particle and to the fourth-order scattering of vector particles are discussed.

Relativistic Hadron Model with Intrinsic Mass Splittings
A simple mechanism for the $\mathrm{SU}(3)$-symmetry breaking in strong interactions is introduced by using the formalism of the multispinor field equations, which avoids the use of physical quarks but has resemblance to the quark model. The resulting treatment leads to the Gell-Mann-Okubo mass formula for baryons, but not for mesons. It yields approximate values of -19.5\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} and 33\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} for the $\ensuremath{\eta}\ensuremath{-}{\ensuremath{\eta}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ and $\ensuremath{\varphi}\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\omega}$ mixing angles, respectively, and also provides a reasonable explanation for the intermultiplet meson mass formula $m_{K}^{}{}_{}{}^{2}\ensuremath{-}m_{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{}{}_{}{}^{2}=m_{{K}^{*}}^{}{}_{}{}^{2}\ensuremath{-}m_{\ensuremath{\rho}}^{}{}_{}{}^{2}$.

MULTIPLE PHOTON PRODUCTION IN QUANTUM ELECTRODYNAMICS
Multiple production of photons in high-energy processes in quantum electrodynamics is investigated, and the electron-positron annihilation is specially discussed in detail. It is found that at very high energies in cosmic rays, multiple production of up to four or five observable photons can easily take place. But, the probability, according to quantum electrodynamics, for the multiple production of a larger number of observable photons is quite small.

Nonsingular potential model for heavy quarkonia.
A nonsingular potential model for heavy quarkonia is described which does not require recourse to an illegitimate perturbative treatment for the investigation of quarkonium spectra. Our overall results for the energy levels, the leptonic widths, and the E1 transition widths are in very good agreement with the experimental data for bb-bar and they are reasonably good for cc-bar. We also find that the confining part of the quarkonium potential is scalar-vector exchange rather than the currently favored scalar exchange.

Fusion barriers for heavy-ion systems
Analytical expressions for the fusion barrier height and radius have been derived from a four-parameter empirical fusion cross section formula for heavy ions. The fusion barrier parameters calculated, using these expressions, are in good agreement with the literature values.

Representations of fermionic correlators at finite temperatures
The symmetry group of the staggered fermion transfer matrix in a spatial direction is constructed at finite temperature. Hadron-like operators carrying irreducible representations of this group are written down from the breaking of the zero temperature group. Analysis of the correlators in free field theory suggests new measurements which can test current interpretations.

Critical behaviour in QCD at finite isovector chemical potential
We report an investigation of criticality in QCD at finite isovector chemical potential, mu_3, and at zero temperature. At the critical point, mu_3^c = m_pi, we find that an uncharged scalar and pseudoscalar and a charged pseudoscalar meson become massless within the resolution of our measurement. The effective long distance theory therefore breaks O(4) symmetry by charged pion condensation. This results in a rising quark number susceptibility. The baryon remains massive, as indicated by a vanishing baryon number susceptibility.
