Search for new strange resonances in inclusive charged kaon spectra from p̄p annihilation at rest
Charged spectra from pp annihilations at rest have been measured using the PS183 spectrometer at LEAR. From these data, charged kaon spectra are produced using time‐of‐flight separation. The spectra show structures corresponding to annihilation into the K±K−+ and K*±K−+ channels. A search for structures indicating other resonances is discussed.

Measurement of the gamma gamma partial width of the chi 2 charmonium resonance.
The E760 Collaboration has studied the reaction [ital [bar p]p][r arrow][chi][sub 2][r arrow][gamma][gamma] using a hydrogen gas jet target in the Fermilab antiproton acumulator ring. The following values are obtained for the branching ratio and partial width to two photons; [ital B]([chi][sub 2][r arrow][gamma][gamma])=(1.60[plus minus]0.45)[times]10[sup [minus]4] and [Gamma]([chi][sub 2][r arrow][gamma][gamma])=321[plus minus]95 eV.

Search for narrow states in the inclusive gamma -ray spectra resulting from antiproton annihilations at rest in liquid hydrogen and deuterium.
The energy spectrum of {gamma} rays produced in proton-antiproton annihilation at rest in hydrogen and deuterium has been measured with good energy resolution and high statistics. The data were taken using the PS183 magnetic pair spectrometer at CERN's Low Energy Antiproton Ring. A detailed search of the {gamma} spectrum yielded no evidence of {gamma} transitions to narrow states with widths consistent with the spectrometer resolution. In hydrogen, upper limits (95% C.L.) are obtained for the yield of narrow states of (2--5){times}10{sup {minus}4} for states below 1700 MeV/{ital c}{sup 2}, and (5--10){times}10{sup {minus}4} for states between 1700 and 1800 MeV/{ital c}{sup 2}. In deuterium, the corresponding upper limits are (1--7){times}10{sup {minus}3} for masses between 700 and 1730 MeV/{ital c}{sup 2}, and (1--2){times}10{sup {minus}3} for masses between 1750 and 1835 MeV/{ital c}{sup 2}. These results contradict reports of the observation of narrow lines made by previous experiments.

QGP susceptibilities from PNJL model
An improved version of the PNJL model is used to calculate various thermodynamical quantities including Quark Number Susceptibility, Isospin susceptibility, specific heat, speed of sound and conformal measure. Comparison with Lattice data is found to be encouraging.

Susceptibilities and speed of sound from PNJL model
We present the Taylor expansion coefficients of the pressure in quark number chemical potential $\mu_0=\mu_B / 3=\mu_u=\mu_d$, for the strongly interacting matter as described by the PNJL model for two light degenerate flavours of quarks u and d. The expansion has been done upto eighth order in $\mu_0$, and the results are consistent with recent estimates from Lattice. We have further obtained the specific heat $C_V$, squared speed of sound $v_s^2$ and the conformal measure $\cC$.

Models for Strong Interaction Physics
Abstract We review the developments in various models describing strong interaction physics. The models provide an intuitive way of understanding the complex phenomenon associated with strong interactions. Models also help us to delve into regions of couplings and other thermodynamic conditions of interest that are still out of reach of the first principle method - quantum chromodynamics. At the same to ascertain the merits of the models they should be contrasted to the results obtained from quantum chromodynamics at least in its region of validity, and to the available experimental data. Here we shall discuss about our progress in that direction.

The consequences of SU (3) colorsingletness, Polyakov Loop and Z (3) symmetry on a quark–gluon gas
Based on quantum statistical mechanics we show that the SU(3) color singlet ensemble of a quark-gluon gas exhibits a Z(3) symmetry through the normaized character in fundamental representation and also becomes equivalent, within a stationary point approximation, to the ensemble given by Polyakov Loop. Also Polyakov Loop gauge potential is obtained by considering spatial gluons along with the invariant Haar measure at each space point. The probability of the normalized character in SU(3) vis-a-vis Polyakov Loop is found to be maximum at a particular value exhibiting a strong color correlation. This clearly indicates a transition from a color correlated to uncorrelated phase or vise-versa. When quarks are included to the gauge fields, a metastable state appears in the temperature range 145 T(MeV) 170 due to the explicit Z(3) symmetry breaking in the quark-gluon system. Beyond T 170 MeV the metastable state disappears and stable domains appear. At low temperature a dynamical recombination of ionized Z(3) color charges to a color singlet Z(3) confined phase is evident along with a confining background that originates due to circulation of two virtual spatial gluons but with conjugate Z(3) phases in a closed loop. We also discuss other possible consequences of the center domains in the color deconfined phase at high temperature.

Chiral dynamics and operator relations at non-zero chemical potential
We discuss Taylor expansions of operator expectation values in QCD with respect to chemical potentials of quarks. Maxwell's relations between coefficients and Ward identities between series are used to relate the operators which give the Taylor coefficients of the series for the chiral condensate, the pseudoscalar susceptibility and the mass dependence of quark number susceptibilities. Through such relations the physics of chiral dynamics are explored. The renormalized expectation values of the chiral condensate and its Taylor coefficients are extracted from simulation.
