Search for the electron electric dipole moment
Extensions to the Standard Model (SM) typically include new heavy particles and new mechanisms for CP violation. These underlying phenomena can give rise to electric dipole moments of the electron and other particles. Tabletop‐scale experiments used to search for these effects are described. Present experiments are already sensitive to new physics at the TeV scale, and new methods could extend this range dramatically. Such experiments could be among the first to show evidence for physics beyond the SM.

RF undulator for compact X-ray SASE source of variable wavelength
A room-temperature RF undulator, fed by Ka-band radiation and intended to produce ∼1 nm wavelength radiation using moderate energy electrons, is considered. The necessary electron bunches with energy 0.2-1 GeV could be produced by petawatt laser pulses injected into plasma bubbles.

Proof of principle for a high sensitivity search for the electric dipole moment of the electron using the metastable a(1)[^3\Sigma^+] state of PbO
The metastable a(1)[^3\Sigma^+] state of PbO has been suggested as a suitable system in which to search for the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the electron. We report here the development of experimental techniques allowing high-sensitivity measurements of Zeeman and Stark effects in this system, similar to those required for an EDM search. We observe Zeeman quantum beats in fluorescence from a vapor cell, with shot-noise limited extraction of the quantum beat frequencies, high counting rates, and long coherence times. We argue that improvement in sensitvity to the electron EDM by at least two orders of magnitude appears possible using these techniques.

The Properties of $D^{*}_{s1}(2700)^{+}$
The new particle $D^{*}_{s1}(2700)^{+}$ has stimulated many attentions. There are different assignments of its inherent properties. It may be a $2^3S_1$, $1^3D_1$ or the mixture of $2^3S_1-1^3D_1$ $c\bar s$ $1^-$ state. By considering its mass, decay modes, full width, production rate, and comparing with current experimental data, we point out that there is another more reasonable assignment: $D^{*}_{s1}(2700)^{+}$ could be identified as two resonances, one of which is a $2^3S_1$ state, another is a 1D state, and both are $c\bar s$ $1^-$ states. The two states have very close masses, which are around 2700 MeV, and both have broad decay widths. So in experiments, the overlapping of $DK$ or $D^*K$ invariant mass distribution coming from their decays is found, but the current experiments could not distinguish these two resonances and reported one particle.

The Crepant Transformation Conjecture for Toric Complete Intersections
Abstract Let X and Y be K -equivalent toric Deligne–Mumford stacks related by a single toric wall-crossing. We prove the Crepant Transformation Conjecture in this case, fully-equivariantly and in genus zero. That is, we show that the equivariant quantum connections for X and Y become gauge-equivalent after analytic continuation in quantum parameters. Furthermore we identify the gauge transformation involved, which can be thought of as a linear symplectomorphism between the Givental spaces for X and Y , with a Fourier–Mukai transformation between the K -groups of X and Y , via an equivariant version of the Gamma-integral structure on quantum cohomology. We prove similar results for toric complete intersections. We impose only very weak geometric hypotheses on X and Y : they can be non-compact, for example, and need not be weak Fano or have Gorenstein coarse moduli space. Our main tools are the Mirror Theorems for toric Deligne–Mumford stacks and toric complete intersections, and the Mellin–Barnes method for analytic continuation of hypergeometric functions.

Calculation of the staggered spin correlation in the framework of the Dyson-Schwinger approach
Based on the linear response of the fermion propagator with respect to an external field, we first derive a model-independent expression for the staggered spin susceptibility in which the influence of the full pseudoscalar vertex function is included. This expression for the staggered spin susceptibility is quite different from that given in the previous literature. The numerical values of the staggered spin susceptibility are calculated within the framework of the Dyson-Schwinger approach. Our numerical result shows that the nonperturbative dressing effects on the fermion propagator are very important when one studies the staggered spin susceptibility corresponding to the antiferromagnetic correlation in both the Nambu phase and Wigner phase.

Could two NMSSM Higgs bosons be present near 125 GeV
We examine next-to-minimal supersymmetric model scenarios with partial parameter unification at the grand unification scale in which both ${h}_{1}$ and ${h}_{2}$ lie in the 123\char21{}128 GeV mass range. Very substantially enhanced $\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ and other rates are possible. Broadened mass peaks are natural.
