COSMIC RAY MUON MEASUREMENT BY L3 SPECTROMETER AT CERN
L3 + C is a branch experiment on L3 magnet spectrometer, which is located on the ring of LEP accelerator at CERN. To take the advantage of L3 muon chambers in its low threshold, wide dynamic range and high resolution, the momentum of cosmic ray muons in the range of 15–2000 GeV/c at a shallow depth of 30 m of molasse can be measured precisely. Since 1998, a scintillator detector system, a new fast trigger and DAQ system, and a small air shower array had been established for study the CR muon events independently. Up to August 2000, 8 billion muons and 25 million air shower events had been recorded. The first results for CR muon spectrum and the charge ratio etc. had been obtained.

Search for a Muon Flux Enhancement During the Solar Flare of 14 July 2000 with the L3+C Data
The solar slare of the 14 July 2000 offers a unique opportunity for the L3+C experiment at CERN to search for a correlated enhancement in the flux of muons using the precision spectrometer. The search for a directional excess in the flux of muons between 15 and 25 GeV, corresponding to primary proton energies above 40 GeV, is presented. We report an excess with a chance probability of 2.7 · 10−3 at a time coincident with the peak increase of solar protons observed with neutron monitors and satellites. At higher energies no significant signal has been observed up to 1.5 hours after the Solar flare time.

Possibility to Detect Upgoing Sleptons
Some supersymmetric models predict long lived charged sleptons. If they are exist, the τ ˜ , the supersymmetry partner of τ lepton, could be produced inside the earth by collisions of high energy neutrinos with nucleons. The possible signals of upgoing τ ˜ have been studied in various ways. Taking the atmospheric neutrino flux into account, the muon flux as main background is also estimated. By using the Waxman-Bahcall limit on the extraterrestrial neutrino flux, the resultant spectra show that there are about 70 events per year passing a km-scale underground experiment, such as ICECUBE.

Properties of X(3872) as a hadronic molecule with a negative parity
We discuss the possible interpretation of X(3872) as a DD ∗ hadronic molecule with J PC = 2 −+ . Using the phenomenological Lagrangian approach, we studied its radiative and strong decay properties. We find that our model with about 97.6% isospin zero component explains the existing data nicely. We predict the partial widths of the radiative and strong decays of X(3872) and show that the measurement of the ratio B(X(3872) → �c0�0)/B(X(3872) → �c1�0) may signal the nature of X(3872).

$D$ and $D^{\ast}$ meson mixing in spin-isospin correlated cold nuclear matter
We propose to study the mass spectrum of the heavy-light mesons to probe the structure of the spin-isospin correlation in the nuclear medium. We point out that the spin-isospin correlation in the nuclear medium generates a mixing among the heavy-light mesons carrying different spins and isospins such as $D^+$, $D^0$, $D^{\ast +}$, and $D^{\ast 0}$ mesons. We use two types of correlations motivated by the skyrmion crystal and the chiral density wave as typical examples to obtain the mass splitting caused by the mixing. Our result shows that the structure of the mixing reflects the pattern of the correlation, i.e., the remaining symmetry. Furthermore, the magnitude of the mass modification provides information of the strength of the correlation.

Open and hidden charm hadronic molecules
Properties of some open and hidden charm exotic states which have been studied using the composite model are summarized. It is found that, their decay properties are consistent with the data and further data are necessary to discriminate the hadronic molecular interpretation from other interpretations.

Hidden Local Symmetry and Infinite Tower of Vector Mesons for Baryons
In an effort to access dense baryonic matter relevant for compact stars in a unified framework that handles both single baryon and multibaryon systems on the same footing, we first address a holographic dual action for a single baryon focusing on the role of the infinite tower of vector mesons deconstructed from five dimensions. To leading order in 't Hooft coupling $\lambda=N_c g_{\rm YM}^2$, one has the Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) Skyrmion that results when the warping of the bulk background and the Chern-Simons term in the Sakai-Sugimoto D4/D8-${\bar{\rm D8}}$ model are ignored. The infinite tower was found by Sutcliffe to induce flow to a conformal theory, i.e., the BPS. We compare this structure to that of the SS model consisting of a 5D Yang-Mills action in warped space and the Chern-Simons term in which higher vector mesons are integrated out while preserving hidden local symmetry and valid to $O(\lambda^0)$ and $O(p^4)$ in the chiral counting. We point out the surprisingly important role of the $\omega$ meson that figures in the Chern-Simons term that encodes chiral anomaly in the baryon structure and that may be closely tied to short-range repulsion in nuclear interactions.

Anomalous action in gauge invariant, nonlocal, dynamical quark model
Anomalous sector of chiral Lagrangian is calculated in a gauge invariant, nonlocal, dynamical quark model. The Wess-Zumino term is proved coming from two kinds of sources, one is independent of and another dependent on dynamical quark self energy Sigma(k(2)). p(6) and more higher order anomalous sectors come only from Sigma(k(2)) dependent source. After some cancellation, standard Wess-Zumino action is obtained. (C) 2003 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
