Time-dependent harmonic oscillator in a magnetic field and an electric field on the non-commutative plane
In the non-commutative space, wave functions and geometric phases are derived for the time-dependent harmonic oscillator in external time-dependent magnetic and electric field. Explicit forms of the coherent states are also given, which are not the minimum uncertainty states for the coordinates and momenta.

Semileptonic Production of Scalar and Tensor p-Wave Charmed Mesons
With the same constituents of quark and antiquark, the p-wave state has a higher mass than the corresponding s-wave state, but the relativistic corrections are much larger in the processes of which p-wave mesons are involved. Considering this, the relativistic Bethe?Salpeter method is applied to estimate the branching fractions of semileptonic decays B(s) ? D*(sJ)l? (J = 0,2). Our predictions are Br[???(2317)l?]?=?0.50%, Br[???(2573)l?]?=?0.40%, Br[B????(2400)l?]?=?0.79%, Br[B????(2460)l?]?=?0.28%, Br[???(2400)l?]?=?0.58% and Br[???(2460)l?]?=?0.27%. .

Study of singlet-triplet mixing via semileptonic decays
The singlet-triplet mixing of 1P1–3P1 is studied via calculating the branching ratios of semileptonic decay Bs → Ds1lν and B → D1lν by means of the instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter method. Special attention is paid to the relativistic corrections, since they are large for the P-wave states. Using the Mandelstam Formalism, we compute the transition form factors not only in the high-energy lepton end-point region but also in the full Q2 region. In addition, the non-perturbative QCD effects are taken care of in the overlapping integral over the relativistic wave functions of the initial and final states.

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.

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.

Extending two-Higgs-doublet models by a singlet scalar field — The case for dark matter
A bstractWe extend the two-Higgs doublet models of Type I and Type II by adding a real gauge-singlet scalar S dark matter candidate (2HDMS models). We impose theoretical constraints deriving from perturbativity, stability, unitarity and correct electroweak symmetry breaking and require that the lightest CP-even Higgs, h, fit the LHC data for the ∼ 125.5 GeV state at the 68% C.L. after including existing constraints from LEP and B physics and LHC limits on the heavier Higgs bosons. We find that these models are easily consistent with the LUX and SuperCDMS limits on dark-matter-Nucleon scattering and the observed Ωh2 for S masses above about 55 GeV. At lower mS, the situation is more delicate. For points with mS in the 6-25 GeV range corresponding to the CDMS II and CRESST-II positive signal ranges, the dark-matter-Nucleon cross sections predicted by the Type I and Type II models more or less automatically fall within the 95%–99% C.L. signal region boundaries. Were it not for the LUX and SuperCDMS limits, which exclude all (almost all) such points in the case of Type I (Type II), this would be a success for the 2HDMS models. In fact, in the case of Type II there are a few points with 5.5 GeV ≲ mS ≲ 6.2 GeV that survive the LUX and SuperCDMS limits and fall within the CDMS II 99% C.L. signal region. Possibilities for dark matter to be isospin-violating in this 2HDMS context are also examined.

Low momentum scattering of the Dirac particlewith an asymmetric cusp potential
Abstract.We study the exact solutions of the bound and scattering states of the one-dimensional Dirac equation with an asymmetric cusp potential and derive the condition of the supercriticality for this quantum system. We find that the scattering properties are invariant under reflection of the potential's shape, and the supercritical value for the potential amplitude V0 varies with the degree of the potential asymmetry.

A MODEL STUDY OF QUARK NUMBER SUSCEPTIBILITY AT FINITE CHEMICAL POTENTIAL AND ZERO TEMPERATURE
In this paper, we try to provide a direct method for calculating quark number susceptibility at finite chemical potential and zero temperature. In our approach, quark number susceptibility is totally determined by G[mu](p) (the dressed quark propagator at finite chemical potential mu). By applying the general result given in Phys. Rev. C 71, 015205 (2005), G[mu](p) is calculated from the model quark propagator proposed in Phys. Rev. D 67, 054019 (2003). From this the full analytic expression of quark number susceptibility at finite mu and zero T is obtained.
