Demonstration of a widely-tunable and fully-coherent high-gain harmonic-generation free-electron laser
Free-electron lasers (FELs) are fourth-generation light sources that deliver extremely high intensity, ultrashort light pulses over a broad wavelength range from far-infrared to hard x ray. FELs based on the self-amplified spontaneous emission principle have been successfully operated with ultrahigh brightness and a broad wavelengths tuning range with good transverse coherence but poor temporal coherence. In contrast, the laser-seeded FELs have provided full coherence but at selected central wavelengths, usually the harmonics of the laser seeds, with relatively narrower tuning range. We report the experimental demonstration of a high-gain harmonic-generation (HGHG) FEL that is continuously tunable over a wide range using the combination of optical parametrical amplification, variable-gap undulator, and harmonic selection, where the temporal coherence is preserved as confirmed with the Michelson interferometry. In order to achieve higher photon energies, the first try of cascaded HGHG with a fresh-bunch technique is also made at the Shanghai Deep Ultraviolet Free-electron Laser test facility.

The Pure Leptonic Decays of $D_s$ Meson and Their Radiative Corrections
The radiative corrections to the pure leptonic decay $D_s{\longrightarrow} {\ell}{{\nu}}_{\ell}$ up-to one-loop order is presented. We find the virtual photon loop corrections to $D_s{\longrightarrow} {\tau}{{\nu}}_{\tau}$ is negative and the corresponding branching ratio is larger than $3.51\times 10^{-3}$. Considering the possible experimental resolutions, our prediction of the radiative decay $D_s{\longrightarrow} {\tau}{{\nu}}_{\tau}\gamma$ is not so large as others, and the best channel to determine the $V_{cs}$ or $f_{D_s}$ is $D_s{\longrightarrow} {\mu}{{\nu}}_{\mu}{\gamma}$. How to cancel the infrared divergences appearing in the loop calculations, and the radiative decay $D_s{\longrightarrow} {\ell}{{\nu}}_{\ell}{\gamma}$ is shown precisely. It is emphasized that the radiative decay may be separated properly and may compare with measurements directly as long as the theoretical `softness' of the photon corresponds to the experimental resolutions.

The Layer Phase in the Non-isotropic SU(3) Gauge Model at Finite Temperature
The phase structure of a non-isotropic non-Abelian SU(3) lattice gauge model at finite temperature is investigated to the third order in the variational-cumulant expansion (VCE) approach. The layer phase exists in this model in the cases of dimensions D=4, D=5 (d=D-1).

Why X(3915) is so narrow as a $\chi_{c0}(2P)$ state
New resonance X(3915) was identified as the charmonium $\chi_{c0}(2P)$ by BABAR Collaboration, but there seems still open question of this assignment: why its full width is so narrow? To answer this question, we calculate the Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka (OZI) allowed strong decays $X(3915)\to D \bar D$, where X(3915) is assigned as a $\chi_{c0}(2P)$ state, and estimate its full width in the cooperating framework of $^3/!P_0^{}$ model and the Bethe-Salpeter (BS) method using the Mandelstam Formalism, during which non-perturbative QCD effects of the hadronic matrix elements are well considered by overlapping integral over the relativistic Salpeter wave functions of the initial and finial states. We find the node structure of $\chi_{c0}(2P)$ wave function resulting in the narrow width of X(3915) and show the dependence of the decay width on the variation of the initial mass of X(3915). We point out that the rate of $\frac{\Gamma(X(3915)\to D^+ D^-)}{\Gamma(X(3915)\to D^0 \bar D^0)}$ is crucial to confirm whether X(3915) is the $\chi_{c0}(2P)$ state or not.

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%. .

Decay constants of P-wave mesons
Abstract Decay constants of P-wave mesons are computed in the framework of instantaneous Bethe–Salpeter method (Salpeter method). By analyzing the parity and possible charge conjugation parity, we give the relativistic configurations of wave functions with definite parity and possible charge conjugation parity. With these wave functions as input, the full Salpeter equations for different P-wave states are solved, and the mass spectra as well as the numerical values of wave functions are obtained. Finally we compute the leptonic decay constants of heavy–heavy and heavy–light P 0 3 , P 1 3 and P 1 1 states.

Three-dimensional model of small signal free-electron lasers
Coherent electron cooling is an ultra-high-bandwidth form of stochastic cooling which utilizes the charge perturbation from Debye screening as a seed for a free-electron laser. The amplified and frequency-modulated signal that results from the free-electron laser process is then used to give an energy-dependent kick on the hadrons in a bunch. In this paper, we present a theoretical description of a high-gain free-electron laser with applications to a complete theoretical description of coherent electron cooling.

Progress on Analytical Modeling of Coherent Electron Cooling
We report recent progresses on analytical studies of Coherent Electron Cooling. The phase space electron beam distribution obtained from the 1D FEL amplifier is applied to an infinite electron plasma model and the electron density evolution inside the kicker is derived. We also investigate the velocity modulation in the modulator and obtain a closed form solution for the current density evolution for infinite homogeneous electron plasma.

SHORT PULSE GENERATION BY LASER SLICING AT NSLSII
We discuss an upgrade R&D project for NSLSII to generate sub-pico-second short x-ray pulses using laser slicing. We discuss its basic parameters and present a specific example for a viable design and its performance. Since the installation of the laser slicing system into the storage ring will break the symmetry of the lattice, we demonstrate it is possible to recover the dynamical aperture to the original design goal of the ring. There is a rapid growth of ultrafast user community interested in science using sub-pico-second x-ray pulses. In BNL's Short Pulse Workshop, the discussion from users shows clearly the need for a sub-pico-second pulse source using laser slicing method. In the proposal submitted following this workshop, NSLS team proposed both hard x-ray and soft x-ray beamlines using laser slicing pulses. Hence there is clearly a need to consider the R&D efforts of laser slicing short pulse generation at NSLSII to meet these goals.
