Search for a doubly charmed hadron at B factories
The doubly charmed hadron production at B factories is of special importance for the study of the hadron structure and the color connections before hadronization. To suppress the combination background fluctuations of the reconstructed hadron mass spectra, we suggest a three-jet event shape trigger. After these three jets are identified by their energy and angular distributions, it is found that: 1) The background process $e^+ e^- \to c\bar {c} \to h's$ in consideration of the final hadron system $\Lambda_c^+K^-\pi^+ +X$ are significantly suppressed. 2) For the selected events, about half of the particles, $\Lambda_c^+$, $K^-$, $\pi^+$, which obviously can not belong to the decay products of doubly charmed hadron, can be vetoed. The relevant hadronization is investigated.

Identify Charged Higgs Boson in $W^\pm H^\mp$ Associated Production at LHC
We investigate the possibility to discover the charged Higgs via $pp\to W^{\pm}H^{\mp}\to l+\met+b\bar{b}jj$ process at LHC, which suffers from large QCD backgrounds. We optimize the kinematic cuts to suppress the backgrounds, so that the reconstruction of the charged Higgs through hadronic decay is possible. The angular distribution of the b-jet from $H^{\pm}$ decay is investigated as a way to identify the charged scalar from vector bosons.

Colour connections of four quark $Q\bar{Q}Q'\bar{Q}'$ system and doubly heavy baryon production in $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation
The hadronization effects induced by various colour connections of the four quark system in $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation are briefly reviewed. A special colour connection of four heavy quark system without colour-separation favours the production of doubly heavy baryons. For the related three-jet case, the corresponding hadronization has not been considered. We argue that it can be effectively described as two string fragmentation besides the leading heavy diquark fragmentation. The production rate and the properties of final state hadron systems are discussed. Emphasis is on the string effect as a finger print of this hadronization procedure.

Comments on CLEO new measurements for $\upsilon_{1S}$ decays to charmonium final states and investigations on associate strange particle enhancement in $\upsilon$ to J/Psi + $X$
The recent measurements by CLEO Collaboration for the inclusive J/Psi and Psi(2S) production in Upsilon(1S) decay and our previous calculation are analyzed. The J/Psi momentum spectrum and the production ratio of Psi(2S) versus J/Psi favour Upsilon to J/Psi(Psi(2S)) + ccbar g as the dominant contribution. We point out that the differences between the experimental data and our previous results are mainly originated from the setting of the parameter charm quark mass. We further suggest the associate strange particle enhancement as a probe for the open charm particles in Upsilon to J/Psi (Psi(2S)) + ccbar g.

Multirefringence phenomena in nonlinear electrodynamics
Universite´ de Nice Sophia Antipolis, 06103 Nice Cedex 2, Franceand Dipartimento di Fisica and ICRA, Sapienza Universita` di Roma, I-00185 Rome, Italy(Received 19 April 2013; published 13 September 2013)Wave propagation in nonlinear theories of the electromagnetism described by Lagrangian densitiesdependent upon its two local invariants LðF;GÞ is revisited. On the light of the recent ﬁndings inmetamaterials, it is here shown that trirefringence is also a possible phenomenon to occur in the realm ofsuch nonlinear theories. A speciﬁc model exhibiting this effect is investigated in terms of both phase andgroup velocities. It is claimed that wave propagation in some well known nonlinear models for spin-oneﬁelds, like QED and QCD in certain regimes, may exhibit trirefringence.

Threshold resummation for the production of a color sextet (antitriplet) scalar at the LHC
We investigate threshold resummation effects in the production of a color sextet (antitriplet) scalar at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (NNLL) order at the LHC in the frame of soft-collinear effective theory. We show the total cross section and the rapidity distribution with NLO+NNLL accuracy, and we compare them with the NLO results. Besides, we use recent dijet data at the LHC to give the constraints on the couplings between the colored scalars and quarks.

The Bifurcation of the Topological Structure in the Sunspot's Electric Topological Current with Locally Gauge-invariant Maxwell-Chern-Simons Term
The topological structure of the electric topological current of the locally gauge invariant Maxwell-Chern-Simons Model and its bifurcation is studied. The electric topological charge is quantized in term of winding number. The Hopf indices and Brouwer degree labeled the local topological structure of the electric topological current. Using Φ-mapping method and implicit function theory, the electric topological current is found generating or annihilating at the limit points and splitting or merging at the bifurcate points. The total electric charge holds invariant during the evolution.

Renormalization group improved predictions for $t\bar{t}W^\pm$ production at hadron colliders
We study the factorization and resummation of the $t\bar{t}W^\pm$ production at hadron colliders. The cross section in the threshold limit can be factorized into a convolution of hard and soft functions and parton distribution functions with the soft-collinear effective theory. We calculate the next-to-leading order soft function for the associated production of the heavy quark pair and colorless particle, and we perform the resummation calculation with the next-to-next-to-leading logarithms accuracy. Our results show that the resummation effects reduce the dependence of the cross section on the scales significantly and increase the total cross section by $7-13\%$ compared with NLO QCD results.

First calculation of cosmic-ray muon spallation backgrounds for MeV astrophysical neutrino signals in Super-Kamiokande
signals is much larger than the signal rates for kinetic energies of about 6 { 18 MeV. Surprisingly, there is no published calculation of the production and properties of these backgrounds in water, though there are such studies for scintillator. Using the simulation code FLUKA and theoretical insights, we detail how muons lose energy in water, produce secondary particles, how and where these secondaries produce isotopes, and the properties of the backgrounds from their decays. We reproduce Super-Kamiokande measurements of the total background to within a factor of 2, which is good given that the isotope yields vary by orders of magnitude and that some details of the experiment are unknown to us at this level. Our results break aggregate data into component isotopes, reveal their separate production mechanisms, and preserve correlations between them. We outline how to implement more eective background rejection techniques using this information. Reducing backgrounds in solar and DSNB studies by even a factor of a few could help lead to important new discoveries.

The topological structure of Nieh-Yan form and the chiral anomaly in spaces with torsion
The topological structure of the Nieh-Yan form in a four-dimensional manifold is given by making use of the decomposition of spin connection. The case of the generalized Nieh-Yan form on a 2d-dimensional manifold is discussed with an example of an eight-dimensional case which is studied in detail. The chiral anomaly with nonvanishing torsion is also studied. The further contributions from the torsional part to the chiral anomaly are found to estimate from the zeros of some fields under the pure gauge condition.
