Probe initial parton density and formation time via jet quenching
Medium modification of jet fragmentation function due to multiple scattering and induced gluon radiation leads directly to jet quenching or suppression of leading particle distribution from jet fragmentation. One can extract an effective total parton energy loss which can be related to the total transverse momentum broadening. For an expanding medium, both are shown to be sensitive to the initial parton density and formation time. Therefore, one can extract the initial parton density and formation time from simultaneous measurements of parton energy loss and transverse momentum broadening. Implication of the recent experimental data on effects of detailed balance in parton energy loss is also discussed.

Berry curvature and four-dimensional monopoles in the relativistic chiral kinetic equation.
We derive a relativistic chiral kinetic equation with manifest Lorentz covariance from Wigner functions of spin-1/2 massless fermions in a constant background electromagnetic field. It contains vorticity terms and a four-dimensional Euclidean Berry monopole which gives an axial anomaly. By integrating out the zeroth component of the 4-momentum p, we reproduce the previous three-dimensional results derived from the Hamiltonian approach, together with the newly derived vorticity terms. The phase space continuity equation has an anomalous source term proportional to the product of electric and magnetic fields (FσρF[over ˜]σρ∼EσBσ). This provides a unified interpretation of the chiral magnetic and vortical effects, chiral anomaly, Berry curvature, and the Berry monopole in the framework of Wigner functions.

Role of multiple minijets in high-energy hadronic reactions.
The multiplicity distributions of charged particles in high-energy hadron collisions including the production of multiple minijets are considered in the framework of the eikonal formalism. Large-multiplicity events at high energies are found to be dominated by the production of many jets with 2{le}{ital P}{sub {ital T}}{le}4 GeV. The contributions from larger-{ital P}{sub {ital T}} minijets become prevailing for high-multiplicity fluctuations in narrow rapidity intervals.

Relics of Minijets amid Anisotropic Flows in High-energy Heavy-ion Collisions
Two dimensional low-$p_T$ dihadron correlations in azimuthal angle $\phi$ and pseudo-rapidity $\eta$ in high-energy heavy-ion collisions are investigated within both the HIJING Monte Carlo model and an event-by-event (3+1)D ideal hydrodynamic model. Without final-state interaction and collective expansion, dihadron correlations from HIJING simulations have a typical structure from minijets that contains a near-side two-dimensional peak and an away-side ridge along the $\eta$-direction. In contrast, event-by-event (3+1)D ideal hydrodynamic simulations with fluctuating initial conditions from the HIJING+AMPT model produce a strong dihadron correlation that has an away-side as well as a near-side ridge. Relics of intrinsic dihadron correlation from minijets in the initial conditions still remain as superimposed on the two ridges. By varying initial conditions from HIJING+AMPT, we study effects of minijets, non-vanishing initial flow and longitudinal fluctuation on the final state dihadron correlations. With a large rapidity gap, one can exclude near-side correlations from minijet relics and dihadron correlations can be described by the superposition of harmonic flows up to the 6th order. When long-range correlations with a large rapidity gap are subtracted from short-range correlations with a small rapidity gap, the remaining near-side dihadron correlations result solely from relics of minijets. Low transverse momentum hadron yields per trigger ($p_T^{\rm trig} <4$ GeV/$c$, $p_T^{\rm asso}<2$ GeV/$c$) in central heavy-ion collisions are significantly enhanced over that in p+p collisions while widths in azimuthal angle remain the same, in qualitative agreement with experimental data.

Isovector channel of quarkmeson-coupling model and its effect on symmetry energy
Abstract The non-relativistic approximation of the quark–meson-coupling model has been discussed and compared with the Skyrme–Hartree–Fock model which includes spin exchanges. Calculations show that the spin-exchange interaction has important effect on the descriptions of finite nuclei and nuclear matter through the Fock exchange. Also in the quark–meson-coupling model, it is the Fock exchange that leads to a nonlinear density-dependent isovector channel and changes the density-dependent behavior of the symmetry energy.

STATUS OF POLARIZATION CONTROL EXPERIMENT AT SHANGHAI DEEP ULTRAVIOLET FREE ELECTRON LASER
A polarization control experiment by utilizing a pair of crossed undulators has been proposed for the Shanghai deep ultraviolet free electron laser test facility. Numerical simulations indicate that, with the electromagnetic phaseshifter located between the two crossed planar undulators, fully coherent radiation with 100 nJ order pulse energy, 5 picoseconds pulse length and circular polarization degree above 90% could be generated. The physical design study and the preparation status of the experiment are presented in the paper.

HNC Theory for Shadow Wave Functions
The hyper-netted-chain theory is applied to the study of strongly interacting Bose and Fermi systems described by the shadow-correlated wave functions. A new class of shadow wave functions is also proposed which, in spite of their greater generality, requires a much simpler HNC scheme to compute distribution functions, density matrices and the energy expectation value. Moreover, HNC-theory allows for a full optimization of the correlations functions, particularly in the case of this new class of extended shadow wavefunctions. Possible applications of the shadow wave functions to the study of the Fractional Quantum Hall effect are also discussed.

Nuclear Shell Structure Evolution Theory
The Self-similar-structure shell model (SSM) comes from the evolution of the conventional shell model (SM) and keeps the energy level of SM single particle harmonic oscillation motion. In SM, single particle motion is the positive harmonic oscillation and in SSM, the single particle motion is the negative harmonic oscillation. In this paper a nuclear evolution equation (NEE) is proposed. NEE describes the nuclear evolution process from gas state to liquid state and reveals the relations among SM, SSM and liquid drop model (DM). Based upon SSM and NEE theory, we propose the solution to long-standing problem of nuclear shell model single particle spin-orbit interaction energy . We demonstrate that the single particle motion in normal nuclear ground state is the negative harmonic oscillation of SSM[1][2][3][4] 
Key words: negative harmonic oscillation, nuclear evolution equation, self-similar shell model

Probability distributions in nuclear fragmentation
Recent studies of heavy ion fragmentation led to the conjecture that the hot and dense compound nuclei formed in the reaction do not decay into just any possible mass partition, but that some decay channels tend to be selected during breakup. We verify this conjecture by means of an extensive analysis of several distributions of decay probabilities. This simplifies the study of nuclear fragmentation tremendously.
