The Flavor-changing bottom and anti-strange quark production in the littlest Higgs model with T parity at the ILC
In the littlest Higgs model with T-parity (LHT) the mirror quarks induce the special flavor structures and some new flavor-changing (FC) couplings which could greatly enhance the production rates of the FC processes. We in this paper study some bottom and anti-strange production processes in the LHT model at the International Linear Collider (ILC), i.e., $e^+e^-\to b\bar{s}$ and $\gamma\gamma\to b\bar{s}$. The results show that the production rates of these processes are sizeable for the favorable values of the parameters. Therefore, it is quite possible to test the LHT model or make some constrains on the relevant parameters of the LHT through the detection of these processes at the ILC.

Detecting Toppion via a Flavor-Changing Single Top QuarkProduction Process*
In the framework of topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) theory, we study a flavor changing single top quarkproduction process pp(pp) →Ⅱ0t → tc(tc) at upgraded Tevatron and LHC. The results show that with the flavor changingcoupling of neutral toppion to top and charm quark, toppion provides a large te-channel resonance effect. The signal ofsingle top production could be detected at LHC. Otherwise, the narrow peak in the invariant mass distribution could beclearly detected both at upgraded Tevatron and LHC. Therefore, such single top production process provides a uniqueway to test TC2 model via the detection of tc-channel neutral toppion contribution.

Rare decays of the top quark in the one generation technicolor model.
The decays [ital t][r arrow][ital cV] ([ital V]=[gamma],[ital g],[ital Z]) and [ital t][r arrow][ital cP][sup 0] induced through loop processes are calculated in the Farhi-Susskind one family technicolor (TC) model. We find that these new contributions can enhance the SM branching fractions by as much as 3--4 orders of magnitude, i.e., [ital B]([ital t][r arrow][ital cg])[similar to]10[sup [minus]6], [ital B]([ital t][r arrow][ital cZ])[similar to]10[sup [minus]7], [ital B]([ital t][r arrow][ital c][gamma])[similar to]10[sup [minus]8], and [ital B]([ital t][r arrow][ital cP][sup 0])[similar to]10[sup [minus]9], for the favorable values of the parameters. It might provide a unique window to detect the virtual effects of pseudo Goldstone bosons in TC theory.

Derivation of effective chiral Lagrangian for the whole nonet pseudo-scalar Goldstone bosons from QCD
The effective chiral Lagrangian derived from underlying QCD for pseudo-scalar Goldstone bosons has been generalized to involve the whole nonet pseudo-Goldstone bosons, no approximation is made in the derivation. The formulation offers general QCD definitions for the coefficients in effective chiral Lagrangian.

Production of Neutral Top-Pion Associated with a Gauge Boson at LHC
In this paper, we study the production of the neutral top-pion (Π0t) associated with a gauge boson at the LHC, i.e. pp→Πt0V (V = g,W,Z,γ). The cross section of pp→Πt0g is at the level of 102 pb in the most parameter space. Such a process with the flavor-changing decay mode Πt0→t might provide viable signatures to detect Π0t at the LHC. The cross sections of other processes pp→Πt0W(Z,γ) are too small to detect Π0t, which open a window to distinguish the Higgs boson in the SM or MSSM from Π0t.

Hadron production in p+p, p+Pb, and Pb+Pb collisions with the HIJING 2.0 model at energies available at the CERN Large Hadron Collider
The Heavy-Ion Jet Interaction Generator (hijing) Monte Carlo model is updated with the latest parton distributions functions and a new set of the parameters in the two-component minijet model that controls the total p+p cross section and the central pseudorapity density. We study hadron spectra and multiplicity distributions using the hijing2.0 model and compare to recent experimental data from p+p collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies. We also give predictions of hadron production in p+p, p+Pb, and Pb+Pb collisions at the full LHC energy.

Dihadron Tomography of High-Energy Nuclear Collisions in NLO pQCD
Back-to-back dihadron spectra in high-energy heavy-ion collisions are studied within the next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative QCD parton model with jet quenching incorporated via modified jet fragmentation functions due to radiative parton energy loss in dense medium. The experimentally observed appearance of back-to-back dihadrons at high $p_T$ is found to originate mainly from jet pairs produced close and tangential to the surface of the dense matter. However, a substantial fraction of observed high $p_T$ dihadrons also comes from jets produced at the center of the medium after losing finite amount of energy. Consequently, the suppression factor of such high-$p_T$ hadron pairs is found to be more sensitive to the initial gluon density than the single hadron spectra that are dominated by surface emission. A simultaneous $\chi^2$-fit to both the single and dihadron spectra can be achieved within a narrow range of the energy loss parameters $\epsilon_0=1.6-2.1$ GeV/fm. Because of the flattening of the initial jet production spectra, high $p_T$ dihadrons at the LHC energy are found to be more robust as probes of the dense medium.

Energy dependence of jet quenching and lifetime of dense matter in high-energy heavy-ion collisions
Suppression of high p{sub T} hadron spectra in high-energy heavy-ion collisions at different energies is studied within a perturbative QCD parton model incorporating medium-induced parton energy loss. The p{sub T} dependence of the nuclear modification factor R{sub AA}(p{sub T}) is found to depend on both the energy dependence of the parton energy loss and the power-law behavior of the initial jet spectra. The high p{sub T} hadron suppression at {radical}(s)=62.4 GeV and its centrality dependence are studied in detail. The overall values of the modification factor are found to provide strong constraints on the lifetime of the dense matter.

A pQCD-based approach to parton production and equilibration in high-energy nuclear collisions
Abstract A pQCD-based model for parton production and equilibration in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions is reviewed. The model combines pQCD processes including initial and final state radiations together with string phenomenology for nonperturbative soft processes. Nuclear effects on the initial parton production, such as multiple parton scattering and nuclear shadowing of parton distribution functions are considered. Comparisons with existing data are made and further tests of the model to constrain model parameters are proposed. With the obtained space-time history of the parton production, evolution of the minijet gas toward a fully equilibrated parton plasma is studied. Direct probes of the early parton dynamics, such as pre-equilibrium photon and dilepton production, open charm production, J ψ suppression and jet quenching are also reviewed.

Tomography of high-energy nuclear collisions with photon-hadron correlations.
Within the next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative QCD (PQCD) parton model, suppression of away-side hadron spectra associated with a high pT photon due to parton energy loss is studied in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Because of the sharp falloff of the gamma-jet spectrum in momentum imbalance pTjet-pTgamma>0 in NLO PQCD, hadron spectra at large zT=pTh/pTgamma greater than approximately 1 are more susceptible to parton energy loss and therefore are dominated by surface emission of gamma-associated jets with almost no energy loss, whereas small zT hadrons mainly come from the volume emission of jets with reduced energy. These lead to different centrality dependence of the gamma-hadron suppression for different values of zT. Therefore, a complete measurement of the suppression of gamma-triggered hadron spectra allows a true tomographic study of the quark-gluon plasma in high-energy heavy-ion collisions.
