Pre-neutron-emission mass distributions for reaction $^{238}$U(n, f) up to 60 MeV
The pre-neutron-emission mass distributions for reaction U(n, f) up to 60 MeV are systematically studied with an empirical fission potential model. The energy dependence of the peaks and valleys of the pre-neutron-emission mass distributions is described by an exponential form based on the newly measured data. The energy dependence of evaporation neutrons before scission is also considered, which plays a crucial role for the reasonable description of the mass distributions. The measured data for the pre-neutron-emission mass distributions for reaction U(n, f) are reasonably well reproduced up to 60 MeV. The mass distributions at unmeasured energies are also predicted with this approach. PACS. 24.75.+i General properties of fission – 25.85.Ec Neutron-induced fission

Calculation of penetration probability across an arbitrary potential barrier in fusion reactions
The penetration probability across an arbitrary nucleus-nucleus potential barrier is studied by using transfer matrix approach, including continuous variations of effective mass. The calculated penetration probabilities for reaction 16 O + 208 Pb are closed to those of WKB and modified Numerov calculations based on the Bass potential. With the transfer matrix approach, the influence of the effective mass on the penetration probability are simultaneously investigated. The calculations imply that the effective mass is an important quantity for studying the hindrance of fusion cross sections of some reactions at deep sub-barrier energies. The fusion cross sections of heavy-ion fusion reactions and the resonance phenomena due to double-hump barriers are also studied with this approach.

Prediction for the mass spectra of resonance mesons in the soft-wall AdS/QCD model with a modified 5D metric
A soft-wall anti-de Sitter/QCD model with a modified five-dimensional metric at the infrared region is constructed to obtain a nontrivial dilaton solution, which incorporates the chiral symmetry breaking and linear confinement. By taking the pion mass and decay constant as two input mass scales, the resulting predictions for the resonance states of pseudoscalar, scalar, vector, and axial-vector mesons agree remarkably with the experimentally confirmed resonance states. The effects of the quartic interaction term are investigated by taking an appropriate sign and magnitude for maintaining the stability of the bulk scalar potential. It is shown that such a simply modified soft-wall anti-de Sitter/QCD model can lead to a consistent prediction for the mass spectra of resonance states in the pseudoscalar, scalar, vector, and axial-vector mesons; the agreement with the experimental data is found to be better than 10% for the excited meson states. The resulting pion form factor also agrees well with the experimental data.

Space- and time-like kaon electromagnetic form factors in perturbative QCD
We present a phenomenological analysis of the space- and time-like charged kaon electromagnetic form factors in factorized perturbative QCD (pQCD) by employing an analytic model for αs(Q2) and an infrared (IR) finite gluon propagator. In the space-like region, due to the lack of available experimental data above Q2 ~ 0.2 GeV2, we only give our results for intermediate energies and make no comparison. In the time-like region, our results agree reasonably well with the available experimental data at moderate energies, including the CLEO data and the J/ψ result.

Quark and Glue Momenta and Angular Momenta in the Proton --- a Lattice Calculation
We report a complete calculation of the quark and glue momenta and angular momenta in the proton. These include the quark contributions from both the connected and disconnected insertions. The calculation is carried out on a $16^3 \times 24$ quenched lattice at $\beta = 6.0$ and for Wilson fermions with $\kappa = 0.154, 0.155,$ and 0.1555 which correspond to pion masses at 650, 538, and 478 MeV. The quark loops are calculated with $Z_4$ noise and signal-to-noise is improved further with unbiased subtractions. The glue operator is comprised of gauge-field tensors constructed from the overlap operator. The $u$ and $d$ quark momentum/angular momentum fraction is 0.66(5)/0.72(5), the strange momentum/angular momentum fraction is 0.024(6)/0.023(7), and that of the glue is 0.31(6)/0.25(8). The orbital angular momenta of the quarks are obtained from subtracting the angular momentum component from its corresponding spin. As a result, the quark orbital angular momentum constitutes 0.50(2) of the proton spin, with almost all it coming from the disconnected insertion. The quark spin carries a fraction 0.25(12) and glue carries a fraction 0.25(8) of the total proton spin.

Baryonia and near-threshold enhancements
The baryon-antibaryon spectrum consisting of strange, charm and bottom quarks is studied in the color flux-tube model with a multi-body confinement interaction. Numerical results indicate that many low-spin baryon-antibaryon states can form compact hexaquark states and are stable against the decay into a baryon and an antibaryon. The multi-body confinement interaction as a binding mechanism plays an important role in the formation of the states. They can be searched in the $e^+e^-$ annihilation and charmonium or bottomonium decay if they really exist. The newly reported states, X(1835), X(2370), Y(2175), Y(4360) and Y_b(10890), may be interpreted as $N\bar{N}$, $\Delta\bar{\Delta}$, $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$, $\Lambda_c\bar{\Lambda}_c$ and $\Lambda_b\bar{\Lambda}_b$ states, respectively.

Exclusive radiative B-meson decays within minimal flavor-violating two-Higgs-doublet models
In the "Higgs basis" for a generic two-Higgs-doublet model, only one doublet gets a nonzero vacuum expectation value and, under the criterion of minimal flavor violation, the other one is fixed to be either color-singlet or color-octet, referred to, respectively, as the type-III and type-C models. Both of them can naturally avoid large FCNC transitions and provide very interesting phenomena in some low-energy processes. In this paper, we study their effects on exclusive radiative B-meson decays due to the exchange of colorless or colored charged Higgs. It is found that while constraints from the branching ratios are slightly weaker than the ones from the inclusive B -> X-s gamma decay, the isospin asymmetries in exclusive decays provide very complementary bounds on the model parameters. As the two models predict similar corrections to the dipole coefficient C-7(eff), but similar magnitudes with opposite signs to C-8(eff), the branching ratios cannot discriminate the two models, and we have to resort to the direct CP and isospin asymmetries of b -> s processes, which are more sensitive to C-8(eff). Due to the CKM factors vertical bar lambda((d))(u)vertical bar similar to vertical bar lambda((d))(t)vertical bar, the terms proportional to lambda((d))(u) make the observables of b -> d processes exhibit a different dependence on the possible new physics phase. In addition, correlations between the various observables in the exclusive B -> V gamma and the inclusive B -> X-s,X-d gamma decays are investigated, which could provide further insights into the models with more precise experimental measurements and theoretical predictions for these decays.
