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.

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.

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.

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).

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%. .

INJECTION STRAIGHT PULSED MAGNET ERROR TOLERANCE STUDY FOR TOP-OFF INJECTION
NSLS II is designed to work in top-off injection mode. The injection straight includes a septum and four fast kicker magnets. The pulsed magnet errors will excite a betatron oscillation. This paper gives the formulas of each error contribution to the oscillation amplitude at various source points in the ring. These are compared with simulation results. Based on the simple formulas, we can specify the error tolerances on the pulsed magnets with the goal to minimize the injection transient and scale it to similar machines. The NSLS-II is a 3 GeV third generation synchrotron light source under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Due to its short lifetime, NSLS-II storage ring requires the top-off injection (once per minute) during which the stored beam orbit is highly desired as transparent. But the errors, from the SR pulsed magnets at the injection straight - kickers (non-closed injection bump) and pulsed septum (time-dependent stray field), excite a stored beam betatron oscillation. The magnitude of the perturbation can be large disturning some of the user experiments. In 2010 injection straight review, based on the experts experiences in ALS, DIAMOND, SLS and SPEAR, we came to the conclusion that the acceptable oscillation amplitude at the long straight is set as 100 {micro}m (i.e. 0.7 {sigma}x) in horizontal plane and 12 {micro}m, 2.5 {sigma}y, in vertical plane for NSLS II. This paper gives the analysis estimate of the different error source tolerance from the pulse magnets and scales it to our requirements. The result is compared with simulation.

Arnold diffusion in a four-dimensional standard map
Abstract We have studied Arnold diffusion in a four-dimensional symplectic map which is a coupled version of two standard maps. Using the stochastic pump model, we have computed the diffusion rate as a function of the coupling constant, the nonlinearity parameter, and the number of iterations. Theoretical prediction agrees well with numerical result; however, for large parameter values, deviation begins to emerge.

Statistical and dynamical fluctuations in the ratios of higher cumulants in relativistic heavy ion collisions
With the help of transport and statistical models, we find that the ratios of higher net-proton cumulants measured at RHIC are dominated by the statistical fluctuations. Future measurements should focus on the dynamical fluctuations, which are relevant to the underlying mechanisms of particle production, the critical phenomena in particular. We also demonstrate that a proton-antiproton correlation directly show if protons and antiprotons are emitted independently.

Radiation Tolerance of Fully-Depleted P-Channel CCDs Designed for the SNAP Satellite
Thick, fully depleted p-channel charge-coupled devices (CCDs) have been developed at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). These CCDs have several advantages over conventional thin, n-channel CCDs, including enhanced quantum efficiency and reduced fringing at near-infrared wavelengths and improved radiation tolerance. Here we report results from the irradiation of CCDs with 12.5 and 55 MeV protons at the LBNL 88-Inch Cyclotron and with 0.1-1 MeV electrons at the LBNL 60Co source. These studies indicate that the LBNL CCDs perform well after irradiation, even in the parameters in which significant degradation is observed in other CCDs: charge transfer efficiency, dark current, and isolated hot pixels. Modeling the radiation exposure over a six-year mission lifetime with no annealing, we expect an increase in dark current of 20 e-/pixel/hr, and a degradation of charge transfer efficiency in the parallel direction of 3 times 10-6 and 1 times 10-6 in the serial direction. The dark current is observed to improve with an annealing cycle, while the parallel CTE is relatively unaffected and the serial CTE is somewhat degraded. As expected, the radiation tolerance of the p-channel LBNL CCDs is significantly improved over the conventional n-channel CCDs that are currently employed in space-based telescopes such as the Hubble Space Telescope.
