Nonsingular potential model for heavy quarkonia.
A nonsingular potential model for heavy quarkonia is described which does not require recourse to an illegitimate perturbative treatment for the investigation of quarkonium spectra. Our overall results for the energy levels, the leptonic widths, and the E1 transition widths are in very good agreement with the experimental data for bb-bar and they are reasonably good for cc-bar. We also find that the confining part of the quarkonium potential is scalar-vector exchange rather than the currently favored scalar exchange.

Relativistic Hadron Model with Intrinsic Mass Splittings
A simple mechanism for the $\mathrm{SU}(3)$-symmetry breaking in strong interactions is introduced by using the formalism of the multispinor field equations, which avoids the use of physical quarks but has resemblance to the quark model. The resulting treatment leads to the Gell-Mann-Okubo mass formula for baryons, but not for mesons. It yields approximate values of -19.5\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} and 33\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} for the $\ensuremath{\eta}\ensuremath{-}{\ensuremath{\eta}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ and $\ensuremath{\varphi}\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\omega}$ mixing angles, respectively, and also provides a reasonable explanation for the intermultiplet meson mass formula $m_{K}^{}{}_{}{}^{2}\ensuremath{-}m_{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{}{}_{}{}^{2}=m_{{K}^{*}}^{}{}_{}{}^{2}\ensuremath{-}m_{\ensuremath{\rho}}^{}{}_{}{}^{2}$.

MULTIPLE PHOTON PRODUCTION IN QUANTUM ELECTRODYNAMICS
Multiple production of photons in high-energy processes in quantum electrodynamics is investigated, and the electron-positron annihilation is specially discussed in detail. It is found that at very high energies in cosmic rays, multiple production of up to four or five observable photons can easily take place. But, the probability, according to quantum electrodynamics, for the multiple production of a larger number of observable photons is quite small.

Higgs model with ghost-field formalism
The Higgs model for the interaction of vector and scalar fields is treated by means of the ghost-field formalism, which preserves the unitarity of the scattering operator as well as simplifies the renormalization procedure. Our ghost-field formalism has some similarity to the ${R}_{\ensuremath{\xi}}$ formalism with $\ensuremath{\xi}=1$, but it does not require the introduction of the so-called gauge-compensating terms. Applications to the second-order self-energy of a scalar particle and to the fourth-order scattering of vector particles are discussed.

Quantum-chromodynamic potential model for light and heavy quarkonia
Our earlier treatment for the investigation of the cc-bar, bb-bar, and tt-bar spectra is extended to other p quarkonia with u, d, s, c, and b quarks. We find that it is possible to account fully for the observed ground-state hyperfine splittings of light as well as heavy quarkonia provided that the perturbative quantum-chromodynamic potential is supplemented not only by the nonperturbative confining potential but also by a nonperturbative annihilation potential which rapidly decreases with increase in the quark mass. We also give our predictions for the experimentally interesting bu-bar, bs-bar, and bc-bar systems with unknown mass splittings.

On free 4D Abelian 2-form and anomalous 2D Abelian 1-form gauge theories
We demonstrate a few striking similarities and some glaring differences between (i) the free four- (3+1)-dimensional (4D) Abelian 2-form gauge theory, and (ii) the anomalous two- (1+1)-dimensional (2D) Abelian 1-form gauge theory, within the framework of Becchi–Rouet–Stora–Tyutin (BRST) formalism. We demonstrate that the Lagrangian densities of the above two theories transform in a similar fashion under a set of symmetry transformations even though they are endowed with a drastically different variety of constraint structures. With the help of our understanding of the 4D Abelian 2-form gauge theory, we prove that the gauge-invariant version of the anomalous 2D Abelian 1-form gauge theory is a new field-theoretic model for the Hodge theory where all the de Rham cohomological operators of differential geometry find their physical realizations in the language of proper symmetry transformations. The corresponding conserved charges obey an algebra that is reminiscent of the algebra of the cohomological operators. We briefly comment on the consistency of the 2D anomalous 1-form gauge theory in the language of restrictions on the harmonic state of the (anti-) BRST and (anti-) co-BRST invariant version of the above 2D theory.

A new macroscopic-microscopic description of the double-humped fission barriers
The new mass relation based on the generalised Hugenholtz-Van Hove theorem has been used to obtain a relation for the fission barriers of three nuclei. This relation has been found satisfactory to describe the data. Further a general expression has been given describing satisfactorily the inner barrier height, the second minimum and the second barrier height for all actinides with an rms deviation of 0.32, 0.32 and 0.33 MeV respectively. The estimated shell energies agree reasonably well with those of Brack et al. In addition the barriers for thorium isotopes have been described well.

PSEUDO-HERMITIAN INTERACTIONS IN DIRAC THEORY: EXAMPLES
We consider a couple of examples to study the pseudo-Hermitian interaction in relativistic quantum mechanics. Rasbha interaction, commonly used to study the spin Hall effect, is considered with imaginary coupling. The corresponding Dirac Hamiltonian is shown to be parity pseudo-Hermitian. In the other example we consider parity pseudo-Hermitian scalar interaction with arbitrary parameter in Dirac theory. In both cases we show that the energy spectrum is real and all the other features of nonrelativistic pseudo-Hermitian formulation are present. Using the spectral method, the positive definite metric operator (η) has been calculated explicitly for both the models to ensure positive definite norms for the state vectors.

Model for proton, pion, and deuteron production in ion-ion collisions
We use the thermodynamic prescription for the production of deuterons and pions for collision of Na on NaF and Ar on KCl. The data suggest that some collective anisotropic flow remains after the collision. A quantitative model based on this idea is developed; further support of the model comes from comparison with cascade calculations.
