Pair production of charged top-pions in the $\gamma\gamma$ collisions at the ILC
The top-color assisted technicolor (TC2) mode predicts the existence of a pair of charged top-pions $\pi^{\pm}_t$. In this paper, we study the production of the charged top-pions pair $\pi^{\pm}_t$ at next generation $\gamma\gamma$ colliders. The results show that the production rates can reach the level of $10^2$ fb with reasonable parameter space. With a large number of events and the clean background, the charged top-pion should be observable at the $\gamma\gamma$ colliders. Therefore, our studies can help us to search for charged top-pion, and furthermore, to test the TC2 model.

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.

The associated productions of the new gauge boson $B_{H}$ in the littlest Higgs model with a SM gauge boson via $e^+e^-$ collision
With the high energy and luminosity, the planned ILC has the considerable capability to probe the new heavy particles predicted by the new physics models. In this paper, we study the potential to discover the lightest new gauge boson $B_{H}$ of the littlest Higgs model via the processes $e^+e^- \to \gamma (Z)B_H$ at the ILC. The results show that the production rates of these two processes are large enough to detect $B_H$ in a wide range of the parameter space, specially for the process $e^+e^- \to \gamma B_H$. Furthermore, there exist some decay modes for $B_H$ which can provide the typical signal and clean background. Therefore, the new gauge boson $B_H$ should be observable via these production processes with the running of the ILC if it exists indeed.

Phase transition of finite size quark droplets with isospin chemical potential in the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model
Making use of the Nambu\char21{}Jona-Lasinio model and the multiple reflection expansion approximation, we study the phase transition of the finite size droplet with $u$ and $d$ quarks. We find that the dynamical masses of $u$, $d$ quarks are different, and the chiral symmetry can be restored at different critical radii for $u$, $d$ quarks. It provides a clue to understanding the effective nucleon mass splitting in nuclear matter. Meanwhile, it shows that the maximal isospin chemical potential at zero temperature is much smaller than the mass of pion in free space.

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.

Heavy quark production in pp collisions
A systematic study of the inclusive single heavy quark and heavy-quark pair production cross sections in pp collisions is presented for RHIC and LHC energies. We compare with existing data when possible. The dependence of the rates on the renormalization and factorization scales is discussed. Predictions of the cross sections are given for two different sets of parton distribution functions.

WISE DETECTION OF THE GALACTIC LOW-MASS X-RAY BINARIES
We report on the results from our search for the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) detection of the Galactic low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). Among 187 binaries cataloged in Liu et al., we find 13 counterparts and 2 candidate counterparts. For the 13 counterparts, 2 (4U 0614+091 and GX 339–4) have already been confirmed by previous studies to have a jet and 1 (GRS 1915+105) to have a candidate circumbinary disk, from which the detected infrared emission arose. Having collected the broadband optical and near-infrared data in the literature and constructed flux density spectra for the other 10 binaries, we identify that 3 (A0620–00, XTE J1118+480, and GX 1+4) are candidate circumbinary disk systems, 4 (Cen X-4, 4U 1700+24, 3A 1954+319, and Cyg X-2) had thermal emission from their companion stars, and 3 (Sco X-1, Her X-1, and Swift J1753.5–0127) are peculiar systems with the origin of their infrared emission rather uncertain. We discuss the results and WISE counterparts' brightness distribution among the known LMXBs, and suggest that more than half of the LMXBs would have a jet, a circumbinary disk, or both.

Charmonium production from hot hadronic matter
Abstract Charmonium production from D D annihilation in the hadron gas formed in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions is studied. With initial conditions taken from the HIJING parton model, we have estimated the number of J / ψ produced from an expanding hadron gas, using the J / ψ absorption and production cross sections obtained from either an effective Lagrangian or the quark-exchange model. We find that J / ψ production is negligible in heavy-ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) but may be important at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where more charm mesons are produced. Similar results are obtained for ψ ′ production from the hadron gas at RHIC and LHC.

Characterizing Temporal Structure of the Relativistic Electron Bunch
Using proper beam energy chirp and the undulator detuning effect, we propose a modified optical replica synthesizer scheme to characterize the temporal structure of a relativistic electron bunch, which predicts a 100-fs temporal resolution in numerical simulation. The proof of principle experiment demonstrates a peak current of 9 A and a slice energy spread of about 0.5 keV for the uncompressed electron beam of the Shanghai Deep UV Free Electron Laser Facility.
