Calculation of bulk viscosity of QCD at zero temperature and finite chemical potential
In this paper, based on Kubo's formula and the QCD low energy theorem, we propose a direct formula for calculating the bulk viscosity of QCD at finite chemical potential μ and zero temperature. According to this formula, the bulk viscosity at finite μ is totally determined by the dressed quark propagator at finite μ. We then use a dynamical, confining Dyson–Schwinger equation model of QCD to calculate the bulk viscosity at finite μ. It is found that no sharp peak behavior of the bulk viscosity at finite μ is observed, which is quite different from that of the bulk viscosity at finite temperature.

The calculation of quark number susceptibility at finite chemical potential and temperature
Abstract In this paper, we calculate the quark number susceptibility (QNS) at finite chemical potential μ and finite temperature T in the framework of the Dyson-Schwinger approach using the meromorphic quark propagator proposed in [Phys. Rev. D 70 , 014014 (2004)]. Analysis and discussions of the calculated result of the QNS is given.

The Renormalized Equation of State and Quark Star
By means of the EOS of QCD at zero temperature and finite quark chemical potential we proposed [Phys. Rev. D 78(2008)054001] in the framework of rainbow-ladder approximation of Dyson-Schwinger approach, we investigate the structure of quark star and its property. It is found that the mass-radius relation in our model is very different from that of usual quark star models, but similar to neutron star models. The obtained mass of quark star is about 1.75M⊙ ~ 2.2M⊙. The obtained radius of quark star is 22 ~ 26 km, which is obviously larger than the results in other models. The reason for this discrepancy is analyzed.

The Wigner solution of quark gap equation and chiral phase transition of QCD at finite temperature and nonzero chemical potential
By employing some modification to the normal NJL model, we discuss the Wigner solution of quark gap equation at finite temperature and chemical potential when the current quark mass m is nonzero. The discovery of the coexistence of the Nambu solution and the Wigner solution at finite temperature and chemical potential beyond the chiral limit is of great importance in the study of the chiral phase transition of QCD. Using the pressure difference between Nambu phase and Wigner phase (or in other words, the bag constant) as an order parameter for chiral phase transition, we draw a possible phase diagram based on our calculations.

The equation of state of QCD under hard-dense-loop approximation
Based on the method proposed by Zong et al., we calculate the equation of state (EOS) of QCD at zero temperature and finite quark chemical potential under the hard-dense-loop (HDL) approximation. A comparison between the EOS under HDL approximation and the cold, perturbative EOS of QCD proposed by Fraga, Pisarski and Schaffner-Bielich is made. It is found that when µ is less than 4.7 GeV, the pressure density calculated using HDL approximation is much larger than that calculated using perturbation theory. This enhancement of the obtained pressure density with respect to that of perturbation theory can be regarded as a possible explanation for the strong coupled QGP. It is also expected that the obtained EOS can be applied in the study of neutron stars.

Quark-meson vertices and pion properties at finite chemical potential
Based on the rainbow-ladder approximation of the Dyson-Schwinger equations and the assumption of the analyticity of the quark-meson vertex in the neighborhood of zero chemical potential ({mu}=0) and neglecting the {mu}-dependence of the dressed gluon propagator, we use the method of studying the dressed quark propagator at finite chemical potential given in [H. S. Zong, L. Chang, F.Y. Hou, W. M. Sun, and Y. X. Liu, Phys. Rev. C 71, 015205 (2005)] to show that the axial-vector quark-meson vertex at finite {mu} can be obtained from the corresponding one at {mu}=0 by a shift of variable: {gamma}{sub 5{nu}}{sup j}[{mu}](k, p)={gamma}{sub 5{nu}}{sup j}(k{approx}, p), where k and p are the relative and total momentum of the quark-antiquark pair, respectively, and k{approx}=(k-vector, k{sub 4}+i{mu}). Similar relations hold for any other type of quark-meson vertex. This feature would facilitate the numerical calculations of the quark-meson vertex function at finite {mu} considerably. Based on these results and using the dressed quark propagator at {mu}=0 proposed in [R. Alkofer, W. Detmold, C. S. Fischer, and P. Maris, Phys. Rev. D 70, 014014 (2004)], we calculate the pion decay constant f{sub {pi}} and the pion mass m{sub {pi}} at finite {mu} and a comparison of ourmore » results with those in the literature is made.« less

Fixing the quantum three-point function
A bstractWe propose a new method for the computation of quantum three-point functions for operators in $ \mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{u} $(2) sectors of $ \mathcal{N} $ = 4 super Yang-Mills theory. The method is based on the existence of a unitary transformation relating inhomogeneous and long-range spin chains. This transformation can be traced back to a combination of boost operators and an inhomogeneous version of Baxter’s corner transfer matrix. We reproduce the existing results for the one-loop structure constants in a simplified form and indicate how to use the method at higher loop orders. Then we evaluate the one-loop structure constants in the quasiclassical limit and compare them with the recent strong coupling computation.

Multi-harmonic test setup for RF breakdown studies
A multi-harmonic asymmetric cavity is predicted to obtain lower RF breakdown probability than a conventional pillbox cavity, when driven by two or more external RF harmonic sources. Experimental efforts are underway to study RF breakdown in a bimodal asymmetric cavity powered by dual frequency test stand. Details of design of the test stand are described.

Modified magnicon for high-gradient accelerator R&D
A design is presented of a modified 34.3 GHz magnicon amplifier with a TE311-mode output cavity, to replace the existing magnicon at Yale Beam Physics Lab Test Facility whose output cavity operates in the TM310 mode. The main goal for the new design is to achieve robust day-to-day reliable operation at pulsed power levels up to 25 MW.

Toric sheaves on weighted projective planes
We give an explicit description of toric sheaves on the weighted projective plane P(a, b, c) viewed as a toric Deligne-Mumford stack. The stack P(a, b, c) has an action of the torus T = C and by a toric sheaf we mean a coherent sheaf together with a lift of the torus action. The integers (a, b, c) are not necessarily chosen coprime or mutually coprime allowing for gerbe and root stack structures. This is a first step in an attempt to give an explicit description of toric sheaves on any smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stack. Specializing the description to torsion free sheaves gives a combinatorial picture with various new features, which do not appear in the case of smooth toric varieties. As an application, we describe the fixed point locus of the moduli scheme of stable rank 1 and 2 torsion free sheaves on P(a, b, c) with fixed K-group class. Summing over all K-group classes, we obtain formulae for generating functions of the topological Euler characteristics of these moduli schemes.

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.
