Nuclear Symmetry Energy with QCD Sum Rule
We calculate the nucleon self-energies in an isospin asymmetric nuclear matter using QCD sum rule. Taking the difference of these for the neutron and proton enables us to express an important part of the nuclear symmetry energy in terms of local operators. Calculating the operator product expansion up to mass dimension six operators, we find that the main contribution to the difference comes from the iso-vector scalar and vector operators, which is reminiscent to the case of relativistic mean field type theories where mesons with aforementioned quantum numbers produce the difference and provide the dominant mechanism for nuclear symmetry energy.

A QCD Sum Rule Approach with an Explicit Di-quark Field
We introduce a phenomenological QCD sum rule with an explicit diquark field. We investigate certain configurations of hadrons are expected to have a good diquark structure. The parameters of the model are a diquark mass $${(m_\phi)}$$ and condensate $${(\langle \phi^2\rangle)}$$ . Assuming that Λ baryons can be represented by a diquark and a spectator quark configuration, we find the sum rule works well for Λ, Λc, and Λb. We also find a duality relation between the mass and the condensate for which the parameter sets give good Borel curves. To maintain good Borel curve, a smaller diquark condensate is needed for an increased diquark mass. Using these parameter sets, we test the diquark structure in some hadrons which contain both good and bad diquark configurations.

Vector mesons in nuclear matter
In this talk, I will summarize the progress in understanding the changes the vector meson spectral density in nuclear medium using the constraint equations obtained from the Borel transformed dispersion relation and QCD Operator Product Expansion. We will discuss the results for the scalar mass shift and dispersion effects (three momentum dependence) for the light quark system (ρ,ω), the strange quark system (φ) and the heavy quark system (J/ψ) in nuclear medium. For the light quark systems, a nontrivial change in the mass and/or width are expected, while the dispersion effects are found to be small. Existing model calculations for the dispersion effects are compared to the constraint equation in detail. Very small, but accurate mass shift is obtained for the heavy quark system.

Subthreshold cascade production in heavy ion collisions
Using a gauged flavor SU(3)-invariant hadronic Lagrangian, we have calculated the cross sections for the strangeness-exchange reactions in the Born approximation. These cross sections are then used in the Relativistic Vlasov-Uehling-Uhlenbeck (RVUU) transport model to study Ξ production in Ar+KCl collisions at incident energy of 1.76A GeV and impact parameter b = 3.5 fm. We find that including the contributions of hyperonhyperon scattering channels strongly enhances the yield of Ξ, leading to the abundance ratio which is essentially consistent with the recently measured value of by the HADES collaboration at GSI.

Simple analytic formula for the strength of spin depolarizing resonances
A simple analytic formula is derived to explain the periodicity of spin depolarizing resonance. The spin depolarizing resonance strengths of CPS and SPS at CERN and the lattices of meson factory at TRIUMF are used to compare with the analytic formula.

Holographic description of quantum field theory
Abstract We propose that general D-dimensional quantum field theories are dual to ( D + 1 ) -dimensional local quantum theories which in general include objects with spin two or higher. Using a general prescription, we construct a ( D + 1 ) -dimensional theory which is holographically dual to the D-dimensional O ( N ) vector model. From the holographic theory, the phase transition and critical properties of the model in dimensions D > 2 are described.

Bunch length compression manipulations
Bunch length compression of a single proton bunch is studied by manipulations of the rf voltage and phase. Analytical expressions for the compression ratio, defined as the ratio of the initial to the final bunch lengths, are derived for a linear model. Results obtained from numerical simulations are compared with experimental results. The ultimate maximum compression ratios are found to be p 2 p 3sf,i for the phase shift method and p 8 p 3p sf,i for the voltage manipulation method, where sf,i is the rms rf-phase spread of the initial beam bunch at the maximum rf voltage. Effects of space charge force are also studied.

Study of spin resonances in the accelerators with snakes
Spin resonances in the circular accelerators with snakes are studied to understand the nature of snake resonances. We analyze the effect of snake configuration, and the snake superperiod on the resonance. Defining the critical resonance strength ec as the maximum tolerable resonance strength without losing the beam polarization after passing through the resonance, we found that ec is a sensitive function of the snake configuration, the snake superperiod at the first order snake resonance, the higher order snake resonance conditions and the spin matching condition. Under properly designed snake configuration, the critical resonance strength ec is found to vary linearly with NS as 〈ec〉=(1/π)sin−1(cosπνz z‖1/2)NS, where νz and NS are the betatron tune and the number of snakes respectively. We also study the effect of overlapping intrinsic and imperfection resonances. The imperfection resonance should be corrected to a magnitude of insignificance (e.g., e≤0.1 for two snakes case) to maintain proper polarization.

Nuclear Density-Dependent Effective Coupling Constants in the Mean-Field Theory
It is shown that the equation of state of nuclear matter can be determined within the mean-field theory of $\sigma \omega$ model provided only that the nucleon effective mass curve is given. We use a family of the possible nucleon effective mass curves that reproduce the empirical saturation point in the calculation of the nuclear binding energy curves in order to obtain density-dependent effective coupling constants. The resulting density-dependent coupling constants may be used to study a possible equation of state of nuclear system at high density or neutron matter. Within the constraints used in this paper to $M^*$ of nuclear matter at saturation point and zero density, neutron matter of large incompressibility is strongly bound at high density while soft neutron matter is weakly bound at low density. The study also exhibits the importance of surface vibration modes in the study of nuclear equation of state.
