The Structure Function of Six-Quark Cluster and the EMC Effect
Based upon the experiments on electric form factor for deutron use is made of the valon model to determine the valon distribution functions in a six-quark cluster. By using the QCD evolution equation, the dependence of the structure function of a six-quark cluster is obtained. The EMC effect is discussed and it is pointed out that the distortion of the nucleon structure function in nuclei may be ascribed to the contributions from the six-quark cluster(for ) and the meson cloud(for ).

Partonic Structure of the Pomeron in the Modified GLR Equation
The gluon recombination effect in the pomeron is studied by using the modified Gribov–Levin–Ryskin evolution equation. We find that the measured parton distributions in the pomeron can be generated dynamically from a purely gluonic input on assuming a small size for the pomeron.

Nuclear Shadowing and Antishadowing in a Unitarized BFKL Equation
The nuclear shadowing and antishadowing effects are explained by a unitarized BFKL equation. The Q2and x-variations of the nuclear parton distributions are detailed based on the level of the unintegrated gluon distribution. In particular, the asymptotical behavior of the unintegrated gluon distribution near the saturation limit in nuclear targets is studied. Our results in the nuclear targets are insensitive to the input distributions if the parameters are fixed by the data of a free proton.

A New Effect in the QCD Fusion of Nuclear Partons
The parton fusion in nucleus at the leading order of recombination is investigated based on perturbative QCD. We compute various cut diagrams including the nuclear parton fusion, and find that the parton-fusion effects depend on the nuclear QCD structure.

Bag skin effect for Friedberg-Lee model
Importance of the bag skin effect to determine the parameters of the Friedberg-Lee model is pointed out. The European Muon Collaboration (EMC) effect regarded as a bag skin effect can be used to determine the parameters of this model.

A twist-4 effect in the parton evolution processes
Recently, a research group reported that they can fit the F2 data well by using the Altarelli-Parisi evolution equation with a valence-like initial gluon distribution, which means that we need not consider the high twist effects in the proton. In this letter, we point out that their valence-like initial gluon distribution is unreasonable for the proton structure function. With the reasonable initial distributions, we find that the high twist corrections to the Altarelli-Parisi evolution equation is necessary.

Quark distributions in nuclei and nuclear effects on nucleon structure functions
Extended quark distribution functions are presented obtained by fitting a large amount of experimental data of the l-A DIS process on the basis of an improved nuclear density model. The experimental data of l-A DIS processes with A ≥ 3 in the region 0.0010 ≤ x ≥ 0.9500 are quite satisfactorily described by using the extended formulae. Our knowledge of the influence of nuclear matter on the quark distributions is deepened.

Phenomenological study of Sudakov effects in the pion form factor
The pion electromagnetic form factor with leading and next-to-leading twist corrections is studied in the framework of the pQCD approach. We find that the Sudakov effects provide a weak suppression of the nonperturbative contributions at the experimental accessible energy region. We also find a large twist-3 contribution. Our conclusion is that the prediction of the pion form factor in the pQCD approach is not precise.

Collective Transverse Flow in Intermediate Energy Heavy-Ion Collisions
Within the hadronic transport model IBUU04, we study the density-dependent symmetry energy by using the neutron-proton differential flow from the 132Sn+124 Sn reactions at beam energies of 200, 400, 600 and 800 MeV per nucleon. The strong effect of the symmetry energy is shown at the incident beam energy of 400 MeV/A. The small medium-effect of the neutron-proton differential flow is also found. We also study the neutron-proton differential flows with impact parameters of 3, 5, 7 fm. It is found that in semi-central collisions the sensitivity of the neutron-proton differential flow to the symmetry energy is larger.

Properties and structure of N = Z nuclei within relativistic mean field theory
The axially deformed relativistic mean field theory with the force NLSH has been performed in the blocked BCS approximation to investigate the properties and structure of N = Z nuclei from Z = 20 to Z = 48. Some ground state quantities such as binding energies, quadrupole deformations, one/two-nucleon separation energies, root-mean-square (rms) radii of charge and neutron, and shell gaps have been calculated. The results suggest that large deformations can be found in medium-heavy nuclei with N = Z = 38–42. The charge and neutron rms radii increase rapidly beyond the magic number N = Z = 28 until Z = 42 with increasing nucleon number, which is similar to isotope shift, yet beyond Z = 42, they decrease dramatically as the structure changes greatly from Z = 42 to Z = 43. The evolution of shell gaps with proton number Z can be clearly observed. Besides the appearance of possible new shell closures, some conventional shell closures have been found to disappear in some region. In addition, we found that the Coulomb interaction is not strong enough to breakdown the shell structure of protons in the current region.

A solution to Higgs naturalness
The Standard Model (SM) is usually considered to be unnatural because the scalar Higgs mass receives a quadratic divergent correction. We suggest a new way to solve the naturalness problem from point of view of renormalization group method. Our approach is illustrated through the familiar $\phi^4$ theory. A renormalization group equation for scalar field mass is proposed by introducing a subtraction scale. We give a non-trivial prediction: the Higss mass at short-distance is a damping exponential function of the energy scale. It follows from a characteristic of the SM that the couplings to Higgs are proportional to field masses, in particular the Higgs self-interactions. In the ultraviolent limit, the Higgs mass approaches to a mass called by Veltman mass which is at the order of the electroweak scale. The fine-tuning is not necessary. The Higgs naturalness problem is solved by radiative corrections themselves.
