Cross sections and analyzing powers in the (p,d) reaction around 500 MeV
Abstract Cross sections and analyzing powers for the (p,d) reaction on 12 C, 13 C and 28 Si are measured around 500 MeV. DWBA calculations are found to reproduce the main features of the (p,d) data, when proton potentials are used which give strong oscillations in the (p,p) analyzing powers as required by the elastic data. Damping of the nuclear interior contribution is unimportant at this energy.

Large angle elastic and inelastic scattering of protons from Ca 40 at 800 MeV
Measurements are reported for the elastic and inelastic scattering of 800 MeV protons from $^{40}\mathrm{Ca}$. Differential cross sections were measured out to 42\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} while analyzing powers were obtained out to 30\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}. The angular distributions are diffractive in character at all angles. Theoretical analysis of the data was carried out in the framework of the diffraction multiple scattering theory. The following results were obtained: (i) Diffraction multiple scattering theory reproduces the data qualitatively out to the large momentum transfers. (ii) For the ground state density distribution ${〈{{r}_{p}}^{2}〉}^{\frac{1}{2}}\ensuremath{-}{〈{{r}_{n}}^{2}〉}^{\frac{1}{2}}=0.142\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.075$ fm is obtained and the analysis favors the value of the correlation length ${\ensuremath{\xi}}_{c}=\ensuremath{-}0.5$ fm. (iii) The excitation of the lowest-lying collective states (${3}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, ${5}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, ${2}^{+}$) was analyzed using one-phonon excitation macroscopic parameters. The values of the ${\ensuremath{\beta}}_{2}$, ${\ensuremath{\beta}}_{3}$, ${\ensuremath{\beta}}_{5}$ parameters obtained agree quantitatively with lower energy ($p$,${p}^{\ensuremath{'}}$) scattering results.

Differential cross sections and analyzing powers for pp elastic scattering at 1. 46 GeV/c in the Coulomb-nuclear interference region
Differential cross sections sigma(theta) and analyzing powers A(theta) for pp elastic scattering have been measured in the Coulomb-nuclear interference region at 800 MeV. The measurements, which extend down to 0.5 deg in the laboratory, have been analyzed to deduce the zero-degree pp scattering amplitudes. The ratio rho of the real to imaginary parts of the spin-independent amplitude was found to be -0.04 +- 0.04; the contribution of the double-spin-flip amplitudes to sigma(0) was found to be 0.16 +- 0.03 times that of the spin-independent amplitude; while the ratios of the imaginary and real parts of the single spin-flip amplitude to sintheta were found to be 0.74 +- 0.04 and -0.03 +- 0.08 fm, respectively. Except for the last, these experimental values agree with the predictions of forward dispersion relations and phase shift analyses.

Evidence for the noneikonal effects in the tensor and vector analyzing powers in p-d elastic scattering at 800 MeV☆
Abstract Deuteron tensor and vector analyzing powers have been measured for the first time in p- d elastic scattering at 800 MeV proton laboratory energy for a - t range between 0.032 and 1.038 (GeV/ c ) 2 . The data provide a very sensitive test of the multiple scattering theory at intermediate energies. The inclusion of the noneikonal correction in the Glauber diffraction theory is essential in the description of the data, especially for -t ⪆0.2 (GeV/ c 2 ), where discrepancies of up to 150% are observed with the theory based on the eikonal approximation.

Nonasymptotically AdS/dS solutions and their higher dimensional origins
We look for and analyze in some details some exact solutions of Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton gravity with one or two Liouville-type dilaton potential(s) in an arbitrary dimension. Such a theory could be obtained by dimensionally reducing Einstein-Maxwell theory with a cosmological constant to a lower dimension. These (neutral/magnetic/electric charged) solutions can have a (two) black hole horizon(s), cosmological horizon, or a naked singularity. Black hole horizon or cosmological horizon of these solutions can be a hypersurface of positive, zero or negative constant curvature. These exact solutions are neither asymptotically flat, nor asymptotically AdS/dS. But some of them can be uplifted to a higher dimension, and those higher dimensional solutions are either asymptotically flat, or asymptotically AdS/dS with/without a compact constant curvature space. This observation is useful to better understand holographic properties of these nonasymptotically AdS/dS solutions.

Rotating cylindrical shell source for Lewis spacetime
Rotating thin-shell-like sources for the stationary cylindrically symmetric vacuum solutions (Lewis) are constructed and studied. By imposing the non-existence of timelike curves in the exterior of the shell, and that the source satisfies the weak, dominant and strong energy conditions, it is found that the parameters, commonly denoted by a and σ, are restricted to 0 ≤ σ ≤ 1/4 when a > 0, or 1/4 ≤ σ ≤ 1/2 when a < 0.

Stability of spin-0 graviton and strong coupling in Horava-Lifshitz theory of gravity
In this paper, we consider two different issues, stability and strong coupling, raised lately in the newly-proposed Horava-Lifshitz (HL) theory of quantum gravity with projectability condition. We find that all the scalar modes are stable in the de Sitter background, due to two different kinds of effects, one from high-order derivatives of the spacetime curvature, and the other from the exponential expansion of the de Sitter space. Combining these effects properly, one can make the instability found in the Minkowski background never appear even for small-scale modes, provided that the IR limit is sufficiently closed to the relativistic fixed point. At the fixed point, all the modes become stabilized. We also show that the instability of Minkowski spacetime can be cured by introducing mass to the spin-0 graviton. The strong coupling problem is investigated following the effective field theory approach, and found that it cannot be cured by the Blas-Pujolas-Sibiryakov mechanism, initially designed for the case without projectability condition, but might be circumvented by the Vainshtein mechanism, due to the non-linear effects. In fact, we construct a class of exact solutions, and show explicitly that it reduces smoothly to the de Sitter spacetime in the relativistic limit.

Second-order corrections to the power spectrum in the slow-roll expansion with a time-dependent sound speed
We extend Green's function method developed by Stewart and Gong to calculate the power spectrum of density perturbation in the case with a time-dependent sound speed, and explicitly give the power spectrum and spectral index up to second-order corrections in the slow-roll expansion. The case of tachyon inflation is included as a special case.

Gravitational and particle radiation from long cosmic strings
Gravitational and massless particle radiation from infinitely long cosmic strings with finite thickness is studied by constructing analytic solutions to the Einstein field equations with certain forms of energy - momentum tensor. Using Thorne's -energy arguments, it is shown that the radiation always carries away energy. As a result, the angle defect outside the string is less than that in the non-radiation case. Since the solutions are exact, the back reaction of the radiation is automatically taken into account. In fact, it is shown that because of this back reaction the spacetime is always singular on the symmetry axis. The singularity is a scalar one and not removable.
