Study of $J/\psi\to p\bar{p}$ and $J/\psi\to n\bar{n}$
The decays $J/\psi\to p\bar{p}$ and $J/\psi\to n\bar{n}$ have been investigated with a sample of 225.2 million $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII $e^+e^-$ collider. The branching fractions are determined to be $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\to p\bar{p})=(2.112\pm0.004\pm0.031)\times10^{-3}$ and $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\to n\bar{n})=(2.07\pm0.01\pm0.17)\times10^{-3}$. Distributions of the angle $\theta$ between the proton or anti-neutron and the beam direction are well described by the form $1+\alpha\cos^2\theta$, and we find $\alpha=0.595\pm0.012\pm0.015$ for $J/\psi\to p\bar{p}$ and $\alpha=0.50\pm0.04\pm0.21$ for $J/\psi\to n\bar{n}$. Our branching-fraction results suggest a large phase angle between the strong and electromagnetic amplitudes describing the $J/\psi\to N\bar{N}$ decay.

Measurements of $\psi^\prime \to \bar{p} K^+ \Sigma^0$ and $\chi_{cj} \to \bar{p} K^+ \Lambda$
Using a sample of 1.06 x 10(8) psi' mesons collectedwith the BESIII detector at the BEPCII e(+)e(-) collider and chi(cJ) mesons produced via radiative transitions from the psi', we report the first observation for psi' -> (p) over barK(+)Sigma(0) + c.c. (charge conjugate), as well as improved measurements for the chi(cJ) hyperon decays chi(cJ) -> (p) over barK(+) Lambda + c.c. The branching fractions are measured to be B(psi' -> (p) over barK(+) Sigma(0) + c.c) = (1.67 +/- 0.13 +/- 0.12) x 10(-5), B(chi(c0) -> (p) over barK(+) Lambda + c.c) = (13.2 +/- 0.3 +/- 1.0) x 10(-4), B(chi(c1) -> (p) over barK(+) Lambda + c.c) = (4.5 +/- 0.2 +/- 0.4) x 10(-4), and B(chi(c2) -> (p) over barK(+) Lambda + c.c) = (8.4 +/- 0.3 +/- 0.6) x 10(-4), where the first error is statistical, and the second is systematic. In the decay of chi(c0) -> (p) over barK(+) Lambda + c.c:, an anomalous enhancement near threshold is observed in the invariant mass distribution of (p) over bar Lambda + c.c:, which cannot be explained by phase space.

Spectral measurement of electron antineutrino oscillation amplitude and frequency at Daya Bay.
A measurement of the energy dependence of antineutrino disappearance at the Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment is reported. Electron antineutrinos (ν¯(e)) from six 2.9  GW(th) reactors were detected with six detectors deployed in two near (effective baselines 512 and 561 m) and one far (1579 m) underground experimental halls. Using 217 days of data, 41 589 (203 809 and 92 912) antineutrino candidates were detected in the far hall (near halls). An improved measurement of the oscillation amplitude sin(2)2θ(13)=0.090(-0.009)(+0.008) and the first direct measurement of the ν¯(e) mass-squared difference |Δm(ee)2|=(2.59(-0.20)(+0.19))×10(-3)  eV2 is obtained using the observed ν¯(e) rates and energy spectra in a three-neutrino framework. This value of |Δm(ee)2| is consistent with |Δm(μμ)2| measured by muon neutrino disappearance, supporting the three-flavor oscillation model.

Search for a light sterile neutrino at Daya Bay.
A search for light sterile neutrino mixing was performed with the first 217 days of data from the Daya Bay Reactor Antineutrino Experiment. The experiment's unique configuration of multiple baselines from six 2.9 GW(th) nuclear reactors to six antineutrino detectors deployed in two near (effective baselines 512 m and 561 m) and one far (1579 m) underground experimental halls makes it possible to test for oscillations to a fourth (sterile) neutrino in the 10(-3) eV(2)<|Δm(41)(2) |< 0.3 eV(2) range. The relative spectral distortion due to the disappearance of electron antineutrinos was found to be consistent with that of the three-flavor oscillation model. The derived limits on sin(2) 2θ(14) cover the 10(-3) eV(2) ≲ |Δm(41)(2)| ≲ 0.1 eV(2) region, which was largely unexplored.

Light top squark in precision top quark sample
The uncertainty of $t\bar{t}$ production cross section measurement at LHC is at a-few-percent level which still allows the stop pair production $\tilde{t}\tilde{t}^{*}$ with identical final states $2b+\ell+nj+{E}_{T}$. In this paper, we attempt to use the existing measurement of $W$-polarization in top quark decay to improve the distinction between stop and top quark states. We apply the ATLAS $\chi^2$ method of $W$-polarization measurement in semi-leptonic $t\bar{t}$ final state to semi-leptonic stop pair samples and study its prediction. We find that the faked top events from stop mostly contribute to the left-handed polarized $W$ due to the reconstruction. The benchmark point with maximal contribution to top events only changes $F_{L}$ by 1%. After comparing with the current experiments, we conclude that the current measurement of $W$-polarization in $t$ decay cannot exclude the light stop scenario.

Higgs boson decays and production via gluon fusion at LHC in littlest Higgs models with T-parity
We study the Higgs boson decays and production via gluon fusion at the LHC as a probe of two typical littlest Higgs models which introduce a top quark partner with different (even and odd) T parity to cancel the Higgs mass quadratic divergence contributed by the top quark. For each model, we consider two different choices for the down-type quark Yukawa couplings. We first examine the branching ratios of the Higgs boson decays and then study the production via gluon fusion followed by the decay into two photons or two weak gauge bosons. We find that the predictions can be quite different for different models or different choices of down-type quark Yukawa couplings, and all these predictions can sizably deviate from the standard model predictions. So the Higgs boson processes at the LHC can be a sensitive probe for these littlest Higgs models.

Leading-order actions of Goldstino fields
This paper starts with a self-contained discussion of the so-called Akulov–Volkov action $\mathcal{S}_{\mathrm{AV}}$, which is traditionally taken to be the leading-order action of the Goldstino field. Explicit expressions for $\mathcal{S}_{\mathrm{AV}}$ and its chiral version $\mathcal{S}_{\mathrm{AV}}^{\mathrm{ch}}$ are presented. We then turn to the issue on how these actions are related to the leading-order action $\mathcal{S}_{\mathrm{NL}}$ proposed in the newly proposed constrained superfield formalism. We show that $\mathcal{S}_{\mathrm{NL}}$ may yield $\mathcal{S}_{\mathrm {AV}}/\mathcal{S}_{\mathrm{AV}}^{\mathrm{ch}}$ or a totally different action $\mathcal{S}_{\mathrm{KS}}$, depending on how the auxiliary field in the former is integrated out. However, $\mathcal{S}_{\mathrm{KS}}$ and $\mathcal{S}_{\mathrm {AV}}/\mathcal{S}_{\mathrm{AV}}^{\mathrm{ch}}$ always yield the same S-matrix elements, as one would have expected from general considerations in quantum field theory.
