On the physical processes which lie at the bases of time variability of GRBs
The relative-space-time-transformation (RSTT) paradigm and the interpretation of the burst-structure (IBS) paradigm are applied to probe the origin of the time variability of GRBs. Again GRB 991216 is used as a prototypical case, thanks to the precise data from the CGRO, RXTE and Chandra satellites. It is found that with the exception of the relatively inconspicuous but scientifically very important signal originating from the initial ``proper gamma ray burst'' (P-GRB), all the other spikes and time variabilities can be explained by the interaction of the accelerated-baryonic-matter pulse with inhomogeneities in the interstellar matter. This can be demonstrated by using the RSTT paradigm as well as the IBS paradigm, to trace a typical spike observed in arrival time back to the corresponding one in the laboratory time. Using these paradigms, the identification of the physical nature of the time variablity of the GRBs can be made most convincingly. It is made explicit the dependence of a) the intensities of the afterglow, b) the spikes amplitude and c) the actual time structure on the Lorentz gamma factor of the accelerated-baryonic-matter pulse. In principle it is possible to read off from the spike structure the detailed density contrast of the interstellar medium in the host galaxy, even at very high redshift.

PHASE-STRUCTURE OF THE SU(2)-SO(3) LATTICE SYSTEM IN AN IMPROVED VARIATIONAL APPROACH
An improved trial action in the variational approach of the lattice gauge field theory is in-troduced to acquire better lower bound for the convexity Inequality and used to calculate the phase structure of the SU(2)-SO(3) pure gauge system. The improvement is seen in comparing the old and new variational results with that by the Monte Carlo simulation.

On evolution of the pair-electromagnetic pulse of a charged black hole
Using hydrodynamic computer codes, we study the possible patterns of relativistic expansion of an enormous pair-electromagnetic-pulse (P.E.M. pulse); a hot, high density plasma composed of photons, electron-positron pairs and baryons deposited near a charged black hole (EMBH). On the bases of baryon-loading and energy conservation, we study the bulk Lorentz factor of expansion of the P.E.M. pulse by both numerical and analytical methods.

GRB 050315: A step toward the uniqueness of the overall GRB structure and the true nature of long GRBs
Using the Swift data of GRB 050315, we progress on the uniqueness of our theoretically predicted Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) structure as composed by a proper-GRB (P-GRB), emitted at the transparency of an electron-positron plasma with suitable baryon loading, and an afterglow comprising the so called "prompt emission" as due to external shocks. Thanks to the Swift observations, we can theoretically fit detailed light curves for selected energy bands on a continuous time scale ranging over 10^6 seconds. The theoretically predicted instantaneous spectral distribution over the entire afterglow confirms a clear hard-to-soft behavior encompassing, continuously, the "prompt emission" all the way to the latest phases of the afterglow. Consequences of the instrumental threshold on the definition of "short" and "long" GRBs are discussed.

The Dynamical Casimir Effect and Energetic Sources for Gamma Ray Bursts
On the analogy of the Casimir effect, we present an effect of quantum-field fluctuations, attributed to gravitational field coupling to the zero-point energy of virtual particles in the vacuum. In the process of black hole's formation, such an effect could cause tremendous energy release, possibly describing a scenario of energetic sources for observed gamma ray bursts.

Partial wave analysis of J / psi --> gamma (eta pi+ pi-)
Abstract A partial wave analysis of BES J / ψ → γ ( ηπ + π − ) data has been performed in the mass region 1.1 to 2.0 GeV. A peak is observed due to η (1440) in the ηπ + π − invariant mass distribution; J P =0 − is preferred over 1 + . Its mass is M =1385±7 MeV and it decays into both ησ and a 0 (980) π , with BR[ a 0 (980) π , a 0 → ηπ / ησ ]=0.70±0.12( stat )±0.20( syst ). Destructive interference between the two decay modes is observed. In addition, in the higher ηπ + π − mass region, there is a definite 2 −+ signal, with M =1840±15 MeV and Γ =170±40 MeV and an additional 0 −+ signal at 1760±35 MeV. We also find a possible contribution from a 1 ++ signal decaying dominantly through a 0 (980) π ; its mass and width are fitted to be M =1505±20 MeV and Γ =130 −20 +50 MeV.

Search for supersymmetric particles using acoplanar charged-particle pairs from Z0 decays
We have performed a search for supersymmetric particles using acoplanar pairs of oppositely-charged particles in decays of the Z0. In 0.53 pb−1 of integrated luminosity near the Z0 peak, we observe two events where approximately four are expected from background, allowing limits to be extended on combined photino and slepton masses, and also on combined photino and chargino masses.

Energy moments for quark jets at PETRA
Measurements of energy moments for single quark jets at c.m. energies between 12 and 31.6 GeV are presented. The data, corrected for detector effects and initial state radiation, are compared to QCD predictions in the leading log approximation. Non perturbative effects are found to be moderate, and they strongly decrease with increasing c.m. energy. Once partly corrected for the presence of these fragmentation effects, our data agree well with all features of the leading log prediction, and in particular with the variation of the strong coupling constant over a wide range of energies and momentum transfers.
