Studies of the vector meson mass generation scheme by chiral anomalies in two-dimensional nonAbelian gauge theories
Higher order effects of the two-dimensional non-Abelian gauge theories, in which the vector-meson mass is generated by chiral anomalies, will be studied. The $\beta$ function and the topological nature of the non-linear $\sigma$ model in the action and unitarity of the theory will be discussed.

Purely gluonic soliton solutions in the leading-logarithm model.
Finite-energy, purely gluonic, soliton solutions are considered in atwo-dimensional space on the basis of the leading-logarithm model which isequivalent to electromagnetism with a dielectric constant /epsilon/logarithmically proportional to the fields. Solutions, in the absence ofsources, are possible provided /epsilon//gt/0 and /epsilon//lt/0 are bothpresent in the same space.

Sign of the neutron-proton mass difference in an SU(2) x U(1) supersymmetric toy model: A possible scenario for solving the old puzzle.
Based on the idea that electromagnetism is responsible for mass differences within isotopic multiplets (e.g., pointlike neutron and proton or {ital u} and {ital d} quarks), we generalize an SU(2){times}U(1) model in a toy field theory of vectors to a supersymmetric model and investigate the finite mass difference within the isotopic doublet. It is found that under soft-supersymmetry breaking, a positive {ital n}-{ital p} mass difference can be obtained under reasonable assumptions for the parameters involved.

Antilambda production in Au+Au collisions at 11.7A GeV/c.
We present results for antilambda and antiproton production in Au+Au collisions at 11.7 A GeV/c including spectra and extracted invariant yields for both species in central and peripheral collisions in the rapidity range 1.0<y<1.4. The antilambda yield increases from dN(Lambda;)/dy = 1.2(+0.7+0.2)(-0.6-0.2)x10(-3) in peripheral collisions to 19(+4+3)(-5-2)x10(-3) in central collisions. The direct antiproton yield is deduced from the measured total antiproton spectra to extract the ratio of antilambda-to-direct-antiproton production. The Lambda/p ratio near midrapidity increases from 0.26(+0.19+0.5)(-0.15-0.4) in peripheral collisions to 3.6(+4.7+2.7)(-1.8-1.1) in central collisions, a value larger than current theoretical estimates.

E917 at the AGS: High Density Baryon Matter
Nuclear matter of high density is created during the collisions of Au+Au nuclei using the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) located at Brookhaven National Laboratory.1, 2 Whether the formation of a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) occurs during these heavy-ion collisions, or even if it is possible to extract an unambiguous signal of its existence from the background of hadronic debris, remains highly speculative. Regardless of whether a QGP is created, the potential exists to do a great deal of interesting and exciting physics with the high density baryonic matter created during the Au+Au collisions at the AGS.

Simultaneous multiplicity and forward energy characterization of particle spectra in Au + Au collisions at 11.6-A-GeV/c
In this paper Au+Au collisions at 11.6A GeV/c are characterized by two global observables: the energy measured near zero degrees (E{sub ZCAL}) and the total event multiplicity. Particle spectra are measured for different event classes that are defined in a two-dimensional grid of both global observables. For moderately central events ({sigma}/{sigma}{sub int}{lt}12{percent}) the proton dN/dy distributions do not depend on E{sub ZCAL} but only on the event multiplicity. In contrast the shape of the proton transverse spectra shows little dependence on the event multiplicity. The change in the proton dN/dy distributions suggests that different conditions are formed in the collision for different event classes. These event classes are studied for signals of new physics by measuring pion and kaon spectra and yields. In the event classes doubly selected on E{sub ZCAL} and multiplicity there is no indication of any unusual pion or kaon yields, spectra, or K/{pi} ratio even in the events with extreme multiplicity. {copyright} {ital 1999} {ital The American Physical Society}

Study of jet shapes in inclusive jet production in pp collisions at sqrt[s]=7 TeV using the ATLAS detector
Jet shapes have been measured in inclusive jet production in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV using 3 pb^{-1} of data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. Jets are reconstructed using the anti-kt algorithm with transverse momentum 30 GeV < pT < 600 GeV and rapidity in the region |y| < 2.8. The data are corrected for detector effects and compared to several leading-order QCD matrix elements plus parton shower Monte Carlo predictions, including different sets of parameters tuned to model fragmentation processes and underlying event contributions in the final state. The measured jets become narrower with increasing jet transverse momentum and the jet shapes present a moderate jet rapidity dependence. Within QCD, the data test a variety of perturbative and non-perturbative effects. In particular, the data show sensitivity to the details of the parton shower, fragmentation, and underlying event models in the Monte Carlo generators. For an appropriate choice of the parameters used in these models, the data are well described.

BEAM INSTABILITY STUDIES IN THE BEPC
The Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC) has been operated since 1987 for the experiment of high energy physics and synchrotron radiation application. About 25mA of a single bunch per beam for colliding is obtained at the energy of 1.55GeV, and over 120mA multi-bunch electron beam is reached at the energy of 2.2GeV in routine operation. Many current dependent phenomena have been observed and analysed during operation and machine studies for years. The bunch lengthening effect, the beam photoelectron instability, the dust effect and the beam ion instability are intensively studied in recent years.

Measurement of $\eta^\prime\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^- e^+e^-$ and $\eta^\prime\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-\mu^+\mu^-$
Based on a sample of 225.3 million J/\psi events accumulated with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII, the decays of \eta' to pi+pi-l+l- are studied via J/\psi to \gamma\eta'. A clear \eta' signal is observed in the pi+pi-e+e- mass spectrum, and the branching fraction is measured to be \BR(\eta' to pi+pi-e+e-) = (2.11\pm0.12 (stat.)\pm0.15 (syst.))\times10^{-3}, which is in good agreement with theoretical predictions and the previous measurement, but is determined with much higher precision. No \eta' signal is found in the pi+ pi- mu+ mu- mass spectrum, and the upper limit is determined to be \BR(\eta' to pi+ pi- mu+ mu-)<2.9\times10^{-5} at the 90% confidence level.
