Threshold resummation for $W^{\pm}Z$ and $ZZ$ pair production at the LHC
We perform the threshold resummation for WZ and ZZ pair production at the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy in Soft-Collinear Effective Theory at the LHC. Our results show that the resummation effects increase the total cross sections by about 7% for ZZ production and 12% for WZ production with$\sqrt{S}= 7,~8,~13 and 14 TeV, respectively, and the scale uncertainties are significantly reduced. Besides, our numerical results are well consistent with experimental data reported by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations.

Special Theory for Superluminal Particle
The OPERA collaboration reported evidence for muonic neutrinos travelling faster than light in vacuum. In this paper, an extended relativity theory is proposed. We think all particles can be divided into three kinds: The first kind of particle is its velocity in the range of $0\leq v < c$, e.g. electron, atom, molecule and so on ($c$ is light velocity, i.e., the limit velocity of the first kind of particle). The second kind of particle is its velocity in the range of $0\leq v < c_{m1}$, e.g. photon ($c_{m1}$ is the limit velocity of the second kind of particle). The third kind of particle is its velocity in the range of $c\leq v < c_{m2}$, e.g. tachyon, and muonic neutrinos ($c_{m2}$ is the limit velocity of the third kind of particle). The first kind of particle is described by the special relativity. With the extended relativity theory, we can describe the second and third kinds particles, and can analysis the OPERA experiment results and calculate the muonic neutrinos mass.

Dirac Equation at Finite Temperature
In this paper, we propose finite temperature Dirac equation, which can describe the quantum systems in an arbitrary temperature for a relativistic particle of spin-1/2. When the temperature T=0, it become Dirac equation. With the equation, we can study the relativistic quantum systems in an arbitrary temperature.

Constraints on flavor-changing neutral-current $Htq$ couplings from the signal of $tH$ associated production with QCD next-to-leading order accuracy at the LHC
We study a generic Higgs boson and a top quark associated production via model-independent flavor-changing neutral-current couplings at the LHC, including complete QCD next-to-leading order (NLO) corrections to the production and decay of the top quark and the Higgs boson. We find that QCD NLO corrections can increase the total production cross sections by about 48.9% and 57.9% for the Htu and Htc coupling induced processes at the LHC, respectively. After kinematic cuts are imposed on the decay products of the top quark and the Higgs boson, the QCD NLO corrections are reduced to 11% for the Htu coupling induced process and almost vanish for the Htc coupling induced process. Moreover, QCD NLO corrections reduce the dependence of the total cross sections on the renormalization and factorization scales. We also discuss signals of the

Transverse-Momentum Resummation for Gauge Boson Pair Production at the Hadron Collider
We perform the transverse-momentum resummation for $W^{+}W^{-}$, $ZZ$, and $W^{\pm}Z$ pair productions at the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy using soft-collinear effective theory for $\sqrt{S}=8 \text{TeV}$ and $\sqrt{S}=14 \text{TeV}$ at the LHC, respectively. Especially, this is the first calculation of $W^{\pm}Z$ transverse-momentum resummation. We also include the non-perturbative effects and discussions on the PDF uncertainties. Comparing with the next-to-leading logarithmic results, the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic resummation can reduce the dependence of the transverse-momentum distribution on the factorization scales significantly. Finally, we find that our numerical results are consistent with data measured by CMS collaboration for the $ZZ$ production, which have been only reported by the LHC experiments for the unfolded transverse-momentum distribution of the gauge boson pair production so far, within theoretical and experimental uncertainties.

OPERATOR FORMS OF THE CLASSICAL YANG–BAXTER EQUATION IN LIE SUPERALGEBRAS
In this paper, we study the operator forms of the classical Yang–Baxter equation (CYBE) in Lie superalgebras. We introduce the notion of super -operators and give their relationship with the (standard) tensor form. There are close relationships between the CYBE in Lie superalgebras and left-symmetric superalgebras which can be interpreted through the super -operators. In particular, there are natural and explicit solutions of the CYBE in Lie superalgebras constructed from left-symmetric superalgebras.

One-side forward-backward asymmetry in top quark pair production at the CERN Large Hadron Collider
Both D0 and CDF at Tevatron reported the measurements of forward-backward asymmetry in top pair production, which showed possible deviation from the standard model QCD prediction. In this paper, we explore how to examine the same higher-order QCD effects at the more powerful Large Hadron Collider.

Magnetohydrodynamic simulation of the interaction between two interplanetary magnetic clouds and its consequent geoeffectiveness
[1] Numerical studies of the interplanetary “multiple magnetic clouds (Multi-MC)” are performed by a 2.5-dimensional ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model in the heliospheric meridional plane. Both slow MC1 and fast MC2 are initially emerged along the heliospheric equator, one after another with different time intervals. The coupling of two MCs could be considered as the comprehensive interaction between two systems, each comprising of an MC body and its driven shock. The MC2-driven shock and MC2 body are successively involved into interaction with MC1 body. The momentum is transferred from MC2 to MC1. After the passage of MC2-driven shock front, magnetic field lines in MC1 medium previously compressed by MC2-driven shock are prevented from being restored by the MC2 body pushing. MC1 body undergoes the most violent compression from the ambient solar wind ahead, continuous penetration of MC2-driven shock through MC1 body, and persistent pushing of MC2 body at MC1 tail boundary. As the evolution proceeds, the MC1 body suffers from larger and larger compression, and its original vulnerable magnetic elasticity becomes stiffer and stiffer. So there exists a maximum compressibility of Multi-MC when the accumulated elasticity can balance the external compression. This cutoff limit of compressibility mainly decides the maximally available geoeffectiveness of Multi-MC because the geoeffectiveness enhancement of MCs interacting is ascribed to the compression. Particularly, the greatest geoeffectiveness is excited among all combinations of each MC helicity, if magnetic field lines in the interacting region of Multi-MC are all southward. Multi-MC completes its final evolutionary stage when the MC2-driven shock is merged with MC1-driven shock into a stronger compound shock. With respect to Multi-MC geoeffectiveness, the evolution stage is a dominant factor, whereas the collision intensity is a subordinate one. The magnetic elasticity, magnetic helicity of each MC, and compression between each other are the key physical factors for the formation, propagation, evolution, and resulting geoeffectiveness of interplanetary Multi-MC.

Quantum UV/IR relations and holographic dark energy from entropic force
We investigate the implications of the entropic force formalism proposed by Verlinde. We show that an UV/IR relation proposed by Cohen et al., as well as an uncertainty principle proposed by Hogan can be derived from the entropic force formalism. We show that applying the entropic force formalism to cosmology, there is an additional term in the Friedmann equation, which can be identified as holographic dark energy. We also propose an intuitive picture of holographic screen, which can be thought of as an improvement of Susskind's holographic screen.

New color-octet axial vector boson revisited
In this paper we reexamine how to utilize the previous proposed color-octet axial-vector boson Z(C) to explain the 3: 4 sigma anomaly of t (t) over bar forward-backward (FB) asymmetry A(FB) for m(t (t) over bar) > 450 GeV observed by CDF. Our numerical results indicate that the best-fit parameters are g(A)(q) = 0: 07, g(A)(Q) 3, and M(C) 440 GeV, which are obtained by fitting the mass dependent AFB and total cross section data provided by a recent CDF measurement. Here g(A)(q) (g(A)(Q)) and MC are the axial couplings among Z(C) with the first two (the third) generation quarks, and Z(C) mass, respectively. We also calculate one-side forward-backward asymmetry AOFB for top and bottom quark pair production at the LHC, focusing on the new contributions from Z(C). Our studies show that AOFB can be utilized to measure the properties of new particle Z(C).

JUNO: A Multi-Purpose LS-based Experiment
After the discovery of the non-zero neutrino mixing angle 13 by the Daya Bay experiment and confirmed soon by many others, the most pressing question of neutrino physics is the mass hierarchy. We propose a next generation reactor neutrino experiment using the liquid scintillator to precisely measure the reactor neutrino energy spectrum so to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy. This is a multi-purpose experiment, which can also measure precisely neutrino mixing parameters 122132, and study supernova neutrinos, geo-neutrinos, sterile neutrinos as well as solar and atmospheric neutrinos. This new experiment is now under preparation and its progress is reported here.
