Α-decay half-lives of ground and isomeric states of exotic nuclei around closed shells
We investigate the α-decay half-lives of ground and isomeric states of exotic nuclei around the shell closures Z = 82 and N = 82 by the density-dependent cluster model (DDCM). Our calculations concentrate on four kinds of favored a transitions: (1) ground state to ground state, (2) ground state to isomeric state, (3) isomeric state to ground state, and (4) isomeric state to isomeric state. The calculated α-decay half-lives of both ground and isomeric states are found to be in good agreement with the experimental data. Useful predictions on the partial half-lives of several a emitters are made for future experiments.

Relativistic eikonal approaches to parity violating electron-nucleus scattering
The Coulomb electron scattering on even-even nuclei and the magnetic electron scattering on odd-$A$ nuclei have been investigated in the relativistic eikonal approximation and in the plane wave Born approximation, respectively. In this article, we generalize the relativistic eikonal approximation to the parity violating electron scattering on even-even nuclei. The parity violating asymmetries at electron energy of 850 MeV are calculated for three typical cases: Ca isotopes, $N=50$ isotones, and $N=Z$ doubly magic nuclei. In calculations the proton and neutron densities are obtained from the relativistic mean-field theory. The parity violating asymmetries are analyzed by comparing both the form factors and the densities of neutrons and protons. It is found that the parity violating asymmetries are sensitive to the differences between neutron and proton densities. Our results provide useful references for the parity violating electron-nucleus scattering experiments in the future.

Coupled-channels study of fine structure in the {alpha} decay of well deformed nuclei
We formulate a theoretical model for the {alpha} decay of well-deformed even-even nuclei based on the coupled-channel Schroedinger equation. The {alpha}-decay half-lives and fine structures observed in {alpha} decay are well described by the five-channel microscopic calculations. Since the branching ratios to high-spin states are hard to understand in the traditional {alpha}-decay theories, this success could be important to interpret future observations of heavier nuclei. It is also found that the {alpha} transition to high-spin states is a powerful tool to probe the energy spectrum and deformation of daughter nuclei.

Theoretical study of nuclear charge densities with elastic electron scattering
The calculated cross sections for elastic Coulomb electron scattering from the phase-shift analysis method and the eikonal approximation are compared. It is shown that the phase-shift analysis method can reproduce the experimental data very well for both light and heavy nuclei. Then the phase-shift analysis is used to investigate elastic electron scattering along the O and S isotopic chains, where the charge densities are obtained from relativistic mean-field theory. Results show that the minima of the differential cross section shift inward and upward with the increase of the neutron number.

β-decay half-lives including first-forbidden contributions for neutron-rich Zn isotopes in the extended QRPA with neutron-proton pairing
The β decays of neutron-rich Zn isotopes are investigated within the extended quasiparticle random-phase approximation, where neutron-neutron, proton-proton, and neutron-proton pairing correlations are considered in the similar manner. The Bruckner G-matrix obtained with the charge-dependent Bonn nucleon-nucleon force is used for the residual particle-particle and particle-hole interactions in addition to the pairing interactions. Contributions from both allowed Gamow-Teller and first-forbidden transitions are considered, and β-decay half-lives together with β-delayed neutron emission probabilities are calculated. The calculated results are found to agree well with the available experimental data.

Search for strong gravity signatures in same-sign dimuon final states using the ATLAS detector at the LHC
A search for microscopic black holes has been performed in a same-sign dimuon final state using 1.3 fb(-1) of proton-proton collision data collected with the ATLAS detector at a centre of mass energy of 7 TeV at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The data are found to be consistent with the expectation from the Standard Model and the results are used to derive exclusion contours in the context of a low scale gravity model.

Combined inclusive diffractive cross sections measured with forward proton spectrometers in deep inelastic ep scattering at HERA
A combination of the inclusive diffractive cross section measurements made by the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations at HERA is presented. The analysis uses samples of diffractive deep inelastic ep scattering data at a centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=318~\mathrm{GeV}$ where leading protons are detected by dedicated spectrometers. Correlations of systematic uncertainties are taken into account, resulting in an improved precision of the cross section measurement which reaches 6 % for the most precise points. The combined data cover the range 2.5<Q2<200 GeV2 in photon virtuality, $0.00035 < \mbox{$x_{\mathbb{P}}$}< 0.09$ in proton fractional momentum loss, 0.09<|t|<0.55 GeV2 in squared four-momentum transfer at the proton vertex and 0.0018<β<0.816 in $\beta=x/\mbox{$x_{\mathbb{P}}$}$, where x is the Bjorken scaling variable.

Measurements of spin correlation in top-antitop quark events from proton-proton collisions at √s =7 TeV using the ATLAS detector
Measurements of spin correlation in top quark pair production are presented using data collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC with proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb(-1). Events are selected in final states with two charged leptons and at least two jets and in final states with one charged lepton and at least four jets. Four different observables sensitive to different properties of the top quark pair production mechanism are used to extract the correlation between the top and antitop quark spins. Some of these observables are measured for the first time. The measurements are in good agreement with the Standard Model prediction at next-to-leading-order accuracy.
