Simulation Study on neutrino nucleus cross section measurement in Segmented Detector at Spallation Neutron Source
Knowledge of νe-Fe/Pb differential cross sections for νe energy below several tens of MeV scale is believed to be crucial in understanding Supernova physics. In a segmented detector at Spallation Neutrino Source, νe energy reconstructed from the electron range measurement is strongly affected because of both multiple scattering and electromagnetic showers occurring along the electron passage in target materials. In order to estimate the effect, a simulation study has been performed with a cube block model assuming a perfect tracking precision. The distortion of energy spectrum is observed to be proportional to the atomic number of target material. Feasibility of unfolding the distorted νe energy spectrum is studied for both Fe and Pb cases. Evaluation of statistical accuracy attainable is therefore provided for a segmented detector.

Study of beauty hadron decays into pairs of charm hadrons
First observations of the decays Λb 0 → Λc +D(s) - are reported using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3fb-1 collected at 7 and 8 TeV center-of-mass energies in proton-proton collisions with the LHCb detector. In addition, the most precise measurement of the branching fraction B(Bs 0→D+Ds -) is made and a search is performed for the decays B(s) 0→Λc +Λc -. The results obtained are B(Λb 0→Λc +D-)/ B(Λb 0→Λc +D s -)=0.042±0.003(stat)±0.003(syst), [B(Λb 0→Λc +D s -)/B(B0→D+D s -)]/[B(Λb 0→Λ c +π-)/B(B0→D +π-)]=0.96±0.02(stat)±0.06(syst),B(B s 0→D+Ds -)/ B(B0→D+Ds -)=0. 038±0.004(stat)±0.003(syst),B(B0→Λ c +Λc -)/B(B 0→D+Ds -)<0.0022[95%C.L.], B(Bs 0→Λc +Λ c -)/B(Bs 0→D+D s -)<0.30[95%C.L.]. Measurement of the mass of the Λb 0 baryon relative to the B0 meson gives M(Λb 0)-M(B0)=339. 72±0.24(stat)±0.18(syst)MeV/c2. This result provides the most precise measurement of the mass of the Λb 0 baryon to date.

SPIN INTERACTION EFFECTS ON MOMENTUM CORRELATIONS FOR IDENTICAL FERMIONS EMITTED IN RELATIVISTIC HEAVY-ION COLLISIONS
The Hanbury-Brown and Twiss (HBT) effects predict a Bose–Einstein enhancement of the two-particle momentum correlations of identical bosons at small relative momentum. However, the parallel momentum correlations between identical fermions are less argued. The momentum correlations can be altered by many factors, among which the spin interaction effects are discussed in this paper. It is found that the spin interaction plays an important role on the momentum correlations of identical fermions. For spin triplet state, a full Fermi–Dirac suppression represents as expected. On the contrary, a fake Bose–Einstein enhancement shows up for spin singlet state. The measured momentum correlations of fermions could hence provide some hints of spin interactions between them if all other factors such as Coulomb interactions were removed. Spin interactions make it more complicated to extract physical information from momentum correlations between fermions.

Evidence for the decay $X(3872)\rightarrow\psi(2S)\gamma$
Evidence for the decay mode $X(3872)\rightarrow\psi(2S)\gamma$ in $B^+\rightarrow X(3872)K^+$ decays is found with a significance of 4.4 standard deviations. The analysis is based on a data sample of proton-proton collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3fb$^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb detector, at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8TeV. The ratio of the branching fraction of the $X(3872)\to\psi(2S)\gamma$ decay to that of the $X(3872)\rightarrow J/\psi \gamma$ decay is measured to be $$ \frac{Br(X(3872)\rightarrow\psi(2S)\gamma)}{Br(X(3872)\rightarrow J/\psi\gamma)} = 2.46\pm0.64\pm0.29, %\pm0.06,$$ where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The measured value agrees with expectations for a pure charmonium interpretation of the $X(3872)$ state and a mixture of charmonium and molecular interpretations. However, it does not support a pure $D\bar{D}^{*}$ molecular interpretation of the $X(3872)$state.

Thermal and nonthermal pion enhancements with chiral symmetry restoration
The pion production by sigma decay and its relation with chiral symmetry restoration in a hot and dense matter are investigated in the framework of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. The decay rate for the process sigma -> 2pion to the lowest order in a 1/N_c expansion is calculated as a function of temperature T and chemical potential mu. The thermal and nonthermal enhancements of pions generated by the decay before and after the freeze-out present only in the crossover region of the chiral symmetry transition. The strongest nonthermal enhancement is located in the vicinity of the endpoint of the first-order transition.

A GKO Construction Based on a Path Integral Formulation of Gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten Actions
Abstract A path integral formulation of G/H conformal theories is presented, based on gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten actions. The conformal charge of the model is c = c G − c H , exactly as in the GKO construction. Ghost modes appear in the formalism as a result of gauge fixing. As a consequence, the holomorphic stress-tensor T ( z ) obtained in our construction has ghost contributions. We find T ( z )= T G − T H only for matrix elements of physical states which are also ghost free.

A Possible Black Hole Background in c=1 Matrix Model
We propose a new space-time interpretation for c=1 matrix model with potential $V(x)=-x^{2}/2-\m^{2}/2x^{2}$. It is argued that this particular potential corresponds to a black hole background. Some related issues are discussed.

Magnetic Fields and Passive Scalars in Polyakov's Conformal Turbulence
Polyakov has suggested that two-dimensional turbulence might be described by a minimal model of conformal field theory. However, there are many minimal models satisfying the same physical inputs as Polyakov's solution (2, 21). Dynamical magnetic fields and passive scalars pose different physical requirements. For large magnetic Reynolds number other minimal models arise. The simplest one, (2, 13), makes reasonable predictions that may be tested in the astrophysical context. In particular, the equipartition theorem between magnetic and kinetic energies does not hold: the magnetic one dominates at larger distances.

THE EFFECTIVE LAGRANGIAN OF THREE DIMENSIONAL QUANTUM CHROMODYNAMICS
We consider the low energy limit of three dimensional quantum chromodynamics (QCD) with an even number of flavors. We show that parity is not spontaneously broken, but the global (flavor) symmetry is spontaneously broken. The low energy effective Lagrangian is a nonlinear sigma model on the Grassmannian. Some Chern-Simons terms are necessary in the Lagrangian to realize the discrete symmetries correctly. We consider also another parametrization of the low energy sector which leads to a three dimensional analogue of the Wess-Zumino-Witten-Novikov model. Since three dimensional QCD is believed to be a model for quantum antiferromagnetism, our effective Lagrangian can describe their long wavelength excitations (spin waves).

Three dimensional quantum chromodynamics
The subject of this talk is the study of the low energy behavior of three (2+1) dimensional Quantum Chromodynamics. We show the existence of a phase where parity is unbroken and the flavor group U(2n) is broken into a subgroup U(n)×U(n). We derive the low energy effective action for the theory and show that it has solitonic excitations with Fermi statistic, to be identified with the three dimensional ‘‘baryon’’. Finally, we study the current algebra for this effective action and we find a co‐homologically nontrivial generalization of Kac‐Moody algebras to three dimension.
