Note on Chiral Symmetry Breaking from Intersecting Branes
In this paper, we will consider the chiral symmetry breaking in the holographic model constructed from the intersecting brane configuration, and investigate the Nambu-Goldstone bosons associated with this symmetry breaking.

Yang-Type Monopoles In 5 Dimensional Curved Space-Time
Motivated by Gibbons and Townsend's recent work, we construct Yang-Type monopoles in maximally symmetric space-time. We then analyze the dependence of horizon structure of the space-times around the 5-dimensional monopoles on the relative strength of gravitations to Yang-Mills interactions. We also analyze the stability of the monopoles against tensor type perturbations on metrics.

Accelerating BTZ spacetime
An exact solution of (2 + 1)-dimensional Einstein gravity with a cosmological constant is studied. The corresponding spacetime is interpreted as an accelerating BTZ spacetime. The proper acceleration, horizon structure, temperature and entropy are presented in detail. The metric being studied is very similar to the one studied by Astorino (2011 J. High Energy Phys. JHEP01(2011)114) but the range of parameters is different which results in significant changes in the causal structures.

Exact black hole formation in three dimensions
Abstract We consider three dimensional Einstein gravity non-minimally coupled to a real scalar field with a self-interacting scalar potential and present the exact black hole formation in three dimensions. Firstly we obtain an exact time-dependent spherically symmetric solution describing the gravitational collapse to a scalar black hole at the infinite time, i.e. in the static limit. The solution can only be asymptotically AdS because of the No–Go theorem in three dimensions which is resulting from the existence of a smooth black hole horizon. Then we analyze their geometric properties and properties of the time evolution. We also get the exact time-dependent solution in the minimal coupling model after taking a conformal transformation.

High Current SRF Cavity Design for SPL and eRHIC
A high current five-cell Nb superconducting cavity, called BNL3 cavity, was optimized and designed for the SPL and eRHIC. For the fundamental mode, the optimization process aimed at maximizing the R/Q of the fundamental mode and the geometry factor G under an acceptable RF field ratio level of B{sub peak}/E{sub acc} and E{sub peak}/E{sub acc}. For higher order modes, the optimization is to lower (R/Q)Q{sub ext} for dipole and quadrupole modes to suppress the beam-break-up (BBU). To extract the HOM power out of the cavity, the BNL3 cavity employs a larger beam pipe, allowing the propagation of HOMs, but not the fundamental mode. Six HOM couplers (three at each end) are used to extract large HOM power. To avoid the cross-talk between cavities, tapers are employed between the cavities. This paper presents the design of the BNL3 cavity, end groups and BBU simulation results.

Multipacting simulation and test results of BNL 704 MHz SRF gun
The BNL 704MHz SRF gun has a grooved choke joint to support the photo-cathode. Due to the distortion of grooves at the choke joint during the BCP for the choke joint, several multipacting barriers showed up when it was tested with Nb cathode stalk at JLab. We built a setup to use the spare large grain SRF cavity to test and condition the multipacting at BNL with various power sources up to 50kW. The test is carried out in three stages: testing the cavity performance without cathode, testing the cavity with the Nb cathode stalk that was used at Jlab, and testing the cavity with a copper cathode stalk that is based on the design for the SRF gun. This paper summarizes the results of multipacting simulation, and presents the large grain cavity test setup and the test results.

Landau meets Newton: time translation symmetry breaking in classical mechanics
AbstractEvery classical Newtonian mechanical system can be equipped with anonstandard Hamiltonian structure, in which the Hamiltonian is the squareof the canonical Hamiltonian up to a constant shift, and the Poisson bracketis nonlinear. In such a formalism, time translation symmetry can be spon-taneously broken, provided the potential function becomes negative. A niceanalogy between time translation symmetry breaking and the Landau the-ory of second order phase transitions is established, together with severalexample cases illustrating time translation breaking ground states. In par-ticular, the CDM model of FRW cosmology is reformulated as the timetranslation symmetry breaking ground states.Keywords: time translation symmetry breaking, Hamiltonian formalism,Landau theory of phase transition, CDM modelPACS: 1 Introduction Spontaneous symmetry breaking plays an essential role in many areas in moderntheoretical physics such as the gauge theory of particle physics and the Landau-Ginzberg theory of phase transitions in condensed matter physics. Spontaneouslybroken symmetries can either be internal symmetry (such as gauge and chiralsymmetries) or spacial symmetry (such as space translation and rotation symme-tries). Shapere and Wilczek recently discovered [1] that even the time translationsymmetry can be spontaneously broken in some singular Lagrangian systems. Ina previous work [2], we showed that the spontaneous breaking of time transla-tion symmetry can also be described in Hamiltonian formalism using some non-1
