One-side forward-backward asymmetry at the LHC
Forward-backward asymmetry AFB is an essential observable to study the nature of coupling in the standard model and physics beyond the standard model, as shown at LEP and Tevatron. As a proton-proton collider, the LHC does not have the preferred direction contrary to her counterpart, namely, LEP and Tevatron. Therefore AFB is not applicable at the LHC. However for the proton the momentum of valence quark is usually larger than that of the sea quark. Utilizing this feature we have defined a so-called one-side forward-backward asymmetry AOFB for the top quark pair production at LHC in the previous work. In this paper we extend our studies to the charged leptons and bottom quarks as the final states. Our numerical results show that at the LHC AOFB can be utilized to study the nature of the couplings once enough events are collected.

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.

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).

A MONITORING SYSTEM FOR CSR POWER SUPPLY
This article elaborated the monitoring system which has applied in the CSR power supply. This system is composed of the hardware and the software. The hardware is composed of PS6040-PXI-18 PXI engine case +PXI-3800 the master controller +PXI-6133 the ADC card. The software uses NI Corporation's LABVIEW to carry on the data demonstration and the analysis. This monitoring system in the CSR debugging, in the acceptance and the running has played the influential role. At the same time, it provided the data for the physical person. This monitoring system has run four years in the CSR. OVERVIEW CSR, a new ion Cooler-Storage-Ring (CSR) project, is the post-acceleration system of the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL). Figure 1 show an Overall Layout of HIRFL-CSR. CSR is a multi-purpose CSR system that consists of a main ring (CSRm), an experimental ring (CSRe), and a radioactive beam line (RIBLL II) to connect the two rings. The two existing cyclotrons SFC (K = 69) and SSC (K = 450) of the HIRFL will be used as its injector system. The heavy ion beams with the energy range of 8–30 MeV/u from the HIRFL will be accumulated, cooled and accelerated to the high-energy range of 100–400 MeV/u in the main ring, and then extracted fast to produce RIB or highly charged heavy ions. The secondary beams (RIB or highly charged heavy ions) will be accepted and stored by the experimental ring for many internal-target experiments or high-precision spectroscopy with beam cooling. On the other hand, the beams with the energy range of 100–900 MeV/u will also be extracted from CSRm by using slow extraction or fast extraction for many external-target experiments.

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.

Hadron collider signatures for new interactions of top and bottom quarks
One of the main goals for hadron colliders is the study of the properties of the third generation quarks. We study the signatures for new TeV resonances that couple to top or bottom quarks both at the Tevatron Run II and at the CERN LHC. We find that in the simplest production processes of Drell-Yan type at the Tevatron, the signals are overwhelmed by QCD backgrounds. We also find that it is possible to study these resonances when they are produced in association with a pair of heavy quarks or in association with a single top at the LHC. In particular, with an integrated luminosity of 300 fb(-1) at the LHC, it is possible to probe resonance masses up to around 2 TeV.

Search for Neutral Charmless B-Decays at Lep
Abstract A search for rare charmless decays of B d 0 and B s 0 mesons has been performed in the exclusive channels B d(s) 0 → ηη , B d(s) 0 → ηπ 0 and B d(s) 0 → π 0 π 0 . The data sample consisted of three million hadronic Z decays collected by the L3 experiment at LEP from 1991 through 1994. No candidate event has been observed and the following upper limits at 90% confidence level on the branching ratios have been set: Br ( B () d → ηη ) x 10 −4 , Br ( B () s → ηη ) x 10 −3 , Br ( B () d → ηφ () ) x 10 −4 , Br ( B () s → ηphi ; () ) x 10 −3 , Br ( B () d → phi ; () phi ; () ) x 10 −5 , Br ( B () s → phi ; () phi ; () ) x 10 −4 . These are the first experimental limits on B d 0 →ηη and on the B s 0 neutral charmless modes.
