Unified Hamiltonian model for mesons and baryons
A new Hamiltonian model is introduced to study the spectrum of light hadrons. It combines relativistic field theory with elements of the constituent quark model. In addition to the standard linear confining and pseudoscalar meson exchange interactions with predetermined parameters, an additional interaction with different covariant spin structures is examined. Using a large scale Monte Carlo variational procedure, the resulting model Hamiltonian provides a very good, unified description of the light quark baryon (both octet and decuplet) and meson spectra.

Static three-body potential in baryons
The first principle of quantum chromodynamics is used to calculate the static perturbative three-body potential between three valence quarks in baryons, which is gauge invariant and flavor-dependent, and of magnitude of the same order as the next non-leading static q-q potential. Its effect on an S-state baryon composed of three valence quarks of equal mass may be viewed as a slight increase of the constituent quark masses with respect to those in mesons.

Strange hadronic matter in a chiral model
The strange hadronic matter with nucleon, Λ-hyperon and Ξ-hyperon is studied by using a chiral symmetry model in a mean-field approximation. The saturation properties and stabilities of the strange hadronic matter are discussed. The result indicates a quite large strangeness fraction (fS) region where the strange hadronic matter is stable against particle emission. In the large fS region, the Ξ component dominates, resulting in a deep minimum in the curve of the binding energy per baryon EB versus the strangeness fraction fS with (EB, fS) (-26.0 MeV, 1.23).

Chiral symmetry restoration of nuclear matter
The phase transition of chiral symmetry restoration of nuclear matter is studied in the chiral SU(3) quark mean field model. For some kinds of confining potentials, there exists a critical density ρc. When the baryon density is larger than ρc, nuclear matter will be in the phase of chiral symmetry restoration. At critical density, the physical quantities change discontinuously. The critical density will become larger when the vector part of the confining potential increases.

Nucleon magnetic form factors with non-local chiral effective Lagrangian
Chiral perturbation theory is a useful method to investigate the hadron properties. We apply the non-local chiral effective Lagrangian to study the nucleon magnetic form factors. The octet and decuplet intermediate states are included in the one-loop calculation. With the modified propagators and non-local interaction, the loop integral is convergent. The obtained proton and neutron magnetic form factors are both reasonable up to relatively large Q2.

An Extended Chiral SU(3) Quark Model
The chiral SU(3) quark model is extended by including the vector meson exchanges to describe the short range interactions. The phase shifts of NN scattering are studied in this model. Compared with the results of the chiral SU(3) quark model in which only the pseudo-scalar and scalar chiral fields are considered, the phase shifts of 1S0 wave are obviously improved.

Measurement of branching fractions and charge asymmetries for exclusive B decays to charmonium.
We report measurements of branching fractions and charge asymmetries of exclusive decays of neutral and charged B mesons into two-body final states containing a charmonium state and a light strange meson. The charmonium mesons considered are J/psi, psi(2S) and chi(c1), and the light meson is either K or K(*). We use a sample of about 124x10(6) BB pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage ring at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center.

Inflation in de Sitter spacetime and CMB large scale anomaly
The influence of cosmological constant-type dark energy in the early universe is investigated. This is accommodated by a new dispersion relation in de Sitter spacetime. We perform a global fit to explore the cosmological parameter space by using the CosmoMC package with the recently released Planck TT and WMAP polarization datasets. Using the results from the global fit, we compute a new CMB temperature temperature (TT) spectrum. The obtained TT spectrum has lower power compared with that based on the ACDM model at large scales.

Bremsstrahlung mechanism of heavy vector meson production
Vector mesons as {phi}, {omega}, and J/{Psi} with J{sup PC}=1{sup --} are produced at colliding electron-positron high energy beams through the annihilation and the scattering channels. We consider here the scattering mechanism, namely, the creation of a vector meson in the fragmentation region of one of the initial leptons. It corresponds to the kinematics where the vector meson is emitted close to the direction of one of the colliding leptons, while the direction of the other lepton remains close to the initial one. The annihilation channel contribution is enhanced by the initial hard photon emission mechanism. It occurs in the kinematical region where the final particles are emitted at large angles and plays the role of background. Differential distributions of the energy fraction and of the transverse component of the vector meson are calculated. The relevant formalism and the numerical estimations are presented.

First Measurement of phi_3 with a Model-independent Dalitz Plot Analysis of B->DK, D->KsPiPi Decay
We present the first measurement of the angle phi(3) of the unitarity triangle using a model-independent Dalitz plot analysis of B-+/- -> DK +/-, D -> K-S(0)pi(+)pi(-) ecays. The method uses, as input, measurements of the strong phase of the D -> K-S(0)pi(+)pi(-) amplitude from the CLEO Collaboration. The result is based on the full data set of 772 x 10(6) B (B) over bar pairs collected by the Belle experiment at the Gamma(4S) resonance. We obtain phi(3) = (77.3(-14.9)(+15.1) +/- 4.1 +/- 4.3)degrees and the suppressed amplitude ratio r(B) = 0.145 +/- 0.030 +/- 0.010 +/- 0.011. Here the first error is statistical, the second is the experimental systematic uncertainty, and the third is the error due to the precision of the strong-phase parameters obtained by CLEO.
