Three dimensional rotating hairy black holes, asymptotics and thermodynamics
A rotating hairy black hole solution is found in gravity minimally coupled to a self-interacting real scalar field in three spacetime dimensions. Then we discuss analytically the horizon structure and find an analogue of the famous Kerr bound in (2+1) dimensions because of the existence of black hole horizons. We present the asymptotic symmetries and find the same symmetry group (i.e. the conformal group) and central charge as in pure gravity. Based on the asymptotic behavior, the mass and angular momentum are presented by the Regge-Teitelboim approach. Other thermodynamic quantities are also obtained and the first law of black hole thermodynamics and Smarr relation are checked. In addition, we also investigate the local thermodynamic stability and find the existence of Hawking-Page phase transition in the rotating hairy black hole.

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.

Thermodynamics of rotating black holes with scalar hair in three dimensions
Introducing a new form of scalar potential $V(\ensuremath{\phi})$, we derive a proper form of the rotating black hole solution in three-dimensional Einstein gravity with nonminimally coupled scalar field and find that the first law of thermodynamics of this new rotating hairy black hole can be protected, where the scalar field parameter $B$ is constrained to relate to the black hole size. We also disclose the Hawking\char21{}Page phase transition between this rotating hairy black holes and the pure thermal radiation. Moreover, we study phase transitions between this rotating hairy black hole and rotating Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli (BTZ) black hole. Considering the matchings for the temperature and angular momentum, we find that the rotating BTZ black hole always has smaller free energy, which is a thermodynamically more preferred phase. Additionally, we evaluate the thermodynamics of the rotating black hole with minimally coupled scalar hair in three dimensions, which exhibits that the thermodynamical behaviors of this rotating hairy black hole are very similar to those of the rotating black hole with nonminimally coupled scalar hair.

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.

Novel rotating hairy black hole in (2+1)-dimensions
We present some novel rotating hairy black hole metric in (2 + 1) dimensions, which is an exact solution to the field equations of the Einstein-scalar-AdS theory with a non-minimal coupling. The scalar potential is determined by the metric ansatz and consistency of the field equations and cannot be prescribed arbitrarily. In the simplified, critical case, the scalar potential contains two independent constant parameters, which are respectively related to the mass and angular momentum of the black hole in a particular way. As long as the angular momentum does not vanish, the metric can have zero, one or two horizons. The case with no horizon is physically uninteresting because of the curvature singularity lying at the origin. We identify the necessary conditions for at least one horizon to be present in the solution, which imposes some bound on the mass-angular momentum ratio. For some particular choice of parameters our solution degenerates into some previously known black hole solutions.

FIVE-DIMENSIONAL VACUUM EINSTEIN SPACETIMES IN C-METRIC LIKE COORDINATES
A five-dimensional Einstein spacetime with (non)vanishing cosmological constant is analyzed in detail. The metric is in close analogy with the four-dimensional massless uncharged C-metric in many aspects. The coordinate system, horizons and causal structures, relations to standard form of de Sitter, anti de Sitter and Minkowski vacua are investigated. After a boost and Kaluza–Klein reduction, we get an exact solution of four-dimensional Einstein–Maxwell–Liouville theory which reduces to a solution to Einstein–Liouville theory in the limit of zero boost velocity and to that of Einstein–Maxwell–dilaton theory in the case of zero cosmological constant.

NGN, QCD 2 and chiral phase transition from string theory
We construct a D2-D8-8 configuration in string theory, it can be described at low energy by two dimensional field theory. In the weak coupling region, the low energy theory is a nonlocal generalization of Gross-Neveu(GN) model which dynamically breaks the chiral flavor symmetry U(Nf)L × U(Nf)R at large Nc and finite Nf. However, in the strong coupling region, we can use the SUGRA/Born-Infeld approximation to describe the low energy dynamics of the system. Also, we analyze the low energy dynamics about the configuration of wrapping the one direction of D2 brane on a circle with anti-periodic boundary condition of fermions. The fermions and scalars on D2 branes get mass and decouple from the low energy theory. The IR dynamics is described by the QCD2 at weak coupling. In the opposite region, the dynamics has a holographic dual description. And we have discussed the phase transition of chiral symmetry breaking at finite temperature. Finally, after performing T-duality, this configuration is related to some other brane configurations.

System-size dependence of transverse momentum correlations at √s NN=62.4 and 200 GeV at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider
We present a study of the average transverse momentum ($p_t$) fluctuations and $p_t$ correlations for charged particles produced in Cu+Cu collisions at midrapidity for $\sqrt{s_{NN}} =$ 62.4 and 200 GeV. These results are compared with those published for Au+Au collisions at the same energies, to explore the system size dependence. In addition to the collision energy and system size dependence, the $p_t$ correlation results have been studied as functions of the collision centralities, the ranges in $p_t$, the pseudorapidity $\eta$, and the azimuthal angle $\phi$. The square root of the measured $p_t$ correlations when scaled by mean $p_t$ is found to be independent of both colliding beam energy and system size studied. Transport-based model calculations are found to have a better quantitative agreement with the measurements compared to models which incorporate only jetlike correlations.

Holographic model with a NS-NS field
We consider a holographic model constructed through using the D4/D8-$\overline{\rm D8}$ brane configuration with a background field. We study some properties of the effective field theory in this intersecting brane construction, and calculate the effects of this NS-NS background field on some underlying dynamics. We also discuss some other general brane configurations.

Three-particle coincidence of the long range pseudorapidity correlation in high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions.
We report the first three-particle coincidence measurement in pseudorapidity (Δη) between a high transverse momentum (p⊥) trigger particle and two lower p⊥ associated particles within azimuth |Δϕ|<0.7 in square root of s(NN)=200 GeV d+Au and Au+Au collisions. Charge ordering properties are exploited to separate the jetlike component and the ridge (long range Δη correlation). The results indicate that the correlation of ridge particles are uniform not only with respect to the trigger particle but also between themselves event by event in our measured Δη. In addition, the production of the ridge appears to be uncorrelated to the presence of the narrow jetlike component.

NEW HOM COUPLER DESIGN FOR HIGH CURRENT SRF CAVITY
Damping higher order modes (HOMs) significantly to avoid beam instability is a challenge for the high current Energy Recovery Linac-based eRHIC at BNL. To avoid the overheating effect and high tuning sensitivity, current, a new band-stop HOM coupler is being designed at BNL. The new HOM coupler has a bandwidth of tens of MHz to reject the fundamental mode, which will avoid overheating due to fundamental frequency shifting because of cooling down. In addition, the S21 parameter of the band-pass filter is nearly flat from first higher order mode to 5 times the fundamental frequency. The simulation results showed that the new couplers effectively damp HOMs for the eRHIC cavity with enlarged beam tube diameter and 2 120{sup o} HOM couplers at each side of cavity. This paper presents the design of HOM coupler, HOM damping capacity for eRHIC cavity and prototype test results.
