ACCELERATING UNIVERSE IN A BIG BOUNCE MODEL
Recent observations of Type Ia supernovae provide evidence for the acceleration of our universe, which leads to the possibility that the universe is entering an inflationary epoch. We simulate it under a "big bounce" model, which contains a time variable cosmological "constant" that is derived from a higher dimension and manifests itself in 4D spacetime as dark energy. By properly choosing the two arbitrary functions contained in the model, we obtain a simple exact solution in which the evolution of the universe is divided into several stages. Before the big bounce, the universe contracts from a Λ-dominated vacuum, and after the bounce, the universe expands. In the early time after the bounce, the expansion of the universe is decelerating. In the late time after the bounce, dark energy (i.e. the variable cosmological "constant") overtakes dark matter and baryons, and the expansion enters an accelerating stage. When time tends to infinity, the contribution of dark energy tends to two thirds of the total en...

Reconstruction of Five-Dimensional Bounce Cosmological Models from Deceleration Factor
In this paper, we consider a class of five-dimensional Ricci-flat vacuum solutions, which contain two arbitrary functions μ(t) and ν(t). It is shown that μ(t) can be rewritten as a new arbitrary function f(z) in terms of redshift z and the f(z) can be determined by choosing particular deceleration parameters q(z) which gives early deceleration and late time acceleration. In this way, the 5D cosmological model can be reconstructed and the evolution of the universe can be determined.

Correspondence Between DGP Brane Cosmology and $5D$ Ricci-flat Cosmology
We discuss the correspondence between the DGP brane cosmology and 5D Ricci-flat cosmology by letting their metrics equal each other. By this correspondence, a specific geometrical property of the arbitrary integral constant I in DGP metric is given and it is related to the curvature of 5D bulk. At the same time, the relation of arbitrary functions μ and ν in a class of Ricci-flat solutions is obtained from DGP brane metric.

The Numerical Solution of Scalar Field for Nariai Case in 5D Ricci-flat SdS Black String Space with Polynomial Approximation
As one exact candidate of the higher dimensional black hole, the 5D Ricci-flat Schwarzschild-de Sitter black string space presents something interesting. In this paper, we give a numerical solution to the real scalar field around the Nariai black hole by the polynomial approximation. Unlike the previous tangent approximation, this fitting function makes a perfect match in the leading intermediate region and gives a good description near both the event and the cosmological horizons. We can read from our results that the wave is close to a harmonic one with the tortoise coordinate. Furthermore, with the actual radial coordinate the waves pile up almost equally near the both horizons.

PARTICLE MASSES IN KALUZA–KLEIN–GORDON THEORY AND THE REALITY OF EXTRA DIMENSIONS
To see how the effective 4-D mass of a particle is affected by the geometry of an ND space, we take the Klein–Gordon equation in 5-D and evaluate it in 4-D using two exact solutions of 5-D Kaluza–Klein theory. The mass (squared) turns out to be complex if the theory is independent of the extra coordinate, but can be made real if the wave function depends on an extra dimension which is physical. These results have significant implications for 10-D superstring theory.

Brane Formation and Cosmological Constraint on the Number of Extra Dimensions
Special relativity is generalized to extra dimensions and quantized energy levels of particles are obtained. By calculating the probability of particles' motion in extra dimensions at high temperature of the early universe, it is proposed that the branes may have not existed since the very beginning of the universe, but formed later. Meanwhile, before the formation, particles of the universe may have filled in the whole bulk, not just on the branes. This scenario differs from that in the standard big bang cosmology in which all particles are assumed to be in the 4D spacetime. So, in brane models, whether our universe began from a 4D big bang singularity is questionable. A cosmological constraint on the number of extra dimensions is also given which favors N ≥ 7.

Experience of BESIII data production with local cluster and distributed computing model
The BES III detector is a new spectrometer which works on the upgraded high-luminosity collider, BEPCII. The BES III experiment studies physics in the tau-charm energy region from 2 GeV to 4.6 GeV . From 2009 to 2011, BEPCII has produced 106M ψ(2S) events, 225M J/ψ events, 2.8 fb−1 ψ(3770) data, and 500 pb−1 data at 4.01 GeV. All the data samples were processed successfully and many important physics results have been achieved based on these samples. Doing data production correctly and efficiently with limited CPU and storage resources is a big challenge. This paper will describe the implementation of the experiment-specific data production for BESIII in detail, including data calibration with event-level parallel computing model, data reconstruction, inclusive Monte Carlo generation, random trigger background mixing and multi-stream data skimming. Now, with the data sample increasing rapidly, there is a growing demand to move from solely using a local cluster to a more distributed computing model. A distributed computing environment is being set up and expected to go into production use in 2012. The experience of BESIII data production, both with a local cluster and with a distributed computing model, is presented here.

Open String Star as a Continuous Moyal Product
We establish that the open string star product in the zero momentum sector can be described as a continuous tensor product of mutually commuting two dimensional Moyal star products. Let the continuous variable κ [0, ∞) parametrize the eigenvalues of the Neumann matrices; then the noncommutativity parameter is given by θ(κ) = 2tanh (πκ/4). For each κ, the Moyal coordinates are a linear combination of even position modes, and the Fourier transform of a linear combination of odd position modes. The commuting coordinate at κ = 0 is identified as the momentum carried by half the string. We discuss the relation to Bars' work, and attempt to write the string field action as a noncommutative field theory.

f(R) gravities, Killing spinor equations, “BPS” domain walls and cosmology
A bstractWe derive the condition on f(R) gravities that admit Killing spinor equations and construct explicit such examples. The Killing spinor equations can be used to reduce the fourth-order differential equations of motion to the first order for both the domain wall and FLRW cosmological solutions. We obtain exact “BPS” domain walls that describe the smooth Randall-Sundrum II, AdS wormholes and the RG flow from IR to UV. We also obtain exact smooth cosmological solutions that describe the evolution from an inflationary starting point with a larger cosmological constant to an ever-expanding universe with a smaller cosmological constant. In addition, We find exact smooth solutions of pre-big bang models, bouncing or crunching universes. An important feature is that the scalar curvature R of all these metrics is varying rather than a constant. Another intriguing feature is that there are two different f(R) gravities that give rise to the same “BPS” solution. We also study linearized f(R) gravities in (A)dS vacua.

Evidence of s-channel Single Top Quark Production in Events with one Charged Lepton and Bottom Quark Jets at CDF
We report an evidence of \textit{s}-channel single top quark production in $p\bar{p}$ collision at $\sqrt{s}= 1.96 \mathrm{TeV}$ using data with integrated luminosity of $9.4 \mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF). We select events with one charged lepton, large missing transverse energy and two bottom quark jets. The observed significance of the result is 3.8 standard deviation from background only prediction. We measure the inclusive cross section to be $1.41^{+0.44}_{-0.42}\mathrm{(stat+syst)} \mathrm{pb}$ assuming $m_t = 172.5 \mathrm{GeV}/c^2$.
