Experimental Study of Long Coupled Helix Resonator
Experimental tests of a coupled normal temperature low a helix resonator with six-half-wavelength are described. The frequency shift and dynamic instability of the resonator are studied experimentally. The mechanical vibration caused by ponderomotive effect has been controlled. This resonator can run stably at a RF power of 50 KW , frequency of 27 MHz, duty factor of 1/6, and the maximum voltage gain is more than 1.1 MV. Some measures have been taken to increase the stability of the helix. The resonator tested is a model for heavy ion booster following a small van de graff accelerator.

Recent Beijing Spectroscopy (BES) results
AbstractRecent experimental results from Beijing Spectroscopy (BES) are reviewed, including the hadron spectroscopy from J/ψ decays, and a number of new states are found or confirmed, including σ, κ, X(1835), ωφ threshold enhancement in J/ψ→γωφ, a broad resonance in J/ψ→K+K−π0, decay studies of ψ(2S) and χCJ, as well as the results of ψ(3770) non-D$$

EM Calorimeter in BESIII Experiment
BESIII EM Calorimeter (EMC) is based on CsI crystals, working at upgraded Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC), called BEPCII. The overall BEPCII and BESIII design and current status are briefly described. The design and construction of EMC and its performance are presented. EMC works very well and its performances reach the design expectations, it plays an important roll in detector operation and in the BESIII trigger. There are some special features in the EMC construction and reconstruction: the crystals are assembled without support wall to reduce dead area; the time information of the EM clusters can help to suppress the machine background; the detector noise is smaller than similar detectors; the energy reconstruction with TOF signals helps to improve the energy resolution, especially for low energy showers. Several physics papers mainly based on EMC information have been published.

R2 corrections for 5D black holes and rings
We study higher-order corrections to two BPS solutions of 5D supergravity, namely the supersymmetric black ring and the spinning black hole. Due to our current relatively limited understanding of F-type terms in 5D supergravity, the nature of these corrections is less clear than that of their 4D cousins. Effects of certain R2 terms found in Calabi-Yau compactification of M-theory are specifically considered. For the case of the black ring, for which the microscopic origin of the entropy is generally known, the corresponding higher order macroscopic correction to the entropy is found to match a microscopic correction, while for the spinning black hole the corrections are partially matched to those of a 4D D0−D2−D6 black hole.

OBSERVATION OF A RIDGE CORRELATION STRUCTURE IN HIGH MULTIPLICITY PROTON–PROTON COLLISIONS: A BRIEF REVIEW
This paper briefly reviews the striking experimental observation of a ridge-like dihadron correlation structure in high multiplicity proton–proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Recent progress of both experimental and theoretical efforts on understanding the physical origin of the novel effect is reviewed. Outlook on future direction of possible new studies is discussed.

Observations of type ia supernovae, and challenges for cosmology
Observations of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) reveal correlations between their luminosities and light-curve shapes, and between their spectral sequence and photometric sequence. Assuming SNe Ia do not evolve at different redshifts, the Hubble diagram of SNe Ia may indicate an accelerating Universe, the signature of a cosmological constant or other forms of dark energy. Several studies raise concerns about the evolution of SNe Ia (e.g., the peculiarity rate, the rise time, and the color of SNe Ia at different redshifts), but all these studies suffer from the difficulties of obtaining high-quality spectroscopy and photometry for SNe Ia at high redshifts. There are also some troubling cases of SNe Ia that provide counterexamples to the observed correlations, suggesting that a secondary parameter is necessary to describe the whole SN Ia family. Understanding SNe Ia both observationally and theoretically will be the key to boosting confidence in the SN Ia cosmological results.

Lepton Flavor Violating $\tau$ Decays in Two Higgs Doublet Model III
We study the lepton flavor violating processes of $\tau^-\to\mu^-PP$ decays with $PP=K^+K^-,K^0\bar{K}^0,\pi^+\pi^-,\pi^0\pi^0$ in the framework of two Higgs doublet model III by virtue of the Chiral Perturbation Theory. In this model, only three neutral Higgs bosons contribute to these decays. With the current experimental constraints, we show that (a) the contributions of $|\lambda_{uu(dd)}|$ term are very small for these four decays; (b) we get the correlation between $|\lambda_{ss}|$ and $|\lambda_{\tau\mu}|$. For $|\lambda_{\tau\mu}| \sim 10-400$, one has $|\lambda_{ss}|\sim 40-1$; (c) in the existing model parameter space, $Br(\tau^- \to \mu^- K^+K^-)$ could reach the order of ${\cal O}(10^{-8})$, but $Br(\tau \to \mu^- \pi^+\pi^-/\pi^0\pi^0)$ are too small to be observed.

Holographic p-wave superconductors in quasi-topological gravity
We construct a holographic p-wave superconductor model in the framework of quasi-topological gravity in the probe limit. The relation between the critical temperature and the coupling parameters of higher curvature terms is investigated. The numerical results for conductivity are presented as well. It turns out that our data fit the Drude model very well in the low-frequency limit, and the values of dc conductivity as well as the relaxation time are obtained numerically.
