A Supersymmetric model with the gauge symmetry SU(3)(1) x SU(2)(1) x U(1)(1) x SU(3)(2) x SU(2)(2) x U(1)(2)
A supersymmetric model with two copies of the Standard Model gauge groups is constructed in the gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking scenario. The supersymmetry breaking messengers axe in a simple form. The Standard Model is obtained after first step gauge symmetry breaking. In the case of one copy of the gauge interactions being strong, a scenario of electroweak symmetry breaking is discussed, and the gauginos are generally predicted to be heavier than the sfermions.

Phenomenological aspects of R-parity violating supersymmetry with a vectorlike extra generation
Phenomenological analysis to the R-parity violating supersymmetry with a vectorlike extra generation is performed in detail. It is found that, via the trilinear couplings, the correct neutrino spectrum can be obtained. The Higgs mass rises to 125 GeV by new up-type Yukawa couplings of vectorlike quarks with no need of very heavy superpartners. Phenomena of new heavy fermions at LHC are predicted.

QCD sum rule analysis for the Lambda(b)->Lambda(c) semileptonic decay
Abstract The 1 m c and 1 m b corrections to the Λ b → Λ c semileptonic decay are analyzed by QCD sum rules. Within the framework of heavy quark effective theory, the subleading baryonic Isgur-Wise function of Λ b → Λ c has been calculated. It is shown that the corrections due to the 1 m Lagrangian insertion are negligibly small. The sizable 1 m Q effect to the decay lies only in the weak current. The decay spectrum and the branching ratio are given.

LHCb $\bigtriangleup A_{CP}$ of $D$ Meson and R-Parity Violation
LHCb collaboration has recently announced a measurement of the difference of time-integrated CP asymmetries between $D\rightarrow K^+K^-$ and $D \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-$. This result provides the evidence of large direct CP violation in $D$ meson and reveals some important implications on underlying new physics. It is shown that the direct CP violation in $D$ meson can be enhanced by R-parity violating supersymmetry, while CP violations in $K$ and $B$ mesons are suppressed by this new physics, which is in consistence with previous experiments. Constraints on the model parameters and some consequences are also discussed.

Supersymmetry for Fermion Masses
It is proposed that supersymmetry (SUSY) maybe used to understand fermion mass hierarchies. A family symmetry Z_{3L} is introduced, which is the cyclic symmetry among the three generation SU(2) doublets. SUSY breaks at a high energy scale ~ 10^{11} GeV. The electroweak energy scale ~ 100 GeV is unnaturally small. No additional global symmetry, like the R-parity, is imposed. The Yukawa couplings and R-parity violating couplings all take their natural values which are about (10^0-10^{-2}). Under the family symmetry, only the third generation charged fermions get their masses. This family symmetry is broken in the soft SUSY breaking terms which result in a hierarchical pattern of the fermion masses. It turns out that for the charged leptons, the tau mass is from the Higgs vacuum expectation value (VEV) and the sneutrino VEVs, the muon mass is due to the sneutrino VEVs, and the electron gains its mass due to both Z_{3L} and SUSY breaking. The large neutrino mixing are produced with neutralinos playing the partial role of right-handed neutrinos. |V_{e3}| which is for nu_e-nu_{tau} mixing is expected to be about 0.1. For the quarks, the third generation masses are from the Higgs VEVs, the second generation masses are from quantum corrections, and the down quark mass due to the sneutrino VEVs. It explains m_c/m_s, m_s/m_e, m_d>m_u and so on. Other aspects of the model are discussed.

TUNING THE TADPOLE IMPROVED CLOVER WILSON ACTION ON COARSE ANISOTROPIC LATTICES
Wilson quark action, with tadpole improved clover term added, is studied on coarse anisotropic lattices. The bare velocity of light parameter in this action is determined nonperturbatively using the pseudo-scalar and vector meson dispersion relations for various values of the gauge coupling β and bare quark mass parameter κ.

Ultra-cold Neutron Production in Anti-ferromagnetic Oxygen Solid
Spin waves, or magnons, in the anti-ferromagnetic $\alpha$ phase of solid oxygen provide a novel mechanism for ultra-cold neutron (UCN) production. Magnons dominate the energy exchange mechanisms for cold neutrons and UCN in solid $\alpha$-oxygen, much in the same way as do phonons in solid deuterium superthermal UCN sources. We present calculations of UCN production and upscattering rates in S-O$_2$. The results indicate that S-O$_2$ is potentially a much more efficient UCN source material than solid deuterium.

Measurements of ultracold-neutron lifetimes in solid deuterium.
We present the first measurements of the survival time of ultracold neutrons (UCNs) in solid deuterium (SD2). This critical parameter provides a fundamental limitation to the effectiveness of superthermal UCN sources that utilize solid ortho-deuterium as the source material. These measurements are performed utilizing a SD2 source coupled to a spallation source of neutrons, providing a demonstration of UCN production in this geometry and permitting systematic studies of the influence of thermal up-scatter and contamination with para-deuterium on the UCN survival time.

Strongly interacting Higgs sector without technicolor
Simulation results are presented on Higgs mass calculations in the spontaneously broken phase of the Higgs sector in the minimal Standard Model with a higher derivative regulator. A heavy Higgs particle is found in the TeV mass range in the presence of a complex conjugate ghost pair at higher energies. The ghost pair evades easy experimental detection. As a finite and unitary theory in the continuum, this model serves as an explicit and simple example of a strongly interacting Higgs sector without technicolor.

Lattice study of radiative J/ψ decay to a tensor glueball.
The radiative decay of J/ψ into a pure gauge tensor glueball is studied in the quenched lattice QCD formalism. With two anisotropic lattices, the multipole amplitudes E1(0), M2(0), and E3(0) are obtained to be 0.114(12)(6) GeV, -0.011(5)(1)  GeV, and 0.023(8)(1) GeV, respectively. The first error comes from the statistics, the Q2 interpolation, and the continuum extrapolation, while the second is due to the uncertainty of the scale parameter r0(-1)=410(20)  MeV. Thus, the partial decay width Γ(J/ψ→γG(2++)) is estimated to be 1.01(22)(10) keV, which corresponds to a large branch ratio 1.1(2)(1)×10(-2). The phenomenological implication of this result is also discussed.
