Recent results from lattice QCD
Recent lattice QCD results are reviewed with an emphasis on spectroscopic results concerning the charm quark. It is demonstrated that, with accurate computations from lattice QCD in recent years that can be compared with the existing or upcoming experiments, stringent test of the Standard Model can be performed which will greatly sharpen our knowledge on the strong interaction.

Pure gauge glueballs at finite temperature
Pure gauge glueballs at finite temperature are investigated in a large temperature range from 0:3Tc to 1:9Tc on anisotropic lattices. Optimized glueball operators are used to obtain better signals. It is found in all 20 symmetry channels that the pole masses MG of glueballs remain almost constants when the temperature approaches the critical temperature Tc from below, and start to reduce gradually with the temperature going above Tc. The glueball correlators in 0 ++ , 0 i+ , and 2 ++ channels, are also analyzed based on the Breit-Wigner ansatz by assuming a thermal width Γ to the pole mass ω0. While ω0's are insensitive to T in the whole temperature range, Γ's exhibit distinct behavior below and above Tc: They are only few percents of ω0 when T Tc and reach values of roughly Γ » ω0=2 at T … 1:9Tc.

A heavy Higgs particle in the TeV mass range
Abstract The first simulation results are presented on Higgs mass calculations in the spontaneously broken phase of the Higgs sector in the minimal Standard Model with 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 and a nonperturbative reinterpretation of the triviality Higgs mass bound becomes necessary.

Mean-field calculations for the three-dimensional Holstein model
The electron-phonon Holstein model is studied in three spatial dimensions. It is argued that this model can be used to account for major features of the high-Tc BaPb1-xBixO3 and BaxK1-xBiO3 systems. Mean-field calculations are performed via a path integral representation of the model. Charge-density-wave order parameters and transition temperatures are obtained.

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.

Review of D Semi-leptonic Decays
Semi-leptonic D decays continue to play an important role in the field of flavor physics. During this presentation, recent measurements from pseudo-scalar to pseudo-scalar modes, pseudo-scalar to vector modes, and rare modes will be discussed. These results are important for many purposes, such as validating the machinery of lattice QCD, extracting CKM matrix elements, and searching for new physics and new interactions.

Beta decay measurements with ultracold neutrons: a review of recent measurements and the research program at Los Alamos National Laboratory
We present a review of the motivation and results of recent experiments which utilize ultracold neutrons for measurements of neutron beta decay. Because these experiments hinge critically on the available ultracold neutron source technology, we also review the status of ultracold neutron source development, emphasizing the Los Alamos ultracold neutron facility and the ongoing beta decay research program sited there.

Top-color-assisted supersymmetry
It is known that the supersymmetric flavor changing neutral current problem can be avoided if the squarks take the following mass pattern: namely, the first two generations with the same chirality are degenerate with masses around the weak scale, while the third generation is very heavy. We realize this scenario through the supersymmetric extension of a top-color model with gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking.

Collision of two general geodesic particles around a Kerr-Newman black hole
We study collision of two general geodesic particles around the Kerr-Newman (KN) black hole and get the center-of-mass (CM) energy of the non-marginally and marginally bound critical particles in the direct collision and LSO collision scenarios. We find the constraint conditions that arbitrarily high CM energy can be obtained for the near-horizon collision of two general geodesic particles in the extremal KN black hole, and note that the charge decreases the value of the latitude in which arbitrarily high CM energy can occurs. We also interpret why the high-velocity collision belt centers to the equator with the increase of the charge.

Dark matter and gauge coupling unification in a supersymmetry model with vector-like matter
A bstractWIMP dark matter and gauge coupling unification are considered in an R- parity violating MSSM with vector-like matter. Dark matter is contained in an additional vector-like SU(2)L doublet which possesses a new U(1) gauge symmetry. The Higgs fields are extended to be in a $ 5\oplus \overline{5} $ representation of SU(5). The stability of dark matter is a result of gauge symmetries, and the mass of the dark matter particle is between (1.1-1.5) TeV. Dark matter has a very small cross section with nucleis, thus the model is consistent with current dark matter direct detection experiments such as Xenon100. The model also predicts new charged and colored particles to be observed at LHC.
