Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm for lattice QCD with two flavors of dynamical Ginsparg-Wilson quarks
Abstract We study aspects concerning numerical simulations of lattice QCD with two flavors of dynamical Ginsparg-Wilson quarks with degenerate masses. A hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm is described and a formula for the fermionic force is derived for two specific implementations. The implementation with the optimal rational approximation method is favored in both CPU time and memory consumption.

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.

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.

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 Degeneration formula of Gromov-Witten invariants with respect to a curve class for degenerations from blow-ups
In two very detailed, technical, and fundamental works, Jun Li constructed a theory of Gromov-Witten invariants for a singular scheme of the gluing form Y1 ∪D Y2 that arises from a degeneration W/A 1 and a theory of relative Gromov-Witten invariants for a codimension-1 relative pair (Y,D). As a summit, he derived a degeneration formula that relates a finite summation of the usual Gromov-Witten invariants of a general smooth fiber Wt of W/A 1 to the Gromov-Witten invariants of the singular fiber W0 = Y1 ∪D Y2 via gluing the relative pairs (Y1,D) and (Y2,D). The finite sum mentioned above depends on a relative ample line bundle H on W/A 1 . His theory has already applications to string theory and mathematics alike. For other new applications of Jun Li’s theory, one needs a refined degeneration formula that depends

Temperature-dependent neutron scattering cross-sections for polyethylene
Abstract This note presents neutron scattering cross-sections for polyethylene at 296, 77 and 4 K derived from a new scattering kernel for neutron scattering off of hydrogen in polyethylene. The kernel was developed in ENDF-6 format as a set of S ( α , β ) tables using the LEAPR module of the NJOY94 code package. The polyethylene density of states (from 0 to sub eV) adopted to derive the new kernel is presented. We compare our calculated room temperature total scattering cross-sections and double differential cross-sections at 232 meV at various angles with the available experimental data (at room temperature), and then extrapolate the calculations to lower temperatures (77 and 4 K). The new temperature-dependent scattering kernel gives a good quantitative fit to the available room temperature data and has a temperature dependence that is qualitatively consistent with thermodynamics.

EXCITED HEAVY BARYON MASSES FROM THE 1/Nc EXPANSION OF HQET
The mass spectra of the L=1 orbitally excited heavy baryons with light quarks in both the spin-flavor symmetric and the mixed representations are studied by the $1/N_c$ expansion method in the framework of the heavy quark effective theory. The mixing effect between the baryons in the two representations is also considered. The general pattern of the spectrum is predicted which will be verified by the experiments in the near future.

Storage of Ultracold Neutrons in the Magneto-Gravitational Trap of the UCN Experiment
The UCN experiment is designed to measure the lifetime n of the free neutron by trapping ultracold neutrons (UCN) in a magneto-gravitational trap. An asymmetric bowl-shaped NdFeB magnet Halbach array confines low-field-seeking UCN within the apparatus, and a set of electromagnetic coils in a toroidal geometry provides a background holding field to eliminate depolarization-induced UCN loss caused by magnetic field nodes. We present a measurement of the storage time store of the trap by storing UCN for various times and counting the survivors. The data are consistent with a single exponential decay, and we find store = 860 19 s, within 1 of current global averages for n. The storage time with the holding field deactivated is found to be store = 470 160 s; this decreased storage time is due to the loss of UCN, which undergo Majorana spin flips while being stored. We discuss plans to increase the statistical sensitivity of the measurement and investigate potential systematic effects.

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.
