Threshold pion photoproduction of nucleons in the chiral quark model.
In this paper, we show that the low energy theorem (LET) of threshold pion photoproduction can be fully recovered in the quark model. An essential result of this investigation is that the quark-pion operators are obtained from the effective chiral Lagrangian, and the low energy theorem does not require constraints on the internal structures of the nucleon. Changing from pseudovector to pseudoscalar quark-pion couplings generates an additional term at order [mu]=[ital m][sub [pi]]/[ital M] only in the isospin amplitude [ital A][sup ([minus])]. The role of the transitions between the nucleon and the resonance [ital P][sub 33](1232) or [ital P]-wave baryons is also discussed; we find that the leading contributions to the isospin amplitudes at [ital O]([mu][sup 2]) are from the transition between the [ital P]-wave baryons and the nucleon, and from the charge radius of the nucleon. The leading contribution from the [ital P]-wave baryons only affects neutral pion production, and improves the agreement with data significantly. The transition between the resonance [ital P][sub 33](1232) and the nucleon only gives an order [mu][sup 3] correction to [ital A][sup ([minus])].

Octupole degree of freedom for nuclei near 152Sm in a reflection-asymmetric relativistic mean-field approach
The potential energy surfaces of even-even isotopes near 152Sm are investigated within the constrained reflection-asymmetric relativistic mean-field approach using parameter sets PK1 and NL3. It is shown that the critical-point candidate nucleus 152Sm marks the shape/phase transition not only from U(5) to SU(3) symmetry, but also from the octupole deformed ground state in 150Sm to the quadrupole deformed ground state in 154Sm. The important role of the octupole deformation driving pair (?2f7/2, ?1i13/2) is demonstrated based on the components of the single-particle levels near the Fermi surface. In addition, the patterns of both the proton and the neutron octupole deformation driving pairs (?2f7/2, ?1i13/2) and (?2d5/2, ?1h11/2) are investigated.

Longitudinal transitions of baryon resonances in the constituent quark model
A longitudinal transition operator that satisfies the gauge invariance requirement is introduced in the constituent quark model. The corresponding longitudinal transitions from the ground state of the nucleon to resonances of the baryon are calculated. The study shows that the longitudinal coupling plays an important role in the understanding of the structure of the baryon.

The Kaon-Photoproduction Of Nucleons In The Chiral Quark Model
In this paper, we develop a general framework to study the mesonphotoproductions of nucleons in the chiral quark model. The S and U channel resonance contributions are expressed in terms of the ChewGoldberger-Low-Nambu (CGLN) amplitudes. The kaon-photoproduction processes, γp → K+Λ, γp → K+Σ0, and γp → K0Σ+, are calculated. The initial results show that the quark model provides a much improved description of the reaction mechanism for the kaon-photoproductions of the nucleon with less parameters than the traditional phenomenological approaches.

Kaon photoproduction on the neutron using deuterium.
The three processes \ensuremath{\gamma}+d\ensuremath{\rightarrow}${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}^{0}$(${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}}^{0}$)+${\mathit{K}}^{0}$+p and \ensuremath{\gamma}+d\ensuremath{\rightarrow}${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$+${\mathit{K}}^{+}$+p are investigated in the framework of the impulse approximation. The exclusive reactions d(\ensuremath{\gamma},Kp)Y where the proton is detected in coincidence with the ${\mathit{K}}^{0}$ or ${\mathit{K}}^{+}$ should provide unique signatures for each of the processes. In most kinematic situations the final-state Yp interaction is insignificant and the elementary process cross section for \ensuremath{\gamma}+n\ensuremath{\rightarrow}Y+K can be reliably extracted. Cross-section estimates are given for several models of the basic production operator.

New light on time machines: Against the chronology protection conjecture.
I construct a spacetime with closed timelike curves and without closed causal geodesics. There is a noncompactly generated Cauchy horizon separating the region with closed timelike curves from that without closed causal curves. This spacetime might be stable against the vacuum fluctuation of matter fields. Whether such a spacetime is stable against the vacuum fluctuation of a gravitational field is an open question.

Perturbative QCD analysis of B meson decays.
The resummation of large QCD radiative corrections, including leading and next-to-leading logarithms, in the pion electromagnetic form factor is reviewed. A similar formalism is applied to exclusive processes involving heavy mesons, and leads to Sudakov suppression for the semileptonic decay {ital B}{r_arrow}{pi}{ital l}{nu}. It is found that, with the inclusion of Sudakov effects, a perturbative QCD analysis of this decay is reliable for the energy fraction of the pion above 0.4. Combining predictions from soft pion theorems we estimate that the upper limit of the matrix element {parallel}{ital V}{sub {ital ub}}{parallel} is 2.8{endash}4.8{times}10{sup {minus}3} from different models of the {ital B} meson wave function. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}

Applicability of perturbative QCD to B-->D decays.
We examine the applicability of perturbative QCD to {ital B} meson decays into {ital D} mesons. We find that the perturbative QCD formalism, which includes Sudakov effects at intermediate energy scales, is applicable to the semileptonic decay {ital B}{r_arrow}{ital Dl}{nu}, when the {ital D} meson recoils fast. Following this conclusion, we analyze the two-body nonleptonic decays {ital B}{r_arrow}{ital D}{pi} and {ital B}{r_arrow}{ital DD}{sub {ital s}}. By comparing our predictions with experimental data, we extract the matrix element {vert_bar}{ital V}{sub {ital c}{ital b}}{vert_bar}=0.044.
