Fluctuations and entropy indices of QCD parton showers.
The branching processes in parton showers are studied in perturbative QCD for both quark and gluon jets. The emphasis is on the nature of fluctuations of both the parton multiplicities and the spatial patterns of the final states. Effective measures of such fluctuations are calculated from the data obtained by Monte Carlo simulations. The entropy indices are used to characterize chaoticity. Both running and fixed couplings are considered. The fixed coupling case is used to study the onset of chaos. Implications of the results are discussed. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}

The Correlated Multi-color Optical Variations of BL Lac Object S5 0716+714
S5 0716+714 is a well-studied BL Lac object in the sky. Verifying the existence of correlations among the flux variations in different bands serves as an important tool to investigate the emission processes. To examine the possible existence of a lag between variations in different optical bands on this source, we employ a discrete correlation function analysis on the light curves. In order to obtain statistically meaningful values for the cross-correlation time lags and their related uncertainties, we perform Monte Carlo simulations called 'flux redistribution/random subset selection'. Our analysis confirms that the variations in different optical light curves are strongly correlated. The time lags show a hint of the variations in high frequency band leading those in low frequency band of the order of a few minutes.

Testing Lorentz invariance with the ultrahigh energy cosmic ray spectrum
The Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin cutoff predicted at the ultrahigh energy cosmic ray spectrum has been observed by the HiRes and Auger experiments. The results put severe constraints on the effect of Lorentz invariance violation (LIV), which has been introduced to explain the absence of the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin cutoff indicated in the AGASA data. Assuming a homogeneous source distribution with a single power-law spectrum, we calculate the ultrahigh energy cosmic ray spectrum observed on the Earth by taking photopion production, e(+)e(-) pair production, and the adiabatic energy loss into account. The effect of LIV is also taken into account in the calculation. By fitting the HiRes monocular spectra and the Auger combined spectra, we show that the LIV parameter is constrained to xi=-0.8(-0.5)(+3.2)x10(-23) and 0.0(-0.4)(+1.0)x10(-23), respectively, which is very consistent with strict Lorentz invariance up to the highest energy.

Deuteron electromagnetic form factors in the intermediate energy region.
Based on a perturbative QCD analysis of the deuteron form factor, a model for the reduced form factor is suggested. The numerical result is consistent with the data in the intermediate energy region. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
