Model-independent results for SU(3) violation in light-cone distribution functions.
Using chiral symmetry we investigate the leading SU(3) violation in light-cone distribution functions phi(M)(x) of the pion, kaon, and eta. It is shown that terms nonanalytic in the quark masses do not affect the shape, and only appear in the decay constants. Predictive power is retained including the leading analytic m(q) operators. With the symmetry violating corrections we derive useful model-independent relations between phi(pi),phi(eta),phiK+(,K0), and phiK(0)(,K-). Using the soft-collinear effective theory we discuss how factorization generates the subleading chiral coefficients.

Constructing parton convolution in effective field theory.
Parton convolution models have been used extensively in describing the sea quarks in the nucleon and explaining quark distributions in nuclei (the EMC effect). From the effective field theory point of view, we construct the parton convolution formalism which has been the underlying conception of all convolution models. We explain the significance of scheme and scale dependence of the auxiliary quantities such as the pion distributions in a nucleon. As an application, we calculate the complete leading nonanalytic chiral contribution to the isovector component of the nucleon sea.

Twisted valence quarks and hadron interactions on the lattice
Abstract We consider QCD with valence and sea quarks obeying different boundary conditions. We point out that the energy of low lying two hadron states do not depend on the boundary condition of the sea quarks (up to exponentially small corrections). Thus, the advantages in using twisted boundary conditions on the lattice QCD extraction of nucleon–nucleon phase shifts can be gained without the need of new gauge configurations, even in fully unquenched calculations.

Model analysis of thermal UV-cutoff effects on the chiral critical surface at finite temperature and chemical potential
We study the effects of temporal UV-cutoff on the chiral critical surface in hot and dense QCD using a chiral effective model. Recent lattice QCD simulations indicate that the curvature of the critical surface might change toward the direction in which the first-order phase transition becomes stronger on increasing the number of lattice sites. To investigate this effect on the critical surface in an effective model approach, we use the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with finite Matsubara frequency summation. We find that the nature of the curvature of the critical surface does not alter appreciably as we decrease the summation number, which is unlike the case that was observed in recent lattice QCD studies. This may suggest that the dependence of chemical potential on the coupling strength or some additional interacting terms such as vector interactions could play an important role at finite density.

Large-Nc quark distributions in the delta and chiral logarithms in quark distributions of the nucleon
Abstract In a world with two quark flavors and a large number of colors ( N c ), the polarized and unpolarized quark distributions in the delta are completely determined by those in the nucleon up to relative O (1/N c 2 ) . In particular, we find q Δ (x)=[(1±2T z )u N (x)+(1∓2T z )d N (x)]/2(1+ O (1/N c 2 )) and Δq Δ (x)=[(5±2T z )Δu N (x)+(5∓2T z )Δd N (x)]/10(1+ O (1/N c 2 )) , where q = u , d and T z the charge state of a delta. The result can be used to estimate the leading chiral-logarithmic corrections to the quark distributions in the nucleon.

Parity Violation in Polarized-Gamma Proton Compton Scattering
Polarized beam gamma p Compton scattering provides a theoretically clean way to extract the isovector parity violating pion-nucleon coupling constant $h_{\pi NN}^{(1)}$. This channel is more tractable experimentally than the recently proposed extraction of $h_{\pi NN}^{(1)}$ from the Bedaque-Savage process --- polarized target gamma p compton scattering. The leading parity violating effect is calculated using Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory. The size of the asymmetry is estimated to be ~ 4 10^{-8} for 120 MeV photon energy.

Bose symmetry interference effects of 4 pi final states
We analyze the relative branching ratios of 4 pi final states pi(+)pi(-)pi(+)pi(-), pi(+)pi(-)pi(0)pi(0), and pi(0)pi(0)pi(0)pi(0), from various resonances with J(PC) = 0(++), 0(-+), 2(++). We find that in some cases the interference effects due to Bose symmetry make their ratios obviously different from the naive counting values without these effects. The results allow an accurate estimate of the 4 pi branching ratios of relevant resonances when only one (or two) modes are measured in a given experiment.

Residue theorem and summing over Kaluza-Klein excitations
Applying the equations of motion together with corresponding boundary conditions of bulk profiles at infrared and ultraviolet branes, we verify some lemmas on the eigenvalues of Kaluza-Klein modes in extension of the standard model with a warped extra dimension and the custodial symmetry SU(3){sub c}xSU(2){sub L}xSU(2){sub R}xU(1){sub X}xP{sub LR}. Using the lemmas and performing properly analytic extensions of bulk profiles, we present the sufficient condition for a convergent series of Kaluza-Klein excitations and sum over the series through the residue theorem. The method can also be applied to sum over the infinite series of Kaluza-Klein excitations in a universal extra dimension. Furthermore, we analyze the possible connection between the propagators in five-dimensional full theory and the product of bulk profiles with corresponding propagators of exciting Kaluza-Klein modes in four-dimensional effective theory, and recover some relations presented in the literature for warped and universal extra dimensions, respectively. As an example, we present the correction from new physics to the branching ratio of B{yields}X{sub s{gamma}} to the order O({mu}{sub EW}{sup 2}/{Lambda}{sub KK}{sup 2}) in extension of the standard model with a warped extra dimension and the custodial symmetry, where {Lambda}{sub KK} denotes the energy scale of low-lying Kaluza-Klein excitations and {mu}{sub EW}more » denotes the electroweak energy scale.« less

PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF FAST KICKER SYSTEM FOR BEPC II
With in BEPC II injection system there are two sets injection lines in storage ring each consisting of a pair of kicker magnets and one Lambertson magnet for e + and e injection respectively. The incoming beam is injected horizontally inside the storage ring. The linac provides the short pulsed bunch train of 3 micro bunches. There are six e + and six e -- bunch trains countermove in a same ring. The single bunch train injection is chosen. The duration of bunch train is 16ns. The kick of field is 130 Gauss-meter. The type of lumped ferrite inductance magnet with ceramic vacuum chamber is chosen. Per magnet consists of four modules each of 30 cm long, The field strength of magnet is 108 gauss. Excitation current is 631 A .The pulse field of magnet is a trapezoidal wave with duration less than 110ns, rise / fall time of K1 and fall / rise time of K2 is 33ns / 50ns respectively. The lumped LC network with impedance of 30ohm and voltage of 38kV is chosen as a pulser. The stray inductance of lead is controlled to be small enough by an air-insulated coaxial construction. Field rise time is reduced by the compensating capacitance and the fall time is reduced by second switch and saturable reactor. A ZVS PWM type of high voltage power supply is chosen as the charger for PFN. The details are described in this paper.
