NON-ABELIAN PERMITTIVITY OF QUARK–GLUON PLASMA DUE TO THE SELF-INTERACTION OF FIELD
From the semiclassical kinetic equations and the mean field equation of quark–gluon plasma, the contribution of the color field self-coupling to the non-Abelian permittivity at the leading order in the weak coupling constant is analyzed. The nonlinear frequency drift has been estimated for the k=0 modes.

Finite-temperature nuclear matter properties within a relativistic σ − ω coupling model
We use the relativistic mean field theory to study the finite temperature nuclear matter properties. The effects of isoscalar $\ensuremath{\sigma}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\omega}$ coupling on the equation of state and finite temperature properties of symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter are investigated carefully. For comparison, we also discuss the properties of two nonlinear $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ self-coupling models, namely NL-SH and NL3. It is found that the $\ensuremath{\sigma}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\omega}$ coupling term can soften the equation of state, but has very limited influence to the critical temperature of the nuclear matter liquid-gas phase transition.

Three-dimensional correlated-fermion phase separation from analysis of the geometric mean of the individual susceptibilities
A quasi-Gaussian approximation scheme is formulated to study the strongly correlated imbalanced Fermions thermodynamics, where the mean-field theory is not applicable. The non-Gaussian correlation effects are understood to be captured by the statistical geometric mean of the individual susceptibilities. In the three-dimensional unitary fermions ground state, a universal nonlinear scaling transformation relates the physical chemical potentials with the individual Fermi kinetic energies. For the partial polarization phase separation to full polarization, the calculated critical polarization ratio is δC = [1−(1−ξ)6/5]/[1+(1−ξ)6/5] ≐ 0.34. ξ = 4/9 gives the ratio of the symmetric ground state energy density to that of the ideal fermion gas.

1S0 pairing correlation in symmetric nuclear matter with Debye screening effects
Abstract The 1 S 0 pairing of symmetric nuclear matter is discussed in the framework of relativistic nuclear theory with Dyson–Schwinger equations (DSEs). The in-medium nucleon and meson propagators are treated in a more self-consistent way through meson polarizations. The screening effects on mesons due to in-medium nucleon excitation are found to reduce the 1 S 0 pairing gap and shift remarkably the gap peak to low density region.

Hypernucleus physics at RHIC
Abstract We report recent progress in hypernucleus studies measured by the STAR collaboration at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. We show a preliminary hypertriton measurement from our current event sample and discuss the next step for this project.

HEAVY STABLE CHARGED PARTICLE SEARCHES AT THE LHC
Several searches for heavy stable charged particles have recently been performed using data from $\sqrt{s} = 7 {\rm TeV}$pp collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This review summarizes some of the theoretical and experimental motivations for such searches, and discusses searches for stable squarks, stable gluino, stable sleptons and multiply charged heavy stable particles with the CMS and ATLAS detectors.

Shear viscosity in weakly coupled N-component scalar field theories
The rich phenomena of the shear viscosity (eta) to entropy density (s) ratio, eta/s, in weakly coupled N-component scalar field theories are studied. eta/s can have a "double dip" behavior due to resonances and the phase transition. If an explicit Goldstone mass term is added, then eta/s can either decrease monotonically in temperature or, as seen in many other systems, reach a minimum at the phase transition. We also show how to go beyond the original variational approach to make the Boltzmann equation computation of eta systematic.

Space and time-like electromagnetic pion form factors in light-cone pQCD
Abstract We present a combined analysis of the space- and time-like electromagnetic pion form factors in light-cone perturbative QCD with transverse momentum dependence and Sudakov suppression. Including the genuine non-perturbative “soft” QCD and the power suppressed twist-3 corrections to the standard twist-2 perturbative QCD result, the experimental form factor data available at moderate energies/momentum transfers can be explained reasonably well. To this end, the bulk of the existing discrepancy between the space- and time-like experimental data is ostensibly reconciled.

Comment on "Subleading Corrections to Parity Violating Pion Photoproduction"
In a recent preprint, hep-ph/0012253, Zhu et al. calculated a part of the next-to-leading order corrections to parity-violating pion photoproduction (pol)gamma p-> pi^+ n in heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory. They claim they have found the contribution as large as the leading-order. If correct, the process will not be a clean way to extract the longest range PV pion-nucleon coupling constant h_{\pi NN}^(1), as was asserted in our previous publications (hep-ph/0011230, nucl-th/0011100). In this comment we show that there is no solid evidence to support Zhu et al.'s claim. Moreover, we show that the subleading parity-violating coupling h_V cannot be extracted from observables at the order of interest based on the formalism of effective field theory.
