Unitarity bounds on elastic absorptive amplitudes involving total cross section, forward slope and curvature. II
For pt.I see Phys. Lett. vol.67B, no.3, p.327 (1977). Unitarity bounds on the shape of the diffraction peak obtained using only the positivity of the absorptive part of the partial waves are extended to include the boundedness restriction and are compared with data. A detailed explanation is given for a curious phenomenon that has recently been observed to arise in variational problems of this kind.

Quantum violation of stochastic noncontextual hidden-variable theories.
We formulate stochastic noncontextual hidden-variable theories. In such theories the hidden state λ specifies not definite values, but expectation values A − (λ), ... of observables A, ... and noncontextuality means that A − (λ) is independent of which other commuting observables commuting with A are measured together with A. We show via Bell inequalities that such theories conflict with quantum theory and propose a two-photon experimental test. We also show that for a single particle of spin (2 n −1)/2, quantum violation of classical noncontextuality grows exponentially with n.

Unitarity upper bound on the absorptive parts of elastic scattering amplitudes
We derive a unitarity upper bound on the absorptive part A(s, t) of the elastic-scattering amplitude in the physical region. In the diffraction peak region the bound on A(s, t)/A(s, 0) is a function only of the parameter σ tot 2 (−t)/4πσ el . Assuming the diffraction scattering to be purely absorptive and spin independent we find the pp, pp, and π ± p data to lie a little below the theoretical upper bound. Further the experimental curve of X(t)/X(0) vs −4tX(0)/σ el , where X(t)≡dσ/dt, seems "universal."

psi particles, SU(4), and anomalous currents
We propose assignment of the new ψ particles in an SU(4) symmetry scheme, incorporating SU(3) and a new additive quantum number, paracharge Z. Anomalous currents are introduced to account for the production and decays of these particles. Two more rather broad resonances at around 4.3 and 5.0 (±0.2) GeV are expected in the e + e - annihilation, one of which has recently been reported (at 4.15 GeV).

JOINT PROBABILITIES REPRODUCING THREE EPR EXPERIMENTS ON TWO QUBITS
An eight-parameter family of the most general non-negative quadruple probabilities is constructed for EPR–Bohm–Aharonov experiments when only three pairs of analyser settings are used. It is a simultaneous representation of three different Bohr-incompatible experimental configurations involving mutually noncommuting observables valid for arbitrary quantum states.

Constraints on Non-Commutative Physics Scale with Neutrino-Electron Scattering
Neutrino-electron scatterings ($\ensuremath{\nu}\ensuremath{-}e$) are purely leptonic processes with robust standard model predictions. Their measurements can therefore provide constraints to physics beyond the standard model. Noncommutative (NC) field theories modify space-time commutation relations, and allow neutrino electromagnetic couplings at the tree level. Their contribution to the neutrino-electron scattering cross section was derived. Constraints were placed on the NC scale parameter ${\ensuremath{\Lambda}}_{\mathrm{NC}}$ from $\ensuremath{\nu}\ensuremath{-}e$ experiments with reactor and accelerator neutrinos. The most stringent limit of ${\ensuremath{\Lambda}}_{\mathrm{NC}}g3.3\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{TeV}$ at 95% confidence level improves over the direct bounds from collider experiments.

Flow effects in 84Kr induced collisions in emulsion at 0.95 GeV per nucleon

Abstract. Using emulsion detector the collective flow signals in inelastic interactions of 84Kr nuclei with Ag(Br) at 950 MeV/nucleon are studied. A transverse momentum analysis is performed to determine the reaction plane. The bounce-off of spectator fragments is observed. In azimuthal distributions relative to the reaction plane squeeze-out and side-splash of participants are seen.

Measurement of semi electronic decay of heavy flavor mesons in d+Au collision at RHIC using PHENIX detector
Abstract The PHENIX detector at RHIC has measured single electron spectra from heavy flavor decays in p+p and Au+Au collisions at s N N = 200 GeV . A strong suppression is observed compared to the binary scaling of p+p collisions for high p T single electrons in Au+Au collisions providing evidence for strong medium effects. The motivation for measuring the single electron spectra from the decay of heavy flavor mesons in d+Au collisions from the 2008 RHIC run (Run8) is to determine parton distribution modifications, the Cronin effect and possible energy loss present in cold nuclear matter. These phenomena can mask hot nuclear matter effects and therefore must be understood in order to interpret the Au+Au results. The analysis is still in progress, but the latest results and technical details are being shown in the current paper.

Effect of N/Z in pre-scission neutron multiplicity for 16,18O+194,198Pt systems
This paper report the summary of the experimental results of pre-scission neutron multiplicities from four compound nuclei, namely 210,212,214,216 Rn, and statistical model analysis of the corresponding data. The compound nuclei 210,212,214,216 Rn having N/Z values as 1.441, 1.465, 1.488, 1.511 respectively are populated through the 16,18 O+ 194,198 Pt reactions at excitation energies of 50, 61, 71.7 and 79 MeV. The measured neutron multiplicities are further analyzed with the statistical model of nuclear decay where fission hindrance due to nuclear dissipation is considered. The N/Z dependence of the dissipation strength at lowest excitation energy of the compound nuclei suggests shell closure effects. However, such effects are not observed at higher excitations where the variation of the dissipation strength with N/Z does not show any specific trend. The variation of N/Z in fission time scale is also shown.

Path-integral formulation of scattering theory: Central potentials
We consider central-potential scattering and determine a path-integral representation for the S matrix in polar coordinates. This is obtained by transforming to polar coordinates a Cartesian form of the nonrelativistic S matrix given by Campbell et al., and implementing an idea of Faddeev to obtain the appropriate asymptotic conditions. Our results are applied to scattering in an inverse-square potential to determine the correct phase shifts as well as the S matrix.
