Magnetic Manipulation of Massless Dirac Fermions in Graphene Quantum Dot

We have theoretically analyzed the quasibound states in a Mraphene quantum dot （GO, D） with a magnetic flux -φ in the centre. It is shown that the two-fold time reversal degeneracy is broken and the quasibound states of GQD with positive~negative angular momentum shifted upwards/downwards with increasing the magnetic flux. The variation of the quasibound energy depends linearly on the magnetic flux, which is quite different from the parabolic relationship for SchrSdinger electrons. The GQD＇s quasibound states spectrum shows an obvious Aharonov-Bohm （AB） oscillations with the magnetic flux. It is also shown that the quasibound state with energy equal to the barrier height becomes a bound state completely confined in GQD.     

Hyperchaos--chaos--Hyperchaos Transition in a Class of On--Off Intermittent Systems Driven by a Family of Generalized Lorenz Systems

Blowout bifurcation in nonlinear systems occurs when a chaotic attractor lying in some symmetric subspace becomes transversely unstable. A class of five-dimensional continuous autonomous systems is considered, in which a two-dimensional subsystem is driven by a family of generalized Lorenz systems. The systems have some common dynamical characters. As the coupling parameter changes, blowout bifurcations occur in these systems and brings on change of the systems＇ dynamics. After the bifurcation the phenomenon of on-off intermittency appears. It is observed that the systems undergo a symmetric hyperchaos-chaos-hyperchaos transition via or after blowout bifurcations. An example of the systems is given, in which the drive system is the Chen system. We investigate the dynamical behaviour before and after the blowout bifurcation in the systems and make an analysis of the transition process. It is shown that in such coupled chaotic continuous systems, blowout bifurcation leads to a transition from chaos to hyperchaos for the whole systems, which provides a route to hyperchaos.     

Realization of generalized synchronization between different chaotic systems via scalar controller

In this paper, a very simple generalized synchronization method between different chaotic systems is presented. Only a scalar controller is used in this method. The method of obtaining the scalar controller from chaotic systems is established. The sufficient and necessary condition of generalized synchronization is obtained from a rigorous theory, and the sufficient and necessary condition of generalized synchronization is irrelative to chaotic system itself. Theoretical analyses and simulation results show that the method established in this paper is effective.     

Function projective lag synchronization of fractional-order chaotic systems

Function projective lag synchronization of different structural fractional-order chaotic systems is investigated. It is shown that the slave system can be synchronized with the past states of the driver up to a scaling function matrix. According to the stability theorem of linear fractional-order systems, a nonlinear fractional-order controller is designed for the synchronization of systems with the same and different dimensions. Especially, for two different dimensional systems, the synchronization is achieved in both reduced and increased dimensions. Three kinds of numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the scheme.     

Suppression of Noises in Open-Loop-Closed-Loop Coupled Systems

Suppression of noises is studied for the open-loop-closed-loop （OPCL） coupling systems between the driver and response systems. In OPCL coupling systems, the error signal of noise is found to be suppressed and shows bounds. The error signal can be decreased exponentially by enlarging the absolute value of the eigenvalues＇ real part of the Hurwitz matrix. A method is provided to reduce the error signal sufficiently and achieve complete synchronization （US） effectively for the OPCL coupling systems under noises. Based on this method, three numerical examples are reported in this paper,     

Measure Synchronization of High-Cycle Islets in Coupled Hamiltonian Systems

Measure synchronization is a new phenomenon found in coupled Hamiltonian systems recently and it is interesting to understand its properties comprehensively. We discuss the measure synchronization of a coupled pair of standard maps in high period quasi-period orbits, and the measure synchronization transition is associated with the transition of coupled systems from quasi-periodicity to chaos. This behaviour is very different from that found by Hampton and Zanette [Phys. Rev. Lett. 83 (1999) 2179].     

Perturbation of Symmetries and Mei Adiabatic Invariants of Nonholonomic Systems with Servoconstraints

The perturbation of symmetries and Mei adiabatic invariants of nonholonomic systems with servoconstraints are studied. The exact invariants in the form of Mei conserved quantities introduced by the Mei symmetry of nonholonomic systems with servoconstraints without perturbations are given. Based on the definition of higher-order adiabatic invariants of mechanical systems, the perturbation of Mei symmetries for nonholonomic .systems with servoconstraints under the action of small disturbance is investigated, and Mei adiabatic invatiants of the system are obtained. An example is given to illustrate the application of the results.

The equilibrium state equations, the disturbance equations and their first approximation are presented. The criteria of stability for the equilibrium state manifold are obtained. The relationship between the stability of the equilibrium-state manifold of relativistic Birkhoffian systems and that of classical Birkhoffian systems is discussed. An example is given to illustrate the results.

Mei symmetry of Tzenoff equations for nonholonomic systems of non-Chetaev＇s type under the infinitesimal transformations of groups is studied. Its definitions and discriminant equations of Mei symmetry are given. Sufficient and necessary condition of Lie symmetry deduced by the Mei symmetry is also given. Hojman conserved quantity of Tzenoff equations for the systems through Lie symmetry in the condition of special Mei symmetry is obtained.     

Measurement of PV asymmetry in n＋p→d＋γ and γ＋d→n＋p

The measurement of parity-violating （PV） observables in few-nucleon system can shed light on our current understanding of the weak interaction between nucleons.Theoretical models describe the nucleonnucleon weak interaction at low energies use a series of undetermined parameters.Two parity violating measurements have been considered： the capture of polarized slow neutrons on hydrogen （n ＋ p → d ＋ γ） at Los Alamos National Laboratory for first phase and Oka Ridge National Laboratory for second phase and the helicity dependence of the deuteron photodisintegration cross section using circularly polarized photons （γ ＋ d → n ＋ p） at Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics.The goal of both experiments is to constraint the weak meson-nucleon couplings to a precision of 1 ×10^-8 .The introduction of both experiments is presented.     

Prospectives of the hadron program in ATLAS

One of the first measurements that will be made at the LHC by ATLAS deals with the properties of inelastic collisions,namely the central charged particle density and transverse momentum distributions.Current predictions of these distributions have large uncertainties in the LHC energy range.We describe the ATLAS minimum bias triggers,designed to select all kind of inelastic interactions,and the performance of the track reconstruction software which was adapted to soft particle track reconstruction.The precision with which the minimum bias distributions can be measured with early data is presented and the uncertainties on the inelastic distributions due to trigger bias is discussed.     

Hard-thermal-loop QED thermodynamics

The weak-coupling expansion for thermodynamic quantities in thermal field theories is poorly convergent unless the coupling constant is tiny.We discuss the calculation of the free energy for a hot gas of electrons and photons to three-loop order using hard-thermal-loop perturbation theory （HTLpt）.We show that the hard-thermal-loop perturbation reorganization improves the convergence of the successive approximations to the QED free energy at large coupling,e ～ 2.The reorganization is gauge invariant by construction,and due to the cancellations among various contributions,we obtain a completely analytic result for the resummed thermodynamic potential at three loops.     

Supersymmetric contributions to B_s → K~-π~＋ decay

Recently,the CDF Collaboration has measured the branching fraction and time-integrated direct CP asymmetry of Bs → K-π＋ decay.The branching ratio is lower than the previous predictions based on QCD factorization.The experimental results favor a large CP asymmetry in Bs → K-π＋ decay while the standard model prediction is very small.We compute the supersymmetry contributions to Bs → K-π＋ decay using the mass insertion method,and find that the LR and RL mass insertions could suppress this branching ratio and increase this direct CP asymmetry well in line with the experimental data.     

Quark-clustering in cold quark matter

Quarks are proposed to be grouped together to make quark-clusters due to the strong interaction in cold quark matter at a few nuclear densities,because a weakly coupling treatment of the interaction between quarks there would be inadequate.Cold quark matter is then conjectured to be in solid state （i.e.,forming a crystal structure） if the inter-cluster potential is deep enough to localize clusters in lattice.Such a solid state of cold quark matter would be very necessary for us to understand different manifestations of pulsar-like compact stars,and could not be ruled by first principles.     

Search for new physics in the B→K^（＊）l^＋l^- decays at BABAR

Based on a data sample of 384 million BB pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-Ⅱ asymmetric e ＋ e ￣ storage ring,we measure branching fractions,direct CP,isospin and lepton-flavor asymmetries for the rare decays B → K （＊） l ＋ l￣ in two di-lepton mass bins above and below the J/ψ resonance.For the B → K＊ l ＋ l￣ decay,we also measure the K＊ longitudinal polarization fraction and the di-lepton forwardbackward asymmetry.     

Challenges in uncovering the origin of the proton's spin

One of the most fascinating challenges facing modern strong interaction physics is to understand the origin of the spin of the nucleon in terms of the spin and orbital angular momentum of the quarks and gluons.We review recent progress on this problem as well as some of the uncertainties associated with state of the art lattice QCD simulations.In particular,we explain the importance of the corrections associated with chiral extrapolation and finite volume corrections,especially for the term B（0） extracted from the appropriate low moment of the deeply virtual Compton scattering amplitude.     

Entanglement in a two-qubit Heisenberg XXZ chain with different Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya couplings and an inhomogeneous magnetic field

Ground state entanglement and thermal entanglement of a two-qubit Heisenberg XXZ chain in the presence of the different Dzyaloshinski-Moriya interaction and inhomogeneous magnetic field are investigated.By the concept of concurrence,we find that the inhomogeneity of the magnetic field may make entanglement last for a long time and the critical temperature is dependent on Jz and b.The entanglement can be increased by increasing the temperature in some cases.We also find that the x-component parameter Dx has a higher critical temperature and more entanglement for a certain condition than the z-component parameter Dz.     

Search for the origin of double-peak structure at RHIC by AMPT model with triggered di-jet

With a multi-phase transport （AMPT） model,a γ-jet with known production point and momentum is triggered to search for the origin of double-peak structure in di-hadron azimuthal correlation in central Au＋Au collisions at RHIC energy.The different configurations of triggered γ-jet produce different shapes of medium responses.The key of the double-peak structure is found to be a strong shadowing effect of dense core,which is related to transverse expansion and radial flow of partonic matter.
