α-decay energy formula for superheavy nuclei based on the liquid-drop model
A formula of $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-decay energy for superheavy nuclei based on the method of macroscopic model plus shell corrections is proposed. The macroscopic part of this formula is derived from the Bethe-Weizs\"acker binding energy formula, and the shell corrections at $N=152$ and $N=162$ are expressed by the Mexican hat wavelet functions. The parameters of this formula are obtained through fitting to 170 $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-decay energies for nuclei ranging from $Z=90$ to $Z=118$ with $N\ensuremath{\geqslant}140$. Numerical results show that 170 existing $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-decay energies can be reproduced very well; the average and standard deviations between theoretical results and experimental data are 0.177 and 0.226 MeV, respectively. The $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-decay energies of newly synthesized nuclei ${}^{293,294}117$ and their $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-decay products are also reproduced very well. In addition, the $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-decay energies for nuclei with $Z=110$\char21{}120 are predicted and compared with the results calculated by the macroscopic-microscopic model. Great differences are found for nuclei with $Z\ensuremath{\geqslant}116$ and $N\ensuremath{\geqslant}176$ due to the shell effects near the hypothetical doubly magic nucleus ${}^{298}$${114}_{184}$ in the macroscopic-microscopic model. Therefore, by comparing experimental $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-decay energies measured in the future with the ones predicted by these two methods, one can obtain useful information about the next proton and neutron magic numbers.

title: Theoretical study of nuclear charge densities with elastic electron scattering
abstract: The calculated cross sections for elastic Coulomb electron scattering from the phase-shift analysis method and the eikonal approximation are compared. It is shown that the phase-shift analysis method can reproduce the experimental data very well for both light and heavy nuclei. Then the phase-shift analysis is used to investigate elastic electron scattering along the O and S isotopic chains, where the charge densities are obtained from relativistic mean-field theory. Results show that the minima of the differential cross section shift inward and upward with the increase of the neutron number.

title: Coupled-channels study of fine structure in the {alpha} decay of well deformed nuclei
abstract: We formulate a theoretical model for the {alpha} decay of well-deformed even-even nuclei based on the coupled-channel Schroedinger equation. The {alpha}-decay half-lives and fine structures observed in {alpha} decay are well described by the five-channel microscopic calculations. Since the branching ratios to high-spin states are hard to understand in the traditional {alpha}-decay theories, this success could be important to interpret future observations of heavier nuclei. It is also found that the {alpha} transition to high-spin states is a powerful tool to probe the energy spectrum and deformation of daughter nuclei.

title: Relativistic eikonal approaches to parity violating electron-nucleus scattering
abstract: The Coulomb electron scattering on even-even nuclei and the magnetic electron scattering on odd-$A$ nuclei have been investigated in the relativistic eikonal approximation and in the plane wave Born approximation, respectively. In this article, we generalize the relativistic eikonal approximation to the parity violating electron scattering on even-even nuclei. The parity violating asymmetries at electron energy of 850 MeV are calculated for three typical cases: Ca isotopes, $N=50$ isotones, and $N=Z$ doubly magic nuclei. In calculations the proton and neutron densities are obtained from the relativistic mean-field theory. The parity violating asymmetries are analyzed by comparing both the form factors and the densities of neutrons and protons. It is found that the parity violating asymmetries are sensitive to the differences between neutron and proton densities. Our results provide useful references for the parity violating electron-nucleus scattering experiments in the future.

title: β-decay half-lives including first-forbidden contributions for neutron-rich Zn isotopes in the extended QRPA with neutron-proton pairing
abstract: The β decays of neutron-rich Zn isotopes are investigated within the extended quasiparticle random-phase approximation, where neutron-neutron, proton-proton, and neutron-proton pairing correlations are considered in the similar manner. The Bruckner G-matrix obtained with the charge-dependent Bonn nucleon-nucleon force is used for the residual particle-particle and particle-hole interactions in addition to the pairing interactions. Contributions from both allowed Gamow-Teller and first-forbidden transitions are considered, and β-decay half-lives together with β-delayed neutron emission probabilities are calculated. The calculated results are found to agree well with the available experimental data.

title: Direct measurements of the branching fractions for inclusive K± and inclusive semileptonic decays of D+ and D0 mesons
abstract: With singly-tagged D ¯ samples selected from the data collected at and around 3.773 GeV with the BESII detector at the BEPC collider, we have measured the branching fractions for the inclusive K ± decays of D + and D 0 mesons, which are BF ( D + → K − X ) = ( 24.7 ± 1.3 ± 1.2 ) % , BF ( D + → K + X ) = ( 6.1 ± 0.9 ± 0.4 ) % , BF ( D 0 → K − X ) = ( 57.8 ± 1.6 ± 3.2 ) % and BF ( D 0 → K + X ) = ( 3.5 ± 0.7 ± 0.3 ) % , respectively. We have also measured the branching fractions for the inclusive semileptonic decays of D + and D 0 mesons to be BF ( D + → e + X ) = ( 15.2 ± 0.9 ± 0.8 ) % and BF ( D 0 → e + X ) = ( 6.3 ± 0.7 ± 0.4 ) % . These yield the ratio of their partial widths to be Γ ( D + → e + X ) / Γ ( D 0 → e + X ) = 0.95 ± 0.12 ± 0.07 .

title: Search for strong gravity signatures in same-sign dimuon final states using the ATLAS detector at the LHC
abstract: A search for microscopic black holes has been performed in a same-sign dimuon final state using 1.3 fb(-1) of proton-proton collision data collected with the ATLAS detector at a centre of mass energy of 7 TeV at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The data are found to be consistent with the expectation from the Standard Model and the results are used to derive exclusion contours in the context of a low scale gravity model.

title: Measurement of D± production in deep inelastic ep scattering with the ZEUS detector at HERA
abstract: A bstractCharm production in deep inelastic ep scattering was measured with the ZEUS detector using an integrated luminosity of 354 pb−1. Charm quarks were identified by reconstructing D± mesons in the D± → K∓π±π± decay channel. Lifetime information was used to reduce combinatorial background substantially. Differential cross sections were measured in the kinematic region 5 < Q2< 1000 GeV2, 0.02 < y < 0.7, 1.5 < pT (D±) < 15 GeV and |η(D±)| < 1.6, where Q2 is the photon virtuality, y is the inelasticity, and pT (D±) and η(D±) are the transverse momentum and the pseudorapidity of the D± meson, respectively. Next-to-leading-order QCD predictions are compared to the data. The charm contribution, $ F_2^{{c\overline{c}}} $, to the proton structure-function F2 was extracted.
