A study of nucleon-nucleon interaction from the quark-antiquark pair creation model
The NN interaction is studied with the quark cluster model by including the equivalent one-meson-exchange potentials and two-pion-exchange potential, which are constructed from the quark-antiquark pair-creation transition potential. The results show that the long-range part of the equivalent meson-exchange potential is similar to that of the conventional meson-exchange potential, and the medium-range part of the equivalent meson-exchange potential is attractive, but the strength of the latter is not enough to explain the phase shifts of S-wave NN scattering.

title: Color screening effect in the quark potential model
abstract: By using the color confinement potential which includes the color screening effect, we studied the baryon spectra and the nucleon-nucleon interaction. The results show that the color screening effect not only improves the baryon spectrum calculation, but also can solve the long-tail problem of the color Van der Waals force. A part of the medium attraction of the nuclear force can be obtained from the color Van der Waals force.

title: Hyperon-Meson Vertices and Hyperon-Nucleon Interactions on Quark Model
abstract: In this paper, we introduce two parts of work: the hyperon-meson vertex structure from the one-gluon-exchange quark-antiquark pair creation model and the hyperon-nucleon interactions on a modified quark potential model. For both parts some significant results have been obtained.

title: BARYON–BARYON INTERACTION IN THE EXTENDED CHIRAL SU(3) QUARK MODEL
abstract: The hyperon-nucleon scattering processes and some dibaryon states are studied both in the chiral SU(3) quark model and in the extended chiral SU(3) quark model by solving the resonating group method (RGM) equation. We find that the short-range interaction could be described either by the one-gluon exchange or by the vector meson exchange for baryon-baryon system.

title: Multi-strange hadronic systems in a chiral SU(3) quark mean field model
abstract: We apply the chiral SU(3) quark mean field model to investigate the finite nuclei. We find that the combined confining potential chi(c)(C) is more proper to describe finite nuclei compared with the scalar and scalar-vector potentials. The hypernuclei and multi-strange objects which include A and Xi are discussed in this model. The maximum binding energy for such kind of multi-strange objects is about 16-17 MeV and the corresponding strangeness fraction f(s) is around 1.2-1.3.

title: DETERMINING THE LUMINOSITY FUNCTION OF SWIFT LONG GAMMA-RAY BURSTS WITH PSEUDO-REDSHIFTS
abstract: The determination of the luminosity function (LF) of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is an important role for the cosmological applications of the GRBs, which, however, is seriously hindered by some selection effects due to redshift measurements. In order to avoid these selection effects, we suggest calculating pseudo-redshifts for Swift GRBs according to the empirical L-Ep relationship. Here, such a L-Ep relationship is determined by reconciling the distributions of pseudo- and real redshifts of redshift-known GRBs. The values of Ep taken from Butler's GRB catalog are estimated with Bayesian statistics rather than observed. Using the GRB sample with pseudo-redshifts of a relatively large number, we fit the redshift-resolved luminosity distributions of the GRBs with a broken-power-law LF. The fitting results suggest that the LF could evolve with redshift by a redshift-dependent break luminosity, e.g., Lb = 1.2 × 1051(1 + z)2 erg s–1. The low- and high-luminosity indices are constrained to 0.8 and 2.0, respectively. It is found that the proportional coefficient between the GRB event rate and the star formation rate should correspondingly decrease with increasing redshifts.

title: Shallow decay phase of GRB X-ray afterglows from relativistic wind bubbles
abstract: The postburst object of a GRB is likely to be a highly magnetized, rapidly rotating compact object (e.g., a millisecond magnetar), which could produce an ultrarelativistic electron-positron-pair wind. The interaction of such a wind with an outwardly expanding fireball ejected during the burst leads to a relativistic wind bubble (RWB). We investigate the properties of RWBs and use this model to explain the shallow decay phase of the early X-ray afterglows observed by Swift.  We numerically calculate the dynamics and radiative properties of RWBs.  We find that RWBs can fall into two types: forward-shock-dominated and reverse-shock-dominated bubbles. Their radiation during a period of ~$10^{2}{-}10^{5}$ s is dominated by the shocked medium and the shocked wind, respectively, based on different magnetic energy fractions of the shocked materials. For both types, the resulting light curves always have a shallow decay phase, as discovered by Swift. In addition, we provide an example fit to the X-ray afterglows of GRB 060813 and GRB 060814 and show that they could be produced by forward-shock-dominated and reverse-shock-dominated bubbles, respectively. This implies that, for some early afterglows (e.g., GRB 060814), the long-lasting reverse shock emission is strong enough to explain their shallow decay phase.

title: Three-dimensional charge dispersion curves from interactions of 11--29 GeV protons with uranium
abstract: Experimental nuclear charge dispersion curves from interactions of 11--29 Gev protons with /sup 238/U have been used in the construction of three-dimensional charge dispersion curves. They show the yield variation with mass number A. Neutron-deficient products are distributed over the entire mass range with a peak at A near 87, while the yield of neutron-excessive products is distributed only in the relatively narrow mass region between A=70 and A=150 and has a maximum around A=115. An isobaric yield curve has been obtained by summing up each of the charge dispersion curves and shows a peak, rather than the flat top, in the mass region A=80 to 140 reported previously. The mass yield curves of neutron-excessive and neutron-deficient products are obtained by a decomposition of the charge dispersion curve with two Gaussians, and the mechanism of formation is suggested.

title: X-RAY AND HIGH-ENERGY FLARES FROM LATE INTERNAL SHOCKS OF GAMMA-RAY BURSTS
abstract: We study afterglow flares of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in the framework of the late internal shock (LIS) model based on a careful description for the dynamics of a pair of shocks generated by a collision between two homogeneous shells. First, by confronting the model with some fundamental observational features of X-ray flares, we find some constraints on the properties of the pre-collision shells that are directly determined by the central engine of GRBs. Second, high-energy emission associated with X-ray flares, which arises from synchrotron self-Compton emission of LISs, is investigated in a wide parameter space. The predicted flux of high-energy flares may reach as high as ~10–8 erg cm–2 s–1, which is likely to be detectable with the Large Area Telescope aboard the Fermi Space Telescope (formerly GLAST).

title: High-redshift gamma-ray bursts: observational signatures of superconducting cosmic strings?
abstract: The high-redshift gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), GRBs 080913 and 090423, challenge the conventional GRB progenitor models by their short durations, typical for short GRBs, and their high energy releases, typical for long GRBs. Meanwhile, the GRB rate inferred from high-redshift GRBs also remarkably exceeds the prediction of the collapsar model, with an ordinary star formation history. We show that all these contradictions could be eliminated naturally, if we ascribe some high-redshift GRBs to electromagnetic bursts of superconducting cosmic strings. High-redshift GRBs could become a reasonable way to test the superconducting cosmic string model because the event rate of cosmic string bursts increases rapidly with increasing redshifts, whereas the collapsar rate decreases.
