title: Measurement of Tau branching ratios
abstract: Using the data accumulated at LEP in 1989 and 1990 with the ALEPH detector, the inclusive and exclusive branching ratios of the τ lepton have been measured assuming lepton universality inZ0 decays. The inclusive branching fractions for the τ decay into one, three, and five charged particles have been determined to be (85.45±0.97)%, (14.35±0.48)%, and (0.10±0.05)%, respectively, in agreement with the world averages. New undetected decay modes are determined to have a branching fraction of less than 2.1% at 95% CL. The measured branching ratios for quasi-exclusive channels are slightly larger than, but consistent with the world averages, except for the modes τ→3 hadrons+vτ andτ→hadron+2π0vτ, which are significantly larger. These latter branching ratios have been found to be (9.5±0.7)% and (10.2±1.1)%, respectively. The sum of all the measured quasi-exclusive branching ratios is (100.4±1.8)%. A fully exclusive analysis of modes with neutral pions shows no evidence for new photonic decay modes with a branching fraction limit of 3.4% at 95% CL.

title: Evidence of soft and collinear gluon emission ine+e− hadronic events
abstract: In the study of rapidity distributions of charged pions produced ine+e− annihilation at 29 GeV, we observe a significant dip in the rapidity distributions aty≈0 for events with low sphericity. A comparison of data with several QCD-based phenomenological models strongly suggests that this structure is related to the emission of multiple soft and/or collinear gluons.

abstract: The results are reported of a search for excited muons (..mu..*) and electrons (e*) and for a stable charged heavy lepton by measurements of the e/sup +/e/sup -/..--> mu../sup +/..mu../sup -/, ..mu../sup +/..mu../sup -/..gamma.., ..mu../sup +/..mu../sup -/..gamma gamma.., and ..gamma gamma.. final states. Excluded are large regions of the lambda (coupling constant), M (mass) planes for spin-(1/2) ..mu..* and e*, and a new stable charged heavy lepton with mass<14 GeV.

title: Galaxy clustering and dark energy
abstract: We study the evolution of galaxy clustering in various cosmological models with quintessence. We investigate how the analytical predictions vary with the change of the dark energy equation of state wX. Comparing these predictions against available data, we discuss to what extent the problems of galaxy biasing can be modelled. This will be key in constraining the dark energy equation of state with future galaxy surveys. We use a compilation of various surveys to study the number density and amplitude of galaxy clustering from observations of the local universe at z∼ 0 to that of the Lyman-break galaxies and Ly α emitters at z∼ 4.9. We find that there is a degeneracy between the dark energy equation of state and the way galaxies populate dark matter haloes; objects are more biased in models with more negative values of dark energy equation of state wX. 
 
 
 
We conclude that, while future all-sky cosmic microwave background observations will determine cosmological parameters with unprecedented precision, and cross-correlation of weak lensing experiments and galaxy surveys will provide a cleaner and more accurate picture of bias associated with collapsed objects, the rate of growth of large-scale structure in such surveys can potentially constrain the equation of state of dark energy and the potential of the scalar field associated with quintessence. In particular, we show that the abundance and spatial distribution of galaxy clusters at intermediate redshifts strongly depend on the dark energy equation of state. When accurate measurement of galaxy clustering at high redshift becomes possible, it will provide constraints on dark energy that are independent and complementary to Type Ia supernova studies.

title: Current progress of nuclear astrophysical reaction and decay study at CIAE
abstract: Presented here was current progress of the study of nuclear astrophysical reaction and decay at CIAE. We studied astrophysical 12N(p,γ)13O reaction through the measurement of the 12N(d,n)13O angular distribution in inverse kinematics. Our result is in agreement with that from the 14N(12N,13O)13C reaction and two shell model calculations. We also measured the angular distributions of single neutron transfer reaction of 7Li(6Li,7Li)6Li, and derived the reaction cross section for 6Li(n,γ)7Li by using the present spectroscopic factor. The astrophysical reaction rate is found to be higher by a factor of 1.7 than the value adopted in previous reaction network calculations. In addition, half-life of 147Sm in metal samarium and Sm2O3 was measured. No significant change has been observed within the experimental uncertainty.

title: CENTRALITY, SYSTEM SIZE AND ENERGY DEPENDENCE OF CHARGED PARTICLE PSEUDORAPIDITY DISTRIBUTION
abstract: Utilizing the three-fireball picture within the quark combination model, we study systematically the charged particle pseudorapidity distributions in both Au + Au and Cu + Cu collision systems as a function of collision centrality and energy, , 62.4, 130 and 200 GeV, in the full pseudorapidity range. We find that: (i) the contribution from leading particles to dNch/dη distributions increases with the decrease of the collision centrality and energy respectively; (ii) the number of leading particles is almost independent of the collision energy, but it does depend on the nucleon participants Npart; (iii) if Cu + Cu and Au + Au collisions at the same collision energy are selected to have the same Npart, the resulting charged particle dN/dη distributions are nearly identical, in both the midrapidity particle density and the width of the distribution; this is true for both 62.4 GeV and 200 GeV data; (iv) the limiting fragmentation phenomenon is reproduced. We predict the total multiplicity and pseudorapidity distribution for the charged particles in Pb + Pb collisions at . Finally, we give a qualitative analysis of Nch/〈Npart/2〉 and dNch/dη/〈Npart/2〉|η≈0 as a function of and Npart from the RHIC to the LHC.
