New color-octet vector boson revisited
Motivated by CDF recent measurements on di-jet invariant mass spectrum where di-jet is associated production with charged leptons ($e/\mu$) and missing energy, we re-examine the previous proposed massive color-octet axial-vector-like boson $Z_c$. Our simulation showed that the di-jet bump around 120-160 GeV can be induced by $Z_c$ with effective coupling $g_{Z_c q \bar q} =0.2 g_s$ (q represents the quark other than top and $g_s$ is the strong coupling constant). Moreover our numerical investigation indicated that the top quark forward-backward asymmetry $A_{FB}^t$ can be reproduced without distorting shape of differential cross section $d\sigma/d M_{t\bar t}$, provided that the $Z_c$ and top quark coupling is appropriately chosen ($g_{Z_c t \bar t} \simeq 4.5 g_{Z_c q \bar q}$). Our results also showed that the theoretical $A_{FB}^t$ as functions of $\Delta y$ and $M_{t\bar t}$ can be consistent with data within $1\sigma$ and $1.8\sigma$ respectively.

title: Physics at BES-III
abstract: This physics book provides detailed discussions on important topics in $\tau$-charm physics that will be explored during the next few years at \bes3 . Both theoretical and experimental issues are covered, including extensive reviews of recent theoretical developments and experimental techniques. Among the subjects covered are: innovations in Partial Wave Analysis (PWA), theoretical and experimental techniques for Dalitz-plot analyses, analysis tools to extract absolute branching fractions and measurements of decay constants, form factors, and CP-violation and \DzDzb-oscillation parameters. Programs of QCD studies and near-threshold tau-lepton physics measurements are also discussed.

title: Study of the data taking strategy for a high precision τ mass measurement
abstract: To achieve a high precision τ mass measurement at the high luminosity experiment BESIII, Monte Carlo simulation and sampling technique are utilized to simulate various data taking cases for single and multi-parameter fits by virtue of which the optimal scheme is determined. The optimized proportion of luminosity distributed at selected points and the relation between precision and luminosity are obtained. In addition, the optimization of the fit scheme is confirmed by scrutinizing a variety of fit possibilities.

title: New Color-Octet Vector Boson?
abstract: Both CDF and D0 at Tevatron reported the measurements of forward-backward asymmetry in top pair production, which showed possible deviation from the standard model QCD prediction. In this paper, we show that a new color-octet massive vector boson with mass just above twice that of top quark can simultaneously account for the asymmetry and differential distribution $d\sigma/dM_{t\bar t}$ in top pair production, without conflict with other measurements for example di-jet production. The new particle can be discovered and studied at the more powerful Large Hadron Collider.

title: $\mathscr{O}(100 GeV)$ Deci-weak $W^\prime/Z^\prime$ at Tevatron and LHC
abstract: Recently Tevatron released their measurements on invariant mass spectrum of electron/positron, as well as the di-jet arising from WW+WZ production with one W leptonically decay. Though the statistics is not significant, there are two bumps around 240 GeV and 120-160 GeV respectively. We proposed that the two bumps correspond to the extra light gauge bosons $Z^\prime$ and $W^\prime$, which couple with quarks with the deci-weak strength. In this brief report, we also simulated di-jet invariant mass distribution at the current running LHC.

title: Transverse-Momentum Resummation for Gauge Boson Pair Production at the Hadron Collider
abstract: We perform the transverse-momentum resummation for $W^{+}W^{-}$, $ZZ$, and $W^{\pm}Z$ pair productions at the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy using soft-collinear effective theory for $\sqrt{S}=8 \text{TeV}$ and $\sqrt{S}=14 \text{TeV}$ at the LHC, respectively. Especially, this is the first calculation of $W^{\pm}Z$ transverse-momentum resummation. We also include the non-perturbative effects and discussions on the PDF uncertainties. Comparing with the next-to-leading logarithmic results, the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic resummation can reduce the dependence of the transverse-momentum distribution on the factorization scales significantly. Finally, we find that our numerical results are consistent with data measured by CMS collaboration for the $ZZ$ production, which have been only reported by the LHC experiments for the unfolded transverse-momentum distribution of the gauge boson pair production so far, within theoretical and experimental uncertainties.

title: Search for Neutral Charmless B-Decays at Lep
abstract: A search for rare charmless decays of B d 0 and B s 0 mesons has been performed in the exclusive channels B d(s) 0 → ηη , B d(s) 0 → ηπ 0 and B d(s) 0 → π 0 π 0 . The data sample consisted of three million hadronic Z decays collected by the L3 experiment at LEP from 1991 through 1994. No candidate event has been observed and the following upper limits at 90% confidence level on the branching ratios have been set: Br ( B () d → ηη ) x 10 −4 , Br ( B () s → ηη ) x 10 −3 , Br ( B () d → ηφ () ) x 10 −4 , Br ( B () s → ηphi ; () ) x 10 −3 , Br ( B () d → phi ; () phi ; () ) x 10 −5 , Br ( B () s → phi ; () phi ; () ) x 10 −4 . These are the first experimental limits on B d 0 →ηη and on the B s 0 neutral charmless modes.

title: Model-independent Constraints on Dark Energy Density from Flux-averaging Analysis of Type Ia Supernova Data
abstract: We reconstruct the dark energy density X(z) as a free function from current Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) data, together with the cosmic microwave background (CMB) shift parameter from CMB data from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), Cosmic Background Imager (CBI), and Arcminute Cosmology Bolometer Array Receiver (ACBAR), and the large-scale structure (LSS) growth factor from the Two-Degree Field (2dF) galaxy survey data. We parameterize X(z) as a continuous function, given by interpolating its amplitudes at equally spaced z-values in the redshift range covered by SN Ia data, and a constant at larger z [where X(z) is only weakly constrained by CMB data]. We assume a flat universe and use the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique in our analysis. We find that the dark energy density X(z) is constant for 0<~z<~0.5 and increases with redshift z for 0.5<~z<~1 at a 68.3% confidence level, but is consistent with a constant at a 95% confidence level. For comparison, we also give constraints on a constant equation of state for the dark energy. Flux averaging of SN Ia data is required to yield cosmological parameter constraints that are free of the bias induced by weak gravitational lensing. We set up a consistent framework for flux-averaging analysis of SN Ia data, based on the work of Wang. We find that flux averaging of SN Ia data leads to slightly lower m and smaller time variation in X(z). This suggests that a significant increase in the number of SNe Ia from deep SN surveys on a dedicated telescope is needed to place a robust constraint on the time dependence of the dark energy density.

title: Transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution/fragmentation functions at an electron-ion collider
abstract: We present a summary of a recent workshop held at Duke University on Partonic Transverse Momentum in Hadrons: Quark Spin-Orbit Correlations and Quark-Gluon Interactions. The transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs), parton-to-hadron fragmentation functions, and multi-parton correlation functions, were discussed extensively at the Duke workshop. In this paper, we summarize first the theoretical issues concerning the study of partonic structure of hadrons at a future electron-ion collider (EIC) with emphasis on the TMDs. We then present simulation results on experimental studies of TMDs through measurements of single-spin asymmetries (SSA) from semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) processes with an EIC, and discuss the requirement of the detector for SIDIS measurements. The dynamics of parton correlations in the nucleon is further explored via a study of SSA in D ($ \bar{{D}}$ production at large transverse momenta with the aim of accessing the unexplored tri-gluon correlation functions. The workshop participants identified the SSA measurements in SIDIS as a golden program to study TMDs in both the sea and valence quark regions and to study the role of gluons, with the Sivers asymmetry measurements as examples. Such measurements will lead to major advancement in our understanding of TMDs in the valence quark region, and more importantly also allow for the investigation of TMDs in the unexplored sea quark region along with a study of their evolution.
