FURTHER CALCULATIONS ON GROUND-STATE PROPERTIES OF ODD-Z SUPERHEAVY NUCLEI
We have investigated the ground-state properties of odd-Z superheavy isotopes with even neutron numbers in previous article ( (2003)). In this work we extend the previous researches to the ground-state properties of odd-Z isotopic chains with odd neutron numbers. This covers the isotopic chains with Z = 109 - 115 which are current interests of experiments. The ground state properties of these odd-Z superheavy nuclei have been systematically calculated by deformed relativistic mean-field model (RMF) with two sets of force parameters TMA and NL-Z2. The theoretical results from the RMF model are compared with those from the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock model (SHF). The binding energies of two models are in good agreement with each other, but the quadrupole deformations show model dependence in some mass regions. The alpha decay energies from the two theoretical models are also compared with recent experimental data, which include three alpha decay chains of superheavy elements 115 and 113. The reasonable agreement shows the validity of the self-consistent mean-field models for superheavy mass region.

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: 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: 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: 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: Inclusive jet cross sections and dijet correlations in D photoproduction at HERA
abstract: Inclusive jet cross sections in photoproduction for events containing a D ∗ D ∗ meson have been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 78.6 pb −1 78.6 pb −1 . The events were required to have a virtuality of the incoming photon, Q 2 Q 2 , of less than 1 GeV 2 , and a photon–proton centre-of-mass energy in the range 130 γp 130 W γ p 280 GeV . The measurements are compared with next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD calculations. Good agreement is found with the NLO calculations over most of the measured kinematic region. Requiring a second jet in the event allowed a more detailed comparison with QCD calculations. The measured dijet cross sections are also compared to Monte Carlo (MC) models which incorporate leading-order matrix elements followed by parton showers and hadronisation. The NLO QCD predictions are in general agreement with the data although differences have been isolated to regions where contributions from higher orders are expected to be significant. The MC models give a better description than the NLO predictions of the shape of the measured cross sections.

title: Forward jet production in deep inelastic ep scattering and low-x parton dynamics at HERA
abstract: Differential inclusive jet cross sections in neutral current deep inelastic ep scattering have been measured with the ZEUS detector using an integrated luminosity of 38.7 pb −1 . The jets have been identified using the k T cluster algorithm in the longitudinally invariant inclusive mode in the laboratory frame; they have been selected with jet transverse energy, E T jet above 6 GeV and jet pseudorapidity, η jet , between −1 and 3. Measurements of cross sections as functions of E T jet , Bjorken x and the photon virtuality, Q 2 , are presented. Three phase-space regions have been selected in order to study parton dynamics from the most global to the most restrictive region of forward-going (close to the proton-beam direction) jets at low x , where the effects of BFKL evolution might be present. The measurements have been compared to the predictions of leading-logarithm parton-shower Monte Carlo models and fixed-order perturbative QCD calculations. In the forward region, O ( α s 1 ) QCD calculations underestimate the data up to an order of magnitude at low x . An improved description of the data in this region is obtained by including O ( α s 2 ) QCD corrections, which account for the lowest-order t ˆ -channel gluon-exchange diagrams, highlighting the importance of such terms in the parton dynamics at low x .

title: Measurement of isolated photons accompanied by jets in deep inelastic ep scattering
abstract: The production of isolated high-energy photons accompanied by jets has been measured in deep inelastic ep scattering with the ZEUS detector at HERA, using an integrated luminosity of 326pb -1 . Measurements were made for exchanged photon virtualities, Q 2 , in the range 10 to 350GeV 2 . The photons were measured in the transverse-energy and pseudorapidity ranges 4 γ jet <1.8. Differential cross sections are presented as functions of these quantities. Perturbative QCD predictions give a reasonable description of the shape of the measured cross sections over most of the kinematic range, but the absolute normalisation is typically in disagreement by 20-30%.

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.
