Chiral extrapolation of octet-baryon charge radii
The charge radii of octet-baryons obtained in quenched lattice-QCD calculations are extrapolated within heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory. Finite-range regularization is applied to improve the convergence of the chiral expansion and to provide estimates of quenching artifacts. Lattice values of quark distribution radii and baryon charge radii for ${m}_{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{2}$ in the range $(0.1,0.7)\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{GeV}}^{2}$ are described very well with finite-range regularization. Upon estimating corrections for both finite-volume and quenching effects, the obtained charge radii of the proton, neutron and ${\ensuremath{\Sigma}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ are in good agreement with experimental measurements. The predicted charge radii of the remaining octet-baryons have not yet been measured and present a challenge to future experiments.

title: Strange hadronic matter in a chiral model
abstract: The strange hadronic matter with nucleon, Λ-hyperon and Ξ-hyperon is studied by using a chiral symmetry model in a mean-field approximation. The saturation properties and stabilities of the strange hadronic matter are discussed. The result indicates a quite large strangeness fraction (fS) region where the strange hadronic matter is stable against particle emission. In the large fS region, the Ξ component dominates, resulting in a deep minimum in the curve of the binding energy per baryon EB versus the strangeness fraction fS with (EB, fS) (-26.0 MeV, 1.23).

title: Nucleon magnetic form factors with non-local chiral effective Lagrangian
abstract: Chiral perturbation theory is a useful method to investigate the hadron properties. We apply the non-local chiral effective Lagrangian to study the nucleon magnetic form factors. The octet and decuplet intermediate states are included in the one-loop calculation. With the modified propagators and non-local interaction, the loop integral is convergent. The obtained proton and neutron magnetic form factors are both reasonable up to relatively large Q2.

title: An Extended Chiral SU(3) Quark Model
abstract: The chiral SU(3) quark model is extended by including the vector meson exchanges to describe the short range interactions. The phase shifts of NN scattering are studied in this model. Compared with the results of the chiral SU(3) quark model in which only the pseudo-scalar and scalar chiral fields are considered, the phase shifts of 1S0 wave are obviously improved.

title: Chiral symmetry restoration of nuclear matter
abstract: The phase transition of chiral symmetry restoration of nuclear matter is studied in the chiral SU(3) quark mean field model. For some kinds of confining potentials, there exists a critical density ρc. When the baryon density is larger than ρc, nuclear matter will be in the phase of chiral symmetry restoration. At critical density, the physical quantities change discontinuously. The critical density will become larger when the vector part of the confining potential increases.

title: Static three-body potential in baryons
abstract: The first principle of quantum chromodynamics is used to calculate the static perturbative three-body potential between three valence quarks in baryons, which is gauge invariant and flavor-dependent, and of magnitude of the same order as the next non-leading static q-q potential. Its effect on an S-state baryon composed of three valence quarks of equal mass may be viewed as a slight increase of the constituent quark masses with respect to those in mesons.

title: Quest for precision in hadronic cross sections at low energy: Monte Carlo tools vs. experimental data
abstract: We present the achievements of the last years of the experimental and theoretical groups working on hadronic cross section measurements at the low-energy e+e− colliders in Beijing, Frascati, Ithaca, Novosibirsk, Stanford and Tsukuba and on τ decays. We sketch the prospects in these fields for the years to come. We emphasise the status and the precision of the Monte Carlo generators used to analyse the hadronic cross section measurements obtained as well with energy scans as with radiative return, to determine luminosities and τ decays. The radiative corrections fully or approximately implemented in the various codes and the contribution of the vacuum polarisation are discussed.

title: Measurement of $B^0 \to D_s^- K^0_S\pi^+$ and $B^+ \to D_s^- K^+K^+$ branching fractions
abstract: We report a measurement of the $B^0$ and $B^+$ meson decays to the $D_s^-K^0_S \pi^+$ and $D_s^- K^+K^+$ final states, respectively, using $657 \times 10^{6} B\overline{B}$ pairs collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. Using the $D_s^-\to \phi\pi^-$, $K^{*}(892)^0 K^-$ and $K^0_S K^-$ decay modes for the $D_s$ reconstruction, we measure the following branching fractions: ${\cal B}(B^0\to D_s^{-}K^0_S\pi^+)=[0.47 \pm 0.06 (\mathrm {stat}) \pm 0.05 (\mathrm {syst})]\times 10^{-4}$ and ${\cal B}(B^+\to D_s^-K^+K^+)= [0.93 \pm 0.22 (\mathrm {stat})\pm 0.10 (\mathrm {syst})]\times 10^{-5}$. We find the ratio of the branching fraction of $B^+\to D_s^-K^+K^+$ to that of the analogous Cabibbo favored $B^+\to D_s^-K^+\pi^+$ decay to be ${\cal R}_{\cal B} = 0.054 \pm 0.013 ({\rm stat}) \pm 0.006 ({\rm syst})$, which is consistent with the na\"{\i}ve factorization model. We also observe a deviation from the three-body phase-space model for both studied decays.

title: NN interactions in the extended chiral SU(3) quark model
abstract: The chiral SU (3) quark model is extended to include coupling between vector chiral field and quarks. By using this model, the phase shifts of NN scattering for different partial waves are studied. The results are very similar to those of the chiral SU (3) quark model calculation, in which one gluon exchange (OGE) plays dominate role in the short range part of the quark–quark interactions. Only in the 1 S 0 case, the one channel phase shifts of the extended chiral SU (3) quark model are obviously improved.
