Study of neutron generation from relativistic heavy ion interactions
Study has been carried out on neutron generation in the interactions of 44 and 18 GeV 12 C with Cu-and Pb-targets. The properties studied include, (1) Relative yields of secondary neutrons generated in 44 GeV versus in 18 GeV 12 C bombardment to Cu target and also to Pb target. The ratios of these are 2.12±0.19 and 2.04±0.15, respectively, which is nearly in consistence with but somewhat larger than the values of theoretical calculations for Cu target. (2) Relative yields of secondary neutrons produced in Pb target versus in Cu target. The ratios obtained are 2.54±0.20 and 2.56±0.20 for 44 GeV and 18 GeV, respectively. More neutrons are generated in Pb target than in Cu target.

title: High power CW linac in PNC
abstract: Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation (PNC) is developing a high power electron linac for various applications. The electron beam is accelerated in CW operation to get maximum beam current of 100 mA and energy of 10 MeV. Crucial components such as a high power L-band klystron and a high power traveling wave resonant ring(TWRR) accelerator guides were designed and manufactured and their performance were examined. These design and results from the recent high power RF tests were described in this paper.<<ETX>>

title: A Monitor Having Lots of Functions for a Linac with Feedback
abstract: In our 20 Mev electron linear accelerator with feedback we use a detector in the feedback loop to observe a microwave envelope which includes a lot of information. Under the accelerator operating condition from the micro wave envelope we can monitor the frequency, power, phase and beam loading and calculate the attenuation constant, group velocity, filling time and the field multiplication factor. We can also observe some unstable phenomena.

title: Investigation of neutron spectrum emitted from 44 GeV 12C+Cu interactions with nuclear emulsion
abstract: The Energy Spectrum of fast neutrons produced in 44 GeV 12 C+Cu interactions has been measured and analysed with nuclear emulsion of 8 cm in length, 2.2 cm in width and 400 μm in thickness made in China Institute of Atomic Energy, Beijing, China. The irradiation of the emulsion was carried out at the accelerator SYNCHROPHASOTRON of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, Russia. The neutron spectrum was obtained through measuring the recoil protons in emulsion and the track parameters of α particles from interactions of 12 C(n,n′)3α in emulsion. The experimental neutron spectrum was compared with the results of a Monte-Carlo calculation, which shows that the shapes of both neutron spectra are identical within the limits of their statistical accuracy.

title: Energy and fluence determination of fast neutrons from 44 GeV 12C + Cu interactions by CR-39 detector stack
abstract: Copious amounts of fast neutrons are produced in relativistic heavy ion interactions, which bring about information on the mechanisms of relativistic heavy ion interactions and could constitute considerable radiation hazard. In order to determine their energy and yield, we have detected with a CR-39 detector stack neutrons produced in 44 GeV 12 C + Cu interactions at the SYNCHROPHASOTRON, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), Dubna, USSR and the neutrons from 400 keV d + T reactions at the Cockroft-Walton, China Institute of Atomic Energy, Beijing, China, for comparison.

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.

title: ACOUSTIC BLACK HOLES FROM SUPERCURRENT TUNNELING
abstract: We present a version of acoustic black holes by using the principle of the Josephson effect. We find that in the case where two superconductors A and B are separated by an insulating barrier, an acoustic black hole may be created in the middle region between the two superconductors. We discuss in detail how to describe an acoustic black hole in the Josephson junction and write the metric in the language of the superconducting electronics. Our final results infer that for big enough tunneling current and thickness of the junction, experimental verification of the Hawking temperature could be possible.

title: Hadron collider signatures for new interactions of top and bottom quarks
abstract: One of the main goals for hadron colliders is the study of the properties of the third generation quarks. We study the signatures for new TeV resonances that couple to top or bottom quarks both at the Tevatron Run II and at the CERN LHC. We find that in the simplest production processes of Drell-Yan type at the Tevatron, the signals are overwhelmed by QCD backgrounds. We also find that it is possible to study these resonances when they are produced in association with a pair of heavy quarks or in association with a single top at the LHC. In particular, with an integrated luminosity of 300 fb(-1) at the LHC, it is possible to probe resonance masses up to around 2 TeV.

title: The Influence of Radial Stellar Migration on the Chemical Evolution of the Milky Way
abstract: Stellar migration is an important dynamical process in the Galactic disk. Here we model radial stellar migration in the Galactic disk with an analytical method, then add it to a detailed Galactic chemical evolution model to study the influence of radial stellar migration on the chemical evolution of the Milky Way, especially for the abundance gradients. We found that the radial stellar migration in the Galactic disk can make the profile of the G-dwarf metallicity distribution of the solar neighborhood taller and narrower, and thus it becomes another solution to the "G-dwarf problem." It can also scatter the age-metallicity relation. However, after migration, the abundance distributions along the Galactic radius do not change much; namely, the abundance gradients would not be flattened by the radial stellar migration, which is different from the predictions of many theoretical works. However, it can flatten the radial gradients of the mean chemical abundance of stars, and older stars possess flatter abundance gradients than younger stars. The most significant effect of radial stellar migration on the chemical abundance is that at a certain position it scatters the abundance of stars from a relatively concentrated value to a range.

title: First observation of the isospin violating decay $J/\psi\rightarrow \Lambda\bar{\Sigma}^{0}+c.c.$
abstract: Using a sample of $(225.2\pm 2.8)\times 10^6$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we present results of a study of $J/\psi\rightarrow \gamma\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ and report the first observation of the isospin violating decay $J/\psi\rightarrow\Lambda\bar{\Sigma}^{0}+c.c.$, in which $\bar{\Sigma}^{0}$ decays to $\gamma \bar{\Lambda}$. The measured branching fractions are $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\rightarrow\bar{\Lambda}\Sigma^{0}$) = $(1.46\pm0.11\pm0.12) \times10^{-5}$ and $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\rightarrow\Lambda\bar{\Sigma^{0}}$) = $(1.37\pm0.12\pm0.11) \times10^{-5}$. We search for $\Lambda(1520) \rightarrow \gamma \Lambda$ decay, and find no evident signal, and an upper limit for the product branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\rightarrow\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}(1520)+c.c.)\times \mathcal{B}(\Lambda(1520)\rightarrow\gamma\Lambda)<4.1 \times10^{-6}$ is set at the 90% confidence level. We also report the observation of $\eta_{c}\rightarrow\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ in $J/\psi \rightarrow \gamma \eta_{c}$, $\eta_{c}\rightarrow\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ and measure the branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(\eta_{c}\rightarrow\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}) =(1.16\pm0.12 (stat)\pm0.19(syst)\pm0.28(PDG))\times10^{-3}$.
