Quark Model Study of The eta Photoproduction: Evidence for a New S11 Resonance?
An extensive and systematic study of the recent eta photoproduction data up
to 1.2 GeV is presented within a chiral constituent quark model. A model
embodying all known nucleonic resonances shows clear need for a yet
undiscovered third S11 resonance in the second resonance region, for which we
determine the mass (1.729 GeV) and the total width (183 MeV). Furthermore, we
extract the configuration mixing angles, an important property of the
quark-quark interaction in the quark model, for the resonances S11(1535) and
S11(1650), as well as for the resonances D13(1520) and D13(1700). Our results
agree well with the quark model predictions. In addition, the partial eta N
decay widths and/or the photo-excitation helicity amplitudes for the nucleonic
resonances S11(1535), S11(1650), P11(1710), P13(1720), D13(1520), D13(1700),
D15(1675), and F15(1680) are also obtained in this approach.Comment: 25 pages, 5 figures, submitted to Eur. Phys.
Critical exponents of the two-layer Ising model
The symmetric two-layer Ising model (TLIM) is studied by the corner transfer
matrix renormalisation group method. The critical points and critical exponents
are calculated. It is found that the TLIM belongs to the same universality
class as the Ising model. The shift exponent is calculated to be 1.773, which
is consistent with the theoretical prediction 1.75 with 1.3% deviation.Comment: 7 pages, with 10 figures include
Dynamic Monte Carlo Study of the Two-Dimensional Quantum XY Model
We present a dynamic Monte Carlo study of the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase
transition for the spin-1/2 quantum XY model in two dimensions. The short-time
dynamic scaling behaviour is found and the dynamical exponent , and
the static exponent are determined at the transition temperature.Comment: 6 pages with 3 figure

The missing-measurement phenomenon is assumed to occur in a random way, and the missing probability is time-varying with securable upper and lower bounds that can be measured in real time. The multiplicative noise is a state-dependent scalar Gaussian white-noise sequence with known variance. The addressed gain-scheduled filtering problem is concerned with the design of a filter such that, for the admissible random missing measurements, nonlinear parameters, and external noise disturbances, the error dynamics is exponentially mean-square stable. The desired filter is equipped with time-varying gains based primarily on the time-varying missing probability and is therefore less conservative than the traditional filter with fixed gains. It is shown that the filter parameters can be derived in terms of the measurable probability via the semidefinite program method.This work was supported in part by the Leverhulme Trust of the U.K., the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) of the U.K. under Grant GR/S27658/01, the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants 61028008, 61074016 and 60974030, the Shanghai Natural
