Dynamical study of the possible molecular state X(3872) with the s-channel one gluon exchange interaction
The recently observed X(3872) resonance, which is difficult to be assigned a
conventional charmonium state in the quark model, may be interpreted
as a molecular state. Such a molecular state is a hidden flavor four quark
state because of its charmonium-like quantum numbers. The s-channel one gluon
exchange is an interaction which only acts in the hidden flavor multi-quark
system. In this paper, we will study the X(3872) and other similiar hidden
flavor molecular states in a quark model by taking into account of the
s-channel one gluon exchange interaction
and the Higgs mass from high scale supersymmetry
In the framework in which supersymmetry is used for understanding fermion
masses rather than stabilizing the electroweak scale, we elaborate the
phenomenological analysis for the neutrino physics. A relatively large
is the natural result. The model further predicts
vanishingly small CP violation in neutrino oscillations. And is
not necessarily maximal. While the high scale supersymmetry generically results
in a Higgs mass of about 141 GeV, our model reduces this mass via introducing
SU(2) triplet fields which also contribute to neutrino masses.Comment: 13 pages, no figure, revtex4, revised versio
Fluctuations of Spatial Patterns as a Measure of Classical Chaos
In problems where the temporal evolution of a nonlinear system cannot be
followed, a method for studying the fluctuations of spatial patterns has been
developed. That method is applied to well-known problems in deterministic chaos
(the logistic map and the Lorenz model) to check its effectiveness in
characterizing the dynamical behaviors. It is found that the indices
are as useful as the Lyapunov exponents in providing a quantitative measure of
chaos.Comment: 10 pages + 7 figures (in ps file), LaTex, Submitted to Phys. Rev.
Effects of R-parity violating supersymmetry in top pair production at linear colliders with polarized beams
In the minimal supersymmetric standard model with R-parity violation, the
lepton number violating top quark interactions can contribute to the top pair
production at a linear collider via tree-level u-channel squark exchange
diagrams. We calculate such contributions and find that in the allowed range of
these R-violating couplings, the top pair production rate as well as the top
quark polarization and the forward-backward asymmetry can be significantly
altered. By comparing the unpolarized beams with the polarized beams, we find
that the polarized beams are more powerful in probing such new physics.Comment: 10 pages, 6 fig
Optically Thin Metallic Films for High-radiative-efficiency Plasmonics
Plasmonics enables deep-subwavelength concentration of light and has become
important for fundamental studies as well as real-life applications. Two major
existing platforms of plasmonics are metallic nanoparticles and metallic films.
Metallic nanoparticles allow efficient coupling to far field radiation, yet
their synthesis typically leads to poor material quality. Metallic films offer
substantially higher quality materials, but their coupling to radiation is
typically jeopardized due to the large momentum mismatch with free space. Here,
we propose and theoretically investigate optically thin metallic films as an
ideal platform for high-radiative-efficiency plasmonics. For far-field
scattering, adding a thin high-quality metallic substrate enables a higher
quality factor while maintaining the localization and tunability that the
nanoparticle provides. For near-field spontaneous emission, a thin metallic
substrate, of high quality or not, greatly improves the field overlap between
the emitter environment and propagating surface plasmons, enabling high-Purcell
(total enhancement > ), high-quantum-yield (> 50 %) spontaneous emission,
even as the gap size vanishes (35 nm). The enhancement has almost
spatially independent efficiency and does not suffer from quenching effects
that commonly exist in previous structures.Comment: Supporting Information not included but freely available from

Spatiotemporal Fluctuation Induced Transition in a Tumor Model with Immune Surveillance
We report on a simple model of spatial extend anti-tumor system with a
fluctuation in growth rate, which can undergo a nonequilibrium phase
transition. Three states as excited, sub-excited and non-excited states of a
tumor are defined to describe its growth. The multiplicative noise is found to
be double-face: The positive effect on a non-excited tumor and the negative
effect on an excited tumor.Comment: 8pages,5figure
Precise Measurement of Gravity Variations During a Total Solar Eclipse
The variations of gravity were measured with a high precision LaCoste-Romberg
D gravimeter during a total solar eclipse to investigate the effect of solar
eclipse on the gravitational field. The observed anomaly m/s during the eclipse implies that there may be a shielding
property of gravitation
Financial rogue waves
The financial rogue waves are reported analytically in the nonlinear option
pricing model due to Ivancevic, which is nonlinear wave alternative of the
Black-Scholes model. These solutions may be used to describe the possible
physical mechanisms for rogue wave phenomenon in financial markets and related
fields.Comment: 4 papges, 2 figures, Final version accepted in Commun. Theor. Phys.,
