An improved study of the kappa resonance and the non-exotic wave scatterings up to GeV of LASS data
We point out that the dispersion relation for the left hand cut integral
presented in one of our previous paper (Nucl. Phys. {\bf A}733(2004)235) is
actually free of subtraction constant, even for unequal mass elastic
scatterings. A new fit to the LASS data~\cite{Aston} is performed and firm
evidence for the existence of pole is found. The correct use of
analyticity also put strong constraints on threshold parameters -- which are
found to be in good agreement with those obtained from chiral theories. We also
determined the pole parameters of on the second sheet, and
reconfirm the existence of on the third sheet. We stress that the
LASS data do not require them to have the twin pole structure of a typical
Breit--Wigner resonance.Comment: 14 pages + 4 postscript figures; discussions largely expanded;

The resonance in s wave scatterings
A new unitarization approach incorporated with chiral symmetry is established
and applied to study the elastic scatterings. We demonstrate that the
resonance exists, if the scattering length parameter in the I=1/2, J=0
channel does not deviate much from its value predicted by chiral perturbation
theory. The mass and width of the resonance is found to be
, , obtained by fitting the
LASS data up to 1430MeV. Better determination to the pole parameters is
possible if the chiral predictions on scattering lengths are taken into
account.Comment: Minor corrections made on discussions and typos. 1 ref. added version

The sigma and f_0(980) from Ke4 + pi-pi scatterings data
We systematically reconsider, within an improved "analytic K-matrix model",
the extraction of the sigma = f_0(600) and f_0(980) masses, widths and hadronic
couplings using new Ke4 = K-->pi-pi e nu_e data on pi-pi phase shift below 390
MeV and different sets of pi-pi--> pi-pi / K-K scatterings data from 400 MeV to
1.4 GeV. Our results are summarized in Tables 1, 2 and 5. In units of MeV, the
complex poles are: M_sigma=452(12) - i 260(15) and M_f=981(34) -i 18(11), which
are comparable with some recent high-precision determinations and with PDG
values. Besides some other results, we find: |g_{sigma K+K-}|/|g_{sigma
pi+pi-}|=0.37(6) which confirms a sizeable g_{sigma K+K-} coupling found
earlier, and which disfavours a large pi-pi molecule or four-quark component of
the sigma, while its broad pi-pi width (relative to the one of the rho-meson)
cannot be explained within a \bar qq scenario. The narrow pi-pi width of the
f_0(980) and the large value: |g_{f K+K-}|/|g_{f pi+pi-}|=2.59(1.34), excludes
its pure (\bar uu+\bar dd) content. A significant gluonium component eventually
mixed with \bar qq appears to be necessary for evading the previous
difficulties.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures, 6 table
Effects of Acrylamide on the Activity and Structure of Human Brain Creatine Kinase
Acrylamide is widely used worldwide in industry and it can also be produced by the cooking and processing of foods. It is harmful to human beings, and human brain CK (HBCK) has been proposed to be one of the important targets of acrylamide. In this research, we studied the effects of acrylamide on HBCK activity, structure and the potential binding sites. Compared to CKs from rabbit, HBCK was fully inactivated at several-fold lower concentrations of acrylamide, and exhibited distinct properties upon acrylamide-induced inactivation and structural changes. The binding sites of acrylamide were located at the cleft between the N- and C-terminal domains of CK, and Glu232 was one of the key binding residues. The effects of acrylamide on CK were proposed to be isoenzyme- and species-specific, and the underlying molecular mechanisms were discussed
Light hadron, Charmonium(-like) and Bottomonium(-like) states
Hadron physics represents the study of strongly interacting matter in all its
manifestations and the understanding of its properties and interactions. The
interest on this field has been revitalized by the discovery of new light
hadrons, charmonium- and bottomonium-like states. I review the most recent
experimental results from different experiments.Comment: Presented at Lepton-Photon 2011, Mumbai, India; 21 pages, 18 figures;

Spectroscopy of Mesons with Heavy Quarks
I will give a concise overview of mesons with heavy quarks including p-wave
charmed mesons and charmonium (or charmonium-like) states such as X(3872),
Y(4260), X(3940), Y(3940), Z(3930) etc. The effect from the nearby S-wave open
channels on the quark model spectrum is emphasized.Comment: Plenary talk at INPC2007, http://inpc2007.riken.jp/P/P5-zhu.pd
Analysis of the X(1835) and related baryonium states with Bethe-Salpeter equation
In this article, we study the mass spectrum of the baryon-antibaryon bound
states , , ,

and with the Bethe-Salpeter
equation. The numerical results indicate that the ,
, , ,
, bound states maybe exist, and
the new resonances X(1835) and X(2370) can be tentatively identified as the
and (or ) bound states respectively
with some gluon constituents, and the new resonance X(2120) may be a
pseudoscalar glueball. On the other hand, the Regge trajectory favors
identifying the X(1835), X(2120) and X(2370) as the excited
mesons with the radial quantum numbers , 4 and 5, respectively.Comment: 13 pages, 2 figures, revise a numbe
A study of charged kappa in
Based on events collected by BESII, the decay
is studied. In the invariant mass
spectrum recoiling against the charged , the charged
particle is found as a low mass enhancement. If a Breit-Wigner function of
constant width is used to parameterize the kappa, its pole locates at MeV/. Also in this channel,
the decay is observed for the first time.
Its branching ratio is .Comment: 14 pages, 4 figure
Strong interface-induced spin-orbit coupling in graphene on WS2
Interfacial interactions allow the electronic properties of graphene to be
modified, as recently demonstrated by the appearance of satellite Dirac cones
in the band structure of graphene on hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) substrates.
Ongoing research strives to explore interfacial interactions in a broader class
of materials in order to engineer targeted electronic properties. Here we show
that at an interface with a tungsten disulfide (WS2) substrate, the strength of
the spin-orbit interaction (SOI) in graphene is very strongly enhanced. The
induced SOI leads to a pronounced low-temperature weak anti-localization (WAL)
effect, from which we determine the spin-relaxation time. We find that
spin-relaxation time in graphene is two-to-three orders of magnitude smaller on
WS2 than on SiO2 or hBN, and that it is comparable to the intervalley
scattering time. To interpret our findings we have performed first-principle
electronic structure calculations, which both confirm that carriers in
graphene-on-WS2 experience a strong SOI and allow us to extract a
spin-dependent low-energy effective Hamiltonian. Our analysis further shows
that the use of WS2 substrates opens a possible new route to access topological
states of matter in graphene-based systems.Comment: Originally submitted version in compliance with editorial guidelines.
