Probing Electroweak Symmetry Breaking Mechanism at the LHC: A Guideline from Power Counting Analysis
We formulate the equivalence theorem as a theoretical criterion for
sensitively probing the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism, and develop a
precise power counting method for the chiral Lagrangian formulated electroweak
theories. Armed with these, we perform a systematic analysis on the
sensitivities of the scattering processes
and for testing all possible effective bosonic
operators in the chiral Lagrangian formulated electroweak theories at the CERN
Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The analysis shows that these two kinds of
processes are "complementary" in probing the electroweak symmetry breaking
sector.Comment: Extended version, 11-page-Latex-file and 3 separate PS-Figs. To be

Search for via the transition at LHCb and factory
It is interesting to study the characteristics of the whole family of
which contains two different heavy flavors. LHC and the proposed factory
provide an opportunity because a large database on the family will be
achieved. and its excited states can be identified via their decay modes.
As suggested by experimentalists, is not easy to be
clearly measured, instead, the trajectories of and occurring in
the decay of () can be unambiguously
identified, thus the measurement seems easier and more reliable, therefore this
mode is more favorable at early running stage of LHCb and the proposed
factory. In this work, we calculate the rate of
in terms of the QCD multipole-expansion and the numerical results indicate that
the experimental measurements with the luminosity of LHC and factory are
feasible.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figures and 4 tables, acceptted by SCIENCE CHINA Physics,

Complex Behavior in Simple Models of Biological Coevolution
We explore the complex dynamical behavior of simple predator-prey models of
biological coevolution that account for interspecific and intraspecific
competition for resources, as well as adaptive foraging behavior. In long
kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of these models we find quite robust 1/f-like
noise in species diversity and population sizes, as well as power-law
distributions for the lifetimes of individual species and the durations of
quiet periods of relative evolutionary stasis. In one model, based on the
Holling Type II functional response, adaptive foraging produces a metastable
low-diversity phase and a stable high-diversity phase.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure
