The topological AC effect on noncommutative phase space
The Aharonov-Casher (AC) effect in non-commutative(NC) quantum mechanics is
studied. Instead of using the star product method, we use a generalization of
Bopp's shift method. After solving the Dirac equations both on noncommutative
space and noncommutative phase space by the new method, we obtain the
corrections to AC phase on NC space and NC phase space respectively.Comment: 8 pages, Latex fil
Matrix Models
Matrix models and their connections to String Theory and noncommutative
geometry are discussed. Various types of matrix models are reviewed. Most of
interest are IKKT and BFSS models. They are introduced as 0+0 and 1+0
dimensional reduction of Yang--Mills model respectively. They are obtained via
the deformations of string/membrane worldsheet/worldvolume. Classical solutions
leading to noncommutative gauge models are considered.Comment: Lectures given at the Winter School on Modern Trends in

Correlation dynamics between electrons and ions in the fragmentation of D molecules by short laser pulses
We studied the recollision dynamics between the electrons and D ions
following the tunneling ionization of D molecules in an intense short pulse
laser field. The returning electron collisionally excites the D ion to
excited electronic states from there D can dissociate or be further
ionized by the laser field, resulting in D + D or D + D,
respectively. We modeled the fragmentation dynamics and calculated the
resulting kinetic energy spectrum of D to compare with recent experiments.
Since the recollision time is locked to the tunneling ionization time which
occurs only within fraction of an optical cycle, the peaks in the D kinetic
energy spectra provides a measure of the time when the recollision occurs. This
collision dynamics forms the basis of the molecular clock where the clock can
be read with attosecond precision, as first proposed by Corkum and coworkers.
By analyzing each of the elementary processes leading to the fragmentation
quantitatively, we identified how the molecular clock is to be read from the
measured kinetic energy spectra of D and what laser parameters be used in
order to measure the clock more accurately.Comment: 13 pages with 14 figure
Search for Invisible Decays of and in and
Using a data sample of decays collected with the BES

Observation of Two New N* Peaks in J/psi -> and Decays
The system in decays of is limited to be
isospin 1/2 by isospin conservation. This provides a big advantage in studying
compared with and experiments which mix
isospin 1/2 and 3/2 for the system. Using 58 million decays
collected with the Beijing Electron Positron Collider, more than 100 thousand
events are obtained. Besides two well known
peaks at 1500 MeV and 1670 MeV, there are two new, clear peaks in
the invariant mass spectrum around 1360 MeV and 2030 MeV. They are the
first direct observation of the peak and a long-sought "missing"
peak above 2 GeV in the invariant mass spectrum. A simple
Breit-Wigner fit gives the mass and width for the peak as MeV and MeV, and for the new peak above 2 GeV
as MeV and MeV, respectively

BEPC collider, we have measured the observed cross sections for 12 exclusive
