Quantum Mechanical Analysis of Sodium Alginate Effects on the Konjac Glucomannan Stability

Konjac glucomannan （KGM） and sodium alginate were chosen as the research objects, and the hydrogen bond conformation of compound system was studied with the molecular dynamics simulation, which simulated the energy variety in composite process. Combining with Hamiltonian in quantum mechanics calculation, the mechanism of hydrogen bond in KGM and sodium alginate compound system stability was analyzed from a micro angle. The results showed that, the hydrogen bonds occurring between the molecule of KGM and sodium alginate are in large number, and they mainly appeared between the -OH on C（6）, C（3） in the mannose residues of KGM and C（2）, C（3） of sodium alginate. The formation of hydrogen bonds results in the energy expectation value of the Hamiltonian thermal density matrix of the compound system to be negative, the energy of the system to decrease, and the compounds tending to form stable conformations.

Exploring J/ψ Production Mechanism at the Future Electron-Ion Collider

We propose to use transverse momentum pT distribution of J/ψ production at the future Electron Ion Collider(EIC)to explore the production mechanism of heavy quarkonia in high energy collisions.We apply QCD and QED collinear factorization to the production of a cc pair at high pT,and non-relativistic QCD factorization to the hadronization of the pair to a J/ψ.We evaluate J/ψ pT-distribution at both leading and next-to-leading order in strong coupling,and show that production rates for various color-spin channels of a cc pair in electronhadron collisions are very different from that in hadron-hadron collisions,which provides a strong discriminative power to determine various transition rates for the pair to become a J/ψ.We predict that the J/ψproduced in electron-hadron collisions is likely unpolarized,and the production is an ideal probe for gluon distribution of colliding hadron(or nucleus).We find that the J/ψ production is dominated by the color-octet channel,providing an excellent probe to explore the gluon medium in large nuclei at the EIC.

Recent results on nucleon resonance electrocouplings from the studies of π^+π^-p electroproduction with the CLAS detector

Recent results on nucleon resonance studies in π＋π-p electro- production off protons with the CLAS detector are presented. The analysis of CLAS data allowed us to determine all essential contributiag mechanisms, providing a credible separation between resonant and non-resonant parts of the cross sections in a wide kinematical area of invariant masses of the final hadronic system 1.3 〈 W 〈 1.8 GeV and photon virtutualities 0.2 〈 Q2 〈 1.5 GeV2. Electrocouplings of several excited proton states with masses less than 1.8 GeV were obtained for the first time from the analysis of π＋π-p exclusive electroproduction channel.

Electromagnetic processes in a χEFT framework

Recently,we have derived a two–nucleon potential and consistent nuclear electromagnetic currents in chiral effective field theory with pions and nucleons as explicit degrees of freedom.The calculation of the currents has been carried out to include N 3 LO corrections,consisting of two–pion exchange and contact contributions.The latter involve unknown low-energy constants （LECs）,some of which have been fixed by fitting the np Sand P-wave phase shifts up to 100 MeV lab energies.The remaining LECs entering the current operator are determined so as to reproduce the experimental deuteron and trinucleon magnetic moments,as well as the np cross section.This electromagnetic current operator is utilized to study the nd and n 3 He radiative captures at thermal neutron energies.Here we discuss our results stressing on the important role played by the LECs in reproducing the experimental data.

N AND △ RESONANCES

I. Introduction The excited states of the nucleon have been studied in a large number of formation and production experiments. The Breit-Wigner masses and widths, the pole positions, and the elasticities of the N and A resonances in the Baryon Summary Table come largely from partial-wave analyses of πN total, elastic, and charge-exchange scattering data. The most comprehensive analyses were carried out by the Karlsruhe-Helsinki （KH80） [1], Carnegie Mellon-Berkeley （CMBS0） [2],

BOTTOM MESONS(B=±1)B^+=u,B^0=d,B^0=db,B^-=b,similarly for B~*'s

Many measurements of B decays involve admixtures of B hadrons. Previously we arbitrarily included such admixtures in the B±section, but because of their importance we have created two new sections：

p MASS （atomic mass units u）The mass is known much more precisely in u （atomic mass units） than in MeV. See the next data block.

REVIEW OF PARTICLE PHYSICS

The Review summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 3,283 new measurements from 899 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons and the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons, and baryons. We summarize searches for hypothetical particles such as heavy neutrinos, supersymmetric and technicolor particles, axions, dark photons, etc. All the particle properties and search limits are listed in Summary Tables. We also give numerous tables, figures, formulae, and reviews of topics such as Supersymmetry, Extra Dimensions, Particle Detectors, Probability, and Statistics. Among the 112 reviews are many that are new or heavily revised including those on： Dark Energy, Higgs Boson Physics, Electroweak Model, Neutrino Cross Section Measurements, Monte Carlo Neutrino Generators, Top Quark, Dark Matter, Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking, Accelerator Physics of Colliders, High-Energy Collider Parameters, Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, Astrophysical Constants and Cosmological Parameters. A booklet is available containing the Summary Tables and abbreviated versions of some of the other sections of this full Review. All tables, listings, and reviews （and errata） are also available on the Particle Data Group website： http ：//pdg. lbl. gov.

INTRODUCTION

1. Overview The Review of Particle Physics and the abbreviated version, the Particle Physics Booklet, are reviews of the field of Particle Physics. This complete Review includes a compilation/evaluation of data on particle properties, called the ＂Particle Listings.＂ These Listings include 3,283 new measurements from 899 papers, in addition to the 32,153 measurements from 8,944 papers that first appeared in previous editions [1].

SU(3) ISOSCALAR FACTORS AND REPRESENTATION MATRICES

Written by R.L. Kelly （LBNL）. The most commonly used SU（3） isoscalar factors, corresponding to the singlet, octet, and deeuplet content of 8 8 and 10 8, are shown at the right. The notation uses particle names to identify the coefficients, so that the pattern of relative couplings may be seen at a glance. We illustrate the use of the coefficients below.

BOTTOM BARYONS(B=-1)∧_b^0=udb,≡_b^0=usb,≡_b^-=dsb,Ω_b^-=ssb

In the quark model, a ∧b0 is an isospin-0 udb state. The lowest ∧b0 ought to have JP = 1/2＋. None of I, J, or P have actually been measured.

∧ BARYONS(S=-1,I=0)∧~0=uds

We have omitted some results that have been superseded by later experiments. See our earlier editions.

PARTICLE DETECTORS AT ACCELERATORS

33.1. Introduction This review summarizes the detector technologies employed at accelerator particle physics experiments. Several of these detectors are also used in a non-accelerator context and examples of such applications will be provided. The detector techniques which are specific to non-accelerator particle physics experiments are the subject of Chap.
