Liu, K F

Investigations are proposed in the following areas: Chiral soliton description of hadron physics, Monte Carlo lattice gauge simulation, detection of quark gluon plasma in relativistic heavy ion collisions, phenomenology of exotic mesons and fermi-liquid theory of nuclei. An effective sigma model lagrangian is used to study the nucleon static properties, the NN static potential and the baryon spectrum with vibration and rotation coupling in ..pi..N scatterings. In the projects involving Monte Carlo calculations, plans are made to evaluate the vacuum to glueball transition amplitudes and the nucleon form factors in the physical SU(3) case. Calculations are made of the ionization and regeneration rates of various high mass mesons to examine a proposal of detecting the quark gluon plasma via di-leptons and quadra-leptons. Efforts continue in searching for exotic mesons (Q/sup 2/ anti Q/sup 2/ mesons and glueballs in ..gamma gamma.. reactions, hadronic collisions, J/psi radiative decays and anti NN annihilations. Last but not least, a proposal is made to employ a new Skyrme interaction to study the spin modes in nuclei, the particle-particle interactions, the optical potentials and carry out the renormalized random phase approximation calculations via particle-phonon coupling mechanism. 73 refs., 1 fig.
