Particle number fluctuations and correlations in nucleus-nucleus collisions at SPS and RHIC energies have been studied within the Hadron-String-Dynamics (HSD) transport approach. Event-by-event fluctuations of pion-to-kaon, proton-to-pion and kaon-to-proton number ratios are calculated for the samples of most central collision events and compared with the available experimental data. It has been found that the HSD model can qualitatively reproduce the measured excitation function for the $K/pi$ ratio fluctuations in central Au+Au (or Pb+Pb) collisions from low SPS up to top RHIC energies. These predictions impose a challenge for future experiments.

Dynamical fluctuations in global conserved quantities such as baryon number, strangeness, or charge may be enhanced near a QCD critical point. Charge dependent results from new measurements of dynamical $K/pi$, $p/pi$, and $K/p$ ratio fluctuations are presented. The STAR experiment has performed a comprehensive study of the energy dependence of these dynamical fluctuations in Au+Au collisions at the energies $sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 7.7-200 GeV using the observable, $ u_{rm dyn}$. These results are compared to previous measurements and to theoretical predictions. Various proposed scaling scenarios that attempt to remove the intrinsic volume dependence of $ u_{rm dyn}$ and to simplify comparisons between experimental measurements are also considered. Constructing an intensive quantity allows for a direct connection to thermodynamic predictions.

Event-by-event fluctuations of the kaon to pion number ratio in nucleus-nucleus collisions are studied within the statistical hadron-resonance gas model (SM) for different statistical ensembles and in the Hadron-String-Dynamics (HSD) transport approach. We find that the HSD model can qualitatively reproduce the measured excitation function for the $K/pi$ ratio fluctuations in central Au+Au (or Pb+Pb) collisions from low SPS up to top RHIC energies. Substantial differences in the HSD and SM results are found for the fluctuations and correlations of the kaon and pion numbers. These predictions impose a challenge for future experiments.
Using data samples collected with the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies $sqrt{s} = 4.23, 4.26, 4.36,$ and $4.42$~rm{GeV}, we measure the branching fractions of $eta_cto K^+K^-pi^0$, $K^0_S K^{pm}pi^{mp}$, $2(pi^+pi^-pi^0)$, and $p bar{p}$, via the process $e^+e^-topi^+pi^-h_c$, $h_ctogammaeta_c$. The corresponding results are $(1.15pm0.12pm0.10)%$, $(2.60pm0.21pm0.20)%$, $(15.2pm1.8pm1.7)%$, and $(0.120pm0.026pm0.015)%$, respectively. Here the first uncertainties are statistical, and the second ones systematic. Additionally, the charged track multiplicity of $eta_c$ decays is measured for the first time.
The ratios of the branching fractions of the decays $Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p pi^{-} pi^{+}$, $Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} K^{+}$, and $Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p pi^{-} K^{+}$ with respect to the Cabibbo-favoured $Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+}$ decay are measured using proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb experiment at a 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb$^{-1}$: begin{align*} frac{mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p pi^{-} pi^{+})}{mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+})} & = (7.44 pm 0.08 pm 0.18),%, frac{mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} K^{+})}{mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+})} &= (1.70 pm 0.03 pm 0.03),%, frac{mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p pi^{-} K^{+})}{mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+})} & = (0.165 pm 0.015 pm 0.005 ),%, end{align*} where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. These results are the most precise measurements of these quantities to date. When multiplied by the world-average value for $mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+})$, the corresponding branching fractions are begin{align*} mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p pi^{-} pi^{+}) &= (4.72 pm 0.05 pm 0.11 pm 0.25) times 10^{-3}, mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} K^{+}) &= (1.08 pm 0.02 pm 0.02 pm 0.06) times 10^{-3}, mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p pi^{-} K^{+}) &= (1.04 pm 0.09 pm 0.03 pm 0.05) times 10^{-4}, end{align*} where the final uncertainty is due to $mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+})$.
In this paper, the $Dto P(pi, K)$ helicity form factors (HFFs) are studied by applying the QCD light-cone sum rule (LCSR) approach. The calculation accuracy is up to next-to-leading order (NLO) gluon radiation correction of twist-(2,3) distribution amplitude. The resultant HFFs at large recoil point are ${cal P}_{t,0}^pi(0) = 0.688^{+0.020}_{-0.024}$, ${cal P}_{t,0}^K(0)=0.780^{+0.024}_{-0.029}$. In which, the contributions from three particles of the leading order (LO) are so small that can be safely neglected, and the maximal contribution of the NLO gluon radiation correction for ${cal P}_{t,0}^{pi,K}(0)$ is less than $3%$. After extrapolating the LCSR predictions for these HFFs to whole $q^2$-region, we obtain the decay widths for semileptonic decay processes $Dto Pell u_ell$, which are consistent with BES-III collaboration predictions within errors. After considering the $D^{+}/D^{0}$-meson lifetime, we give the branching fractions of $Dto Pell u_ell$ with $ell = e, mu$, our predictions also agree with BES-III collaboration within errors, especially for $Dto pi ell u_ell$ decay process. Finally, we present the forward-backward asymmetry ${cal A}_{rm FB}^ell(q^2)$ and lepton convexity parameter ${cal C}_F^ell(q^2)$, and further calculate the mean value of these two observations $langle{cal A}_{rm FB}^ellrangle$ and $langle{cal C}_F^ellrangle$, which may provide a way to test those HFFs in future experiments.
