Methanol is observed in a wide range of astrophysical sources throughout the universe, and comprehensive databases of the millimeter and THz spectra of CH3OH and its principal isotopologues represent important tools for the astronomical community. A previous combined analysis of microwave and millimeter wave spectra of 13CH3OH together with Fourier transform far-infrared spectra was limited to the first two torsional states, v_t = 0 and 1, for J values up to 20. The limits on frequency and quantum number coverage have recently been extended by new millimeter and THz measurements on several different spectrometers in the Cologne laboratory in the frequency windows 34-70 GHz, 75-120 GHz, 240-340 GHz, 360-450 GHz and 1.12-1.50 THz. With the new data, the global treatment has now been expanded to include the first three torsional states for J values up to 30. The current 13CH3OH data set contains about 2,300 microwave, millimeter-wave, sub-millimeter and THz lines and about 17,100 Fourier-transform far-infrared lines, representing the most recent available information in the quantum number ranges J </= 30, K </= 13 and v_t </= 2. The transitions have been successfully fitted to within the assigned measurement uncertainties of +/-50 kHz for most of the frequency-measured (i.e. MW, MMW, Sub-MMW, THz) lines and +/-6 MHz for the FIR lines. A convergent global fit was achieved using 103 adjustable parameters to reach an overall weighted standard deviation of 1.37. Our new C-13 methanol database is improved substantially compared to the existing one (Li-Hong Xu, F.J. Lovas, J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data 26 (1997) 17-156), and will be available in the Cologne Database for Molecular Spectroscopy, CDMS (http://www.astro.unikoeln.de/cdms/). (Abbreviated)

In this article, we firstly derive two QCD sum rules QCDSR I and QCDSR II which are respectively used to extract observable quantities of the ground states and the first radially excited states of D-wave vector $rho$ and $phi$ mesons. In our calculat ions, we consider the contributions of vacuum condensates up to dimension-7 in the operator product expansion. The predicted masses for $1^{3}D_{1}$ $rho$ meson and $2^{3}D_{1}$ $phi$ meson are consistent well with the experimental data of $rho$($1700$) and $phi$($2170$). Besides, our analysis indicates that it is reliable to assign the recent reported $Y$($2040$) state as the $2^{3}D_{1}$ $rho$ meson. Finally, we obtain the decay constants of these states with QCDSR I and QCDSR II. These predictions are helpful not only to reveal the structure of the newly observed $Y$($2040$) state but also to establish $phi$ meson and $rho$ meson families.
We report on the first measurement of the Breit-Wigner resonance of the transition from {it ortho-}positronium to {it para-}positronium. We have developed an optical system to accumulate a power of over 20 kW using a frequency-tunable gyrotron and a Fabry-P{e}rot cavity. This system opens a new era of millimeter-wave spectroscopy, and enables us to directly determine both the hyperfine interval and the decay width of {it p-}Ps.
We describe a low-cost, open-access, CubeSat-based calibration instrument that is designed to support ground-based and sub-orbital experiments searching for various polarization signals in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). All modern CMB polariz ation experiments require a robust calibration program that will allow the effects of instrument-induced signals to be mitigated during data analysis. A bright, compact, and linearly polarized astrophysical source with polarization properties known to adequate precision does not exist. Therefore, we designed a space-based millimeter-wave calibration instrument, called CalSat, to serve as an open-access calibrator, and this paper describes the results of our design study. The calibration source on board CalSat is composed of five tones with one each at 47.1, 80.0, 140, 249 and 309 GHz. The five tones we chose are well matched to (i) the observation windows in the atmospheric transmittance spectra, (ii) the spectral bands commonly used in polarimeters by the CMB community, and (iii) The Amateur Satellite Service bands in the Table of Frequency Allocations used by the Federal Communications Commission. CalSat would be placed in a polar orbit allowing visibility from observatories in the Northern Hemisphere, such as Mauna Kea in Hawaii and Summit Station in Greenland, and the Southern Hemisphere, such as the Atacama Desert in Chile and the South Pole. CalSat also would be observable by balloon-borne instruments launched from a range of locations around the world. This global visibility makes CalSat the only source that can be observed by all terrestrial and sub-orbital observatories, thereby providing a universal standard that permits comparison between experiments using appreciably different measurement approaches.

We investigate the superfluid--Mott-insulator quantum phase transition of spin-1 bosons in an optical lattice created by pairs of counterpropagating linearly polarized laser beams, driving an $F_g=1$ to $F_e=1$ internal atomic transition. The whole p arameter space of the resulting two-component Bose-Hubbard model is studied. We find that the phase transition is not always second order as in the case of spinless bosons, but can be first order in certain regions of the parameter space. The calculations are done in the mean-field approximation by means of exact numerical diagonalization as well as within the framework of perturbaton theory.

We study a set of exactly soluble net spin models. There exist two kinds of ground state, one is a complete dimerized state, and the other one is the ground state of corresponding spin-1 model. For the excitation gap, various phases were discovered and determined.
