Motivated by the recent LHC Higgs data and null results in searches for any new physics, we investigate the Higgs couplings and naturalness in the littlest Higgs model with T-parity. By performing the global fit of the latest Higgs data, electroweak precise observables and R b measurements, we find that the scale f can be excluded up to 600 GeV at 2σ confidence level. The expected Higgs coupling measurements at the future collider TLEP will improve this lower limit to above 3 TeV. Besides, the top parnter mass m T + can be excluded up to 880 GeV at 2σ confidence level. The future HL-LHC can constrain this mass in the region m T + < 2.2 TeV corresponding to the fine-tuning being lager than 1%.

On the basis of similarity principle a water-simulative study of the process of rotating impeller degassing (RID) was executed by means of self-made purifying system. The influencing factors on the RID process were studied and laid a theoretical basis for the further development of this kind of technique. The shape of vortex originated in rotating of impeller and its adverse effect on degassing effectiveness were discussed. Meanwhile the influences of shape as well as position of bluff body on degassing efficiency were investigated. The impacts of parameters such as gas feed rate and rotational speed of on degassing efficiency were discussed. The result revealed that the structure and design parameters of impeller are the decisive factors of effectiveness of RID facilities, and the design of the swivel head ought to aim for increasing the additional turbulent shear stress on air bubble and improving the degassing condition.

Alloys were produced by casting of Cu-Al-Fe-Be and Cu-Al-Fe-Ni aluminum bronzes and aged. The microstructures and mechanical properties were evaluated. The results indicated that solution and aging treatment can significantly improve the plasticity of Cu-Al-Fe-Be and Cu-Al-Fe-Ni, while the strength and hardness remained in the quenched level. Extending the aging time can effectively enhance the mechanical properties of alloys, and the longer the aging time, the higher the electric resistance of alloys. According to the results, the mechanical properties of the Cu-Al-Fe-Be alloy can be improved remarkably by solution treatment for 120 min at 950°C, followed by aging treatment for 120 min at 350°C, and quenched. While the most suitable heat treatment for the Cu-Al-Fe-Ni alloy was solution treatment 120 min at 950°C, followed by aging for 120 min at 450°C, and quenched. The experimental result also suggested that the Cu-Al-Fe-Be alloy possessed higher hardness and tensile strength compared to the Cu-Al-Fe-Ni alloy.
