Singlet N-N scattering with exchange of confined gluons among relativistic quark clusters

Confined-gluon-exchange among relativistically confined quark clusters is used to obtain singlet S and P wave N-N scattering phase-shifts. A good agreement is obtained with the experimental results.     

Spin observables of the NN interaction in a relativistic harmonic model with confined gluons and mesons

Polarization observables for the nucleon-nucleon (NN) scattering are investigated in the frame work of relativistic harmonic model belowE _lab=250 MeV, with the inclusion of theσ andπ meson exchange. The results can be interpreted as the ‘Cheshire cat principle’ of NN interaction.     

Effect of the confined gluons in quark-quark interaction

On the basis of a successful phenomenological current confinement model for gluons we have obtained a closed analytical expression for the confined gluon propagator (CGP) for the specific small frequencies in the co-ordinate space using a translationally invariant ansatz. We have also derived compact expression for generalm-dimensional harmonic oscillator ‘propagator’ for specific energies. Using the CGP the complete expression for the one gluon exchange potential (COGEP) between the quarks has been derived using the Fermi-Breit formalism which will be useful in the study of hadron spectroscopy and hadron-hadron interactions. TheN - Δ splitting is calculated using the spin-spin part of the COGEP.     

Quarkonium spectral functions with complex potential

We study quarkonium spectral functions at high temperatures using a potential model with complex potential. The real part of the potential is constrained by the lattice QCD data on static quark anti-quark correlation functions, while the imaginary part of the potential is taken from perturbative calculations. We find that the imaginary part of the potential has significant effect on quarkonium spectral functions, in particular, it leads to the dissolution of the 1S charmonium and excited bottomonium states at temperatures about 250 MeV and melting of the ground state bottomonium at temperatures slightly above 450 MeV.     

Collective thermalization in quark gluon plasma

A very important question in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions is that of thermalization of the high energy density quark gluon plasma forud in the central rapidity region. Different approaches have been adopted by various authors to study this thermalization problem. These include phenomenological string and capacitor plate models, perturbative QCD based parton cascade models and the classical non-perturbative approach. In this paper we briefly review the earlier studies and discuss our work which emphasizes the role of non-perturbative collective effects (classical chaos) in the thermalization of the plasma. In particular, using classical equations of motion of a coloured parton in self-consistent colour fields, we have carried out a 1+1 dimensional simulation of coloured partonic matter. We find that in certain parameter domains, the system exhibits chaotic behaviour in non-abelian plasma oscillations, which then leads to thermalization of the plasma.     

Photon production from quark gluon plasma at finite baryon density

The photon yield from a baryon-rich quark gluon plasma (QGP) at SPS energy has been estimated. In the QGP phase, rate of photon production is evaluated up to two-loop level. In the hadron phase, dominant contribution from π,ρ, ω mesons has been considered. The evolution of the plasma has been studied with appropriate equation of state in both QGP and hadron phase for a baryon-rich system. At SPS energy, the total photon yield is found to increase marginally in the presence of baryon density.     

Quark gluon plasma

Recent trends in the research of quark gluon plasma (QGP) are surveyed and the current experimental and theoretical status regarding the properties and signals of QGP is reported. We hope that the experiments commencing at relativistic heavy-ion collider (RHIC) in 2000 will provide a glimpse of the QGP formation.     

Status of the quark gluon plasma search

A selection of results are discussed that support the conclusion that strongly interacting quark gluon plasma is produced in heavy-ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at BNL.     

Meson correlation functions in a QCD plasma

The temporal pseudoscalar meson correlation function in a QCD plasma is investigated in a range of temperatures exceeding T_c and yet of experimental interest. Only the flavour-singlet channel is considered and the imaginary time formalism is employed for the finite temperature calculations. The behaviour of the meson spectral function and of the temporal correlator is first studied in the HTL approximation, where one replaces the free thermal quark propagators with the HTL resummed ones. This procedure satisfactory describes the soft fermionic modes, but its application to the propagation of hard quarks is not reliable. An improved version of the so-called NLA scheme, which allows a better treatment of the hard fermionic modes, is then proposed. The impact of the improved NLA on the pseudoscalar temporal correlator is investigated.     

Non-perturbative corrections to one-gluon exchange quark potentials

The leading non-perturbative QCD corrections to the one-gluon exchange quark-quark, quark-antiquark and pair-excitation potentials are derived by using a covariant form of non-local two-quark and two-gluon vacuum expectation values. Our numerical calculation indicates that the correction of quark and gluon condensates to the quark-antiquark potential improves the heavy quarkonium spectra to some degree.     

Hard loop effective theory of the (anisotropic) quark gluon plasma

The generalization of the hard thermal loop effective theory to anisotropic plasmas is described with a detailed discussion of anisotropic dispersion laws and plasma instabilities. The numerical results obtained in real-time lattice simulations of the hard loop effective theory are reviewed, both for the stationary anisotropic case and for a quark-gluon plasma undergoing boost-invariant expansion.     

The extent of strangeness equilibration in quark gluon plasma

The evolution and production of strangeness from chemically equilibrating and transversely expanding quark gluon plasma which may be formed in the wake of relativistic heavy-ion collisions is studied with initial conditions obtained from the self screened parton cascade (SSPC) model. The extent of partonic equilibration increases almost linearly with the square of the initial energy density, which can then be scaled with the number of participants.     

Meson spectra with a power-law potential in the Dirac equation

A power law potential which is an equal admixture of scalar and vector parts with effective powerv ∞ 1/m _q , is proposed as a quark confining potential in the Dirac equation. The model is capable of predicting the meson spectroscopy encompassing both light and heavy quark-antiquark systems in a unified way.     

Phase transitions in hadronic systems and thermodynamics of a system with an exponential spectrum

Both nuclear matter and hadronic matter at high excitations can be described by a liquid-vapor phase transition. For the hadronic systems, a system with an exponential mass spectrum (Hagedorn-like or bag-like) leads to a thermodynamics which is identical to that of a two phase coexistence at a fixed temperature.     

Charm structure functions and gluon shadowing effects with the AdS/CFT model

By means of the UGD function extracted from an AdS/CFT inspired saturation model, the charm and bottom structure functions are studied in fixed-order perturbation theory. It is shown that the theoretical results are in good agreement with the recent HERA data. Then, this UGD function is also used to investigate net-kaon rapidity distribution in Au+Au collisions at RHIC energies and the theoretical results fit well to the BRAHMS data. In the end of this paper, we give the predicted results for nuclear charm structure function at very small x where the popular shadowing parameterizations are invalid.     

Heavy quarkonia spectra and their decays in a relativistic quark model

Using the phenomenological relativistic harmonic model (RHM) for quarks, we have obtained the masses of S wave charmonium and bottomonium states. The full Hamiltonian used in the investigation has Lorentz scalar plus vector confinement potential, along with the confined one gluon exchange potential (COGEP). A good agreement with the experimental masses for the ground and the radially excited states is obtained both for the triplet and singlet S wave mesons. The decay properties of the ground state charmonium and bottomonium are investigated.

Masses of S and P wave mesons and pseudoscalar decay constants using a confinement scheme

In the framework of relativistic harmonic confinement model for quarks and antiquarks, the masses of S- and P-wave mesons and pseudoscalar decay constants from light flavour to heavy flavour sectors are computed. The residual two-body Coulomb interaction and the spin-dependent interaction of the confined one gluon exchange effects (COGEP) such as spin-spin and spin-orbit interactions are perturbatively incorporated with the confinement energy to get the respective vector-pseudoscalar meson mass differences. Here we employ the same parametrization and model parameters as used in a recent study of low-lying hadron masses and leptonic decay widths. The results are being compared with the values obtained from other theoretical models and the experimental values.     

Dynamical study of the possible molecular state X(3872) with the s-channel one gluon exchange interaction

The recently observed X(3872) resonance, which is difficult to assign a conventional c charmonium state in the quark model, may be interpreted as a molecular state. Such a molecular state is a hidden flavor four quark state because of its charmonium-like quantum numbers. The s-channel one gluon exchange is an interaction which only acts in the hidden flavor multi-quark system. In this paper, we will study the X(3872) and other similiar hidden flavor molecular states in a quark model by taking into account the s-channel one gluon exchange interaction.
