Quark model and π+p-pp multiplicity difference

Hadron interactions at high energy are sensitive to the space-time structure of the parton model. Based on this structure we propose a model of particle production in which collective collisions among the constituents can take place. We show that the π⁺p-pp multiplicity difference and the asymmetry in π⁺p collisions should decrease with rising energy.

Rapidity and azimuthal correlations in π − p and π −C collisions at 40 GeV/c

New results are presented that were obtained from an analysis of experimental data on rapidity and azimuthal correlations in π ^? p and π ^?C collisions at 40 GeV/c. Some nonstandard methods for seeking correlations are developed. Dynamical correlations associated with fluctuations of the number of intranuclear collisions at a given multiplicity are discovered in π ^?C collisions. It is shown that the Lund model cannot describe the experimental data being discussed.     

Polarization of Λ0 hyperons as a signature for the quark-gluon plasma

The momentum distribution of Λ⁰ hyperons produced from the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions is calculated in dependence on their polarization. The momentum distribution of Λ⁰ hyperons is defined by matrix elements of relativistic quark Wigner operators, which are calculated within the effective quark model with chiral U(3)×U(3) symmetry and the quark-gluon transport theory. We show that the polarization of the Λ⁰ hyperon depends on the spin of the strange quark that agrees well with the DeGrand-Miettinen model. We show that Λ⁰ hyperons, produced from the QGP, are fully unpolarized. This means that a detection of unpolarized Λ⁰ hyperons, produced in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, should serve as one of the signatures for the existence of the QGP in intermediate states of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions.     

Subthreshold K+ production in proton-nucleus collisions

Double differential K⁺ cross sections have been measured in p+C collisions at 1.2, 1.5 and 2.5 GeV beam energy and in p+Pb collisions at 1.2 and 1.5 GeV. The K⁺ spectrum taken at 2.5 GeV can be reproduced quantitatively by a model calculation which takes into account first chance proton-nucleon collisions and internal momentum with energy distribution of nucleons according to the spectral function. At 1.2 and 1.5 GeV beam energy the K⁺ data excess significantly the model predictions for first chance collisions. When taking secondary processes into account the results of the calculations are in much better agreement with the data.

Is multiple production in proton-proton collisions similar to that ine + e − annihilation?

A model is constructed to simulate recent experimental finding that distributions of hadrons produced in proton-proton collisions are similar to those ine ⁺ e ^? annihilation if the leading proton effects are subtracted properly in the former process. It is found that the predicted multiplicity distribution in proton-proton collisions is too narrow compared to experimental data. As an alternative, we propose a simple quark model that produces correctly the observed multiplicity distribution including the approximate KNO scaling in proton-proton collisions.     

Charged majorons ine + e − ande − e − collisions

The experimental limits on charged majorons, i.e. charged scalars which carry lepton number, are discussed in a model independent way. Possible signals ine ⁺ e ^? ande ^? e ^? collisions are then estimated. It is stressed that the limits on majorons which conserve the different lepton flavors separately are presently very poor. These limits can however be improved by studyinge ^? e ^? collisions.     

Strong Enhancement of Electron–Ion Recombination Owing to Free–Bound and Bound–Bound Resonance Transitions

The effect of free–bound and bound–bound resonance nonadiabatic transitions of an electron on electron–ion recombination rates in the plasma of a Ne/Xe and Ar/Xe inert gas mixture has been studied. A kinetic model of recombination has been proposed including energy relaxation in collisions with electrons, resonant electron capture to Rydberg states through three-body collisions of Xe⁺ ions with Ne or Ar atoms and dissociative recombination of NeXe⁺ or ArXe⁺ ions, and n → n' resonance transitions. It has been shown that effective resonance processes occurring in quasimolecular systems sharply increase both the recombination coefficient and the effect of collisions with neutral particles even at quite high degrees of ionization of the plasma.     

Multifragmentation of gold nuclei by light relativistic ions: Thermal breakup versus dynamical disintegration

The multiple emission of intermediate-mass fragments (IMF) is studied for collisions of p, ⁴He, and ¹²C on Au with the 4π FASA setup. The mean multiplicities of IMF saturate at a value of around 2 for incident energies above 6 GeV. An attempt at describing the observed IMF multiplicities in the two-stage scenario, a fast cascade followed by a statistical multifragmentation, fails. Agreement with the measured IMF multiplicities is obtained by introducing an intermediate expansion phase and modifying empirically the excitation energies and masses of remnants. The angular distributions and energy spectra from p-induced collisions are in agreement with the scenario of “thermal” multifragmentation of a hot and expanded target spectator. In the case of ¹²C + Au(22.4 GeV) and ⁴He (14.6 GeV) + Au collisions, deviations from a pure thermal breakup are seen in the fragment energy spectra, which are harder than those both from model calculations and from the measured ones for p-induced collisions. This difference is attributed to a collective flow with the expansion velocity at the surface of about 0.1c (for ¹²C + Au collisions).

Depolarizing collision anisotropy and collision echo in ytterbium vapor

A photon echo induced exclusively by collisions of ytterbium atoms with buffer gas atoms has been observed at a 0 ? 1-type¹ S ₀(6s ²)-³ P ₁(6s6p) ¹⁷⁴Yb transition. The polarization properties of a collision echo and the buffer gas density dependence of its intensity agree with theoretical predictions of a model of depolarizing collisions that takes into account the dependence of a relaxation matrix on the velocity of active particles. Thus, direct experimental evidence of the relaxation anisotropy due to depolarizing collisions has been obtained.     

QCD and hybrid NBD on oscillating moments of multiplicity distributions in lepton-and hadron-initiated reactions

QCD predictions for moments of multiplicity distributions are compared with experimental data on e⁺e^? collisions and their two-NBD fits. Moments of the multiplicity distribution in a two-NBD model for 1.8-TeV pp collisions are considered. Three-NBD model predictions and fits for pp at LHC energies are also discussed. Analytic expressions for moments of hybrid NBD are derived and used to get insight into jet parameters and multicomponent structure of the processes. Interpretation of observed correlations is proposed.

Some predictions on ‘microscopic Hubble constant’ for the energies available at FAIR - GSI

The goal of this paper is to present some estimations of so-called 'microscopic Hubble constant' in the nucleus-nucleus collisions at the energies available at FAIR GSI, in the frame of CBM experiment. The analysis, based on the experimental data obtained in the previous nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC, indicated values of this constant of about 10²³s⁻¹ and ratios between the Hubble constant and 'microscopic Hubble constant' with the same magnitude as the ratio between the intensities of both interactions types involved. The UrQMD v 2.3 simulation code is used to generate events for Au-Au collisions at the energies of 5 GeV/u, 10 GeV/u, 15 GeV/u and 20 GeV/u and the Buda-Lund model is used for evaluation.     

Deuterons from 300 GeV proton collisions calculated from the Lund model

We present an alternative approach to describe deuteron production in high energy particle collisions. The phenomenological Lund-model has been used to give the number and momentum distribution of secondary nucleons produced in 300 GeV proton-proton collisions. Deuterons are assumed to be produced in a final state interaction between the nucleons inNN d reactions inside a volume of 1 F³. The results are compared to experimental data.Data became available for antideuteron production in e⁺e^– annihilation. * A Lund Monte Carlo calculation for the production of secondary nucleons in e⁺e^– collisions exist. The results from a final state interaction were too small by a factor 10³. A calculation for a coalescent model which uses the overlap of the proton-neutron momentum distribution with a distribution from a Hulthen wave function is in good agreement with the data. The coalescent model works well in this case. It is because the relative momentum of the coalescent nucleons produced for 10 GeV cm energy in e⁺e^– collisions is very much smaller than the relative momentum of the nucleons produced in 300 GeV fixed target energy ofpp collisions.
