Hadron production in nuclear collisions at RHIC and high-density QCD

D Kharzeev, M Nardi - Physics Letters B, 2001 - Elsevier
We analyze the first results on charged particle multiplicity at RHIC in the conventional
eikonal approach and in the framework of high-density QCD. We extract the fraction F of the …

Anisotropic transverse flow and the quark-hadron phase transition

PF Kolb, J Sollfrank, U Heinz - Physical Review C, 2000 - APS
Abstract We use (3+ 1)-dimensional hydrodynamics with exact longitudinal boost invariance
to study the influence of collision centrality and initial energy density on the transverse flow …

Chaos-assisted tunneling

S Tomsovic, D Ullmo - Physical Review E, 1994 - APS
We discuss and give evidence for the existence of a new mechanism for quantum dynamical
tunneling. It may occur when a quantum system's underlying classical dynamics are far from …

Clocking hadronization in relativistic heavy-ion collisions with balance functions

SA Bass, P Danielewicz, S Pratt - Physical Review Letters, 2000 - APS
A novel state of matter has been hypothesized to exist during the early stage of relativistic
heavy-ion collisions, with normal hadrons not appearing until several fm/c after the start of …

Low-mass e+ e− pair production in 158 A GeV Pb-Au collisions at the CERN SPS, its dependence on multiplicity and transverse momentum

G Agakichiev, R Baur, P Braun-Munzinger, F Ceretto… - Physics Letters B, 1998 - Elsevier
We report a measurement of low-mass electron pairs observed in 158 GeV/nucleon Pb-Au
collisions. The pair yield integrated over the range of invariant masses 0.2≤ m≤ 2.0 GeV/c2 …

Charmonium suppression in heavy-ion collisions

C Gerschel, J Hüfner - Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle …, 1999 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Data and their interpretations are reviewed for J/ψ and ψ′ production in heavy-
ion collisions with particular emphasis on the recently reported anomaly in Pb-Pb reactions …

The phase diagram of QCD

S Hands - Contemporary Physics, 2001 - Taylor & Francis
Simple thermodynamic reasoning is used to argue that at temperatures of the order of a
trillion kelvin, QCD, the theory which describes strongly interacting particles such as protons …

Scaling of charged particle multiplicity in Pb–Pb collisions at SPS energies

MC Abreu, B Alessandro, C Alexa, R Arnaldi, M Atayan… - Physics Letters B, 2002 - Elsevier
The charged particle multiplicity distribution dNch/dη has been measured by the NA50
experiment in Pb–Pb collisions at the CERN SPS. Measurements were done at incident …

Medium-induced jet absorption in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

A Drees, H Feng, J Jia - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2005 - APS
The dense medium created in Au+ Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider
significantly suppresses particle production from hard-scattering processes and their …
