This report reviews the study of open heavy-flavour and quarkonium production in high-
energy hadronic collisions, as tools to investigate fundamental aspects of Quantum …

We review the experimental and theoretical status of open heavy-flavor (HF) production in
high-energy nuclear collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large …

This book is on inertial confinement fusion, an alternative way to produce electrical power
from hydrogen fuel by using powerful lasers or particle beams. Two huge laser facilities are …

Ultracold neutral plasmas formed by photoionizing laser-cooled atoms near the ionization
threshold have electron temperatures in the 1–1000K range and ion temperatures from tens …

We determine basic thermodynamic and transport properties of hydrogen–helium–water
mixtures for the extreme conditions along Jupiter's adiabat via ab initio simulations, which …

We review the present status in the theoretical and phenomenological understanding of
charmonium and bottomonium production in heavy-ion collisions. We start by recapitulating …

Using Kubo's linear response theory, we derive expressions for the frequency-dependent
electrical conductivity (Kubo-Greenwood formula), thermopower, and thermal conductivity in …

Dynamic high pressure is 1 GPa (10 kbar) or greater with a rise time and a duration ranging
from 1 ps (10− 12 s) to 1 µs (10− 6 s). Today it is possible in a laboratory to achieve …

Standard approaches to the energy loss of ions in plasmas like the dielectric linear response
or the binary collision model are strictly valid only in the regimes where the plasma is close …

We investigate the thermopower and Lorenz number of hydrogen with Kohn-Sham density
functional theory (DFT) across the plasma plane toward the near-classical limit, ie, weakly …
