Generalized Diffraction Theory for Very-High-Energy Collisions

Baryon - to - Entropy Ratio in Very High Energy Nuclear Collisions

We compute as a function of rapidity y the baryon number carried by quarks and antiquarks with pT > p0 ≈ 2 GeV produced in Pb+Pb collisions at TeV energies. The computation is carried out in lowest order QCD perturbation theory using structure functions compatible with HERA results. At p0 = 2 GeV the initial gluon density is both transversally saturated and thermalised in the sense that the ene...

P-/E) Theory of e+e- Collisions at Very High Energy

Coherent gluon production in very-high-energy heavy-ion collisions.

The early stages of a relativistic heavy-ion collision are examined in the framework of an effective classical SU(3) Yang-Mills theory in the transverse plane. We compute the initial energy and number distributions, per unit rapidity, at midrapidity, of gluons produced in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. We discuss the phenomenological implications of our results in light of the recent Relativ...

High-energy Scattering and Diffraction: Theory Summary A

New developments in the theory and phenomenology of high-energy scattering and diffraction that were presented and discussed at DIS2000 are reviewed.

High Energy Synchrotron Diffraction

High energy synchrotron diffraction is introduced as a new method for residual stress analysis in the bulk of materials. It is shown that energy dispersive measurements are sufficiently precise so that strains as small 10-4 can be determined reliably. Due to the high intensity and the high parallelism of the high energy synchrotron radiation the sample gauge volume can be reduced to approximate...
