Angular-ordered parton showers with medium-modified splitting functions
Modified Altarelli–Parisi splitting functions were lately proposed to model multi-parton radiation in a dense medium and describe jet quenching, one of most striking features of heavy-ion collisions. We implement mediummodified splitting functions in the HERWIG parton shower algorithm, which satisfies the angular ordering prescription, and present a few partonlevel results, such as transverse m...
متن کاملOpacity-induced over-expansion of asymptotic giant branch stars
I argue that the behavior of the photospheric opacity in oxygen-rich (similar to solar abundance) upper asymptotic giant branch stars may cause these stars to substantially expand for a few thousand years. I term this process over-expansion. This may occur when the photospheric (effective) temperature drops to Tp ∼ 2900 K, and because the opacity sharply increases as temperature decreases down ...
متن کاملBreakdown of chiral expansion for parton distributions
In the framework of the chiral perturbation theory (χPT) we computed twoand three-loop corrections to the pion parton distributions which posses δ-function singularities at xBj → 0. This calculation explicitly demonstrates that in the region of small xBj ∼ m 2 π/(4πFπ) 2 standard χPT breaks down and one needs resummation of all orders of χPT. We give an example of such resummation.
متن کاملThe improved nuclear parton distributions
In this paper we propose an improvement of the EKS nuclear parton distributions for the small x region of high energy processes, where the perturbative high parton density effects cannot be disregarded. We analyze the behavior of the ratios xGA/xGN and F A 2 /F D 2 and verify that at small x they are strongly modified when compared to the EKS predictions. The implications of our results for the...
متن کاملMultiplicity distributions for jet parton showers in a medium
The “jet-quenching” interpretation of suppressed high-pT hadron production at RHIC implies that jet multiplicity distributions and jet-like particle correlations in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC differ strongly from those seen at ee or pp (pp̄) colliders. Here, we present an approach for describing the changes induced by the medium, which implements jet quenching as a probabilistic medium...
