Second-order viscous corrections to the harmonic spectrum in heavy-ion collisions

Screening Corrections in Simulating Heavy Ion Collisions

One year ago, we presented a new approach to treat hadronic interactions for the initial stage of nuclear collisions . It is an effective theory based on the Gribov-Regge formalism, where the internal structure of the Pomerons at high energies is governed by perturbative parton evolution, therefore the name “Parton-Based Gribov-Regge Theory”. The main improvement compared to models used so-far ...

Next-to-Leading-Order Corrections to the Production of Heavy-Flavour Jets in e+e− Collisions

In this paper we describe the calculation of the process e+e−→Z/γ→QQ+X, where Q is a heavy quark, at order αs. CERN-TH/97-219 April 14, 2008 On leave of absence from INFN, Milan, Italy

First Order Phase Transition in Intermediate Energy Heavy Ion Collisions

We model the disassembly of an excited nuclear system formed as a result of a heavy ion collision. We find that, as the beam energy in central collisions in varied, the dissociating system crosses a liquid-gas coexistence curve, resulting in a first-order phase transition. Accessible experimental signatures are identified: a peak in specific heat, a power-law yield for composites, and a maximum...

Equilibrium in Heavy Ion Collisions

We discuss the question of equilibriation in heavy ion collisions and how it can be addressed in experiment
