The LHC as a Nucleus-Nucleus Collider

This paper begins with a summary of the status of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, including the lead-ion injector chain and the plans for the first phases of commissioning and operation with colliding proton beams. In a later phase, the LHC will collide lead nuclei at centre-of-mass energies of 5.5 TeV per colliding nucleon pair. This leap to 28 times beyond what is presently accessible will...

Nucleus - nucleus interaction in the perturbative QCD

Nucleus-nucleus interaction is studied in the framework of the perturbative QCD with N c → ∞ and a fixed coupling constant. The pomeron tree diagrams are summed by an effective field theory. The classical field eqations are solved by iteration procedure, which is found convergent in a restricted domain of not too high energies and atomic numbers. The found gluon distributions do not scale, have...

The Nucleus

Correspondence to: Susan A. Gerbi; Email: [email protected] The year 2010 marked the 300 anniversary of Antony van Leeuwenhoeck’s description of amphibian and avian nuclei. The field is now poised to enter a new realm of inquiry and discovery. Most objects in the nucleus have been described by light and electron microscopy, but we are now beginning a new era to study the dynamics of the nuc...

Inositides and the nucleus and inositides in the nucleus.

Although there are many forms of evidence linking phosphoinositides to nuclear function, the substance of the links remains largely undefined. One link between inositide metabolism and the nucleus is suggested by the implication of inositol trisphosphate (IP3) in the process of nuclear envelope reassembly (Sullivan et al., 1993). That paper will be discussed below in its context, but this revie...
