Thermal rates for baryon and anti-baryon production
نویسنده
چکیده
We use a form of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem to derive formulas giving the rate of production of spin-1/2 baryons in terms of the fluctuations of either meson or quark fields. The most general formulas do not assume thermal or chemical equilibrium. When evaluated in a thermal ensemble we find equilibration times on the order of 10 fm/c near the critical temperature in QCD.

Effect of baryon density on parton production, chemical equilibration and thermal photon emission from quark gluon plasma
The effect of baryon density on parton production processes of gg ⇀↽ ggg and gg ⇀↽ qq̄ is studied using full phase space distribution function and also with inclusion of quantum statistics i.e. Pauli blocking and Bose enhancement factors, in the case of both saturated and unsaturated quark gluon plasma. The rate for the process gg ⇀↽ qq̄ is found to be much less as compared to the most commonly u...
متن کاملBaryon Production in the String Fragmentation Picture
An improved version of the “pop-corn” model for baryon production in quark and gluon jets is presented. With a reduced number of parameters the model reproduces well both production rates for different baryon species and baryon momentum distributions. Predictions are presented for a set of baryon-antibaryon correlations. e-mail [email protected] e-mail [email protected]
متن کاملMaking Baryons Below the Electroweak Scale
I describe a new way for baryogenesis to proceed, which evades many of the problems of GUT and electroweak scenarios. If the reheat temperature after inflation is below the electroweak scale, neither GUT baryon production nor traditional electroweak baryogenesis can occur. However, non-thermal production of sphaleron configurations via preheating could generate the observed baryon asymmetry of ...
متن کاملHadronic Ratios and the Number of Projectile Participants
We investigate the dependence of hadronic ratios on the number of projectile participants using a thermal model incorporating exact baryon number and strangeness conservation. A comparison is made with results from Au − Au collisions obtained at the BNL-AGS. Preliminary results on the dependence of hadronic ratios on the number of projectile participants have recently been presented by the E866...
متن کاملAnti-Hyperon Enhancement through Baryon Junction Loops
The baryon junction exchange mechanism recently proposed to explain valence baryon number transport in nuclear collisions is extended to study midrapidity anti-hyperon production. Baryon junction-antijunction (JJ̄) loops are shown to enhance Λ̄, Ξ̄, Ω̄ as well as lead to long range rapidity correlations. Results are compared to recent WA97 PbPb → Y Ȳ X data. 25.75.-q,24.10.Lx Typeset using REVTEX
