The “Perfect” Fluid Quenches Jets Almost Perfectly
نویسنده
چکیده
The QCD matter produced in nuclear collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) has been found to have a very low shear viscosity, which is close to the lower bound allowed by unitarity. The matter has also been found to strongly suppress the emission of energetic hadrons. This phenomenon, called “jet quenching” is interpreted to be the result of a large energy loss by the precursor parton on its path through the dense matter, primarily due to gluon radiation. I discuss how the two phenomena are related. The RHIC data suggest, in some scenarios of jet quenching, that the quark-gluon plasma created in nuclear collisions is characterized by strong coupling, but still admits a quasi-particle description.

Cryptography for Unconditionally Secure Message Transmission in Networks (Invited Talk)
We consider the model of unconditionally secure (r-round, n-channel) message transmission schemes which was introduced by Dolev et al. [1]. In this model, there are n channels between a sender and a receiver, and an infinitely powerful adversary A may corrupt (observe and forge) the messages sent through t out of n channels. The sender wishes to send a secret s to the receiver in r-round withou...
متن کاملReal Perfect Contrast Visual Secret Sharing Schemes with Reversing
The visual secret sharing (VSS for short) scheme is a secret image sharing scheme. A secret image is visually revealed from overlapping shadow images without additional computations. However, the contrast of reconstructed image is much lost. By means of the reversing operation (reverse black and white), Viet and Kurosawa used the traditional VSS scheme to design a VSS scheme which the secret im...
متن کاملDoes Privacy Require True Randomness?
Most cryptographic primitives require randomness (for example, to generate their secret keys). Usually, one assumes that perfect randomness is available, but, conceivably, such primitives might be built under weaker, more realistic assumptions. This is known to be true for many authentication applications, when entropy alone is typically sufficient. In contrast, all known techniques for achievi...
متن کاملArrest of fluid demixing by nanoparticles: a computer simulation study.
We use lattice Boltzmann simulations to investigate the formation of arrested structures upon demixing of a binary solvent containing neutrally wetting colloidal particles. Previous simulations for symmetric fluid quenches pointed to the formation of "bijels": bicontinuous interfacially jammed emulsion gels. These should be created when a glassy monolayer of particles forms at the fluid-fluid i...
متن کاملMaintenance Cost Analysis for Replacement Model with Perfect Minimal Repair
With the evolution of technology, the maintenance of sophisticated systems is of concern for system engineers and system designers. The maintenance cost of the system depends in general on the replacement and repair policies. The system replacement may be in a strictly periodic fashion or on a random basis depending upon the maintenance policy. At failure, the repair of the system may be perfor...
