Qcd in Nuclear Collisions * †
نویسنده
چکیده
The relationship between RHIC and HERA data is explored using the idea of saturation (color glass condensate) as a unifying framework for interpretation. A description of the early stages of a heavy ion collision is given consistent with the RHIC results. The relevant QCD dynamics at the various stages of a heavy ion collision, from production of gluons to equilibration, is reviewed. Some comments on current phenomenology are given.

Modeling Magnetic Field in Heavy ion Collisions Using Two Different Nuclear Charge Density Distributions
By studying the properties of matter during heavy-ion collisions, a better understanding of the Quark-Gluon plasma is possible. One of the main areas of this study is the calculation of the magnetic field, particularly how the values of conductivity affects this field and how the field strength changes with proper time. In matching the theoretical calculations with results obtained in lab, two diffe...
متن کاملNovel Qcd Effects in Nuclear Collisions*
Heavy ion collisions can provide a novel environment for testing fundamental dynamical processes in QCD, including minijet formation and interactions, formation zone phenomena, color filtering, coherent co-mover interactions, and new higher twist mechanisms which could account for the observed excess production and anomalous nuclear target dependence of heavy flavor production. The possibility ...

متن کاملThe strange border of the QCD phases 1 Sonja Kabana Laboratory for High Energy
We address the flavour composition along the border between the hadronic and the quark-gluon plasma phases of QCD. The ratio of strange to up and down antiquarks (λs) produced in particle and nuclear collisions, is found to increase in collisions with initially reached energy density (ǫi) up to ǫcrit ∼ 1 GeV/fm3. Above this value it decreases approximately linearly and reaches its asymptotic va...
متن کاملLow-mass dilepton production in pp and AA collisions
We adopt a factorized QCD formalism to describe the transverse momentum distribution of lowmass lepton pairs produced in pp collisions, when the pair transverse momentum QT ≫ Q, with the pair’s invariant mass Q as low as Q ∼ ΛQCD. We extend this formalism to dilepton production in AA collisions by including the nuclear dependent power correction due to parton multiple scattering.
