Deuteron life-time in hot and dense nuclear matter near equilibrium
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider deuteron formation in hot and dense nuclear matter close to equilibrium and evaluate the life-time of the deuteron fluctuations within the linear response theory. To this end we derive a generalized linear Boltzmann equation where the collision integral is related to equilibrium correlation functions. In this framework we then utilize finite temperature Green functions to evaluate the collision integrals. The elementary reaction cross section is evaluated within the Faddeev approach that is suitably modified to reflect the properties of the surrounding hot and dense matter.

Recent Results from RHIC & Some Lessons for Cosmic-Ray Physicists
The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) studies nuclear matter under a variety of conditions. Cold nuclear matter is probed with deuteron-gold collisions, while hot nuclear matter (possibly a quark-gluon plasma (QGP)) is created in heavy-ion collisions. The distribution of spin in polarized nucleons is measured with polarized proton collisions, and photoproduction is studied using the photon...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium Nucleon Emission around the Fermi Energy Region
Emission of fast energetic nucleons in intermediate energy nuclear collisions is investigated in the framework of two specific non-equilibrium models. In the lower energy region considered, the Fermi Jet mechanism dominates whereas results in the higher energy region are suggestive of emission from a hot dense source formed inside cold nuclear matter.
متن کاملThree Quark Clusters in Hot and Dense Nuclear Matter
We present a relativistic in-medium three-body equation to study correlations in hot and dense quark matter. The equation is solved for a zero-range force for parameters close to the phase transition of QCD.
متن کاملDeuteron Formation in Nuclear Matter within the Faddeev Approach
We consider deuteron formation in heavy ion collisions at intermediate energies. The elementary reaction rates (Nd → NNN etc.) in this context are calculated using rigorous Faddeev methods. To this end an in-medium Faddeev equation that consistently includes the energy shift and Pauli blocking effects has been derived and solved numerically. As a first application we have calculated the life-ti...
متن کاملProbing Cold and Hot, Dense Nuclear Media Via High-pT Jets with Di-hadron and γ-hadron Correlations at PHENIX
With the recent high statistics Au+Au and Cu+Cu runs at RHIC, it has become possible to systematically study jet properties in several different colliding systems with potentially different final state interactions. In this talk we present results from high-pT di-hadron and γ-hadron correlations from p+p, d+Au, Cu+Cu, and Au+Au collisions where jets in vacuum, cold nuclear matter, and hot, dens...
