The physics goals that will be addressed by colliding polarized protons at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) are described. The RHIC spin program provides a new generation of experiments that will unfold the quark, anti-quark and gluon contributions to the proton's spin. In addition to these longer term goals, this paper describes what was learned from the first polarized proton collis...

The Multi Module Model for Ultra-Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions at RHIC and LHC energies is presented. It uses the Effective String Rope Model for the calculation of the initial stages of the reaction; the output of this model is used as the initial state for the subsequent one-fluid calculations. It is shown that such an initial state leads to the creation of the third flow component. The h...

Abstract. Relativistic heavy ion collisions produce thousands of particles, and it is sometimes difficult to believe that these processes allow for a theoretical description directly in terms of the underlying theory – QCD. However once the parton densities are sufficiently large, an essential simplification occurs – the dynamics becomes semi– classical. As a result, a simple ab initio approach...

The idea of quark-hadron duality is developed and applied to integral sum rules for the photoexcitation of meson resonances. Some applications of the presented approach in the light and heavy quark sectors are made, and the role of the scalar diquark cluster degrees of freedom in the radiative formation of light scalar mesons is discussed.
