Exploring isospin, strangeness and charm distillation in nuclear collisions
نویسنده
چکیده
The isospin and strangeness dimensions of the Equation of State are explored. RIA and the SIS200 accelerator at GSI will allow to explore these regions in compressed baryonic matter. Sn+Sn and Sn+Sn collisions as well as the excitation functions of K/π, Λ/π and the centrality dependence of charmonium suppression from the UrQMD and HSD transport models are presented and compared to data. Unambiguous proof for the creation of a ’novel phase of matter’ from strangeness and charm yields is not in sight.

Strangelets and Strange Quark Matter
As it has been discussed widely during this conference, strangeness opens a new dimensions to nuclear physics. Insofar, systems with strangeness number S = −1,−2 have been discussed. Here we want to examine the unknown domain of finite nuclear systems with S < −2. There have been speculations about the existence of finite systems of strange quark matter (strangelets) and strange hadronic matter...
متن کاملStrangeness and Charm Signatures of the Quark-Gluon Plasma
Strangeness, charmonium and open charm yields in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions are considered within statistical model approach as potential signals of the quark-gluon plasma.

We review the new possibilities offered by the reaction dynamics of asymmetric heavy ion collisions, using stable and unstable beams. We show that it represents a rather unique tool to probe regions of highly Asymmetric Nuclear Matter (ANM) in compressed as well as dilute phases, and to test the in-medium isovector interaction for high momentum nucleons. The focus is on a detailed study of the ...

Relativistic heavy ion collisions offer the possibility to produce exotic metastable states of nuclear matter containing (roughly) equal number of strangeness compared to the content in baryon number. The reasoning of both their stability and existence, the possible distillation of strangeness necessary for their formation and the chances for their detection are reviewed. In the later respect e...
متن کاملStrangeness and charm signatures in A+A collisions
Two signatures of the quark-gluon plasma – strangeness ‘enhancement’ and J/ψ ‘suppression’ – in nucleus–nucleus collisions are critically discussed. A recently developed statistical coalescence model for J/ψ production is presented. The measurements at the RHIC energies are crucial for disentangling the different scenarios of J/ψ formation. 1. Strangeness “enhancement” ? The idea of strangeness...
