Received (received date) Revised (revised date) Large spatial density fluctuations in high-energy heavy-ion collisions can come from many sources: initial transverse density fluctuations, non-central collisions, phase transitions , surface tension, and fragmentations. The common presence of some of these sources in high-energy heavy-ion collisions suggests that large scale density fluctuations ...

Test measurements with 241Am-α-particles, 12C, 20Ne, 58Ni, 208Pb and 238U projectiles are performed. It is shown that the most important charactristics of heavy-ion diamond detectors are described by the shaping parameters of the detectors single pulse. Distributions of rise and decay times of the signals as well as of the associated charge amplitudes are discussed. An intrinsic time resolution...

[1] Using a three-dimensional multifluid simulation, we demonstrate the importance of ion gyroradius and heavy ion effects when characterizing Titan’s plasma interaction with the Kronian magnetosphere. Ion gyroradius and heavy ion effects drastically change the mass loading and magnetic field draping at Titan. We find that the large ion gyroradius of picked up ionospheric species results in an ...
