Anti-nuclei and nuclei production in Pb+Pb collisions at CERN SPS energies
We present new results on production of 3He and t obtained by the NA49
experiment in 20A, 30A, 40A and 80A GeV central Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN
SPS. Transverse mass spectra and rapidity distributions for clusters measured
over a large phase space domain are discussed. We observe a weak dependence of
the mid-rapidity t/3He ratio on collision energy at SPS. The energy dependence
of the total yield for 3He is remarkably reproduced by a statistical hadron gas
model. A gradual decrease of the coalescence parameter B3 for 3He with is observed.In addition, a measurement of the yield of anti-deuterons
in Pb+Pb reactions at SPS's top energy of = 17.2 GeV is
presented.Comment: 4 pages, 8 figures. Talk at HEP07, Manchester, July 19-25, 2007;

production and Cronin effect from p+p, d+Au and Au+Au collisions at GeV from the PHENIX experiment
We present results on identified particle production in p+p, d+Au and Au+Au
collisions at GeV at mid-rapidity measured by the PHENIX
experiment. The centrality and flavor dependence of the Cronin effect in d+Au
collisions is measured. The Cronin effect for the protons in d+Au is larger
than that for the pions, but not large enough to account for the ``anomalous''
proton to pion ratio in central Au+Au collisions.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, contribution to the proceedings of the 17th

Centrality and dE_{T}/d\etadN_{ch}/d\eta$ in Heavy Ion Collisions at Mid-Rapidity
The PHENIX experiment at RHIC has measured transverse energy and charged
particle multiplicity at mid-rapidity in Au + Au collisions at
= 19.6, 130, 62.4 and 200 GeV as a function of centrality. The presented
results are compared to measurements from other RHIC experiments, and
experiments at lower energies. The dependence of
and per pair of participants is consistent with logarithmic
scaling for the most central events. The centrality dependence of
and is similar at all measured incident
energies. At RHIC energies the ratio of transverse energy per charged particle
was found independent of centrality and growing slowly with . A
survey of comparisons between the data and available theoretical models is also
presented.Comment: Proccedings of the Workshop: Focus on Multiplcity at Bari, Italy,

Event-by-Event Fluctuations at 40, 80, and 158 AGeV/c in Pb+Au Collisions
Event-by-event fluctuations of mean pt and net charge in 40, 80, and 158
AGeV/c Pb+Au collisions are presented. The observed dynamical mean pt
fluctuations in central events of about 1 % are very similar to results from
RHIC. The centrality dependence of mean pt fluctuations at 158 AGeV/c shows a
peculiar non-monotonic pattern with respect to the extrapolation from the
fluctuations measured in p+p collisions. Dynamical net charge fluctuations
smaller than the charge conservation limit are observed. After correction for
charge conservation, the measured fluctuation signal in central events is
comparable to RHIC results.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figures, proceedings of the Quark Matter 2004, in Oakland,

Particle dependence of elliptic flow in Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV
The elliptic flow parameter () for and
has been measured at mid-rapidity in Au + Au collisions at
GeV by the STAR collaboration. The values for both
and saturate at moderate , deviating
from the hydrodynamic behavior observed in the lower region. The
saturated values and the scales where the deviation begins are
particle dependent. The particle-type dependence of shows features
expected from the hadronization of a partonic ellipsoid by coalescence of
co-moving quarks. These results will be discussed in relation to the nuclear
modification factor () which has also been measured for and
by the STAR collaboration.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, Strange Quark Matter 2003 Conference (SQM 2003):

Estimations of at RHIC from a QGP Model with Diquarks
Assuming that axial-vector and scalar diquarks exist in the Quark-Gluon
Plasma near the critical temporature , baryons can be produced from
quark-diquark interactions. In RHIC conditions ( and
), the ratio may be larger than 1, based on
the concept that QGP with diquarks would exist. This unusual result might be a
helpful evidence for QGP existing in RHIC.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure. accepted by J.Phys.

Proton-Nucleus Collisions at the LHC: Scientific Opportunities and Requirements
Proton-nucleus (p+A) collisions have long been recognized as a crucial
component of the physics programme with nuclear beams at high energies, in
particular for their reference role to interpret and understand nucleus-nucleus
data as well as for their potential to elucidate the partonic structure of
matter at low parton fractional momenta (small-x). Here, we summarize the main
motivations that make a proton-nucleus run a decisive ingredient for a
successful heavy-ion programme at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and we
present unique scientific opportunities arising from these collisions. We also
review the status of ongoing discussions about operation plans for the p+A mode
at the LHC.Comment: 33 pages, 15 Figure
