Finite size of hadrons and Bose-Einstein Correlations

In this presentation I report on the results of the paper we published recently together with Kacper Zalewski. It exploits the consequences of the observation that the hadrons, being the composite objects, cannot be produced too close to each other and thus must be correlated in space-time. One of these consequences, which we discuss here, is that the correlation function need not be larger than 1 (as is necessary if the space-time correlations are absent). Since the data from LEP and from LHC do show that the correlation function falls below 1, the particles must be correlated and we show that our observation does explain this unexpected effect.Comment: Contribution to WPCF 2014, Gyongyos, Hungar

Short-range two-particle correlations from statistical clusters

The two-particle short-range correlation functions in rapidity, azimuthal angle and transverse momentum, following from the decay of statistical clusters are evaluated and discussed.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures; comments and figures adde

Multi-particle correlations in transverse momenta from statistical clusters

We evaluate $n$-particle ($n=2,3,4,5$) transverse momentum correlations for pions and kaons following from the decay of statistical clusters. These correlation functions could provide strong constraints on a possible existence of thermal clusters in the process of particle production.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures; published versio

Blast-wave model description of the Hanbury-Brown--Twiss radii in pp collisions at LHC energies

The blast wave model is applied to the recent data on HBT radii in pp collisions, measured by the ALICE collaboration. A reasonable description of data is obtained for a rather low temperature of the kinetic freeze-out, T ~ 100 MeV, and the transverse profile corresponding to the emission from a shell of a fairly small width 2 d ~ 1.5 fm. The size and the life-time of the produced system are determined for various multiplicities of the produced particles.Comment: version published in J. Phys.

Finite size of hadrons and Bose-Einstein correlations in pppp collisions at 7 TeV

Space-time correlations between produced particles, induced by the composite nature of hadrons, imply specific changes in the properties of the correlation functions for identical particles. The expected magnitude of these effects is evaluated using the recently published blast-wave model analysis of the data for $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV.Comment: The updated version matching the published PLB articl

Bose-Einstein correlations and thermal cluster formation in high-energy collisions

The blast wave model is generalized to include the production of thermal clusters, as suggested by the apparent success of the statistical model of particle production at high energies. The formulae for the HBT correlation functions and the corresponding HBT radii are derived.Comment: minor text corrections, a few references added, version accepted for publication in APP

Femtoscopy of stopped protons

The longitudinal proton-proton femtoscopy (HBT) correlation function, based on the idea that in a heavy ion collision at $\sqrt{s} \lesssim 20$ GeV stopped protons are likely to be separated in configuration space, is evaluated. It shows a characteristic oscillation which appears sufficiently pronounced to be accessible in experiment. The proposed measurement is essential for estimating the baryon density in the central rapidity region, and can be also viewed as an (almost) direct verification of the Lorentz contraction of the fast-moving nucleus.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures; discussion on strong and Coulomb interactions include

Common Criteria Related Security Design Patterns for Intelligent Sensors—Knowledge Engineering-Based Implementation

Intelligent sensors experience security problems very similar to those inherent to other kinds of IT products or systems. The assurance for these products or systems creation methodologies, like Common Criteria (ISO/IEC 15408) can be used to improve the robustness of the sensor systems in high risk environments. The paper presents the background and results of the previous research on patterns-based security specifications and introduces a new ontological approach. The elaborated ontology and knowledge base were validated on the IT security development process dealing with the sensor example. The contribution of the paper concerns the application of the knowledge engineering methodology to the previously developed Common Criteria compliant and pattern-based method for intelligent sensor security development. The issue presented in the paper has a broader significance in terms that it can solve information security problems in many application domains
