Investigation of high p events in Nucleus-Nucleus collisions using the Hijing event generator
In recent years lot of interest has been observed in the nucleus-nucleus
collisions at RHIC energies in phenomena related to high physics
\cite{ref1}. The suppression of high particles and disappearance of
back-to-back jets compared to the scaling with number of binary nucleon-nucleon
collisions indicates that a nearly perfect liquid is produced in these
collisions. Results on self shadowing of high events are presented
using hadron multiplicity associated to high and unbiased events in
nucleus-nucleus collisions \cite{ref2} obtained from the hijing event
generator.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, Proceedings of the poster presented at Quark

Particle production azimuthal asymmetries in a clustering of color sources model
The collective interactions of many partons in the first stage of the
collisions is the usual accepted explanation of the sizable elliptical flow.
The clustering of color sources provides a framework of partonic interactions.
In this scheme, we show a reasonable agreement with RHIC data for pT<1.5 GeV/c
in both the dependence of v2 transverse momentum and in the shape of the
nuclear modified factor on the azimuthal angle for different centralities. We
show the predictions at LHC energies for Pb-Pb. In the case of proton-proton
collisions a sizable v2 is obtained at this energy.Comment: To appear in Journal of Physics
Nuclear like effects in proton-proton collisions at high energy
We show that several effects considered nuclear effects are not nuclear in
the sense that they do not only occur in nucleus-nucleus and hadron-nucleus
collisions but, as well, they are present in hadron-hadron (proton-proton)
collisions. The matter creation mechanism in hh, hA and AA collisions is always
the same. The pT suppression of particles produced in large multiplicity events
compared to low multiplicity events, the elliptic flow and the Cronin effect
are predicted to occur in pp collisions at LHC energies as a consequence of the
obtained high density partonic medium
Universal behavior of baryons and mesons' transverse momentum distributions in the framework of percolation of strings
In the framework of percolation of strings, we present predictions for the

Production of Secondaries in High Energy d+Au Collisions
In the framework of Quark-Gluon String Model we calculate the inclusive
spectra of secondaries produced in d+Au collisions at intermediate (CERN SPS)
and at much higher (RHIC) energies. The results of numerical calculations at
intermediate energies are in reasonable agreement with the data. At RHIC
energies numerically large inelastic screening corrections (percolation
effects) should be accounted for in calculations. We extract these effects from
the existing RHIC experimental data on minimum bias and central d+Au
collisions. The predictions for p+Au interactions at LHC energy are also given.Comment: 18 pages and 10 figure
Production of secondaries in soft p+pb collisions at LHC
We calculate the inclusive spectra of secondaries produced in soft (minimum
bias) p+Pb collisions in the framework of Quark-Gluon String Model at LHC
energy, and by taking into account the inelastic screening corrections
(percolation effects). The role of these effects is expected to be very large
at very high energies, and they should decrease the spectra about 3 times in
the midrapidity region and increase them about 2 times in the fragmentation
region at the energy of LHC.Comment: 18 pages and 10 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Elliptic flow from color strings
It is shown that the elliptic flow can be successfully described in the color
string picture with fusion and percolation provided anisotropy of particle
emission from the fused string is taken into account. Two possible sources of
this anisotropy are considered, propagation of the string in the transverse
plane and quenching of produced particles in the strong color field of the
string. Calculations show that the second source gives an overwhelming
contribution to the flow at accessible energies.Comment: 23 pages, 11 figure
Thermal Dileptons at LHC
We predict dilepton invariant-mass spectra for central 5.5 ATeV Pb-Pb
collisions at LHC. Hadronic emission in the low-mass region is calculated using
in-medium spectral functions of light vector mesons within hadronic many-body
theory. In the intermediate-mass region thermal radiation from the Quark-Gluon
Plasma, evaluated perturbatively with hard-thermal loop corrections, takes
over. An important source over the entire mass range are decays of correlated
open-charm hadrons, rendering the nuclear modification of charm and bottom
spectra a critical ingredient.Comment: 2 pages, 2 figures, contributed to Workshop on Heavy Ion Collisions
