Two-fireball phenomenon and the multiperipheral model
Journal ArticleIn the context of the Chew-Snider version of the Amati-Bertocchi-Fubini-Stanghellini-Tonin pion-exchange model, we investigate certain multiperipheral mechanisms that could account for those phenomena that have hitherto motivated the two-fireball model. These mechanisms are (1) double diffractive dissociation, (2) the presence of a sequence of neutral particles on the multiperipheral chain, and (3) statistical fluctuations in the log tanΞ spectrum. At cosmic-ray energies they are of equal importance
Prelude to Compressed Baryonic Matter
This is intended to appear as the introduction to "The CBM Physics Book:
compressed baryonic matter in laboratory experiments" (ed. B. Friman, C.
H\"ohne, S. Leupold, J. Knoll, J. Randrup, R. Rapp, P. Senger), to be published
by Springer. At the end there is a new proposal for numerically tractable
models of interacting many-body systems.Comment: 12 pages, to appear in "The CBM Book: compressed baryonic matter in

Possible Pseudogap Phase in QCD
Thermal pion fluctuations, in principle, can completely disorder the phase of
the quark condensate and thus restore chiral symmetry. If this happens before
the quark condensate melts, strongly-interacting matter will be in the
pseudogap state just above the chiral phase transition. The quark condensate
does not vanish locally and quarks acquire constituent masses in the pseudogap
phase, despite chiral symmetry is restored.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure; v2: references added; v3: argumerts modified; v4:

A Study of Meson Correlators at Finite Temperature
We present results for mesonic propagators in temporal and spatial directions
at T below and above the deconfining transition in quenched QCD. Anisotropic
lattices are used to get enough information in the temporal direction. We use
the Wilson fermion action for light quarks and Fermilab action for heavy
quarks.Comment: LATTICE 99 (finite temperature and density), 3 pages, LaTeX with 3

Potts Flux Tube Model at Nonzero Chemical Potential
We model the deconfinement phase transition in quantum chromodynamics at
nonzero baryon number density and large quark mass by extending the flux tube
model (three-state, three-dimensional Potts model) to nonzero chemical
potential. In a direct numerical simulation we confirm mean-field-theory
predictions that the deconfinement transition does not occur in a baryon-rich
environment.Comment: 14 pp RevTeX, 10 Postscript figures, submitted to Phys. Rev D.

Study of Charmonia near the deconfining transition on an anisotropic lattice with O(a) improved quark action
We study hadron properties near the deconfining transition in the quenched
lattice QCD simulation. This paper focuses on the heavy quarkonium states, such
as meson. In order to treat heavy quarks at , we adopt the
improved Wilson action on anisotropic lattice. We discuss bound
state observing the wave function and compare the meson correlators at above
and below . Although we find a large change of correlator near the ,
the strong spatial correlation which is almost the same as confinement phase
survives even .Comment: 19 pages, 10 figure
Meson Correlation Function and Screening Mass in Thermal QCD
Analytical results for the spatial dependence of the correlation functions
for all meson excitations in perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics, the lowest
order, are calculated. The meson screening mass is obtained as a large distance
limit of the correlation function. Our analysis leads to a better understanding
of the excitations of Quark Gluon Plasma at sufficiently large temperatures and
may be of relevance for future numerical calculations with fully interacting
Quantum Chromodynamics.Comment: 11 page
