Gluon shadowing in the Glauber-Gribov model at HERA
We calculate shadowing using new data on the gluon density of the Pomeron
recently measured with high precision at HERA. The calculations are made in a
Glauber-Gribov framework and Pomeron tree-diagrams are summed up within a
unitarity-conserving procedure. The total cross section of \vphot A
interaction is then found in a parameter-free description, employing gluon
diffractive and inclusive distribution functions as input. A strong shadowing
effect is obtained, in good agreement with several other models. Impact
parameter dependence of gluon shadowing is also presented.Comment: 18 pages, 6 figures; references added, discussion of model enlarged,

The Shear Viscosity to Entropy Density Ratio of Trapped Fermions in the Unitarity Limit
We extract the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio \eta/s of cold
fermionic atoms in the unitarity limit from experimental data on the damping of
collective excitations. We find that near the critical temperature \eta/s is
roughly equal to 1/2 in units of \hbar/k_B. With the possible exception of the
quark gluon plasma, this value is closer to the conjectured lower bound
1/(4\pi) than any other known liquid.Comment: published versio
Gluon shadowing and unitarity effects
New data from HERA experiment on deep inelastic scattering have been used to
parametrize nucleon and Pomeron structure functions. Within the Gribov theory,
the parameterizations were employed to calculate gluon shadowing for various
heavy ions. The latter was compared with predictions from other models.
Calculations of multiplicity reduction due to gluon shadowing for d+Au

Recent results from BRAHMS
The BRAHMS collaboration ended its data collection program in 2006. We are
now well advanced in the analysis of a comprehensive set of data that spans
systems ranging in mass from p+p to Au+Au and in energy from to 200 GeV. Our analysis has taken two distinct paths: we explore the
rapidity dependence of intermediate and high-transverse-momentum,
identified-particle production, thus helping to characterize the
strongly-interacting quark-gluon plasma (sQGP) formed at RHIC; we also explore
particle yields at lower transverse momentum to develop a systematic
understanding of bulk particle production at RHIC energies.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, presented at the 20th International Conference on

Modeling the jet quenching, thermal resonance production and hydrodynamical flow in relativistic heavy ion collisions
The event topology in relativistic heavy ion collisions is determined by
various multi-particle production mechanisms. The simultaneous model treatment
of different collective nuclear effects at high energies (such as a hard
multi-parton fragmentation in hot QCD-matter, thermal resonance production,
hydrodynamical flows, etc.) is actual but rather complicated task. We discuss
the simulation of the above effects by means of Monte-Carlo model HYDJET++.Comment: Talk given at Workshop "Hot Quarks 2010" (La Londe Les Maures,

Elliptical Flow in Relativistic Ion Collisions at s^(1/2)= 200 A GeV
A consistent picture of the Au+Au and D+Au, s^1/2 = 200 A GeV measurements at
RHIC obtained with the PHENIX, STAR, PHOBOS and BRAHMS detectors including both
the rapidity and transverse momentum spectra was previously developed with the
simulation LUCIFER. The approach was modeled on the early production of a fluid
of pre-hadrons after the completion of an initial, phase of high energy
interactions. The formation of pre-hadrons is discussed here, in a perturbative
QCD approach as advocated by Kopeliovich, Nemchik and Schmidt. In the second
phase of LUCIFER, a considerably lower energy hadron-like cascade ensues. Since
the dominant collisions occurring in this latter phase are meson-meson in
character while the initial collisions are between baryons, i.e. both involve
hadron sized interaction cross-sections, there is good reason to suspect that
the observed elliptical flow will be produced naturally, and this is indeed
found to be the case.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figure
