LWFA With Low Energy Raman Seeded Pulses
Analytical and numerical calculations of plasma wakefield excitation and particle acceleration by Raman seeded laser pulse in self-modulation regime are presented. We derive energy threshold for self-modulation of diffraction-limited pulses. The parameter range where the Raman seeded amplitude plays an important role is investigated. We show that the seeded amplitude provides a coherent control mechanism for the phase of the wakefield wave. We show that with the use of Raman seed self-modulated wakefield acceleration is achievable for the pulses of intensities much lower than those typically used in the experiments. In particular, our 2D particle-in-cell simulations show that 30 mJ pulse combined with Raman seeded pulse, which is 1% in intensity of the main pulse is capable of generating similar to1 nC of relativistic electrons.Physic
Away-side azimuthal distribution in a Markovian parton scattering model
An event generator is constructed on the basis of a model of multiple
scattering of partons so that the trajectory of a parton traversing a dense and
expanding medium can be tracked. The parameters in the code are adjusted to fit
the \Delta\phi azimuthal distribution on the far side when the trigger momentum
is in the non-perturbative region, p_T(trigger)<4 GeV/c. The dip-bump structure
for 1<p_T(assoc)<2.5 GeV/c is reproduced by averaging over the exit tracks of
deflected jets. An essential characteristic of the model, called Markovian
Parton Scattering (MPS) model, is that the scattering angle is randomly
selected in the forward cone at every step of a trajectory that is divided into
many discrete steps in a semi-classical approximation of the non-perturbative
scattering process. Energy loss to the medium is converted to thermal partons
which hadronize by recombination to give rise to the pedestal under the bumps.
When extended to high trigger momentum with \pt(trigger) >8 GeV/c, the model
reproduces the single-peak structure observed by STAR without invoking any new
dynamical mechanism.Comment: 20 pages + 3 figure
Correlations at intermediate
Correlations among hadrons in jets produced in heavy-ion collisions are
discussed in the framework of the recombination model. The basic correlation at
the parton level is among the shower partons arising from kinematical
constraint. The resultant correlation between hadrons at intermediate is
amazingly rich in characteristics.Comment: 10 pages including 12 figures. Talk presented at the MIT Workshop on

Influence of retardation effects on 2D magnetoplasmon spectrum
Within dissipationless limit the magnetic field dependence of magnetoplasmon
spectrum for unbounded 2DEG system found to intersect the cyclotron resonance
line, and, then approaches the frequency given by light dispersion relation.
Recent experiments done for macroscopic disc-shape 2DEG systems confirm theory
expectations.Comment: 2 pages,2 figure
