Identification of baryon resonances in central heavy-ion collisions at energies between 1 and 2 AGeV
The mass distributions of baryon resonances populated in near-central
collisions of Au on Au and Ni on Ni are deduced by defolding the spectra
of charged pions by a method which does not depend on a specific resonance
shape. In addition the mass distributions of resonances are obtained from the
invariant masses of pairs. With both methods the deduced mass
distributions are shifted by an average value of -60 MeV/c relative to the
mass distribution of the free resonance, the distributions
descent almost exponentially towards mass values of 2000 MeV/c^2. The observed
differences between and pairs indicate a contribution
of isospin resonances. The attempt to consistently describe the
deduced mass distributions and the reconstructed kinetic energy spectra of the
resonances leads to new insights about the freeze out conditions, i.e. to
rather low temperatures and large expansion velocities.Comment: 30 pages, 13 figures, Latex using documentstyle[12pt,a4,epsfig], to

Dragon-kings: mechanisms, statistical methods and empirical evidence
This introductory article presents the special Discussion and Debate volume
"From black swans to dragon-kings, is there life beyond power laws?" published
in Eur. Phys. J. Special Topics in May 2012. We summarize and put in
perspective the contributions into three main themes: (i) mechanisms for
dragon-kings, (ii) detection of dragon-kings and statistical tests and (iii)
empirical evidence in a large variety of natural and social systems. Overall,
we are pleased to witness significant advances both in the introduction and
clarification of underlying mechanisms and in the development of novel
efficient tests that demonstrate clear evidence for the presence of
dragon-kings in many systems. However, this positive view should be balanced by
the fact that this remains a very delicate and difficult field, if only due to
the scarcity of data as well as the extraordinary important implications with
respect to hazard assessment, risk control and predictability.Comment: 20 page

Central Collisions of Au on Au at 150, 250 and 400 A MeV
Collisions of Au on Au at incident energies of 150, 250 and 400 A MeV were
studied with the FOPI-facility at GSI Darmstadt. Nuclear charge (Z < 16) and
velocity of the products were detected with full azimuthal acceptance at
laboratory angles of 1-30 degrees. Isotope separated light charged particles
were measured with movable multiple telescopes in an angular range of 6-90
degrees. Central collisions representing about 1 % of the reaction cross
section were selected by requiring high total transverse energy, but vanishing
sideflow. The velocity space distributions and yields of the emitted fragments
are reported. The data are analysed in terms of a thermal model including
radial flow. A comparison with predictions of the Quantum Molecular Model is
presented.Comment: LateX text 62 pages, plus six Postscript files with a total of 34
