What is the temperature in heavy ion collisions?
We consider the Tsallis distribution as the source of the apparent slope of
one-particle spectra in heavy-ion collisions and investigate the equation of
state of this special quark matter in the framework of non-extensive
thermodynamics.Comment: Talk given by T.S.Biro at RHIC School 2003, Dec.8-11, 2003, Budapest,

Jet Modification in a Brick of QGP Matter
We have implemented the LPM effect into a microscopic transport model with
partonic degrees of freedom by following the algorithm of Zapp & Wiedemann. The
Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal (LPM) effect is a quantum interference process that
modifies the emission of radiation in the presence of a dense medium. In QCD
this results in a quadratic length dependence for radiative energy loss. This
is an important effect for the modification of jets by their passage through
the QGP.
We verify the leading parton energy loss in the model against the leading
order Baier-Dokshitzer-Mueller-Peigne-Schiff-Zakharov (BDMPS-Z) result.
We apply our model to the recent observations of the modification of di-jets
at the LHC.Comment: Presented at Panic 1

Jet quenching and broadening: the transport coefficient in an anisotropic plasma
The jet quenching parameter is analyzed for a quark jet propagating
in an anisotropic plasma. The momentum anisotropy is calculated at high
temperature of the underlying quark-gluon plasma. is explicitly
estimated in leading-logarithmic approximation by the broadening of the
massless quark interacting via gluon exchange. A plasma instability is present.
Strong indications are found that is increasing with increasing
anisotropy. Possible implications for the saturation scale in
collisions are pointed out.Comment: 1
Jet quenching with running coupling including radiative and collisional energy losses
We calculate the nuclear modification factor for RHIC and LHC conditions
accounting for the radiative and collisional parton energy loss with the
running coupling constant.We find that the RHIC data can be explained both in
the scenario with the chemically equilibrium quark-gluon plasma and purely
gluonic plasma with slightly different thermal suppression of the coupling
constant. The role of the parton energy gain due to gluon absorption is also
investigated. Our results show that the energy gain gives negligible effect.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figure
Solving the m-mixing problem for the three-dimensional time-dependent Schr\"{o}dinger equation by rotations: application to strong-field ionization of H2+
We present a very efficient technique for solving the three-dimensional
time-dependent Schrodinger equation. Our method is applicable to a wide range
of problems where a fullly three-dimensional solution is required, i.e., to
cases where no symmetries exist that reduce the dimensionally of the problem.
Examples include arbitrarily oriented molecules in external fields and atoms
interacting with elliptically polarized light. We demonstrate that even in such
cases, the three-dimensional problem can be decomposed exactly into two
two-dimensional problems at the cost of introducing a trivial rotation
transformation. We supplement the theoretical framework with numerical results
on strong-field ionization of arbitrarily oriented H2+ molecules.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
