Rapidity and energy dependence of average transverse momentum and particle density in saturation models
Saturation models -- colour glass condensate and string percolation -- impose
a strict relation between the average transverse momentum, , and the
rapidity particle densities, dn/dy. By combining this relation with an
appropriate evolution equation for dn/dy, and imposing energy-momentum
conservation, we obtain a fair description of data, for generic AB collisions
(hadron-hadron, hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus) at all rapidities and
(high) energies. Predictions are given for the LHC.Comment: 16 pages, 4 figures, 2 table
Forward-Backward rapidity correlations at all rapidities
We discuss forward-bacward rapidity correlations in the general situation of
asymmetrical collisions, asymmetric rapidity windows, higher rapidities and
higher energy. We give predictions for RHIC and LHC.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure
Scaling laws for the elastic scattering amplitude
The partial differential equation for the imaginary part of the elastic
scattering amplitude is derived. It is solved in the black disk limit. The
asymptotical scaling behavior of the amplitude coinciding with the geometrical
scaling is proved. Its extension to preasymptotical region and modifications of
scaling laws for the differential cross section are considered.Comment: 6 p. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1206.547
Percolation approach to quark gluon plasma in high energy pp collisions
We apply continuum percolation to proton-proton collisions and look for the
possible threshold to phase transition from confined nuclear matter to quark
gluon plasma. Making the assumption that J/Psi suppression is a good signal to
the transition, we discuss this phenomenon for pp collisions, in the framework
of a dual model with strings.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figure
Stabilizing sodium hypochlorite at high pH: effects on soft tissue and dentin
NaOH-stabilized NaOCl solutions have a higher alkaline capacity and are thus more proteolytic than standard counterparts
Particle production azimuthal asymmetries in a clustering of color sources model
The collective interactions of many partons in the first stage of the
collisions is the usual accepted explanation of the sizable elliptical flow.
The clustering of color sources provides a framework of partonic interactions.
In this scheme, we show a reasonable agreement with RHIC data for pT<1.5 GeV/c
in both the dependence of v2 transverse momentum and in the shape of the
nuclear modified factor on the azimuthal angle for different centralities. We
show the predictions at LHC energies for Pb-Pb. In the case of proton-proton
collisions a sizable v2 is obtained at this energy.Comment: To appear in Journal of Physics
