Squeezed Fermions at Relativistic Heavy Ion Colliders
Large back-to-back correlations of observable fermion -- anti-fermion pairs
are predicted to appear, if the mass of the fermions is modified in a
thermalized medium. The back-to-back correlations of protons and anti-protons
are experimentally observable in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions,
similarly to the Andreev reflection of electrons off the boundary of a
superconductor. While quantum statistics suppresses the probability of
observing pairs of fermions with nearby momenta, the fermionic back-to-back
correlations are positive and of similar strength to bosonic back-to-back
correlations.Comment: LaTeX, ReVTeX 12 pages, uses epsf.sty, 2 eps figures, improved

Effects of LatticeQCD EoS and Continuous Emission on Some ObseErvables
Effects of lattice-QCD-inspired equations of state and continuous emission on
some observables are discussed, by solving a 3D hydrodynamics. The particle
multiplicity as well as v2 are found to increase in the mid-rapidity. We also
discuss the effects of the initial-condition fluctuations.Comment: 6 pages, 10 figures, prepared for Workshop on Particle Correlations

Pion-Nucleus Scattering at Medium Energies with Densities from Chiral Effective Field Theories
Recently developed chiral effective field theory models provide excellent
descriptions of the bulk characteristics of finite nuclei, but have not been
tested with other observables. In this work, densities from both relativistic
point-coupling models and mean-field meson models are used in the analysis of
meson-nucleus scattering at medium energies. Elastic scattering observables for
790
MeV/ on Pb are calculated in a relativistic impulse
approximation, using the Kemmer-Duffin-Petiau formalism to calculate the
nucleus optical potential.Comment: 9 page
3D Relativistic Hydrodynamic Computations Using Lattice-QCD-Inspired Equations of State
In this communication, we report results of three-dimensional hydrodynamic
computations, by using equations of state with a critical end point as
suggested by the lattice QCD. Some of the results are an increase of the
multiplicity in the mid-rapidity region and a larger elliptic-flow parameter
v2. We discuss also the effcts of the initial-condition fluctuations and the
continuous emission.Comment: 10 pages, 16 figures, prepared for Quark Matter 2005 Conferenc
Nonextensive hydrodynamics for relativistic heavy-ion collisions
The nonextensive one-dimensional version of a hydrodynamical model for
multiparticle production processes is proposed and discussed. It is based on
nonextensive statistics assumed in the form proposed by Tsallis and
characterized by a nonextensivity parameter . In this formulation the
parameter characterizes some specific form of local equilibrium which is
characteristic for the nonextensive thermodynamics and which replaces the usual
local thermal equilibrium assumption of the usual hydrodynamical models. We
argue that there is correspondence between the perfect nonextensive
hydrodynamics and the usual dissipative hydrodynamics. It leads to simple
expression for dissipative entropy current and allows for predictions for the
ratio of bulk and shear viscosities to entropy density, and ,
to be made.Comment: Final version accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
Numerically improved computational scheme for the optical conductivity tensor in layered systems
The contour integration technique applied to calculate the optical
conductivity tensor at finite temperatures in the case of layered systems
within the framework of the spin-polarized relativistic screened
Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker band structure method is improved from the computational
point of view by applying the Gauss-Konrod quadrature for the integrals along
the different parts of the contour and by designing a cumulative special points
scheme for two-dimensional Brillouin zone integrals corresponding to cubic
systems.Comment: 17 pages, LaTeX + 4 figures (Encapsulated PostScript), submitted to
