The initial energy density of gluons produced in very high energy nuclear collisions
In very high energy nuclear collisions, the initial energy of produced gluons
per unit area per unit rapidity, , is equal to , where is proportional to the gluon density per unit
area of the colliding nuclei. For an SU(2) gauge theory, we perform a
non--perturbative numerical computation of the function . It
decreases rapidly for small but varies only by %, from
to , for a wide range 35.36--296.98 in , including the range relevant for collisions at RHIC and LHC. Extrapolating
to SU(3), we estimate the initial energy per unit rapidity for Au-Au collisions
in the central region at RHIC and LHC.Comment: 11 pages, Latex, 3 figures; revised version-includes additional

Eikonal Evolution and Gluon Radiation
We give a simple quantum mechanical formulation of the eikonal propagation
approximation, which has been heavily used in recent years in problems
involving hadronic interactions at high energy. This provides a unified
framework for several approaches existing in the literature. We illustrate this
scheme by calculating the total, elastic, inelastic and diffractive DIS cross
sections, as well as gluon production in high energy hadronic collisions. From
the q-qbar-g-component of the DIS cross sections, we straightforwardly derive
low x evolution equations for inelastic and diffractive DIS distribution
functions. In all calculations, we provide all order 1/N corrections to the
results existing in the literature.Comment: 40 pages, LaTeX, 3 eps-figures, typos corrected, to be published in

Dilepton low suppression as an evidence of the Color Glass Condensate
The dilepton production is investigated in proton-nucleus collisions in the
forward region using the Color Glass Condensate approach. The transverse
momentum distribution (), more precisely the low region, where the
saturation effects are expected to increase, is analyzed. The ratio between
proton-nucleus and proton-proton differential cross section for RHIC and LHC
energies is evaluated, showing the effects of saturation at small , and
presenting a Cronin type peak at moderate . These features indicate the
dilepton as a most suitable probe to study the properties of the saturated
regime and the Cronin effect.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figures, replaced with the version to appear in Physical

The initial gluon multiplicity in heavy ion collisions
The initial gluon multiplicity per unit area per unit rapidity, dN/L^2/d\eta,
in high energy nuclear collisions, is equal to f_N (g^2\mu L) (g^2\mu)^2/g^2,
with \mu^2 proportional to the gluon density per unit area of the colliding
nuclei. For an SU(2) gauge theory, we compute f_N (g^2\mu L)=0.14\pm 0.01 for a
wide range in g^2\mu L. Extrapolating to SU(3), we predict dN/L^2/d\eta for
values of g^2\mu L in the range relevant to the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider
and the Large Hadron Collider. We compute the initial gluon transverse momentum
distribution, dN/L^2/d^2 k_\perp, and show it to be well behaved at low
k_\perp.Comment: LaTex 10 pgs., 3 figure
Induced photon emission from quark jets in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions
We study the induced photon bremsstrahlung from a fast quark produced in
AA-collisions due to multiple scattering in quark-gluon plasma. For RHIC and
LHC conditions the induced photon spectrum is sharply peaked at photon energy
close to the initial quark energy. In this region the contribution of the
induced radiation to the photon fragmentation function exceeds the ordinary
vacuum radiation. Contrary to previous analyses our results show that at RHIC
and LHC energies the final-state interaction effects in quark-gluon plasma do
not suppress the direct photon production, and even may enhance it at p_{T}
about 5-15 GeV.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figure
Parton Saturation-An Overview
The idea of partons and the utility of using light-cone gauge in QCD are
introduced. Saturation of quark and gluon distributions are discussed using
simple models and in a more general context. The Golec-Biernat W\usthoff model
and some simple phenomenology are described. A simple, but realistic, equation
for unitary, the Kovchegov equation, is discussed, and an elementary derivation
of the JIMWLK equation is given.Comment: Cargese Lectures, 34 pages, 19 figure
Thermal Time Scales in a Color Glass Condensate
In a model of relativistic heavy ion collisions wherein the unconfined
quark-gluon plasma is condensed into glass, we derive the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann
cooling law. This law is well known to hold true in condensed matter glasses.
The high energy plasma is initially created in a very hot negative temperature
state and cools down to the Hagedorn glass temperature at an ever decreasing
rate. The cooling rate is largely determined by the QCD string tension derived
from hadronic Regge trajectories. The ultimately slow relaxation time is a
defining characteristic of a color glass condensate.Comment: 5 pages, ReVTeX format, nofigure
Razvoj radiomarkiranog β-humanog koriogonadotropina
-human chorionic gonadotropin (-hCG) was successively labeled with [67Ga] gallium chloride after conjugation with freshly prepared diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid dianhydride (ccDTPA). After solid phase purification of the radiolabeled hormone, high performance liquid chromatography showed radiochemical purity higher than 95 % under optimized conditions (specific activity = 2223 TBq mM1, labeling efficiency 80 %). Preliminary in vivo studies (ID g1, %) in male wild-type rats showed marked gonadal uptake of the tracer after 240 minutes in agreement with the biodistribution studies and reported -hCG receptors. Target to blood ratios were 5.1 and 15.2 after 3 and 24 hours, respectively, while target to muscle ratios were 35 and 40 after 3 and 24 hours, respectively.Beta-humani korionski gonadotropin (beta-hCG) uspješno je markiran s [67Ga] galijevim kloridom nakon konjugacije sa svježe priređenim dianhidridom dietilentriaminpentaoctene kiseline (ccDTPA). Nakon čišćenja radiomarkiranog hormona na čvrstoj fazi, radiokemijska čistoća bila je prema HPLC veća od 95 % (specifična aktivnost = 22-23 TBq mM-1, učinkovitost markiranja 80 %). Preliminarni in vivo pokusi (ID g-1, %) na mužjacima divljeg tipa štakora pokazali su da obilježeni hormon značajno ulazi u gonade nakon 240 minuta, što je u suglasnosti s ispitivanjima biodistribucije i podacima o receptorima za beta-hCG. Omjer koncentracija u gonadama i krvi bio je 5,1, odnosno 15,2 nakon 3, odnosno 24 sata, dok je omjer koncentracija u gonadama i mišićima bio 35, odnosno 40 nakon 3, odnosno 24 sata
Dipole model for double meson production in two-photon interactions at high energies
In this work the double vector meson production in two-photon interactions at
high energies is investigated considering saturation physics. We extend the
color dipole picture for this process and study the energy and virtuality
dependence of the forward differential cross section. Comparison with previous
results is presented and the contribution of the different photon polarizations
is estimated.Comment: 20 pages, 8 figures, 1 table. Version to be published in European

Limiting fragmentation in hadron-hadron collisions at high energies
Limiting fragmentation in proton-proton, deuteron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus
collisions is analyzed in the framework of the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation in
high energy QCD. Good agreement with experimental data is obtained for a wide
range of energies. Further detailed tests of limiting fragmentation at RHIC and
the LHC will provide insight into the evolution equations for high energy QCD.Comment: 28 pages, 10 figures (2 new figures, text slightly expanded, and some
