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.
Experimental results on gamma-ray sources at E sub 0 = 10(13) - 10(14) eV
The detection of very high energy gamma ray sources has been reported in the last few years by means of extensive air shower observations. The Plateau Rosa array for the registration of the arrival directions of extensive air showers has been operating since 1980 and first results on Cygnus X-3 have been reported. Here, the status of observations of Cygnus X-3 and of the Crab Pulsar are reported
The angular resolution of air shower gamma ray telescopes
A crucial charactristic of air shower arrays in the field of high energy gamma-ray astronomy is their angular resolving power, the arrival directions being obtained by the time of flight measurements. A small air shower array-telescope is used to study the resolution in the definition of the shower front as a function of the shower size
Chiral Symmetry in Charmonium - Pion Cross Section
We perform a non-perturbative calculation of the cross section
using a effective Lagrangian. Our results differ from those
of previous calculations, specially in the description of vertices involving
pions.Comment: 6 pages, RevTeX including 2 figures in eps file
A study of the - coupled systems
We study the strangeness meson-baryon systems to obtain improved
and amplitudes and to look for a possible resonance formation by the
- coupled interaction. We obtain amplitudes for light vector
meson-baryon systems by implementing the -, -, - channel diagrams and
a contact interaction. The pseudoscalar meson-baryon interactions are obtained
by relying on the Weinberg-Tomozawa theorem. The transition amplitudes between
the systems consisting of pseudoscalars and vector mesons are calculated by
extending the Kroll-Ruderman term for pion photoproduction replacing the photon
by a vector meson. We fix the subtraction constants required to calculate the
loops by fitting our amplitudes to the data available for the isospin 0
and 1 -wave phase shifts. We provide the scattering lengths and the total
cross sections for the and systems obtained in our model, which
can be useful in future in-medium calculations. Our amplitudes do not
correspond to formation of any resonance in none of the isospin and spin
configurations.Comment: Published version, sent to avoid confusions recently noticed by
