    Comment on "General nonlocality in quantum fields"

    In this paper, we first incorporate the weak interaction into the theory of General Nonlocality by finding a appropriate metric for it. Accordingly, we suggest the theoretical frame of General Nonlocality as the candidate theory of unifying three microscope interactions in low energy limit. In this unifying scenario, the essential role of photon field is stressed.Comment: Only partial content published in the following reference.

    Quark charge balance function and hadronization effects in relativistic heavy ion collisions

    Full text link
    We calculate the charge balance function of the bulk quark system before hadronization and those for the directly produced and the final hadron system in high energy heavy ion collisions. We use the covariance coefficient to describe the strength of the correlation between the momentum of the quark and that of the anti-quark if they are produced in a pair and fix the parameter by comparing the results for hadrons with the available data. We study the hadronization effects and decay contributions by comparing the results for hadrons with those for the bulk quark system. Our results show that while hadronization via quark combination mechanism slightly increases the width of the charge balance functions, it preserves the main features of these functions such as the longitudinal boost invariance and scaling properties in rapidity space. The influence from resonance decays on the width of the balance function is more significant but it does not destroy its boost invariance and scaling properties in rapidity space either. The balance functions in azimuthal direction are also presented.Comment: 9 figure

    Cosmological perturbations and noncommutative tachyon inflation

    Full text link
    The motivation for studying the rolling tachyon and non-commutative inflation comes from string theory. In the tachyon inflation scenario, metric perturbations are created by tachyon field fluctuations during inflation. We drive the exact mode equation for scalar perturbation of the metric and investigate the cosmological perturbations in the commutative and non-commutative inflationary spacetime driven by the tachyon field which have a Born-Infeld Lagrangian.Comment: 6 two-column pages, no figur
