On Boundedness of the Admissible Time Slowing Down by the Gravitational Field

It is shown that there exists, in the field theory of gravitation, contrary to the General Theory of Relativity (GTR), a bound for admissible time slowing down by the gravitational field which excludes a possibility of unbounded compression of matter by the gravity forces.Comment: 5 page

Impossibility of Unlimited Gravitational Collapse

It is shown that the gravitational field, as a physical field developing in the Minkowsky space, does not lead to unlimited gravitational collapse of massive bodies and, hence, excludes a possibility of the formation of the ``black holes''.Comment: 6 page

B_c Meson Production in Nuclear Collisions at RHIC

We study quantitatively the formation and evolution of B_c bound states in a space-time domain of deconfined quarks and gluons (quark-gluon plasma, QGP). At the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) one expects for the first time that typical central collisions will result in multiple pairs of heavy (in this case charmed) quarks. This provides a new mechanism for the formation of heavy quarkonia which depends on the properties of the deconfined region. We find typical enhancements of about 500 fold for the B_c production yields over expectations from the elementary coherent hadronic B_c-meson production scenario. The final population of bound states may serve as a probe of the plasma phase parameters.Comment: 9 Pages, 11 Postscript Figure

X-ray emission during the muonic cascade in hydrogen

We report our investigations of X rays emitted during the muonic cascade in hydrogen employing charge coupled devices as X-ray detectors. The density dependence of the relative X-ray yields for the muonic hydrogen lines (K_alpha, K_beta, K_gamma) has been measured at densities between 0.00115 and 0.97 of liquid hydrogen density. In this density region collisional processes dominate the cascade down to low energy levels. A comparison with recent calculations is given in order to demonstrate the influence of Coulomb deexcitation.Comment: 5 pages, Tex, 4 figures, submitted to Physical Review Letter
