Transverse-Mass Effective Temperature in Heavy-Ion Collisions from AGS to SPS
Transverse-mass spectra in Au+Au and Pb+Pb collisions in incident energy
range from 2A to 160A GeV are analyzed within the model of 3-fluid dynamics. It
is shown that dynamical description of freeze-out, accepted in this model,
naturally explains the incident energy behavior of inverse-slope parameters of
these spectra observed in experiment. Simultaneous reproduction of the
inverse-slopes of all considered particles (protons, pions and kaons) suggests
that these particles belong to the same hydrodynamic flow at the instant of
their freeze-out.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
NLO QCD method of the polarized SIDIS data analysis
Method of polarized semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) data
analysis in the next to leading order (NLO) QCD is developed. Within the method
one first directly extracts in NLO few first truncated (available to
measurement) Mellin moments of the quark helicity distributions. Second, using
these moments as an input to the proposed modification of the Jacobi polynomial
expansion method (MJEM), one eventually reconstructs the local quark helicity
distributions themselves. All numerical tests demonstrate that MJEM allows us
to reproduce with the high precision the input local distributions even inside
the narrow Bjorken region accessible for experiment. It is of importance
that only four first input moments are sufficient to achieve a good quality of
reconstruction. The application of the method to the simulated SIDIS data on
the pion production is considered. The obtained results encourage one that the
proposed NLO method can be successfully applied to the SIDIS data analysis. The
analysis of HERMES data on pion production is performed. To this end the pion
difference asymmetries are constructed from the measured by HERMES standard
semi-inclusive spin asymmetries. The LO results of the valence distribution
reconstruction are in a good accordance with the respective leading order SMC
and HERMES results, while the NLO results are in agreement with the existing
NLO parametrizations on these quantities
Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions within 3-Fluid Hydrodynamics: Hadronic Scenario
A 3-fluid hydrodynamic model for simulating relativistic heavy-ion collisions
is introduced. Alongside with two baryon-rich fluids, the new model considers
time-delayed evolution of a third, baryon-free (i.e. with zero net baryonic
charge) fluid of newly produced particles. Its evolution is delayed due to a
formation time, during which the baryon-free fluid neither thermalizes nor
interacts with the baryon-rich fluids. After the formation it starts to
interact with the baryon-rich fluids and quickly gets thermalized. Within this
model with pure hadronic equation of state, a systematic analysis of various
observables at incident energies between few and about 160A GeV has been done
as well as comparison with results of transport models. We have succeeded to
reasonably reproduce a great body of experimental data in the incident energy
range of E_{lab} = (1-160)A GeV. The list includes proton and pion rapidity
distributions, proton transverse-mass spectra, rapidity distributions of Lambda
and antiLambda hyperons, elliptic flow of protons and pions (with the exception
of proton v2 at 40A GeV), multiplicities of pions, positive kaons, phi-mesons,
hyperons and antihyperons, including multi-strange particles. This agreement is
achieved on the expense of substantial enhancement of the interflow friction as
compared to that estimated proceeding from hadronic free cross sections.
However, we have also found out certain problems. The calculated yield of K^-
is approximately by a factor of 1.5 higher than that in the experiment. We have
also failed to describe directed transverse flow of protons and pion at E_{lab}
> 40A GeV. This failure apparently indicates that the used EoS is too hard and
thereby leaves room for a phase transition.Comment: 30 pages, 20 figures, 2 tables. Version accepted for publication in

Evolution of Baryon-Free Matter Produced in Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions
A 3-fluid hydrodynamic model is introduced for simulating heavy-ion
collisions at incident energies between few and about 200 AGeV. In addition to
the two baryon-rich fluids of 2-fluid models, the new model incorporates a
third, baryon-free (i.e. with zero net baryonic charge) fluid which is created
in the mid-rapidity region. Its evolution is delayed due to a formation time
, during which the baryon-free fluid neither thermalizes nor interacts
with the baryon-rich fluids. After formation it thermalizes and starts to
interact with the baryon-rich fluids. It is found that for =0 the
interaction strongly affects the baryon-free fluid. However, at reasonable
finite formation time, =1 fm/c, the effect of this interaction turns out
to be substantially reduced although still noticeable. Baryonic observables are
only slightly affected by the interaction with the baryon-free fluid.Comment: 17 pages, 3 figures, submitted to the issue of Phys. of Atomic Nuclei

NLO QCD procedure of the semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering data analysis with respect to the light quark polarized sea
The semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) process is considered. A
theoretical procedure is proposed allowing the direct extraction from the SIDIS
data of the first moments of the polarized valence distributions and of the
first moment difference of the light sea quark polarized distributions in the
next to leading QCD order. The validity of the procedure is confirmed by the
respective simulations
