Rapidity and energy dependence of average transverse momentum and particle density in saturation models
Saturation models -- colour glass condensate and string percolation -- impose
a strict relation between the average transverse momentum, , and the
rapidity particle densities, dn/dy. By combining this relation with an
appropriate evolution equation for dn/dy, and imposing energy-momentum
conservation, we obtain a fair description of data, for generic AB collisions
(hadron-hadron, hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus) at all rapidities and
(high) energies. Predictions are given for the LHC.Comment: 16 pages, 4 figures, 2 table
Forward-Backward rapidity correlations at all rapidities
We discuss forward-bacward rapidity correlations in the general situation of
asymmetrical collisions, asymmetric rapidity windows, higher rapidities and
higher energy. We give predictions for RHIC and LHC.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure
Thermal Dileptons at LHC
We predict dilepton invariant-mass spectra for central 5.5 ATeV Pb-Pb
collisions at LHC. Hadronic emission in the low-mass region is calculated using
in-medium spectral functions of light vector mesons within hadronic many-body
theory. In the intermediate-mass region thermal radiation from the Quark-Gluon
Plasma, evaluated perturbatively with hard-thermal loop corrections, takes
over. An important source over the entire mass range are decays of correlated
open-charm hadrons, rendering the nuclear modification of charm and bottom
spectra a critical ingredient.Comment: 2 pages, 2 figures, contributed to Workshop on Heavy Ion Collisions
