Cumulants of QCD Multiplicity Distributions in Small Phase Space Bins
It is shown that, as functions of their rank, cumulants of QCD multiplicity
distributions in small phase space bins possess the quasi- oscillating behavior
similar to that found for them in the total rapidity range. First minimum moves
to lower ranks for smaller bins. For the total rapidity range, it moves to
higher ranks with energy increase. The running property of the QCD coupling
constant is in charge of these effects which can be verified in experiment.Comment: 7 pages, no Figs, preprint IP-ASTP-19; FIAN-TD 94/
The medium in heavy-ion collisions
The nuclear index of refraction, the density of partons, their free path
length and energy loss in the matter created in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC
are estimated within the suggestion that the emission of Cherenkov gluons is
responsible for the observed two-bump structure of the angular distribution of
hadrons belonging to the companion (away-side) jet.Comment: 3 pages, 1 Figur
High energy Cherenkov gluons at RHIC and LHC
The collective effect of emission by the forward moving partons of high
energy Cherenkov gluons in nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC and LHC energies
is considered. It can reveal itself as peaks in the pseudorapidity distribution
of jets at midrapidities or as a ring-like structure of individual events in
event-by-event analysis. The pseudorapidity distribution of centers of dense
isolated groups of particles in HIJING model is determined. It can be
considered as the background for Cherenkov gluons. If peaks above this
background were found in experiment, they would indicate new collective
effects.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figure
A Large Distance Expansion for Quantum Field Theory
Using analyticity of the vacuum wave-functional under complex scalings, the
vacuum of a quantum field theory may be reconstructed from a derivative
expansion valid for slowly varying fields. This enables the eigenvalue problem
for the Hamiltonian to be reduced to algebraic equations. Applied to Yang-Mills
theory this expansion leads to a confining force between quarks.Comment: 5 pages, latex, invited talk at the Second International Sakharov

The background for Cherenkov gluons at RHIC and LHC energies
The pseudorapidity distribution of centers of dense isolated groups of
particles in HIJING model is determined. It can be considered as the background
for Cherenkov gluons. If peaks over this background were found in experiment,
they would indicate the onset of new collective effects.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, uses espcrc1.sty; QM 2005 contributio
Energy dependence of mean multiplicities in gluon and quark jets at the next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order
Analytic predictions for the energy dependence of the mean multiplicities in
gluon and quark jets are presented at the next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order
(3NLO) of perturbative QCD and are compared to experiment. The 3NLO correction
to the gluon jet multiplicity is found to be small. The corresponding
theoretical expression provides a good description of available gluon jet
measurements. In contrast, the 3NLO correction to the quark jet multiplicity is
large and the theoretical expression does not describe the data accurately. It
is shown that the well known success of the next-to-leading order (NLO)
approximation in describing the energy evolution of quark jet multiplicity can
be attributed to the equivalence of the quark and gluon expressions at NLO to
within a constant factor, and to almost constant contributions from higher
order terms to the gluon jet result
On distribution of number of trades in different time windows in the stock market
Properties of distributions of the number of trades in different intraday
time intervals for five stocks traded in MICEX are studied. The dependence of
the mean number of trades on the capital turnover is analyzed. Correlation
analysis using factorial and moments demonstrates the multifractal nature
of these distributions as well as some peculiar changes in the correlation
pattern. Guided by the analogy with the analysis of particle multiplicity
distributions in multiparticle production at high energies, an evolution
equation relating changes in capital turnover and a number of trades is
proposed. We argue that such equation can describe the observed features of the
distribution of the number of trades in the stock market.Comment: LaTeX, 6 figure
Comparative Analysis of Multiplicity Distributions in Inelastic Processes for Different Colliding Particles and Nuclei
Theoretical prediction of oscillations of cumulant moments of parton
multiplicity distributions inside a jet supported by experimental data in some
multiple production processes asks for analysis of the phenomenon for the whole
set of available reactions. We have found out that the oscillations persist in
any kind of processes and increase for particles with more complicated
structure i.e. in the order of ee, eh, hh, hA, AA. The effect is not strongly
dependent on the available phase space. Theoretical values of moments for quark
and gluon jets up to 5th rank are shown. Zeros of the truncated generating
function and singularities of the total generating function are discussed.Comment: revised version -- no changes in the text, corrected 3 references; 10

Cherenkov Glue in Opaque Nuclear Medium
The spectrum of Cherenkov gluons is calculated within the framework of
in-medium QCD. It is compared with experimental data on the double-humped
structure around the away-side jet obtained at RHIC. The values of the real and
imaginary parts of the nuclear permittivity are obtained from these fits. It is
shown that accounting for an additional smearing due to resonance-like
production of final hadrons allows to achieve an agreement with experimental
data
Fractional Fokker-Planck Equation and Oscillatory Behavior of Cumulant Moments
The Fokker-Planck equation is considered, which is connected to the birth and
death process with immigration by the Poisson transform. The fractional
derivative in time variable is introduced into the Fokker-Planck equation. From
its solution (the probability density function), the generating function (GF)
for the corresponding probability distribution is derived. We consider the case
when the GF reduces to that of the negative binomial distribution (NBD), if the
fractional derivative is replaced to the ordinary one. Formulas of the
factorial moment and the moment are derived from the GF. The moment
derived from the GF of the NBD decreases monotonously as the rank j increases.
However, the moment derived in our approach oscillates, which is
contrasted with the case of the NBD. Calculated moments are compared with
those given from the data in collisions and in collisions.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.
