Heavy flavor in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
We study charm production in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions by using
the Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach. The initial charm
quarks are produced by the PYTHIA event generator tuned to fit the transverse
momentum spectrum and rapidity distribution of charm quarks from Fixed-Order
Next-to-Leading Logarithm (FONLL) calculations. The produced charm quarks
scatter in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) with the off-shell partons whose masses
and widths are given by the Dynamical Quasi-Particle Model (DQPM), which
reproduces the lattice QCD equation-of-state in thermal equilibrium. The
relevant cross sections are calculated in a consistent way by employing the
effective propagators and couplings from the DQPM. Close to the critical energy
density of the phase transition, the charm quarks are hadronized into
mesons through coalescence and/or fragmentation. The hadronized mesons then
interact with the various hadrons in the hadronic phase with cross sections
calculated in an effective lagrangian approach with heavy-quark spin symmetry.
The nuclear modification factor and the elliptic flow of
mesons from PHSD are compared with the experimental data from the STAR
Collaboration for Au+Au collisions at =200 GeV and to the ALICE
data for Pb+Pb collisions at =2.76 TeV. We find that in the
PHSD the energy loss of mesons at high can be dominantly attributed
to partonic scattering while the actual shape of versus reflects
the heavy-quark hadronization scenario, i.e. coalescence versus fragmentation.
Also the hadronic rescattering is important for the at low and
enhances the -meson elliptic flow .Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures, to be published in the Proceedings of the 15th

Electroeluting DNA Fragments
Purified DNA fragments are used for different purposes in Molecular Biology and they can be prepared by several procedures. Most of them require a previous electrophoresis of the DNA fragments in order to separate the band of interest. Then, this band is excised out from an agarose or acrylamide gel and purified by using either: binding and elution from glass or silica particles, DEAE-cellulose membranes, "crush and soak method", electroelution or very often expensive commercial purification kits. Thus, selecting a method will depend mostly of what is available in the laboratory. The electroelution procedure allows one to purify very clean DNA to be used in a large number of applications (sequencing, radiolabeling, enzymatic restriction, enzymatic modification, cloning etc). This procedure consists in placing DNA band-containing agarose or acrylamide slices into sample wells of the electroeluter, then applying current will make the DNA fragment to leave the agarose and thus be trapped in a cushion salt to be recovered later by ethanol precipitation
Strange and heavy mesons in hot and dense nuclear matter: hadronic models and transport simulations for a road to FAIR
Appearance of room temperature ferromagnetism in Cu-doped TiO films
In recent years there has been an intense search for room temperature
ferromagnetism in doped dilute semiconductors, which have many potentially
applications in spintronics and optoelectronics. We report here the unexpected
observation of significant room temperature ferromagnetism in a semiconductor
doped with nonmagnetic impurities, Cu-doped TiO thin films grown by Pulsed
Laser Deposition. The magnetic moment, calculated from the magnetization
curves, resulted surprisingly large, about 1.5 per Cu atom. A large
magnetic moment was also obtained from ab initio calculations using the
supercell method for TiO with Cu impurities, but only if an oxygen vacancy
in the nearest-neighbour shell of Cu was present. This result suggests that the
role of oxygen vacancies is crucial for the appearance of ferromagnetism. The
calculations also predict that Cu doping favours the formation of oxygen
vacancies.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, published in Phys. Rev. B (Rapid Comm.
Heavy mesons in a hadronic medium:Interaction and transport coefficients
We review the recent results of heavy meson diffusion in thermal hadronic matter. The interactions of D and B mesons with other hadrons (light mesons and baryons) are extracted from effective field theories based on chiral and heavy-quark symmetries. When these guiding principles are combined with exact unitarity, physical values of the cross sections are obtained. These cross sections (which contain resonant contributions) are used to calculate the drag and diffusion coefficients of heavy mesons immersed in a thermal and dense medium. The transport coefficients are computed using a Fokker-Planck reduction of the Boltzmann equation
