Nuclear modification of high-p_T hadron spectra in p+A collisions at LHC

Multiple parton scatterings in high-energy p+A collisions involve multi-parton correlation inside the projectile and color coherence of multiple jets which will lead to nuclear modification of final hadron spectra relative to that in p+p collisions. Such modification of final hadron spectra in p+A collisions is studied within HIJING 2.1 model which includes initial parton shadowing, transverse momentum broadening, parton flavor and momentum correlation inside the projectile through flavor and momentum conservation and fragmentation of multiple jets. They are shown to modify the partonic flavor content of final jets and momentum spectra of final hadrons in p+A collisions at the Large Hadron Collider.Comment: 4 pages in RevTex with 4 figures, LHC pPb collision energy is changed to 5TeV and additional figures are adde

Hadron production in p+p, p+Pb, and Pb+Pb collisions with the HIJING 2.0 model at energies available at the CERN Large Hadron Collider

The HIJING (Heavy-ion Jet Interaction Generator) Monte Carlo model is updated with the latest parton distributions functions (PDF) and new set of the parameters in the two-component mini-jet model that controls total $p+p$ cross section and the central pseudorapity density. We study hadron spectra and multiplicity distributions using the HIJING 2.0 model and compare to recent experimental data from $p+p$ collisions at the LHC energies. We also give predictions of hadron production in $p+p$, $p+Pb$ and $Pb+Pb$ collisions at the full LHC energy.Comment: 9 pages in RevTex with 11 postscript figures, updated with new results and some new data are included in comparison. The title is changed in this versio

Rethinking Daughter of the River in the English-Speaking World

In their article «Rethinking Daughter of the River in the English-speaking World», Liu Rong and Yang Tian analyse the subject content, feminist thought, and narrative style in this novel. Domestic studies focus on the subject and content, feminist thought, the style of narratology, and so forth, while English reviews and research mainly concentrate on the life of suffering of the Chinese underclass described in the novel. The reason for the differing focus lies in the English world’s attempt to confirm its sense of superiority or coercive mimeticism. Moreover, the feminist consciousness is studied by critics and researchers who are deeply concerned with female misery in Hong Ying’s works. The strong public response relates somewhat to the bold and straightforward erotic descriptions in this novel. Some researchers analyse the novel from a narratological perspective and show appreciation of the writing techniques./n En este trabajo Liu Rong y Yang Tian analizan el contenido, el concepto del feminismo y el estilo narrativo de la novela Hija del río. Los estudios chinos se concentran en el tema, el contenido, el concepto de feminismo o el estilo de la narración, entre otros aspectos, mientras que los investigadores ingleses se concentran principalmente en las vidas dolorosas de la clase inferior en la China descrita en la novela. La razón de la diferencia entre sus puntos de vista obedece a que el mundo inglés intenta confirmar su superioridad o mimeticismo coercitivo. Además, la conciencia feminista es estudiada por los críticos e investigadores que están interesados profundamente por la miseria femenina en los trabajos de Hong Ying. La reacción del público está relacionada con las descripciones eróticas en la novela, que son atrevidas y francas. Algunos investigadores analizan la novela desde una perspectiva narratológica y muestran aprecio por sus técnicas de escritura./n
