On Commutation Relations for Quons

The model of generalized quons is described in a purely algebraic way. Commutation relations and corresponding consistency conditions for our generalized quons system are studied in terms of quantum Weyl algebras. Fock space representation and corresponding scalar product is also given.Comment: 17 pages in Latex, (corrected missprints in two formulas

New baryonic and mesonic observables from NA61/SHINE

One of the main objectives of the NA61/SHINE experiment at the CERN SPS is to study properties of strongly interacting matter. This paper presents new results on observables relevant for this part of the NA61/SHINE programme. These include the first ever measurements of $\phi$ meson production in p+p collisions at 40 and 80 GeV, and most detailed ever experimental data at 158 GeV. This contribution demonstrates the superior accuracy of the present dataset with respect to existing measurements. The comparison of p+p to Pb+Pb collisions shows a non-trivial system size dependence of the longitudinal evolution of hidden strangeness production, contrasting with that of other mesons. Furthermore, proton density fluctuations are investigated as a possible order parameter of the second order phase transition in the neighbourhood of the critical point (CP) of strongly interacting matter. An intermittency analysis is performed of the proton second scaled factorial moments in transverse momentum space. A previous analysis of this sort revealed significant power-law fluctuations for the "Si"+Si system at 158A GeV measured by the NA49 experiment. The fitted power-law exponent was consistent within errors with the theoretically expected critical value, a result suggesting a baryochemical potential in the vicinity of the CP of about 250 MeV. The analysis will now be extended to NA61/SHINE systems of similar size, Be+Be and Ar+Sc, at 150A GeV. Finally, spectator-induced electromagnetic (EM) effects on charged meson production are being studied and bring information on the space-time position of the pion formation zone, which appears to be much closer to the spectator system for faster pions than for slower ones. On that basis, we demonstrate that the longitudinal evolution of the system at CERN SPS energies may be interpreted as a pure consequence of local energy-momentum conservation

Remarks on Quantum Statistics II

Some problems related to an algebraic approach to quantum statistics are discussed. Generalized quantum statistics is described as a result of interactions. The Fock space representation is discussed. The problem of existence of well--defined scalar product is considered. An example of physical effect in system with generalized statistics is also given.Comment: 14 pages in Latex, This paper is an revisited version of the paper in Proceedings of the Conference "Particles, Fields and Gravitation", ed. by J.
