Equation of state of strongly interacting matter and intensity interferometry of thermal photons
2011
Abstract We find that an equation of state (EOS) for hot hadronic matter consisting of all mesons (baryons) having M 1.5 ( 2.0 ) GeV along with Hagedorn resonances in thermal and chemical equilibrium, matches rather smoothly with lattice EOS ( p 4 action, N τ = 8 ) for T up to ≈200 MeV, when corrections are made for the finite volume of hadrons. Two equations of state, HHL and HHB are constructed where the above is matched to the lattice and bag model EoS respectively at a critical temperature T c = 165 MeV . We find that the particle and thermal photon spectra differ only marginally for the two equations of state at both RHIC and LHC energies. The intensity interferometry results, speciall…
Chiral unitary approach to the K^- deuteron scattering length
2000
Starting from a recent model where the Kbar N amplitudes are evaluated from the chiral Lagrangians using a coupled channel unitary method, we evaluate here the scattering length for K^- deuteron scattering. We find that the double scattering contribution is very large compared to the impulse approximation and that the charge exchange contribution of this rescattering is as large as the sequential K^- scattering on the two nucleons. Higher order rescattering corrections are evaluated using coupled channels with K^- and Kbar^0 within the integral form of the fixed centre approximation to the Faddeev equations. The higher order corrections involving intermediate pions and hyperons are found ne…
Relativistic approach to positronium levels in a strong magnetic field
2001
We have investigated the bound states of an electron and positron in superstrong magnetic fields typical for neutron stars. The complete relativistic problem of positronium in a strong magnetic field has not been succesfully solved up to now. In particular, we have studied the positronium when it moves relativistically across the magnetic field. A number of problems which deal with the pulsar magnetosphere, as well as the evolution of protoneutron stars, could be considered as a field for application.
Finite-size Scaling of Meson Propagators
2001
Using quenched chiral perturbation theory we compute meson correlation functions at finite volume and fixed gauge field topology. We also present the corresponding analytical predictions for the unquenched theory at fixed gauge field topology. These results can be used to measure the low-energy parameters of the chiral Langrangian from lattice simulations in volumes much smaller than one pion Compton wavelength.
Description of sub-barrier heavy ion fusion in a semiclassical quantum tunneling model
1996
In this paper we apply the semiclassical method based on the Feynman path integral formalism to sub-barrier fusion of heavy nuclei. Cross sections are calculated and compared to experimental data and to coupled-channel calculations for different mass systems: 32S124Mg, 58Ni164Ni, and 16O1208Pb. The semiclassical method and coupled-channel calculations give comparable results. It is found that the coupling produces a renormalization of the barrier that is responsible for the enhancement of sub-barrier fusion cross sections and a dissipative force along the classical tunneling path.
Nonperturbative gluon and ghost propagators for d=3 Yang-Mills theory
2010
We study a manifestly gauge-invariant set of Schwinger-Dyson equations to determine the non-perturbative dynamics of the gluon and ghost propagators in d = 3 Yang-Mills theory. The use of the well-known Schwinger mechanism, in the Landau gauge leads to the dynamical generation of a mass for the gauge boson (gluon in d = 3), which, in turn, gives rise to an infrared finite gluon propagator and ghost dressing function. The propagators obtained from the numerical solution of these nonperturbative equations are in very good agreement with the results of SU(2) lattice simulations. We would like to thank A. Cucchieri and T. Mendes for kindly making their lattice results available to us, and for t…
Gauge coupling instability and dynamical mass generation in N=1 three-dimensional supersymmetric QED
1999
Using superfield Dyson-Schwinger equations, we compute the infrared dynamics of the semi-amputated full vertex, corresponding to the effective running gauge coupling, in N-flavor N51 three-dimensional supersymmetric QED. It is shown that the presence of a supersymmetry-preserving mass for the matter multiplet stabilizes the infrared gauge coupling against oscillations present in the massless case, and we therefore infer that the massive vacuum is thus selected at the level of the ~quantum! effective action. We further demonstrate that such a mass can indeed be generated dynamically in a self-consistent way by appealing to the superfield Dyson-Schwinger gap equation for the full matter propa…
Multigluon correlations in JIMWLK
2012
We discuss applications of the JIMWLK renormalization group equation to multigluon correlations in high energy collisions. This includes recent progress in computing the energy dependence of higher point Wilson line correlators from the JIMWLK renormalization group equation. We find that the large Nc approximation used so far in the phenomenological literature is not very accurate. On the other hand a Gaussian finite Nc approximation is surprisingly close to the full result. We also discuss correlations at large rapidity separations, relevant for the "ridge" correlations observed in experiments.
Coulomb corrections to the three-body correlation function in high-energy heavy ion reactions
1998
Starting from an asymptotically correct three-body Coulomb wave-function, we determine the effect of Coulomb final state interaction on the three-particle Bose-Einstein correlation function of similarly charged particles. We numerically estimate that the Riverside approximation is not precise enough to determine the three-body Coulomb correction factor in the correlation function, if the characteristic HBT radius parameter is 5 - 10 fm, which is the range of interest in high-energy heavy ion physics.
GAUGE-HIGGS UNIFICATION MODELS WITH COSET SPACE DIMENSIONAL REDUCTION SCHEME
2009
We investigate the gauge-Higgs unification models within the scheme of the coset space dimensional reduction, beginning with two types of set up; fourteen-dimensional gauge theory with simple gauge groups and ten-dimensional gauge theory with direct product gauge groups. We found some phenomenologically acceptable models through an exhaustive search for the candidates of the coset spaces, the gauge group in higher dimension, and fermion representation.
