Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written primarily for researchers and graduate students who are new in this emerging field, this book develops the necessary tools so that readers can follow the latest advances in this subject. Readers are first guided to examine the basic informations on nucleon-nucleon collisions and the use of the nucleus as an arena to study the interaction of one nucleon with another. A good survey of the relation between nucleon-nucleon and nucleus-nucleus collisions provides the proper comparison to study phenomena involving the more exotic quark-gluon plasma. Properties of the quark-gluon plasma and signatures for its detection are discussed to aid future searches and exploration for this exotic matter. Recent experimental findings are summarised.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the advent of heavy-ion reactions, nuclear physics has acquired a new frontier. The new heavy-ion sources operating at electrostatic accelerators and the high-energy experiments performed at Berkeley, Dubna, Manchester and Orsay, have opened up the field, and have shown us impressive new prospects. The new accelerators now under construction at Berlin, Daresbury and Darmstadt, as well as those under consideration (GANIL, Oak Ridge, etc. ) are expected to add significantly to our knowledge and understanding of nuclear properties. This applies not only to such exotic topics as the existence and lifetimes of superheavy elements, or the possibil ity of shock waves in nuclei, but also to such more mundane issues as high-spin states, new regions of deformed nuclei and friction forces. The field promises not only to produce a rich variety of interesting phenomena, but also to have wide-spread theoretical implications. Heavy-ion reactions are characterized by the large masses of the fragments, as well as the high total energy and the large total angular momentum typically involved in the collision. A purely quantum-mechanical description of such a collision process may be too complicated to be either possible or inter esting. We expect and, in some cases,know that the classical limit, the limit of geometrical optics, a quantum-statistical or a hydrodynamical description correctly account for typical features.
Download or read book Heavy Ion Collisions At Intermediate Energy Theoretical Models written by Dasgupta Subal and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ions are atoms or molecules stripped of their electrons, so they can be accelerated by electric fields. They can be made to hit each other with low energy, intermediate energy, high energy, or very high energy; each energy range seeks to investigate different aspects of hadronic physics. Intermediate-energy heavy ion collisions explore the nuclei far from stability valley, the incompressibility of nuclear matter, the liquid-gas phase transition in nuclear environment, the symmetry energy far from the normal density, and other phenomena. This has been an active field of research for last four decades.This is a book for entrants in the field. It is suitable as a companion book in a graduate course. For practitioners in the field it will be useful as a reference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We begin with a discussion of ee− annihilation into hadrons, a process blessed with well-known elements of simplicity. We consider the opposite extreme of highly relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions. Here a space-time description has its own elements of simplicity, elements which might conceivably be applicable in hadron-hadron collisions. We also address the more immediate issues of how these ideas relate to present-day observations, especially high-energy hadron-hadron collisions. 40 references.

Book excerpt: An up-to-date text, covering the concept of incomplete fusion (ICF) in heavy ion (HI) interactions at energies below 10 MeV/nucleon. Important concepts including the exciton model, the Harp Miller and Berne model, Hybrid model, Sum rule model, Hot spot model and promptly emitted particles model are covered in depth. It studies the ICF and PE-emission in heavy ion reactions at low energies using off-beam and in-beam experimental techniques. Theories of complete fusion (CF) of heavy ions based on Compound Nucleus (CN) mechanism of statistical nuclear reactions, details of the Computer code PACE4 based on CN mechanism, pre-equilibrium (PE) emission, modeling of (ICF) and their limits of application are discussed in detail.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1984 Cargese Advanced Study Institute was devoted to the study of nuclear heavy ion collisions at medium and ultrarelativis tic energies. The origin of this meeting goes back to 1982 when the organizers met at the GANIL laboratory in Caen, France which had just started accelerating argon ions at 44 MeV per nucleon. We then realized that 1984 should be the appropriate time to review the first results obtained with such new kinds of facilities. The material contained in this volume, presenting many beautiful re sults on nuclei at high excitation, fully confirms this point. Many stimulating exchanges between experts in rather diffe rent fields already took place during the school and we hope that this cross fertilization will lead to further developments. About half of the present volume is also devoted to the field of relativistic heavy ion collisions, which is now expanding rapidly. As an illustration, let us recall that the construction of a 30 on 30 GeV per nucleon collider at Brookhaven has been recognized last year as one cf the major priorities by the US Nuclear Science Advisory Committee. We would like to express our gratitude to NATO for its ge nerous financial support which made this institute possible. We also wish to thank the Institut de Physique Nucleaire et de Physique des Particules (France), the Commissariat a l'energie atomique (France) and The National Science Foundation (USA) for the attribution of travel grants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heavy ions are collided at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in an effort to create a unique state of nuclear matter, where quarks and gluons can freely move over volumes larger than the typical size of a nucleon (typical scale of Quantum Chromodynamics, QCD). In this state, called a "Quark Gluon Plasma" (QGP), it is proposed Chiral symmetry is restored. The fact that Chiral symmetry is a symmetry of the Standard model and is broken at low energy (current energy scale of universe) makes the study of its possible very interesting. The analysis in this dissertation searches for signatures of chiral symmetry restoration at the phase transition between the QGP and the hadronic gas phase by using resonance particles as probes. Resonances may decay inside of hot dense matter due to their short lifetimes, and therefore their decay daughters carry away dynamical information such as the mass and decay width. Mass shift and width broadening are predicted signatures of chiral symmetry restoration. The [phi](1020) resonances reconstructed from the dielectron decay channel are investigated in this dissertation. This decay channel does not suffer scattering from the late hadronic medium due to the relatively small interaction cross section of leptons with hadrons. The disadvantage of this channel comes from the small branching ratio. Therefore, large statistics and clean Particle IDentification (PID) are necessary for this analysis. Those requirements were fulfilled with high luminosity beams at RHIC and the newly developed and installed Time Of Flight (TOF) detectors, which provide clear particle identification up to momentum of 2-3 GeV/c, as well as the large acceptance of the Solenoidal Tracker At RHIC (STAR) detector. In this dissertation, measurements of mass, width, transverse momentum spectrum, and yields of [phi][right arrow] e+e− at mid-rapidity [mathematical symbols] from the STAR experiment in Au+Au collisions at [mathematical symbols]=200 GeV are presented and compared to a previously measured [phi] meson result from a hadronic decay channel. The possibility of medium modification which implies Chiral symmetry restoration is discussed.
