Book excerpt: In the framework of a hydrodynamical model, three important aspects of heavy-ion collisions are investigated: the potential energy of a nucleus as a function of deformation, the dynamical coupling between collective shape modes, and the effect of the transfer of collective energy into single-particle excitations. The dependence of potential energy on shape has the effect of preventing fusion of heavy ions unless the nuclear system can be brought inside its fission saddle point. For increasing mass number A and angular momentum the fission saddle-point shape becomes more compact than a touching-ion configuration, leading to a rapid drop of predicted fusion cross sections in the vicinity of A = 200. For nuclei with A approximately greater than 200, the coupling between collective shape modes increases the kinetic energy needed by colliding ions to coalesce to a compact shape. This increases the energy required for fusion. In addition to exciting collective shape oscillations during heavy-ion collisions, some of the initial kinetic energy is converted into internal single-particle excitation energy. Two possible mechanisms for this conversion are discussed: ordinary (two-body) viscosity, which arises from collisions between individual nucleons, and one-body dissipation, which arises from nucleon collisions with the moving potential wall. Dynamical calculations using either of these dissipation mechanisms reproduce experimental fission-fragment kinetic energies for nuclei throughout the periodic table. Many of the experimentally observed features of strongly damped heavy-ion collisions are reproduced by dynamical calculations using relatively small values of the ordinary two-body viscosity coefficient, although some discrepancies remain. The analogous calculations using one-body dissipation are not yet done. 8 figures, 1 table.

Download or read book Ultrarelativistic Heavy Ion Collisions written by Ramona Vogt and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2007-06-04 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in high energy heavy-ion physics. It is relevant for students who will work on topics being explored at RHIC and the LHC. In the first part, the basic principles of these studies are covered including kinematics, cross sections (including the quark model and parton distribution functions), the geometry of nuclear collisions, thermodynamics, hydrodynamics and relevant aspects of lattice gauge theory at finite temperature. The second part covers some more specific probes of heavy-ion collisions at these energies: high mass thermal dileptons, quarkonium and hadronization. The second part also serves as extended examples of concepts learned in the previous part. Both parts contain examples in the text as well as exercises at the end of each chapter. - Designed for students and newcomers to the field- Focuses on hard probes and QCD- Covers all aspects of high energy heavy-ion physics- Includes worked example problems and exercises

This book was released on 2010-03-24 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives an introduction to main ideas used in the physics of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The links between basic theoretical concepts (discussed gradually from the elementary to more advanced level) and the results of experiments are outlined, so that experimentalists may learn more about the foundations of the models used by them to fit and interpret the data, while theoreticians may learn more about how different theoretical ideas are used in practical applications. The main task of the book is to collect the available information and establish a uniform picture of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The properties of hot and dense matter implied by this picture are discussed comprehensively. In particular, the issues concerning the formation of the quark-gluon plasma in present and future heavy-ion experiments are addressed.

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.
