We note that the phenomenon of perturbative saturation leads to transverse momentum broadening in the spectrum of partons produced in hadronic collisions. This broadening has a simple interpretation as parton level Cronin effect for systems…
We compile experimental data for the averaged transverse momentum ($\left\langle p_{T}\right\rangle $) of proton, $\Lambda$, $\Xi^{-}$, $\Omega^{-}$ and $\phi$ at mid-rapidity in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$ 200, 39, 27, 19.6, 11.5,…
Heavy baryon/meson ratios $\Lambda_c/D^0$ and $\Lambda_b/\bar{B}^0$ in relativistic heavy ion collisions are studied in the quark coalescence model. For heavy baryons, we include production from coalescence of heavy quarks with free light…
We compute how the initial energy density and produced gluon, quark and antiquark numbers scale with atomic number and beam energy in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. The computation is based on the argument that the effect of all…
In an unconventional presentation of the data on the transverse momentum spectra of baryons produced in heavy-ion collisions, regularities are found that make possible the discovery of a universal formula valid for $p, \Lambda, \Xi$ and…
Interferences between different emitters in the multi-parton shower is the building block of QCD jet physics in vacuum. The presence of a hot medium made of quarks and gluons is expected to alter this interference pattern. To study such…
We derive a nonperturbative transverse momentum distribution for partons using a potential model to describe the quark-quark interaction inside the proton. We use this distribution to calculate the diferential cross-section of…
Color screening and regeneration are both hot medium effects on quarkonium production in high energy nuclear collisions. However, they affect in an opposite way the finally observed quarkonium spectra. Due to the competition of the two…
Transverse-mass spectra of protons, pions and kaons produced in collisions of heavy nuclei are analyzed within the model of 3-fluid dynamics. It was demonstrated that this model consistently reproduces these spectra in wide ranges of…
The transverse momentum spectra and their multiplicity dependence serve as key tools for extracting parameters to be compared with theoretical models. Over the past decade, the scientific community has extensively studied the possibility of…
We investigate a scaling property of transverse-momentum spectra in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions obtained by removing the global scales of multiplicity and mean transverse momentum. The resulting dimensionless observable isolates…
Dijet, dihadron, hadron-jet angular correlations have been reckoned as important probes of the transverse momentum broadening effects in relativistic nuclear collisions. When a pair of high-energy jets created in hard collisions traverse…
The early stages in the evolution of the gluons produced in the central region of a head-on high-energy heavy ion collision is studied. An equation is given for the rate of change of transverse momentum into longitudinal momentum where the…
It is demonstrated that universal mass dependence for meson and baryon inclusive cross-sections advocated recently in $e^+e^-$ annihilation and in hadronic reactions is consistent also with heavy ion collisions data and can therefore be…
In recent years a tentative description of the short-range part of hadron interactions with constituent quark interchange has been developed providing an alternative approach to meson physics. Quark interchange plays a role, for example, in…
Strangeness enhancement and collective flow are considered signatures of the quark gluon plasma formation. These phenomena have been detected not only in relativistic heavy ion collisions but also in high energy, high multiplicity events of…
We discuss a collective effect, which can be possible in hadron--hadron collisions at superhigh energies, that is, a quasi-diffraction production of several white clusters of quarks and gluons. Being transformed into hadrons, such clusters…
Atomic number ($A$) and energy ($\roots$) scaling exponents of multiplicity and transverse energy in heavy ion collisions are analytically derived in the perturbative QCD + saturation model. The exponents depend on the small-$x$ behaviour…
We compute the spectrum of gluons emitted by a highly energetic quark inside a flowing QCD medium, focusing on the soft gluon limit at first order in the opacity expansion. Specifically, we derive the leading energy-suppressed corrections…
The properties of strange hadrons, i.e. of kaons and hyperons, in the nuclear medium are discussed in connection with neutron star properties and relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Firstly, the relevant medium modifications of a kaon in a…
