We describe a field-theoretic approach to calculate quantum shot noise in nanoscale conductors from first principles. Our starting point is the second-quantization field operator to calculate shot noise in terms of single quasi-particle…
We consider the collision of a dark soliton with an obstacle in a quasi-one-dimensional Bose condensate. We show that in many respects the soliton behaves as an effective classical particle of mass twice the mass of a bare particle,…
The aim of high energy nuclear collisions is to study the transition from hadronic matter to a plasma of deconfined quarks and gluons. I review the basic questions of this search and summarize recent theoretical developments in the field.
Using a rigorous method of matched asymptotic expansions, I derive the equation of motion of a small, compact body in an external vacuum spacetime through second order in the body's mass (neglecting effects of internal structure). The…
The relativistic structure of the self-energy of a nucleon in nuclear matter is investigated including the imaginary and real components which arise from the terms of first and second order in the NN interaction. A parameterized form of…

Mass shifts $\Delta m$ of particles in nuclear matter relative to their vacuum values are considered. A general formula relating $\Delta m(E)$ ($E$ is the particle energy) to the real part of the forward particle-nucleon scattering…
We calculate the speed of sound $c_s$ in an ideal gas of resonances whose mass spectrum is assumed to have the Hagedorn form $\rho(m) \sim m^{-a}\exp{bm}$, which leads to singular behavior at the critical temperature $T_c = 1/b$. With $a =…
We consider the discontinuities in a two-constituent relativistic superfluid. In the acoustic limit they degenerate into the first and second sound which are independent up to the second-order linear approximation. Inclusion of the…
We recently proposed a new approach to high energy nuclear scattering, which treats the initial stage of heavy ion collisions in a sophisticated way. We are able to calculate macroscopic quantities like energy density and velocity flow at…
Using the elementary axioms of special relativity and quantum mechanics we construct a wave equation which generalizes the Schrodinger equation. We also solve the general second and some higher order differential equations.
We develope a theory of sound in a relativistic superfluid with quantum vortices. The vortices are presented by vortex fluid. For a particular separable model we find new modes of which a non-relativistic superfluid is deprived.
We consider the dynamics of vortex strings and sound waves in superfluids in the phenomenological Landau-Ginzburg equation. We first derive the vortex equation where the velocity of a vortex is determined by the average fluid velocity and…
The effects of the presence of hyperons and a phase transition to deconfined quark matter on the speed of sound in neutron stars is investigated. For this purpose a composite description consisting of a model of the covariant field theory…
It has been suggested that chaotic motion inside the nucleus may significantly limit the accuracy with which nuclear masses can be calculated. Using a power spectrum analysis we show that the inclusion of additional physical contributions…
The speed of sound refers to the rate at which information travels from one point to another. It is a positive quantity and bounded by causality. It is defined as the rate of change of pressure with respect to the system's density. In this…
