Heavy quarks are copiously produced in ultra-peripheral heavy ion collisions. In the strong electromagnetic fields, c c-bar and b b-bar are produced by photonuclear and two-photon interactions; hadroproduction can occur in grazing…
Measuring the top quark mass in its semileptonic decay mode, $t ->be^+\nu$ ($b -> \mu^- + X$), through the mass distribution of the $e^+$--$\mu^-$ pair has been shown to provide a good measurement of the top quark mass with an uncertainty…

We reanalyze the production of single photons in S+Au collisions at CERN SPS to investigate: i) the consequences of using a much richer equation of state for hadrons than the one used in an earlier study by us; and, ii) to see if the recent…

The polarization of a top quark can be sensitive to new physics beyond the standard model. Since the charged lepton from top quark decay is maximally correlated with the top quark spin, it is common to measure the polarization from the…
