There are indications that the beam energy region $\sqrt{s_{NN}} \approx 10$ GeV for heavy-ion collisions is an interesting one. The final state has the highest net baryon density at this beam energy. A transition from a baryon dominated to…
Heavy ion collisions at extremely high energy, such as the top energy at RHIC, exhibit the property of transparency where there is a clear separation between the almost net-baryon-free central rapidity region and the net-baryon-rich…
The hadronic freeze-out line is calculated in terms of the net baryon density and the energy density instead of the usual T and mu_B. This analysis makes it apparent that the freeze-out density exhibits a maximum as the collision energy is…

Here we thoroughly discuss the present status of the deconfinement phase transition signals outlined in the NICA White Paper 10.01. It is argued that none of the signals outlined in the NICA White Paper is prepared for experimental…
In very high energy collisions nuclei are practically transparent to each other but produce very hot, nearly baryon-free, matter in the so-called central rapidity region. The energy in the central rapidity region comes from the kinetic…

In high energy heavy-ion collisions, the two colliding nuclei pass through each other leaving behind an almost baryon free central rapidity region. Most of the baryons are carried away by the nuclear remnants and are located in the…
The ultrahigh energy range of neutrino physics (above $\sim 10^{7} \, \mathrm{GeV}$), as yet devoid of detections, is an open landscape with challenges to be met and discoveries to be made. Neutrino-nucleon cross sections in that range -…
In heavy-ion reactions, statistical models predict a rapid change in the baryon-to-meson ratio as a function of the collision energy. This change occurs when the hadronic medium transits from a baryon- to a meson-dominated gas. The…
