Typically the materialization of high energetic transverse partons to hadronic jets is assumed to occur outside the reaction zone in a relativistic heavy ion collision. In contrast, a quantum mechanical estimate yields a time on the order…
We examine the effects of color screening on the transition of a parton plasma into a hadron gas at RHIC energies. It is found that as expected, color screening posed itself as a significant barrier for hadronization. Parton-hadron…
We consider the evolution of a parton system which is formed in the central region just after a relativistic heavy ion collision. The parton consist of mostly gluons, minijets, which are produced by elastic scattering between constituent…
We estimate freezeout conditions for $s$, $c$, and $b$ quarks in high energy nuclear collisions. Freezeout is due either to loss of thermal contact, or to particles ``wandering'' out of the region of hot matter. We then develop a thermal…
From the very early days of Particle Physics, both experimental and theoretical studies on proton-proton collisions had occupied the center-stage of attention for very simple and obvious reasons. And this intense interest seems now to be at…
We consider multihadron production processes in different types of collisions in the framework of the picture based on dissipating energy of participants and their types. In particular, the similarities of such bulk observables like the…
I present recent results from jets and jet-like correlation measurements from STAR. The pp data are compared to those from Au-Au collisions to attempt to infer information on the medium produced and how hard scattered partons interact with…
In contrast to the recent prediction of high $p_T$ hadron suppression within the parton saturation model, it is shown that multiple parton scattering suffered by the projectile will enhance high $p_T$ hadron spectra in $d+A$ collisions…
The kinematical characteristics of fragments and light particles observed in central highly fragmented nuclear collisions at intermediate energies are compared with the results of a model assuming that the initial momentum distribution of…
Nuclei are unique analyzers of the space-time development of jets at early stage. We argue that the gluon bremsstrahlung, rather than the color string, is the main mechanism of hadronization of highly virtual quarks produced in a hard…
A possible signal of new phenomena emerging in the global characteristics of multiparticle production in hadron interactions at TeV energies is studied. The multiplicity distributions of charged particles measured in proton-proton…
This paper briefly reviews the striking experimental observation of a ridge-like dihadron correlation structure in high multiplicity proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Recent progress of both experimental and…
We present measurements by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC of di-hadron pair production in \dAu collisions where the particles in the pair are varied across a wide range of pseudorapidity, out to $\eta = 3.8$. With di-hadrons, varying the…
We investigate the long-standing question of the effect of proton-antiproton annihilation on the (anti-)proton yield, while respecting detailed balance for the 5-body back-reaction for the first time in a full microscopic description of the…
An important observable to understand the properties of the matter produced in heavy-ion collisions is its strangeness content. Recent experimental results show that in semi-central collisions, the $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ global…
We analyze the recent results for suppressed production of charged hadrons for Pb+Pb collisions at the center of mass energy of 2.76 TeV/nucleon-pair. We closely follow the treatment used recently by us where partons lose energy due to…
In ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions, charm quark fragmentation is modified due to the melting of strings inside the high density partonic matter. D mesons produced in hadronization can further produce J/psi particles. Using a…
The dynamics of partons, hadrons and strings in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions is analyzed within the novel Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach, which is based on a dynamical quasiparticle model for partons…
We study the production of strange hadrons in nucleus-nucleus collisions from 4 to 160 A GeV within the Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach that is extended to incorporate essentials aspects of chiral symmetry…
Quark coalescence predictions for various multi-strange baryon to anti-baryon ratios for central Au+Au collisions at RHIC energies are compared to preliminary data of the STAR collaboration. The formation of Quark Matter and the sudden…
