Using gauge/gravity duality, we first study the string breaking and melting of doubly heavy baryon at a finite chemical potential and temperature in this paper. The decay mode $\rm{Q Q q \rightarrow Q q q+Q \bar{q}}$ is investigated with…
In this work, we use gauge/gravity duality to study potential energy and string-breaking of triply heavy baryons at finite temperature and chemical potential. Two different possible configurations of triply heavy baryon are considered. The…
Making use of the gauge/string duality, it is possible to study some aspects of the string breaking phenomenon in the three quark system. Our results point out that the string breaking distance is not universal and depends on quark…
Gauge/gravity duality is used to study properties of the doubly heavy baryon $(\mathrm{QQq})$ at finite rapidity and temperature in the heavy-ion collision. We investigate the impact of rapidity on string breaking and screening of…

String breaking is a non-perturbative long-distance feature of QCD that is involved in for example meson decays. A mixing analysis of lattice operators at zero temperature gives the level splitting and mixing energy between the broken and…
Considerable progress has been achieved recently in the observation of string breaking within non-Abelian Higgs models, by use of multi-channel methods allowing for broken string states. Similarly, in pure gauge theory this approach has…

Ideas about a duality between gauge fields and strings have been around for many decades. During the last ten years, these ideas have taken a much more concrete mathematical form. String descriptions of the strongly coupled dynamics of…
Gauge invariance of QCD dictates the presence of string junctions in the wave functions of baryons. In high-energy inclusive processes, these baryon junctions have been predicted to induce the separation of the flows of baryon number and…
I review at a non-technical level the use of the gauge-string duality to study aspects of heavy ion collisions, with special emphasis on the trailing string calculation of heavy quark energy loss. I include some brief speculations on how…
Over the last decade, both experimental and theoretical advances have brought the need for strong coupling techniques in the analysis of deconfined QCD matter and heavy ion collisions to the forefront. As a consequence, a fruitful interplay…
We use gauge/string duality to estimate the Debye screening mass at non-zero temperature and baryon chemical potential. We interpret this mass as the smallest one in the open string channel. Comparisons are made with the results from…

Baryon production is studied within the framework of quantized fragmentation of QCD string. Baryons appear in the model in a fairly intuitive way, with help of causally connected string breakups. A simple helical approximation of QCD flux…

We have been examining the phenomenon of string breaking in QCD with two flavors of dynamical staggered quarks. We construct a transfer matrix from a combination of ``string'' and ``two-meson'' channels. Preliminary results with low…
We consider the phenomenological consequences of the assumption that the baryons are the systems of three quarks and string junction. The process of baryon number transfer due to string junction propagation in rapidity space is considered…
