Physics, as known from our local, around--earth experience, meets some of its applicability limits at the time just preceding the period of primeval nucleosynthesis. Attention is focussed here on the effects of the nucleon size.…
Knowing whether a hadron is formed inside or outside the nuclear medium is very important for correctly interpreting jet quenching in heavy-ion collisions. The cleanest experimental environment to study the space-time evolution of…

Quarkonium production in high-energy hadronic collisions is a useful tool to investigate fundamental aspects of Quantum Chromodynamics, from the proton and nucleus structure to deconfinement and the properties of the Quark Gluon Plasma…
We study the dynamics of the quark-hadron transition for a scenario in which the Universe is matter dominated and a large amount of entropy is generated by decaying particles of mass 1--10 TeV, as suggested by a large class of…
Bounds on the absorptive (imaginary) parts of the top quark chromomagnetic $\hat{\mu}_t$ and chromoelectric $\hat{d}_t$ dipole moments are obtained by reinterpreting the most recent LHC data in top quark pair production. It is found that…
Cross sections of the heavy quarkonium production process $e^+e^-\to H + \gamma$ at the c.m. energy of $Z^0$-boson resonance are calculated at leading order in $\alpha_s$ with relativistic corrections resummed within the framework of…
I discuss the diffractive production of charmonium from nuclei and the anomalous nuclear attenuation --- termed ``color transparency'' --- attributed to such processes, focusing on the few tens of GeV energy regime germane to the ELFE…
Recent experimental and theoretical studies suggest that the quarkonia suppression in a thermal QCD medium created at heavy ion collisions is a complex interplay of various physical processes. In this article we put together most of these…
The possibility that nuclear matter at a density relevant to the interior of massive neutron stars may be a quarkynoic matter has attracted considerable recent interest. In this work, we construct a field theoretical model to describe the…
Starting from the Feynman diagram representation of multiple scattering we consider the polarized $\chi_c$(1P)-charmonia production in antiproton-nucleus reactions close to the threshold ($p_{\rm lab}=5-7$ GeV/c). The rescattering and…
We calculate the dissociation rates of quarkonium ground states by tunnelling and direct thermal activation to the continuum. For hadronic matter at temperatures $T \leq 0.2$ GeV, neither of these mechanisms leads to a sufficiently large…
We present a quantitative description of $J/\psi$ and $\psi^\prime$ suppression in proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions at CERN energies. We use a conventional hadronic framework based on nuclear absorption plus final state…
Charmonium and bottomonium production is studied using $\mu^+\mu^-$ data samples collected by the CDF and D0 experiments during the 1992-96 p-pbar collider run at the Fermilab Tevatron. The inclusive cross sections as a function of the…
The continued interest to the study of the radiative neutron capture on atomic nuclei is caused, on the one hand, by the important role of this process in the analysis of many fundamental properties of nuclei and nuclear reactions, and, on…
We study charmonium production in proton-nucleus ($p$-A) collisions focusing on final-state effects caused by the formation of an expanding medium. Toward this end, we utilize a rate equation approach within a fireball model as previously…
In the energy range of RHIC and LHC the mechanisms of nuclear suppression of charmonia are expected to be strikingly different from what is known for the energy of the SPS. One cannot think any more of charmonium produced on a bound nucleon…

We calculate the nucleon parameters in symmetric nuclear matter employing the QCD sum rules approach. We focus on the average energy per nucleon and study the equilibrium states of the matter. We treat the matter as a relativistic system of…
