A Fourier inversion problem lies at the heart of determining spatio-temporal characteristica of the final stage of a heavy ion collision: From the measured two-particle momentum correlations C(p_1,p_2) of identical particles, pions say, a…
Strange particles are produced only during high-energy collisions and carry important information regarding collision dynamics. Recent results by the ALICE Collaboration on strangeness enhancement in high-multiplicity p+p collisions have…
We derive an effective ring model in momentum space for trapped bosons with synthetic spin-orbit coupling. This effective model is characterized by a peculiar form of the inter particle interactions, which is crucially modified by the…
One of the most poorly understood phenomenon in hadron collisions, is the so called multiple parton interaction (MPI). Apart from one quark or gluon each from each colliding proton, additional quarks or gluons can interact as well, and…
We study the modifications of jets created in heavy-ion collisions at LHC energies. The inherent hierarchy of scales governing the jet evolution allows to distinguish a leading jet structure, which interacts coherently with the medium as a…
Jets produced in high energy heavy ion collisions are quenched by the quark gluon plasma. Measurements of these jets are influenced by the methods used to suppress and subtract the large, fluctuating background and the assumptions inherent…
The effects of colour reconnection (CR) at $\mathrm{e}^+\mathrm{e}^-$ colliders are revisited, with focus on recently developed CR models. The new models are compared with the LEP2 measurements for $\mathrm{e}^+\mathrm{e}^- \to…
We introduce a new coupled map lattice model in which the weak interaction takes place via rare "collisions". By "collision" we mean a strong (possibly discontinuous) change in the system. For such models we prove uniqueness of the SRB…
We present a new mechanism for the creation of large rapidity gaps in DIS events at HERA. Soft colour interactions between perturbatively produced partons and colour-charges in the proton remnant, modifies the colour structure for…
In this paper we present a two-dimensional, time dependent, numerical simulation of a reconnection current layer in incompressible resistive magnetohydrodynamics with uniform resistivity in the limit of very large Lundquist numbers. We use…
The assumption of linear confinement leads to a proportionality of the energy-momentum and space-time pictures of fragmentation for a simple qqbar system in the Lund string model. The hadronization of more complicated systems is more…
Several puzzles about the data at high $p_T$ in heavy-ion collisions are listed. The resolution of them all is given in the framework of parton recombination. More specifically, it is the recombination of the soft and semi-hard shower…
We present a Hamiltonian model describing two pairs of mechanical and optical modes under standard optomechanical interaction. The vibrational modes are mechanically isolated from each other and the optical modes couple evanescently. We…
Many of the basic ideas in multiparton interaction (MPI) phenomenology were first developed in the context of the PYTHIA event generator, and MPIs have been central in its modelling of both minimum-bias and underlying-event physics in one…
A general model covering a large variety of the so-called adhesive or cohesive, possibly also frictional, contact interfaces between visco-elastic bodies with inertia considered in a thermodynamical context is presented. A semi-implicit…
We propose a general scheme to controllably distribute pairwise entanglement in a quantum network of qubits by exploiting environmental ancilla qubits interacting with the network nodes through tunable Hamiltonians. Our approach leverages…
Production of quarks and gluons in hadron collisions tests Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) over a wide range of energy. Models of QCD are implemented in event generators to simulate hadron collisions and evolution of quarks and gluons into…

In relativistic heavy-ion collisions, the formation of a deconfined and thermalized state of partons, known as quark-gluon plasma (QGP), leads to enhanced production of strange hadrons in contrast to proton-proton (pp) collisions, which are…
