We argue that hadron multiplicities in central high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions are established very close to the phase boundary between hadronic and quark matter. In the hadronic picture this can be described by multi-particle…

The Cooper pair is generally analyzed in momentum space, but its real-space structure also follows directly from the BCS theory. It is shown here that this leads to a spherically symmetrical quasi-atomic wavefunction, with an identical…
In part I of this paper a modified BCS mechanism of Cooper pair formation of electrons was proposed. This mechanism is connected with the existence of a narrow, roughly half-filled "superconducting energy band" of given symmetry. The…
