We present a general overview of recent QCD results at hadronic colliders.
Using optical potentials fitted to a comprehensive set of strong interaction level shifts and widths in $K^-$ atoms, we predict that the $K^-$ atomic levels which are inaccessible in the atomic cascade process are generally narrow, spanning…
We consider the difficulties of finite density QCD from the canonical formalism. We present results for small baryon numbers, where the sign problem can be controlled, in particular by supplementing the mu=0 sampling with imaginary mu…
The energy levels of the muonium ($\mu^+ e^-$) atom, which consists of two ''point-like'' leptonic particles, can be calculated to very high accuracy in the framework of bound state Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), since there are no…
In the past few years a wealth of high quality data has made possible to test current theoretical ideas about the properties of hadrons subject to extreme conditions of density and temperature. The relativistic heavy-ion program carried out…
In this letter we give the equation of state of QCD at finite temperatures and densities. The recently proposed overlap improving multi-parameter reweighting technique is used to determine observables at nonvanishing chemical potentials.…
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is a firmly established part of the Standard Model, yet its long distance properties remain challenging at a conceptual level. In recent years significant experimental and theoretical progress has been made…
The baryon-number density formed in relativistic nuclear collisions, versus the chemical potential of the freeze-out states, is systematically studied on the basis of existing measurements. A remarkable power-law behaviour of the…
We study theoretically the (K^-,N) reactions for the formation of the deeply bound kaonic atoms, which were predicted to be quasi--stable with narrow widths, using the Green function method. We consider various cases with different target…
The equation of state of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) at finite density is currently known only in a limited range in the baryon chemical potential $\mu_B$. This is due to fundamental shortcomings of traditional methods such as Taylor…
Recent developments in finite-temperature QCD with dynamical quarks are reviewed focusing on the topics of critical temperature, the equation of state, and critical behaviors around the chiral phase transition.
We describe the application of Dyson-Schwinger equations to the calculation of hadron observables. The studies at zero temperature (T) and quark chemical potential (mu) provide a springboard for the extension to finite-(T,mu). Our exemplars…
A comprehensive parameterization of the colour singlet heavy quark free energy above $T_c$ is given, using the lattice data in quenched ($N_f=0$) and unquenched ($N_f=2$ and $N_f=3$) QCD. The corresponding (temperature dependent) potentials…
After sketching some historical events related to Yukawa and Tomonaga concerning the birth of mesons, the author describes recent developments in the spectroscopy of pion-nucleus bound states via "pion-transfer" reactions. The role of pions…
I give a brief overview of recent theoretical developments concerning the high temperature phase of QCD, and the structure of hadronic wave functions at high energy.
These days, as high energy particle colliders become unavailable for testing speculative theoretical ideas, physicists are looking to other environments that may provide extreme conditions where theory confronts physical reality. One such…
A phenomenological QCD quasiparticle model provides a means to map lattice QCD results to regions relevant for a variety of heavy-ion collision experiments at larger baryon density. We report on effects of collectives modes and damping on…
We show that under a number of rather plausible assumptions QCD spectrum may contain a number of mesons which have not been predicted or observed. Such states will have the quantum numbers of two existing mesons and masses very close to the…
We theoretically investigate kaonic atom states based on the latest high precision data of the $2p$ states of the kaonic atoms in $^3$He and $^4$He (J-PARC E62). We consider the phenomenological form for the optical potential proportional…
We construct explicit bound state wave functions and bound state energies for certain $N$--body Hamiltonians in one dimension that are analogous to $N$--electron Hamiltonians for (three-dimensional) atoms and monatomic ions.
